[something. . . flickers on Akira's expression at that. and he looks like he wants to say something else, mouth falling open. but he thinks better of it and snaps his mouth shut, jaw set tightly]
[it helps that he's talking. . . it helps that Akira trusts Chuuya, despite him saying he trusts 45. for a moment, Akira's brows furrow in a conflicted expression]
I just-- [it's going to sound stupid]
I feel like she might try something tonight. I don't have any reason to think this, it's just a gut feeling.
[. . .]
And if she does try anything, I'm worried she might come after-- me.
Well. Chuuya can't fault that logic, really. Akira's instinct is good.]
Well she can't kill you if she can't find you, right?
Let's trade places tonight. If she goes looking for you and finds me instead, she won't kill me. And you'll be safely hidden, because nobody will know it's not me.
[And then he. Is going to loop an arm around Akira's shoulder to pull him down and ruffle his hair. Mods said touching hair doesn't make people get stuck, so.]

I'm okay? Still waiting for the other shoe to drop, but there's not much we can do until then.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 02:26 pm (UTC)[too late for that, though]
[Akira's brows furrow at that answer and, with one last look around their surroundings, he reaches out to tug on Chuuya's sleeve]
Can we talk inside the cabin?
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 02:28 pm (UTC)Sure, c'mon.
[Let's go to one of their cabins, yes. Time for privacy!]
What happened?
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 02:30 pm (UTC)What? Nothing, it's just--
[. . . is it just Chuuya, or does he seem pretty nervous?]
I'm worried about tomorrow.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 03:00 pm (UTC)[HONESTLY Chuuya is worried about the same thing. He's so sure a murder is going to happen.]
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 03:09 pm (UTC)Yeah.
[. . .]
[he peers outside the window again]
You were close to 45 back at the mansion, right?
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 03:15 pm (UTC)[He's been a little worried, but now his worry is spiking.]
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 03:16 pm (UTC)If she's your friend. . . then how much do you trust her?
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 03:27 pm (UTC)[YEAH...sorry Akira, when he trusts someone, he goes hard with it.]
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 03:29 pm (UTC)Okay.
. . . if you say so.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 03:31 pm (UTC)If you have something to say, say it.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 03:32 pm (UTC)No, I-- [ugh] It's not that anything happened.
[ugh he hates feeling like this]
I'm just anxious. That's all.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 04:26 pm (UTC)[He's. Not the best at coaxing answers out of people. But he's talking instead of yelling so there's that at least?]
C'mon Akira, talk to me. What's on your mind?
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 04:30 pm (UTC)I just-- [it's going to sound stupid]
I feel like she might try something tonight. I don't have any reason to think this, it's just a gut feeling.
[. . .]
And if she does try anything, I'm worried she might come after-- me.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 05:24 pm (UTC)Two: why you, of all people?
[Like. Chuuya doesn't believe that 45 will kill Akira, but Akira is worried about it so he's not going to write off those fears as nothing.]
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 05:25 pm (UTC)[a note of frustration appears in his voice at that, and he presses a hand against his face]
I can't explain it, Chuuya. It's just-- it's just a feeling.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 05:26 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 05:28 pm (UTC)[looks a bit surprised at that question, then his brows furrow]
No, that's not it. All I can really say is that it's intinct.
[he lifts a hand, holding it over his heart, fingers curling into his shirt]
That it's an intuition I can't shake, no matter how hard I try.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 05:30 pm (UTC)Well. Chuuya can't fault that logic, really. Akira's instinct is good.]
Well she can't kill you if she can't find you, right?

no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 05:33 pm (UTC)No, I-- I can't do that. I promised Dick and Yin Yu and Tsurumaru I'd stay with them tonight.
[and I already put in my curfew comment I'M TOO LAZY FOR THIS]
. . . plus, I don't want to put you in danger. I wouldn't want her to go after you just to get to me.
[why is he bringing this all back to him. . .?]
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 05:47 pm (UTC)[He. Sounds sure of this.]
Besides, I'd rather protect you than have anything happen to you.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 05:48 pm (UTC)[his expression shifts from the paranoid nervousness he's been wearing since this conversation began into something. . . far more grateful]
. . . thanks.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 05:51 pm (UTC)It's like I said, we're friends. And by now you should know I don't use that word with just anyone. So if you're worried, I'll protect you.
[Because that's what friends do. Chuuya should know, he has like 4 at this point.]
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 05:53 pm (UTC)Right. . . right.
[it'll be fine, right? he may be friends with 45, but. . . it'll be fine]
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 06:14 pm (UTC)[And then he. Is going to loop an arm around Akira's shoulder to pull him down and ruffle his hair. Mods said touching hair doesn't make people get stuck, so.]
It's gonna be fine, you hear me?
