Aki- 45- she's not planning anything. She was feeding rabbits and minding her own business. She has absolutely no idea why you're so worked up about her.
[I am so sorry, he's not the patient type and is terrible at this.]
You were just saying that you thought she was ok, and suddenly changed your opinion within a couple days. Unless you actually saw her do something terrible, then someone probably used their power on you to make you into a paranoid shithead.
It can absolutely be that. There's like 40 powers here and nobody knows what anybody else can do, right? Someone could totally have a power that makes someone paranoid. Not all of them are straightforward, remember?
Well like, you're worried about being stabbed in the back, right? Well if I'm hugging you from behind, I'm protecting your back. So you don't have to worry.
Or even if we just lay back-to-back I guess the result is the same, but you get what I mean.
[WELP. Akira has the high ground in height, so luckily their faces don't get stuck together during a hug. And Chuuya is surprised by the sudden hug, but after a moment of panic- "fuck is something about to attack???"- he realizes it's just Akira being emotional and accepts the hug.]
What's all this for? We're friends, right? I'm not gonna say 'good luck with that' and leave you to deal with your own thoughts.

[I mean he's letting it happen but he's so completely and utterly baffled]

And why'd you have to grab my arm like this?

You-- you told her.

Date: 2020-06-12 03:20 am (UTC)[C'mon dude he'd never give up Akira to anyone.]
no subject
Date: 2020-06-12 03:21 am (UTC)Yeah. I did see her when I went to visit the rabbits myself.
I didn't want to stick around, though.
[due to INTENSE PARANOIA]

Date: 2020-06-12 01:43 pm (UTC)I told you, Chuuya. I just. . .
I just have a bad feeling about her, that's all.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-12 01:58 pm (UTC)Think, Akira.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-12 02:05 pm (UTC)I am thinking! That's all I've been doing since arriving in this stupid place!

Date: 2020-06-12 02:17 pm (UTC)[actually gives him pause, and he gives Chuuya a very. . . confused look all of a sudden]
She. . . she hasn't done anything, no, but I just--
[. . . frowns!!]
It can't be that?

Date: 2020-06-12 02:28 pm (UTC)It feels so natural. If it were a power, wouldn't I get the sense that it's an unnatural feeling?
[no probably not, Akira]

Date: 2020-06-12 02:32 pm (UTC)[Chuuya no yours is an attack power.]

Date: 2020-06-12 02:35 pm (UTC)[JUST ANGRILY SIPS AT HIS COFFEE]
I hate this place.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-12 02:42 pm (UTC)[But he can live with it as long as he can stop any potential paranoia-murders.]
no subject
Date: 2020-06-12 02:43 pm (UTC)[just. in case. Chuuya thought he might]
I don't want to kill her. I don't want her dead. I just--
[don't. want her to stab him in the back??]
no subject
Date: 2020-06-12 02:46 pm (UTC)[Or at least until curfew/knockout.]
Because I will.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-12 02:47 pm (UTC)-- what?
[he seems a bit surprised that Chuuya would even make that suggestion]

[for a moment Akira is just. absolutely speechless as he stares at Chuuya, mouth falling open and eyes wide]
[. . .]

Date: 2020-06-12 03:06 pm (UTC)I know.
[but still. . . he gives Chuuya a tight squeeze nevertheless]
Thanks.
. . . I'll be okay. I promised Dick, Yin Yu and Tsuru that I'd be back at the cabin by eleven.
[another squeeze]
But thank you for. . . being willing to protect my back.
