[the way Akira's eyes widen and his mouth falls open is probably not the response Chuuya was expecting. but it's the one he gets; a dumb look from someone who was far more affected by that question that one might expect. do you think it's possible? does he. . .?]
[. . .]
[it's what he's been hoping for, right?]
I don't know.
[and he really doesn't. despite his best efforts, Akechi is always himself]
[Chuuya might not be as smart as Dazai, but he's not stupid by any means. He sees that reaction, and he knows enough about Akira's awkward rivalry with Akechi to piece it together. No wonder Akira understands Chuuya and Dazai's relationship so well.]
Geez! How do people like you and me keep getting tangled up with lost puppies, huh?
[Chuuya is perceptive enough, and that response tells Akira all he feels like he needs to know about what's going on through his roommate's head right now. still. . . he doesn't elaborate. he isn't yet ready to spill Akechi's secrets to everyone, after all]
[that comment makes Akira laugh, a breathless and resigned noise]
But that's okay, Chuuya is laughing as he grabs the nearest object (probably a pillow) to try and hit Akira with. It's a tangle of blankets but he will have his revenge.]

[. . .]
[. . . it's similar, isn't it? Akira's expression softens, now pensive]
It might be a little bit of both.
[just like it is for Akechi]

Date: 2020-03-16 12:06 am (UTC)He can learn better, yeah? Like, by being around good people, maybe he can learn to be good. Do you think it's possible?
[It's what Chuuya wants to believe. But he's having a hard time believing in anything right now.]

But I think it'd be stupid to not try.
People like him are people, too.
[and they don't deserve to just be given up on]
