I understand. Maybe...it's really better that way.
[ He lets go of Akira's hand and scoots away from him, smiling gently. ]
I'm sorry if I wasn't too much of a help. [ The smile only grows wider, it's just as he wants to hide something. ] It might be naive of me, but I think that if it's you...you could help him. I'm sure of it, actually. Do you think you could ever forgive him?
[ that's a loaded question. akira isn't sure how to respond at first. so he just ... sighs and then flops back on the bed entirely, staring at the ceiling. ]
... I don't know. [ a frown. ]
If he was actually sorry - if he actually realized how much of an ass he was being, maybe. ...But it'd be hard. He hurt a lot of people.
[ this is hard. so very hard. every part of akira's moral compass tells him that killing is immoral. no matter what the reason. even if there's a gun to your head you find another way if you can. killing is a last resort and it's rarely ever excused.
so he doesn't answer that question. he takes hibiki's second comment as an escape route. ]
[ Well, killing is immoral. Hibiki is aware of that, but it never bothered him. Not until he got dragged into some world-hopping mission and met someone who became quite important to him over the course of time. He might not fully realize just how important that person is to him, though.
Not getting an answer is suspicious, but Hibiki just plays along without mentioning it. ]
The island must've been really boring for you, I suppose.
[ minus the whole akechi threat. but he's tabling that for now. instead, he's going to lean his head against hibiki's, quietly sighing and soaking up the other's presence. ]
Especially now. I can focus on properly dating you. [ AKIRA. ]
[ and he even has the audacity to lick his lips, eyes dropping to hibiki's. there's a half-second pause that feels like hours before akira angles his head enough to kiss him properly, his eyes falling shut on their own. it's warm and safe and so much better than his own dark, troubled thoughts. ]
[ Hibiki's eyes flick away from Akira when he notices what he's doing (2lewd4him), so there's no way he can't see the kiss coming. It's a pleasant surprise, however. Short on breath, he pulls away reluctantly. ]
That's a good start, but what if it's not enough?
[ Don't provoke him, gosh. He just wants to hold hands but this comes off rather...yeah. ]

[ Another loaded question, just for Akira. ]
You're going through a lot for a high school student, to be quite honest.
[ Hibiki's reluctant, but in the end he leans his head against Akira's shoulder and sighs softly. ]

It keeps life interesting, I guess.

What does properly dating even ensue, anyway?
[ He might be blushing. A little bit. Just a little! ]

[ and stressed out. akira flicks his gaze over to him, lips curling into a mischievous smile. ]
Now I can get to know you better and charm you like a proper gentleman.
no subject
[ Getting to know him better or to charm him? Hibiki doesn't point out which on purpose. ]
But you might try.

[ the furtive look doesn't leave. instead, it grows and he reaches out to thread his fingers back into hibiki's hair,
cupping the back of his head. ]
no subject
[ He's all ears, Akira. And totally ignoring that look. Well, for now, at least. ]
I might have some ideas as well.
