Only when I'm contemplating my meager existence in the grand scale of everything the world offers. It's quite humbling, knowing that everything on this planet belongs to insectkind and we're simply being allowed to live in their domain.
[ He’s quiet before he bursts out laughing again, but it doesn’t last too long. It kind of hurts his full stomach... ]
Has anyone told you you’re silly? Though I guess you would be in high regard to our insect overlords.
[ Reaching for the jar, he releases the fireflies their caught. Buzz buzz, friends, but he doesn’t mention the ones that be decided to use Goro as a nest. He’s going to give it maybe a couple minutes longer. ]
[The fireflies aren't the only thing lighting up Goro's night. Akira's such a source of warmth in the chill, even if the laughter's at him... He rubs the back of his warming neck, leaning back on a hand as he looks up at the sky.]
Silly is possibly the kindest thing you could've said to that. I'll put in a good word for you in return.
[There are just much worse things he could've been called than just "silly"!!!
That gets him to jerk a bit in surprise though, hand reach up to capture one and brush the others away, clucking his tongue.]
I feel somewhat pleased, on the other hand, that they landed on me... I've always wanted a butterfly to do that, but they're skittish. I'll bet you've had one land on you though.
[ That's such a strange assumption to make? Akira only raises his eyebrows as he ushers Goro off of the quilt. They should probably head back with hard dark it is... ]
I don't think I have, but maybe it happened while I was sleeping. I'm sure a butterfly will grace you with its presence eventually.
[ Because like... his thought bubble just shows a sunflower? Goro is like a sunflower. ]
You just seem like the sort of person that would manage to sit still enough for that.
[He'll help with the clean up, because they really should get back. And be clearly amused by the flower that catches his momentary attention. A sunflower... How cute.]
Though mostly due to sleeping, yes. I'm surprised they didn't make more of a nest out of your hair, though, it's soft and perfect for it.
That's weird to hear. I usually feel antsy? Not sure why.
[ Maybe because he's always itching to break away from the life he led before... Now that they're all packed, it's time to walk back even if Akira kind of wants to sleep in the forest. It's a lot better than sleeping on the beach. He starts leading them back. ]
[Goro likes his hair being touched in the first place, he finds that's doubled with Akira. He feels so hopeless, god, he'll play with his hair idly, a warm sort of color overtaking his thoughts.]
Only the finest products... and genes, I suppose. Thank you, even if we're talking about this in context of five star ratings for firefly motels.
[ YOU ARE SUCH A LOVESTRUCK HIGH SCHOOLER even if they only recently graduated? It's almost embarrassing, but he'll keep smiling so he doesn't die on their walk back. ]
It's no problem. I would nest in your hair any day?
Even if you tease me about it, I know you'll sit down and watch them with me anyway. That's why I can be honest around you.
[mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm he got asked out this time, so he should... He will. Ahem. Have the world's shyest cheek peck. Because that's what you do after dates. And Akira gave him one last time, so it's fair. That's all. Nothing else to it.]
Thank you for inviting me out. It was a lot of fun. [and exactly what he wanted to do in not as many words.] I'll, um, see you around? Maybe we can do the other things too sometime. If you don't mind.
If you keep this up, your lifelong movie date will disappear.
[ He's wondering if they're spending so much time that Goro can predict what he does? Is that a good thing? Or a bad thing... But he can't delve into that when he's attacked by a cheek peck. Instinctively, he raises his hand to touch the affected area, a little startled.
ARE YOU REALLY GORO?? ]
Yeah, I had fun, too. [ Still wide-eyed and hasn't unlocked the door to Mochi house. ] I... would like that—there's no way I would mind.
[Oh-- oh, um. Oh gosh. Fuck. If they're right, they're right, but denial's a deep river and his memories really don't help. Akira wouldn't want to be his friend if he had the idea that his other self may have killed people. He wouldn't want to be anything, except maybe putting in a restraining order, and Goro gives a slightly nervous smile as he steps back. No, better to err on not messing this up.
[ Wow, this meta sure turned dark. Akira isn't even thinking about what Betrayal means since... He has no idea? It has been how long and all he knows is that Goro, in the end, supported them then tried to catch them based on when a random entry shows up in his probation journal.
Either way, it's the last thing on his mind. Instead, he notices how his heart is beating a little faster. It's dumb. He wants to hide into his house, but he sheds a small smile. ]
The things I endure for you... [ Dramatized sigh. ] See you later, Goro. Stay safe on your way back.
[ Actually, come borrow his bike? Akira is taking it out for you (he'll pick it up later in the month that passed). ]
[-- Oh. Oh yes. Okay. Yeah. Alright, yes, he will take that, thank you, it'll be nice to pedal his feelings off. He really likes that smile.]
I will. Take care, Akira.
[he wasn't even the one kissed this time and he feels shook as fuck this is Terrible...... He'll go, he needs to exercise his energy off. Go hide, catboy.]

[ He can't imagine some people taking it as a compliment at all. ]
Also, some of the bugs are using your hair as a love hotel.

But, um. You're welcome to.

It has been done. ]

I think you watch too many romance movies, Akira. It's certainly not normally.
no subject
Some romance movies are funny.
no subject
Oh, so you do, do you? Akira Kurusu, romantic at heart. How cute.
no subject
Not as romantic as you, probably.
[ DUSK FAN. ]
no subject
[1. gross? 2. of course he's shameless about it with akira]
I'm pleased to hear we're alike in that as well, though I wouldn't think you're as bad as me...

Uh huh. Okay. Sometime, then. We'll finish Dusk and... everything else.
