[ Goddamnit. He feels awfully embarrassed that it slipped, but it worked out? Sheepish, he... Can’t do anything because his hand is occupied by a pizza, then the other is monopolized by Goro. Appetite gone, all he wants to do is snuggle with his boyfriend and take another nap. ]
We’ve grown to be those romantic couples people complain about, haven’t we.
[ 100%... It’s just three slices. Watch put all of this energy into finishing so he doesn’t need to face the reality that they’re grossly cute. ]
[ Stop looking at the table? It's plain. Akira bumps their shoulder again, trying to get Goro's attention as he keeps his eyes on him now. The only way they can get over their embarrassed, pitiful selves is to be shameless and brazen. ]
[He'll look at Akira, then away in thought. Hmmmm. He never thought he'd get this far in any relationship? What do people do for the halfway point... or rather, a milestone.]
[ That doesn't make him feel better, but he still smiles while squeezing his hand. ]
... All right, but don't take time away from your beauty sleep, princess. [ A dramatic sigh. ] You better be prepared to watch me fall constantly. Good thing I don't feel pain.
I see. That's quite the skill you have, Akira, I'm a little jealous...
[... But he's squeezing Akira's hands too, grin toning down into a more concerned smile.]
At the same time, don't forget that you're very much human and your time spent on Earth is already short compared to many other things in this world. Don't shorten it more by being reckless with fancy ability of yours.
[ HE CAN DO THIS. He can totally do this. It isn't a big deal? Akira rubs his neck as he stalls a bit, eyes darting elsewhere to keeps his mind off of the dagger-like stare stabbing him. ]
Last month, I made a couple of trips down the subway with friends or without. It was convenient against the rats and vines, but... Elliot, Yusuke, and I came across a train monster. It was fun.
[ That isn't a lie—he loved it. That may be a problem itself. ]
It tried to crush me into a pancake a couple of times.
[But it's not very mad, just sort of... well, it's a little irritated, mostly exasperated. Goro glances around and then moves over to hug his boyfriend tightly, pressing a kiss to his cheek.]
I'm glad you're alright, but please refrain from doing that? You'll worry grey into my hair, and I don't think I can pull that off as well as the twins or Secchan... Um, I faced something similar as well, and it had a fun time making me a damsel in distress.
[He was sore? As fuck? But otherwise unharmed, thank god.]
Hey, I'm fine—[ Oomf. Stop squeezing the air out of him. He hugs back just as tightly, if not tighter. ]
Let me clarify, I wasn't trying to get crushed.
[ Please. From this position, he can see the employee giving them a Look. How long have you guys loitered around here? Doing this? In front of their salad AND pizza? ]
Did you teach it not to mess with Goro Akechi after?
[ He doesn't ask if he's okay. Based on this hug and how Goro isn't grimacing, he can tell all is well. ]
[DON'T BE JEALOUS, EMPLOYEE. He'll draw away a little bit, but he's still close enough.]
Well, the others with me taught the big thing a lesson. Yu in particular was quite... um, ruthless in taking care of it, though he'd been off since we began.
[... Which he knows why now, but still.]
I tried not to venture down there too much, though. I found that I didn't quite like it as much as I thought I would.
[ Employee just thinks y’all hogging a table for no reason?? No one’s jealous? They do look like they’re ready to shop them, though. Mnnn, he trails after Goro to continue hugging him. ]
I wonder when will it be your time to shine. [ He likes it when Goro shows off, but anyway. ] Yeah, I pestered him through the whole thing. Let that be a lesson to you: Akira Kurusu is a cockroach.
[ Oh? Color him surprised? The subways should have been exhilarating, maybe give Goro memories of Mementos. Hm. ]
... Good choice. The subway wasn’t the greatest thing, really—the car with all the instruments was my least favorite, but I kept going down there and checked every car, anyway. [ ... ] There’s a chance I’m a masochist.
[ You were busy!! So he misses you. Of course he’ll allow himself a couple of minutes of selfishness. GROANING. ]
I don’t want to hear that from you. [ Mm... ] I wish it was a skeleton orchestra. It’s the car with a theater screen that plays people’s memories. You couldn’t escape because it would lock you in.

[... Ah. Oh. Goro is very interested in the table, goodness.]
Um, five, I think. We're at month five. Or we will be, by mid February. My, how time flies, doesn't it.

Got any dreams for a halfvisary?

Roller skating?
no subject
All right, Goro. I have a secret to tell you.
[ Don't mind that he's fiddling his bangs sheepishly, tugging it down as he leans towards the opposite side while watching Goro's face carefully. ]
no subject
What is it, Akira?
no subject
I can ice skate, but I can't rollerblade.
no subject
Oh. We can practice before then, if you'd like. I'm quite experienced with it.
[because he and haru no doubt go out there and fly free]
no subject
Mmmmm. Akira scratches his cheek. It's tempting, but does he really need Goro for that? ]
Will you have time for that?
[ He doesn't want to be a boooother. ]
no subject
I'll make time if I have to.
[Akira's never a bother... rather, he doesn't ask for enough to be a bother, if anything Goro feels like a bother at times.]

I can't quite tell if you're telling the truth or not. [yes he fuckin can.] I'm going to experiment a little more, darling.

It's one of my Persona's attributes, so it isn't always active unless I switch to it.
[ Feeling comfortable around Goro was a mistake. ]

[ He HATED it. ]
The only good part was when I found some maracas.
