[ oh, now he's just curious. he does not move to take the phone out of his pocket to look, mostly because he is pretty sure akira will try to grab it if he does. something for later. ]
I'll keep it safe. [ wait. that reminds him. ] I never sent you the picture.
[ ryo is just enjoying this a lot. akira's suffering is fueling him and ryo's mood just seems to approve with every passing second. akira will get the feeling like ryo is laughing... ]
He's not exactly sure how to feel--confused, for a second, then an uncertain sort of hurt from the strange sensation of the laughter. It's not the same kind of laughing at his expense as...
[ they can't have angry sex while they're emotion sharing that would be so disastrous
but he'll nod and pats akira on the shoulder before heading for the exit. he doesn't like, move much further than that since akira does not know where he is going, but at least he is no longer becoming deaf because of the beautiful sounds of africa.
he takes akira's phone out to look at it. he isn't quite snooping properly yet, just checking to see what the lock and home screens are like a possessive boyfriend before repocketing it. ]
[He watched Ryo go for a moment, and a twist of disappointed uncertainty appears before vanishing. He stands up so he can obtain the food and uno drink.
The lock screens of the phone are unfortunately the exact same screens they started with, though it’s clear to Ryo they aren’t this way because, like Ryo, he is crafty. But because he does not take the time to use his phone unless necessary. He doesn’t even have a phone case. Pure cishet male behavior. There are probably one or two small cracks or dents.
He finally wanders over to join Ryo at the entrance with the goods.]
[ when akira gets there, he will be greeted by whatever the emotional equivalent to having hives is, because that is the feeling ryo got when he saw the dents.
but once they are reunited, he'll just motion for akira to follow him. they can go to the forest biome, because that one seems the least uncomfortable. once there, they can find a nice clearing that isn't too close to the main entrance so the chances of them being walked in on is less. ]
[Us playing the opposite people of who we are IRL. He's wondering why Ryo was getting emotional hives, but doesn't ask since Ryo seems fine when he gets there? It's fine.
With the food and drink, he'll follow Ryo out to the new biomes and then into the forested one. It isn't too bad? It might be after a while, but it isn't too bad... At least, not coming from him, a person who had seen Earth in ruins with no life like this whatsoever. He won't take it for granted.
He crosses his feet at the ankles and folds down into a sit, starting to arrange the food out so they can get to it.]
[He can sit close. There is neither a spike nor a drop in whatever feelings Akira has about it, only a level plain of acceptance. They have always sat close.]
It's fine. It's not broken?
[He already pushes a chimkin tendie right against Ryo's mouth.]
[Yes, shut up and eat tendie. The same kind of subtle fondness comes back when Ryo eats the food. It's probably unfortunately something akin to maternal fondness when your child eats like they're supposed to, except whatever that would be for friends.]
They'd probably give me a new one. Especially if I asked them.
[Ryo is never going to socialize with them, RIP. A bit of defensiveness spills out of him. Instead of feeding Ryo, he eats the next chicken tender himself.]
What? I just talk to some of them is all. They're not terrible. Some of them are kinda like us in a way. They're stuck here too.
no subject
[Me being nice to people and not making him an absolutely tragedy at using the phone like I should. OOC.
He bumps Ryo with his shoulder, but then looks a little startled.]
What--no! Hey, give it back!
no subject
I'll keep it safe. [ wait. that reminds him. ] I never sent you the picture.
no subject
I kno--
[STOP. Dammit, the arousal he immediately feels because he's thinking about the god-awful picture.]
You can, like... send it later, or something.
no subject
[ ryo is just enjoying this a lot. akira's suffering is fueling him and ryo's mood just seems to approve with every passing second. akira will get the feeling like ryo is laughing... ]
When we get the food, let's go somewhere else.
no subject
He's not exactly sure how to feel--confused, for a second, then an uncertain sort of hurt from the strange sensation of the laughter. It's not the same kind of laughing at his expense as...
Anyway.]
Okay...? Where?
no subject
[ he doesn't mean their home one, since that is a fast way to turn this into an argument, but they could maybe picnic in the other ones...
he doesn't comment on akira's confusion though, even if the reaction is curious. ]
no subject
The previous weird feelings fade slightly into something more thoughtful and curious. He glances away briefly, fiddling with the phone's weight.]
Okay. Go ahead. [He jerks his chin.] I'm gonna get the food.

while he's watching though, ]
You should take better care of your phone.

[He already pushes a chimkin tendie right against Ryo's mouth.]
no subject
there's a pause as he chews and swallows. ]
Yet.

[He will eat one of the tenders, too.]
no subject
there is some annoyance, but it is difficult to tell what it's being directed to since it doesn't feel like he's annoyed at akira, exactly. ]
They must really like you.
no subject
ryo...]
Some of them, I guess. Don't some of them like you too?
no subject
[ ryo is too impersonal to go to them except for when he needs something rip... ]
Nothing like what you seem to have going on.

no subject
I see. So you're friends.
no subject
Yeah. We are.
[He pushes another chicken tender at Ryo's mouth.]
no subject
he chews. ]
I was jealous.
no subject
You were jealous...?
no subject
Can you react less dramatically?!
no subject
No? You just admitted you were jealous! Why...? Because I think they're my friend? You know you're my friend, too. Can't I have other friends?
[CONFIDENCE WEEK IS HELL.]
