[ 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.
[ akira would be a little too tense around him. even when they normally fought back then, their body language would still be normal with each other afterwards. so it stood out, when it no longer wasn't. ]
But now I know you do actually want to be friends.

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

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.]
no subject
[ he's going to eat some chimkin on his own without prompting from akira. ]
But it's fine now.
no subject
Watches Ryo eat chimkin without him…]
“It’s fine now”?
no subject
[ (narrator voice) he is jealous again after the party ]
no subject
ryo: does not put in effort
also ryo: how dare you have fun with other people not me ]
I know, but… what changed? You just got over it? Why are you even jealous? Didn’t we say we were friends?
no subject
I guess now I'm a little more... sure of it. Us. What we are.
no subject
I was... [The feelings tangle again, but not in the same way.] It's... complicated. It was complicated, Ryo.
I know it wasn't you, but there were things... I had to think about first. So I had to pretend because... you didn't know what I did.

[ this is disgusting but
the feeling is just happy at that. very happy. ]
