[ wow his life is going to be completely fucking different. ryo doesn't respond right away, trying to wrap his head around this in a non yandere way. ]
[Ooooooo, Ryo is soooo stupid. Because immediately, Akira kind of brightens at the agreement. THIS HAS REALLY MADE HIS DAY. Sorry for the dorky, weak smile.]
I do, but... I don't want to stress him out. And I don't even know if any places I'll stay will allow him.
[ well. he's okay with casual mentions, like they've been doing for this conversation, but anything more in depth than that will drive him insane(r), probably. if akira suddenly announces their marriage then ryo is Giving Up. ]
[ ryo isn't sure how him being a hermit in hell would be interesting
well. he'll also likely be insane sometimes but those aren't the kind of updates that he would send to akira of all people. sometimes you have a singular somewhat moral(????) compass and you are separating from that compass so we'll see how that goes at first ]

He gets back to his feet so they don’t have to continue being awkward.]
Sure. Let’s go.
no subject
What are you... going to do, once you're there?
[ it pains him so
much
to ask this ]
no subject
So he hesitates even if his walk along with Ryo doesn't. He misses the silence almost.]
I don't know... [Which is earnest. He really isn't sure.] They said... they were in Boston last. So I guess I'd be in America.
no subject
... are you going back to school...
no subject
...I don't know. Maybe? I don't know if I'd be able to, or... I wouldn't know the language. I wouldn't have... anything.
[Like the paperwork, he means. He really is just some random guy with no paper trail out there in the world.]
If I gave you JD, Ryo... would you take care of him for me?
no subject
the way that ryo would normally be like "no" except now this cat will be the only damn thing he has of akira. ]
... yes. You don't want to bring him?
no subject
I do, but... I don't want to stress him out. And I don't even know if any places I'll stay will allow him.
[WAIT i forgot to show the baby]
no subject
That's fine. I can take care of a cat. It shouldn't be that hard.
[ if he can remember to give akira food he can do this ]
... and forging paperwork isn't that difficult either. For the record.
no subject
[Just… to remind Ryo. He shakes his head gently.]
You’re good at that kind of thing, Ryo, not me. I probably couldn’t forge papers to save my life.
no subject
[ especially if he ever has to travel, or get a job, or just. anything. he frowns.
he doesn't comment on the loving the cat thing but he is not saying no, at least. ]
no subject
They’d have to do it or something. I wouldn’t have anything, especially not money or… I don’t know, prestige. I can’t forge documents.
no subject
[ it's muttered, and it doesn't come off as sad or resentful, but more like a parent scolding a child. ]
Just know it'll have to be taken care of at some point. Preferably sooner than later, so you're not entirely dependent on them.
no subject
I know… I’ll remember, Ryo. I’ll figure it out. [Peers at Ryo.] Are you worried?
no subject
Yes. Why wouldn't I? I don't know anything about where you're going.
[ and he doesn't trust the twins at all. he knows that goes both ways, but at this point there's not much he can do about it. ]
no subject
Hearing it from Ryo touches him.]
If we were able to communicate… would you want to? For me to tell you about where I am. What it’s like.
no subject
... I don't want to hear about him.
[ well. he's okay with casual mentions, like they've been doing for this conversation, but anything more in depth than that will drive him insane(r), probably. if akira suddenly announces their marriage then ryo is Giving Up. ]
no subject
It’s okay. I won’t talk about him. I’ll talk about Boston, or… America. It’ll probably be boring. It’ll be how our world was before.
Maybe I’d be able to send you pictures.
no subject
but ryo just nods his head. that might be... doable. maybe. he's not sure how sustainable it'll be the longer it gets but. ]
... I can tell you about your cat.
no subject
Ryo gets the dorky smile again even if Ryo doesn’t want it.]
I’d like that. But I don’t mind hearing how you’re doing either.
no subject
[ ryo isn't sure how him being a hermit in hell would be interesting
well. he'll also likely be insane sometimes but those aren't the kind of updates that he would send to akira of all people. sometimes you have a singular somewhat moral(????) compass and you are separating from that compass so we'll see how that goes at first ]
no subject
[PLEASE DON'T TELL HIM THOSE UPDATES. THINK OF JD. This is the worst. He really made Ryo live and suffer. PSL ME FRANCY.]
As long as I know you're okay.
no subject
anyway, ryo just nods his head slowly. ]
... I'll be fine. I think I'll likely be stronger than a lot of others here.
[ probably not what akira meant, but, ]
no subject
THIS IS NOT WHAT HE MEANT AT ALL ALSO.]
You are. I just... [Ryo is as stupid as he is despite being a genius.] I'd like to know how you are from time to time.
no subject
but ryo blinks, also realizing he is stupid. ]
... I'll always be the same. But okay.
no subject
GOD. Typing that anytime when Satan is involved cracks me up.]
I dunno. I don't think you're the same Ryo you were when we got here...?
