( He didn't have to walk her out to the common room, but be it far from Night Sky to reject such a polite offer from a guy she likes.

Be it far from Night Sky to also give a ratfuck what Akechi thinks about the whole situation. Upon entering the room, both dogs rose to their feet with a stretch and padded over to their master, taking heel as she knelt down to pat them on the head. )


You would have known if we were fucking, even with walls this thick. ( Said without hesitation and without the smile fading from her lips. ) Did you enjoy your snuggle with the boys? Seems like you had a wilder night than we did.

[ Maruki, drawing a breath to give Akechi the most casual Good Morning Fellow Housemate Would You Like An Omelette Ha Ha Everything Is Normal greeting, immediately chokes on it.

Don't mind him spluttering and coughing and trying to get a handle on himself. Good grief.

Assume whatever you like, sweetheart.

( Night Sky knew what was up and what happened. She glanced from Akechi to Hank, who she was currently petting behind the ears. )

'Is that true?' ( It came out like a growl again, uttered right to Hank who growled in turn, interjected by a barking Bear Heart. )

'We were playing fetch with shoes and-' 'And drinking out of a mug, and eating treats and I got to wear a nice fancy shirt!' ( and Akechi and Maruki would hear Night Sky laugh. ) Yeah. They got into some mischief. ( SURE, JAN. )

[ SHE CAN FUCKING TALK TO DOGS????????? ]

Ah, well, I'm glad to see everyone had a great night. Good morning, dogs. Good morning, Akechi-kun.

[ Only someone who now knows him as well as Akechi does will be able to hear the pleasantly passive aggressive barb in that name. Kaiju bonding! ]

Night Sky, thank you again for the chat and the company.

( She can talk to all animals! Better get your shit together or she'll ask the local birds what's up.

Bear Heart continued his excited rambling of the previous night's shenanigans, tail wagging furiously. Night Sky stood, either did not notice or did not care to acknowledge the passive aggressive back and forth, and beamed a smile at both men. )


You're welcome, and he sure did. I know exactly which window to crawl through now - sorry for the interruption last night, of course. ( Night Sky spun on her heel toward Maruki and reached out to brush her fingertips under his chin. ) I should get out of your hair. Come visit me soon, okay?

( and as she pulled back, ready to leave with her dogs in tow, she shot a look over her shoulder to Akechi. ) Don't be a stranger either! The boys really like you! ( wink!

Ok bye she's out. )

Hah– oh, okay, y-yes– will do, Night Sky, thank you!

[ He watches her go.

Lets the silence in the room sit for as long as possible as he un-blushes and de-flusters.

Slowly, s l o w l y turns back toward Akechi, face a perfect mask of mild neutrality.
]

Can I offer you a cup of coffee and some toast as an apology for the unsolicited visitor?

[ IF YOU WANT SOMETHING OTHER THAN TOAST, ASK FOR SOMETHING OTHER THAN TOAST. LET THIS BE A LESSON.

Shut up. He's heading into the kitchen. Post up at the bar, Akechi.
]

I am decidedly not the type. I didn't invite her, and she never told me she was coming over!

[ Seriously, he looks a little distressed by it. ]

That's never happened to me before. I am so sorry that you were involved.

[ Maruki weathers the words as he fiddles with the coffee maker, his expression going increasingly dumbfounded.

This can't actually be happening.

Why is he still talking?

Maruki waits for him to STOP TALKING, for the only sound in the room to be the percolation of the brewing coffee, before he turns around and leans back against the counter.
]

I'm sorry. Did you just tell me I'm allowed to have sex in the castle?

[ AKECHI GORO YOU ARE SPEAKING TO YOUR MOTHER PARTNER IN CRIME ]

[ Akechi has revealed himself to not only be a skilled persona user – someone with experience wielding a creature generated from the collective unconscious and sealed to their very souls – but an efficient and tempered-enthusiastic killer of, at the very least, gigantic monsters.

Maruki is the preeminent living mind in cognitive psience, with complete control over an individual's reality that recently extended to control over the entire world, and a newly-named persona of his own whose combat skills he's dearly looking forward to testing.

And they are staring at each other, completely blank in expression, horrified by their own topic.
]

Ah. I see.

[ He cannot steeple his own hands in front of his face. He can only run his left through his hair, open his mouth to speak. Close it. Gesture vaguely. Take another breath as if to manage to say something. Fail. Sigh. Adjust his glasses. Try again. ]

Thank you for being so considerate. As we are both adults living in a shared space, I shouldn't have to say that the same goes for you. We both have the autonomy to live our lives as we choose, and the courtesy to respect one another by providing ample warning.

[ He pushes off the counter to cross the kitchen, over to the bar where Akechi sits. ]

However.

[ He leans over, grabs the little crossword book two seats down from Akechi, and lightly swats him right on top of the head with it. ]

That's not what happened! That's not what's going to happen! Are you out of your mind!? I never want anyone in my room again!

[ WHY IS HE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT???????????

Maruki baulks at him, eyes wide.
]

Oh, I'm– I'm making this more difficult? Is that so?

[ He can't help it. He laughs, the sound jolting out of him suddenly, like the sheer ridiculousness of this situation just caught up with him. Maruki leans one hand on the bar and lets his body bend over it with the force of the laughter. ]

Akechi. Seriously. This is– good god.

[ Oh, he actually hasn't laughed this hard in a while.

This is so, so fucking stupid.

He finally heaves a huge, calming breath and rights himself. He's still unsuccessfully trying to hold back little chuckles as he sets about making the promised toast, pouring the now brewed coffee into–

Where the hell is his usual mug?

Well, whatever. Into two mugs.
]

I'm not pretending anything. Absolutely nothing untoward transpired, or will transpire in that room. I'm not–

[ He pauses as he sets a cup in front of Akechi, closes his eyes, waves his hand. ]

You don't want details. I don't want to give them. But rest assured that is not what I'm after.

[ If anyone is close to unlocking his traumatic backstory, it's Akechi, but it isn't happening here and now. Honestly? This whole situation is so deeply bizarre that it's far from Maruki's mind at all, which is a blessing.

While he waits for the toast to pop up, he sugars and sips his coffee and adds one final thought:
]

Ah, but should we make sure Vash knows he's allowed too?

[ SORRY, AKECHI. NOT SORRY. YOU'RE A LITTLE SHIT AND HE LIKES TO TEASE. ]

[ Maruki watches him pull up Vash's contact.

Hears the taunt.

Pulls out his phone.

Types quickly.

Puts it back in his pocket.
]

Consider it taken care of.

[ His brightest, most winningest smile.

The toast pops up. He turns to plate it, grab a knife and the block of butter from the refrigerator.
]

Jam or honey?

Thanks. But no thanks.
