[ Maruki's words are punctuated with the hum of insects, wild animals crying and calling out miles away. The silence isn't due to hesitation or weighing his options - no, they both know Akechi will acquiesce to this. It's a matter of when, not if. He keeps his voice equally low. ]
If I'm interested, I'll join you. I won't guarantee it.
[ There are few in this world, less still in their true one, that he would ever do this for. In a world where he can finally pull the strings and be the puppet master over his own life-
It's inevitable. Of course he'll be at Maruki's side each and every time a request comes out of his mouth. ]
Unless it's similar to the curry contest, that is. I refuse to do another event like that. You can take Akira instead.

1. stop that, 2. should we wrap... howls miserably
[ That's as much outright acquiescence as Maruki expects, and the true depth of it hardly needs to be spoken for it to be known. Of course Akechi will join him. He didn't ask, because he already knew the answer.
It's a rare gift, to have time given so freely by someone who never wants to be seen giving at all. Rarer still when all that time is borrowed if fate can't be defied.
He doesn't give voice to any of it. Just grins up at unfamiliar stars, their joint misery searing hot through his memories like the curry that nearly killed them, and then fishes his phone out of his pocket to start looking for the most horrible pictures he can find. ]
I seem to recall you enjoying yourself. [ No, Akechi didn't. ] Let me see if I can jog your memory about how much fun you had...
