Yusuke, you're doing fine.

[ Another way of saying you're perfect the way you are. Have another smack in the face with the pillow. ]

Yeah! You're great. Don't worry about it.

I know.

[ Whoa calm down there Yusuke. ]

I am just... aware of how things can come across sometimes. But I am happier this way.

[ And then he bats Akira with the pillow again because??? Wow?? ]

[ He doesn't say anything and instead gives him this determined look.

Then whacks him again. Y'all can continue your conversation. He ha a different objective now. ]

[ Oh no. This means WAR.

Yusuke whacks Akira with the pillow again. He will not falter!! ]

[ Just... Goes over to Yusuke and starts to beat the crap out of him with his cushion. ]

Uh...

[Gonna just try to scoot away from this pillowy chaos to safety]

[ TOP TEN ANIME BETRAYALS!!!

Yusuke covers his head while the assault continues, but as soon as there’s a lull in the blows he swings his own cushion out to try and wallop his assailant directly in the stomach. TAKE THAT. ]

[ Yusuke, that was only one attack... Akira stops for a second to squint at him before going back to smacking him affectionately with his cushion again. When that’s out of his system, he sits next to Elliot like it never happened. ]

Do you guys have plans for summer?

[ Nothing Happened. ]

[Why does Elliot get the feeling Akira's partly using him as a shield...........]

U-Um, well....I was hoping to go home for awhile, but who knows if that'll be possible.

I guess, try to find a summer job? You?

[ In a last ditch effort, he flings his pillow at Akira - hopefully it's an 100 point shot. But now he has to get up and fetch his pillow back. Was it worth it...?

~~Yes, it was.~~ ]

Taking up more shifts at work, most likely. There will be summer projects to work on, certainly, but also more time to earn some extra money. Maybe I will take some trips to the other areas around Recolle...

[ Not that he knows this yet, but he'll be avoiding Magatus for like. Ever. After how Sanji was after he came back from there. Bye Magatuslicia. ]

...

Why wouldn't you be able to go home, Elliot?

My plans are kind of similar to Yusuke’s.

[ Money, money, money—but his eyebrows do quirk at Elliot’s mention. He knows his roommate is from the big apple, but. Hm. He’s sure Elliot can visit when he wants. He keeps quiet and listens in.

And when Yusuke comes for the pillow that smacked him in the face, Akira is sure to whack him again. ]

[You people with all your lives being in Recolle...]

Communication to anything outside the city's still cut off. Makes it impossible to order a plane or bus ticket. And I don't have a car either, so...

[that rules that out. ]

[ You New York City dwellers and your fancy big city life. ]

Ah... It's not as easy as taking a bus, I suppose.

[ Not that... ... his mother ever contacts her parents, but it has been a pain trying to contact his dad's parents. ]

That's tough.

[ Akira can't imagine it... His parents shipped him off to Tokyo in his memories and even in Recolle they are here, also giving him a lot of independence. Their family isn't close to any extended relatives, either. ]

Do you miss them?

[ Like... As people. ]

I-I do! [That came really quick. Normally he'd leave it at that, but yeah, they are at the late night hour where things get revealed] I-It's complicated. I love them, I do. And they mean well, they're just....

...A little controlling.

Yeah, I remember you mentioning that.

[ And he also understands loving people despite how they can sometimes get on your nerves. He gives Elliot another cushion. This one is for good vibes. ]

I wonder if your mail is out there somewhere... Chomping on strangers’ hands.

[ Complicated. Was it like that for his mother and her parents, he can't help but wonder. ]

Yet, you are here not there. You seem quite adept at taking strides on your own regardless.

[ ....

Um. ]

Is... mail prone to chomping on hands now?

[Thank you for the cushion. He'll take it and use it for the extra comfort. that remark about it chomping people gets a snort. He could imagine it obviously]

I-I wouldn't give myself too much credit. If I was adept at that I'd be at...

[he trails off as if he was about to say something, but then decided against it. He clears his throat]

Y-Yeah, you haven't seen it? I've been handling my packages with thick gardening gloves.
