[ Akira doesn't know what to do. He can't think about what Akechi does or doesn't want to be right now, can barely handle what Akechi is right now, so he just --
turns off the part of his brain that's been roiling with anxiety for the past two days. There's something he needs to do, so he'll just turn off his emotions until it's done, as simple as that.
It's one of the things that he shares in common with Akechi, even if neither of them are quite aware of it. ]
Goro, hey. You have to breathe, okay?
[ It's dangerous, using his first name like that, because Akira doesn't want to get used to it, but --
He sits behind him, carefully slotting into place to pull Akechi back against him. He lets Akechi face away, lets him have that little bit of dignity, like he can possibly pretend that he isn't having a breakdown. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.
Akira reaches up, tugs on Akechi's hands just enough to try and relieve the pressure; he spreads his own hand over them. ]
Hey, what's the name of the new Featherman season again?
[ Listen, redirection works really well on Futaba. ]
