[Akira is right to fear he'll spit back at him for his honesty. His honesty terrifies him, it makes no sense to him. There has to be a catch, there has to be something for him to be getting out of this. And in anticipation of that unknown, he's terrified of allowing Akira any closer to what he wants. If he wants Akechi, his time and his attention, when he gets it, he'll want whatever it is he expects from him for it. Nothing in the world came free, came without consequence.]
