[ Looks like Akashi's not going to let it go. He might as well answer so he can get back to pointing out how Akashi shouldn't terrorize his friends when he's bored. Or at least not Kise in the middle of the night. ]

No, I haven't. That sounds really bad, you know.

[outplays]

It sounds bad... how so?

[ Why would it, Kise? Why would it. ]

[returnafavor]

Doesn't it totally sound like something the creepy stalker guy from a horror movie would say?

[outplays]

You know I'm not stalking you, Ryouta. [ Just embarrassing you with sex toys. ]

... But I haven't watched many horror movies, so I suppose I wouldn't know.

[returnafavor]

When we get home, I'll show you, then! I'm pretty sure there was one where the bad guy said something just like that before he ripped out a throat.

[ He's just. Not going to comment on the stalking thing. Does keeping tabs on his old teammates count or not? Kise's not going to go down that path. ]

[outplays]

Is that so? Then I guess I'll try not to say things like that in the future... I wouldn't want anybody getting the [ right ] wrong idea.

[returnafavor]

[ He just gives Akashi a Look. ]

You're thinking of something even worse to say, aren't you?

[outplays]

[ Yes, he is. ]

Aren't you thinking too lowly of me, Ryouta?

[returnafavor]

Nope. [ He grins at Akashi brightly. ] You could try adding a little smirk at the end. They do that a lot in the movies.

[ Kise Ryouta, being helpful, ladies and gents. ]

[outplays]

Hmm... something like this, perhaps?

[ And then Akashi does his trademark "I'm losing control of all my facial muscles" smirk.

Do you regret it now, Kise? Do you? ]

[returnafavor]

[ No regrets here, that is the face that he's going to turn loose on other people. ]

Yeah, that's perfect. [ He glances to the side — at Kasamatsu, sleeping unaware of his impending doom beside him — and leans in close to whisper. ] Make sure you use it when you show Kasamatsu-senpai.

[outplays]

[ Akashi tilts his head like why would I want to show him something like that? but clearly, Kise has something in mind, so he might as well play along. ]

Why, did you want me to show him my new gift too? Or something like that.

[returnafavor]

Well, I figure you've already done something to Kagamicchi.

[outplays]

Either you know me too well or I'm becoming predictable.

[returnafavor]

Aominecchi wasn't the only one I had to study for my Perfect Copy, you know.

[outplays]

I think I might be flattered, Ryouta. Try to not give away too much about me to strangers, though.

[ ... or Kagami. ]

[returnafavor]

[ But if he gave it away, he couldn't laugh at it. ]

Don't worry, I won't as long as you won't.

[outplays]

I appreciate it, Ryouta.

[ The fact that this conversation started with sex toy and has led to "oh, Ryouta, don't tell people my secrets" really says... something... ]

The toy is open knowledge among the people you'd expect at this point, though.

[returnafavor]

[ The bond that connects the Teikou Mean Girls is truly a complicated thing.

Or maybe it's just their love of gossip. ]

Really? That was fast. [ he pauses ] Uh, have you used it yet?

[ It's Akashi. It's a matter of when, not if, he's going to use it. ]

[outplays]

Well... not yet.

[ But Akashi's expression makes it clear: he definitely has Plans, and they're probably terrible plans. ]

But if you're curious, I can probably provide some commentary on the experience before long.

[returnafavor]

I guess that might be good to know... As expected, you're really into this, huh.

[outplays]

[ "As expected"... ]

Might as well make the most of things, right?

[returnafavor]

[ When you're the type to be absolute... ]

I guess. Don't you think that kind of thing's kind of...?

[outplays]

Kind of... what, exactly?

[returnafavor]

Nothing, really. It just seems kind of pervy.
