This is Akutagawa. If you need me for whatever reason, leave a message. I'll get back to it when I have the time.

[ That lost puppy look is as precious as that change in tone. She runs her thumb over his cheek. ]

Of course she would. She loves you.

[blackbeastcoat]

...It feels... odd to have someone say that to me.

[ He paused, looking down for a small moment. ]

Knowing that someone... actually feels that way about me after the people i've killed.

[ Oops. He hadn't meant to say that out loud but he can't take it back. ]

[chichichi]

[ Her hand moves from his cheek to his chin to tip his head up so that he's looking at her, so she can search his eyes, his expression more directly. ]

Look at me, Akutagawa-san.

[blackbeastcoat]

[ It takes a small moment but his eyes do finally look up at her, a quiet inquiry on his face. ]

...What?

[chichichi]

You deserve to be loved.

[blackbeastcoat]

[ That makes his eyes widen a little as it sinks in; what she'd said. ]

Tch. If you knew the me from before here... you wouldn't say that.

[chichichi]

I don't recall stuttering or putting conditions on that statement. Do I need to repeat myself? Because I will. As many times as I need to, I will.

[blackbeastcoat]

I... don't know. It's... just hard to accept such a statement when you're the first who's ever said it to me in my life.

[ Such a casual admittance but lying served no purpose here. ]

[chichichi]

I'm sure Higuchi-san would more than agree with me and Chuuya and Dazai-sensei wouldn't let you hear the end of it if they knew about this.

[ And her lips split in a grin. ]

Should I call them here?

[blackbeastcoat]

No. You don't need to call them come here.

[ He's at least less sulk-y and maybe possibly blushing a bit. Why did people have to have good points when it came to these matters?! ]

[chichichi]

[ Because Setsura, at least, is right. ]

There's a good boy.

[ She strokes his cheek, beaming at him. ]

But I want to see it sometimes, too. Don't forget, alright?

[blackbeastcoat]

[ Her casual 'good boy' comment is enough to make the color darken on his cheeks, the warmth of which she could probably feel as she stroked one of them. ]

...I'll do my best not to.

[ Akutagawa sighed softly, and for a second he smiled softly. ]

Though... if it's you, I suppose I could put the effort into it if you wished.

[chichichi]

Is that a question? Of course I do.

[ She doesn't miss that warmth or the softness of that smile. It really does look good on him and she caresses his cheek with her thumb softly. ]

Never doubt that.
