[If it's strange for Ren, it's doubly strange for Akechi. Akechi never had a cat at his side as a constant companion, or, well, anyone. More than once he considers just telling Ren that he'll stay in his own room for now; his shoulder isn't fine, but it's enough that he doesn't need the other boy constantly looking out for him.
But it's also nice, being able to stay with someone like this. Knowing without looking where the other boy is, hearing the sounds of him shifting or breathing. Akechi's seated at the desk with his notebook, gently tapping the end of the pen against his lips as he reviews notes he has memorized by now, jots down small pieces of things he remembers in case it becomes important later.
Maybe someday, the sound of his first name from Ren's lips won't make his heart leap in his chest. As it is, he keeps the weird little emotion from his face as he closes his notebook and glances over.]

What is it?
