[Once again, Ren is probably the only reason that Iwaizumi is still engaging in this conversation, especially considering that every time Akechi speaks his ball-kicking foot starts to twitch. Who the hell does this guy think he is, anyway?]

I’m gonna ask you one more time to drop it before I excuse myself. It’s like I said. I ain’t in the business of playing nice with self-righteous assholes who think they can start a fight and then walk away.

[And that’s that. He directs his attention at Ren now - thank God for this change in topic.]

I’ve got a few things. [Somewhere to sleep, somewhere to sit, somewhere to eat.] I don’t need much.

You two live together then? [Fantastic news for Ren and Iwa’s blossoming friendship, surely.]

[simulatio]

[Do it. Try to kick him. He deserves it, but also it would make Akechi's day to get into a brawl that he can claim he didn't start.

But he just holds up his hands placatingly as if to prove that look, see? He means no harm. Ren would frown if he started a fight in Heavenly Blanc, and he's already certain that Ren is going to chew him out when they get home anyway. No need to add more fuel to that particular fire.]

As I said, we're quite close. How exactly would you describe the relationship we shared back in Tokyo, Ren?

[There's the barest ghost of a warning in his tone as he turns his smile on Ren. Best not to admit outright that they're dating, considering Iwaizumi doesn't like him. No need for him to have a negative impression of Ren, too.]

[forethinking]

(Ren would murder Akechi, that's what he'd do. No brawls in his almost Tokyo home, one can be sure... But he definitely is in the right path, thinking he's in trouble afterwards, at home. He is.

At Iwai, Ren nods. Now their room started looking like an apartment, because prior to that, it just the (absurd amount of) flowers, a bed, a desk and that was about it. Ren had only scavanged for cooking utensils up to very recently, now they even have furniture and the like.)

I can go with you if anything. (Because, believe it or not, Ren is actually pretty strong, even if he doesn't look like it. There were two questions directed at him, one after the other, and Ren pauses a little to address Iwai first. Brain small.) We do.

(And to Akechi, he's not very sure what to say without spooking Iwai about their history or well, about the fact they're together?. "We played billiards, it was very straight"? That can't be it. Best be honest, after all.)

Rivalry.

[Then this guy is yet another Void-dweller from Ren’s home too. Iwa can accept rivals as a valid starting point for what he’s assuming is some sort of friendship - anything beyond that would be none of his business anyway, so he makes no assumptions. As much as he might not like this Akechi guy (based solely on this shitty first impression, mind you), he won’t sneeze at the fact that Ren has someone from home here, and honestly, it’s hard not to be a little jealous. He doesn’t mean to sound so bitter when he says:]

Must be nice to have him around then. [He realizes how shitty that might have sounded as he clears his throat, raps his knuckles awkwardly on the table. He turns his attention back to Ren.] I’ve got all I need back at my place. But thanks. I appreciate it.

[With that, he takes to picking at the curry in front of him without quite taking a bite. How did this get so awkward all of a sudden?]
