[He can guess, but he wants to hear Ren say it clearly with his own words, so he can acknowledge that he's better.
Oh, but this is manipulation, isn't it? He can recognize it, surely as anything, and yet, in this case... he'll allow it, his eyes lighting up at the use of his first name, his own gaze sharpening in return.
Ren really is catlike in all of his easy, effortless motions, and impulsively, Akechi wants to put a stop to it. Keep him from moving around so much, so easily, so effortlessly.
In a heartbeat he lunges from the chair before he can think better of it, intending to win at this game, too. Whatever game they're playing right now, if it's intimidation or flirting, he plans to win.
Of course, plans go haywire because as he stands for the first time since he'd started drinking, the entire room rotates around him. What had started as a planned attack of pinning Ren back to the bed to wipe that smirk off his face becomes a monumental effort of just staggering the few steps to the bed and taking a careful seat beside him.]
