[ This is much more familiar and easy to navigate. ]

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to take medication and drink. [ But given that it was more like a magic potion and that Akira is, well, Akira, it's probably no surprise that there isn't much conviction behind it beyond the teasing. ]

[grakraka]

[He snorts and grins over his cup.]

If everyone who should not drink abstained, there would be very few drinkers at all.

[scaling]

[ That gets a soft laugh, some of his tension melting away as they fall into banter. ]

Ah, it's not even the full moon I have to worry about. It's Goro Akechi coming into my house and being a bad influence.

[grakraka]

[It shouldn't be so funny but he gives a short laugh as he shakes his head.] Ah, hey. I'm a model student. You can't call me a bad influence. If it's my suggestion, it must be a good one.

[scaling]

I see, excuse me. You're only peer pressuring me into drinking for my own good. [ Like he wasn't the one to suggest drinking together last time.

Akira hides his grin in his cup as he finishes off the last of his coffee in one long sip. ]

[grakraka]

I'm pressuring you, huh? I just can't help but wonder what you're like when tipsy.

[He drinks slower, not really wanting to stop being around him just yet.]

[scaling]

Hm. I'll let you find out next time.

[ He's not opposed to the idea in general, not at all, but it comes back to the same reason keeping him from sleeping: Akira wants to be in full control of his facilities, just in case something abruptly changes or the medicine begins to wear off. ]

[grakraka]

[That does make sense and truly, he just likes joking about it with him. Though it sounds like they actually will do it in the future. That should be interesting.

Akechi toys with his hair, wrapping a lock around his finger and twirling it.]

Hmm, too bad you don't want a distraction, though, since I did finish that story for you.

[scaling]

[ That gets a look from Akira, just a brief glance, but it's obvious from the quick reflex of it that his interest is piqued. ]

I didn't say I don't want a distraction. You can tell it if it's ready.

[grakraka]

Haha, are you sure? I don't want to waste it now if you don't want to hear it.

[Of course, he has to milk it a little bit. But also, he doesn't know if it will actually be very good. Telling him The Little Prince set the bar impossibly high.]

[scaling]

[ Oh, he knows exactly what Akechi is up to. Fortunately for him, Akira's mood has shifted for the better, and he does appreciate the company. ]

I want to hear it, but I want to get comfortable first.
