[There's a long few minutes, almost ten minutes, where it likely seems that the conversation is over and Yosuke's moved on to do something else.
But.]
You know, you aren't as mean as the energy you give off. You're surprisingly kind. [Not 'nice'. He is pointedly not saying Akechi is 'nice' because that's different.]
[Akechi does move on from the conversation when Yosuke doesn't respond, throwing his Leaf aside and flopping onto his dorm room bed. And by the time the next text comes in, both his and Nancy's little fae kittens are kneading their pinprick claws into his back while Akechi blindly reaches for his device.
The word choice is effective.
'Nice' would have left the older boy sending Yosuke a twenty paragraph essay on why no single part of him was nice. But kind....... Akechi still doesn't think it fits, but perhaps Ren's influence is rubbing off on him. There's no denying he's done plenty of kind things over the last year, been selfless and sometimes even heroic when he's needed to be.
Huh.]
If you're hitting on me, I'd like to remind you that your boyfriend already hates me.
[It's one of those rare goro akechi jokes, not great, but more than he usually allows himself.]
