[Yosuke is still not entirely sure about this after the last attempt. Yeah, he ended up with some curry for Souji, but it was after a complete disaster.
Still..... It's a good distraction from the fact he has a roommate (WHO IS A GIRL) now and he no longer has any privacy. So maybe this is the right thing. And getting to make chocolate can't be that difficult, right?]
[But, like, let him just go rummage through the available ingredients real quick, just to be certain.
It doesn't take long for Akechi to emerge victorious with a few bars of chocolate and a jug of cream, laying out a few extras - nuts and dried fruits and salt - that might be added in later.]
Here. [He'll just shove one of the bars of chocolate over the counter towards Yosuke.] Chopping the chocolate is the most time consuming part. After we finish this step, it should be simple enough.
[And Akechi will just get started in on his own, unsurprisingly handy with a knife.]
The two of you are together, aren't you? Officially, I mean.
[Why even ask? Otherwise they wouldn't be doing this. Yosuke watches him with the knife for a moment before starting to take up the work himself on his own chunk of chocolate.]
[Akechi doesn't shy away from meeting that look with a scowl of his own.]
I was only curious, you hadn't stated as much before and I hardly care to keep up with all of the relationships that happen in this place. I try to not make too many assumptions in this place.
[It can get dangerous if you do.]
Does he despise that you've spent time with me considering the fact I killed you before?
[It's an irritating enough answer - why does this boy speak with so much uncertainty about everything? - but if Yosuke is hardly bothered, there's no reason for Akechi to care either.]
[He's learned the hard way not to be certain of anything. New information can appear at any time - like a killer's motives changing, or your boyfriend saying he'd rather you be happy than date him if it came down to it! So best not to think too hard on it.]
Uh huh. What about you and Ren? You've been together a while, right?
[Funny, isn’t it? How the other boy’s words give Akechi a brief moment of pause, his brow pinching at the realization of just how long it’s been. Not only his time with Ren, but his time here in Faerie as well.
How has a year passed by so quickly?]
More or less. [Helpful, Akechi.] I was resistant for quite some time beforehand, but Amamiya surpasses even my own stubbornness. I’ve never met anyone so persistent about anything.
[Smart, Hanamura. Wouldn't want to be on the bad end of Akechi's sword again if he caught sight of that grin.]
Rarely, but sometimes. It's certain a sign of dedication. I imagine most would have given up on me well over a year ago. But Ren is just too stupid to know better. [(Affectionate)]
There, that should be enough. We simply need to heat the chocolate and then let it cool in these molds. Should be simple after the mess we made last time.

Right? Even we can't screw this up too bad.
...Do they have chocolate and cream?

Date: 2026-03-14 08:23 am (UTC)No, that's- totally fair.
Um. He hasn't really talked about it? [Shit he probably should talk to him about it.] So for now it's probably fine.

Date: 2026-04-25 04:11 am (UTC)Yes, that is true. If he wasn't so stubborn in chasing me, I wouldn't be involved with either him or his team. I'd be fighting this battle on my own.

Date: 2026-04-25 04:56 am (UTC)He turns to focus on what he's doing so Akechi doesn't see his smug little grin. Too bad he's out of chocolate to chop up.]
So stubborn's good sometimes.

no subject
Date: 2026-05-06 04:25 am (UTC)Something like that. It's called tempering the chocolate, I believe. We just have to ensure the bowl we're using is heat-resistant.
