[Day 7, daytime: Ichigo]
[Akira makes the rounds. he's quiet, but he holds his head as high as he can, keeps his exhaustion off of his features while he serves Dazai his daily glass of port wine, makes hot cocoa for Ichigo, tries to comfort dragon Corrin outside of Niles's room, pays respects to Niles's shrine, and converses with Will. he snaps a few times, loses grasp of his tightly controlled anger as it breaks through the surface and rears its head for a select few. but every time, he pulls it back again. reminds himself that anger is a double-edged sword, and he shouldn't wield it so recklessly as to hurt the people who don't deserve it]
[at least, until he's alone]
[Akira isn't a violent person. it may be the former assault on his record, but he doesn't like lashing out with reckless punches or kicks. but while meandering through what he believes to be an empty hallway near the dormitory wing as he heads back to his room. . . he suddenly stops. tilts his head back, eyes shut tight, brows furrowed]
[and then he moves to slam his fist against the wall. hard]
Shit--
[he hisses that word under his breath, mostly to himself. because as far as he's concerned? he's alone here. and if he's alone, then he can maybe let the weight of what just happened bear down on him a little more than he would have otherwise]

C'mon, get off. You're heavy, you know?
1/2
[. . .]
[just. stares right down at him, totally frozen in place, for like. a good five seconds. because holy shit? holy shit]
[Akira's suddenly extremely, acutely aware of the feel of his fingers curled around Ichigo's wrist]
no subject
[it's fine? it's fine. it was just a single moment. and honestly, after the past few days? they probably needed that]
Hey. I'm a growing boy.
no subject
Sure, whatever you say...Hey, Akira.
[He turns over on to his side, that grin of his shifting to a gentle, tired smile.]
'Ve got enough room here, why don't we just...I don't know, share the bed? I really don't want you to sleep on the floor after not sleeping for two days.
no subject
Fiiiiine, fine. I'm convinced.
[a beat, and a grin]
I just hope your bed isn't the jealous type.
no subject
that comment, though, nets Akira one finger flick, Ichigo scowling in annoyance.]
Only if you're planning on sleeping here for the next few days.
[....
WAIT]
Shit, no, I meant - aaaagh, just forget I said that, I'm too tired to think!
no subject
[swats at Ichigo's hand!! before he stifles another yawn, and pillows his arms under his head]
I'm too tired to pick on you too much, anyway. [heh] Consider this a small showing of mercy.
no subject
I'll have to write that down. 'Today, Kurusu Akira didn't make fun of me when I stuck my foot in my mouth.'
[He collects the fallen pillows before really settling in, giving one to Akira before resting his head on his own, covering his own mouth as he yawns.]
Mmm...
[...]
...Good night, Akira. ...Thanks.
[For being there with him, for comforting him...for everything.
His eyes close, and he quickly drifts off to sleep, at the closest thing to peace he's had since he found here.]
no subject
Mmm. . . don't mention it.
[that's his mumbled response to Ichigo's declaration of gratitude. and then, after that?]
[he's out like a light]
