Don't you fucking tell me-- [He begins with his vitriol but he's hauled up. However, instead of using the moment to launch another attack he wraps his arms around Akira's back, nails digging into his sides as much as the fabric of his shirt allows.
And well.. RIP to Akira's ears and to all those who might be near because Akechi just screams. Letting out that pent up aggression, hate and frustration out. All that he's been holding in ever since arriving here, without having a way to let them out. He keeps going until his lungs burn and his voice dies out, the tension slowly fading away from his body, leaving him light and gasping for the air.
A moment. And another. Then allows his hold loosen, but not yet letting go.]
[Bitchy Wife why must you be so unbelievably insane at all times?]
[Akira winces at the way Akechi just grabs him, and then goes very still when Akechi starts screaming, letting his hands come to rest at the base of his neck, instead. After a while once he falls silent, he smudges his thumbs against his skin in something he hopes is a comforting gesture.]
[He's here to make sure you won't have a boring moment in your life.]
You are. [He mutters against Akira's shoulder, voice raw and and quiet. Another moment passes. Akechi takes deep breath and taps other's back lightly.]
[A frown appears to his face and he's about to lecture Akira being so damn clingy but then it registers that it's actually him who keeps holding on the other. Lips drawn slightly back he pushes himself away from their embrace. His cheeks are flushed red from all the screaming, but outside of that it's like all the color has been drained from his face.]
Of course. [An ugly croak. Yeah, he's looking at Akira like the last few minutes didn't just happen.]
All right. You..., That's fine, you know? You can yell on me whenever. Just-- maybe don't. Do the smashing your head into things part? Whether it's my head or the ground. [He reaches out again, carefully smoothing down Akechi's hair.]
I don't plan on getting a concussion if that's what you're-- Don't.
[He grunts and moves his head to the side. Now that all the adrenaline and tension is gone the pain from his injuries and ache from their brawl settles back in. Akira's touch doesn't hurt but it's uncomfortable enough to make him grimace a little]
Tch. [Akechi clicks his tongue and rolls his eyes at him.]
Nothing so dramatic. The person I fought stole my gun and broke finger. [He raises his hand showing him the swollen finger in the makeshift cast. It's already gained darker color around the broken knuckle.] Another guy showed up and grabbed my neck. That's where the marks are from.
Somebody just. Grabbed your neck and broke your finger, and this is just completely fine to you? Jeez. [He reaches out for his hand.] ...can. Will you let me look at this?
Fine? Of course no-- [His voice breaks just as he's about to raise it. His face twists in annoyance but he does offer his hand to him. Reluctantly, mind you.]
[Akira takes his hand carefully and gives him a smile, not touching the broken finger but looking at it.]
...so you're telling me somebody broke your finger and put welts on your neck in the shape of hands, but this is completely fine. You can't tell me you don't know what this looks like.
[He glowers, shaking his head with a roll of his eyes. Just to be a prick, he gently presses Akechi's broken finger between his own thumb and forefinger before leaving his hand flat for Akechi's to rest on or be removed.]
