Oh no, no! I was just wondering since uh...Minato told me about you, and what happened in June since I was worried why you were leaving during the Moons...
[At worse, it would be a bad reaction and he could take it.]
[It'd be easy to throw Ryo under the bus and blame him for all this, but Akira doesn't, even if it might be the truth. He shakes his head and leans against the doorframe, his mouth a thin line.]
Ryo's not like me. As far as I know, I'm the only Devilman from my world. ... Unless you count Tako.
[Somehow that eases the tension quite considerably considering that the situation and he smiles.]
Oh! I noticed a while ago. I gave him a really big piece of meat and he opened his mouth way too large for a normal cat! And his tongue is green too..I thought he was sick at first!
[Instead of getting dressed to head out, though, Akira steps past him and... takes his shirt off? He heads over to the balcony of the apartment and slides open the door.]
I will be fine, but maybe I should change to something else so others don't recognize me. Why are you taking your shirt off? Do you need to remove it to change?
Good idea. [To the question, he steps back from the balcony doors to give himself a little room. Then, black bat-like wings suddenly sprout from his back.]
It's different than the moonblessings! These are from your world.
[He'll be done, eventually...a little more...okay now he's done.]
I guess I should turn into something too, cause people might figure out its me!
[The shift is not very exciting, truthfully. First it's Ryoji there, then there's a creature over twice his size that looks, well, exactly like Thanatos. When he speaks the voice sounds otherworldly.]
After this (https://prismatica.dreamwidth.org/231395.html?thread=36450531#cmt36450531)
Ryo is not mad at you, is he?
no subject
Nah, we've argued about way worse stuff than this. He just doesn't like it when I talk about that stuff, to him or anyone else.
no subject
Was he always like this since you knew him?
no subject
Why the questions, anyway? Did he say something to worry you?
no subject
Oh no, no! I was just wondering since uh...Minato told me about you, and what happened in June since I was worried why you were leaving during the Moons...

[Surprise?]

no subject
Yeah, that sounds like something he'd do. He's a good cat who won't hurt anyone, though, so don't worry.
no subject
[He says, a little too excitedly before realizing.]
Oh right um...there's something else too...
no subject
What is it?
no subject
I'm not really...human either.
no subject
It's okay. Minato already talked about it. He said that if anything went wrong and I lost control again, you'd be someone who could stop me.
no subject
EHHH?!? HE TOLD YOU?
[Well he did tell him about Akira so why did he think it was only one sided?]
You mean I've been trying to make sure you don't see me doing anything that's not humanlike and you knew the entire time??
[Yes this is. The important part. He could have been cleaning much more efficiently OPENLY!]
no subject
[He blinks, startled. Really, though, they've been in the same boat, given Akira had to try and hide what he was for a long time too.]
I've known from a couple of months, anyway. Not the entire time.
no subject
[Maybe he just thought that he could take it? He can't judge Minato, not after the whole boyfriend thing...it's hard tho.]
Soooo... should I show you?
[Then they can talk about Ryo again later.]
no subject
I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
[Yes, that's exactly what it sounds like.]
no subject
Okay, but I have more than one. Uh..I don't think it will fit in the apartment either...
no subject
We should go somewhere private outside, then.
no subject
[That's an entire place away and he can't do that with anyone else so...]
Maybe the tallest rooftop we can find?
no subject
[Instead of getting dressed to head out, though, Akira steps past him and... takes his shirt off? He heads over to the balcony of the apartment and slides open the door.]
We can go this way. Need a ride?
no subject
I will be fine, but maybe I should change to something else so others don't recognize me. Why are you taking your shirt off? Do you need to remove it to change?
[Asks it like it is.]
no subject
This is why.
no subject
[He's gonna...poke them. Yes, this is important. Yes this is what he's fixated on. It's always neat to see other non-humans!]
no subject
[He'll stand there and let Ryoji poke and prod until his curiosity is satisfied, though, holding his wings still so he can get a good look.]
no subject
[He'll be done, eventually...a little more...okay now he's done.]
I guess I should turn into something too, cause people might figure out its me!
