Minato Arisato | Akira Kurusu | 090
[He's exhausted.
It's been an intense couple of months, and it feels as though the situation will only get worse somehow--worse and worse, and Minato has no idea what to expect. Strega is still out there. The Dark Hour still exists. The Arcana Shadows are gone, but...at what cost?
What was Ikutsuki rambling about, before the end?
Junpei's exhausted and depressed, the entire dorm dark and quiet and respectful of his mourning, and Minato's still shaken too from how close it was--how close he came to losing yet another teammate, and friend.
So he hops on the train. Akira probably won't mind a visit, right...? They get along well enough, and he thinks Akira would probably understand if Minato just needs a day away from the oppressive atmosphere of how much everyone has lost over the past two months.
He pushes open the door to the cafe quietly, but... well, the silence is almost more stifling over here, and his brow furrows a bit, even as he glances at Sojiro behind the counter.
UM...]
Is Akira around...?
[Now would probably be a good time to get interrupted before Sojiro tells this punk he doesn't really know well that Akira's TOTALLY DEAD.
(Minato probably should've texted first.)]

We keep going back and forth about this.
I suppose worrying about other people is just the kind of leaders we are.
no subject
[It explains why they are the leaders, in a way. It just wouldn't work otherwise, would it?]
I think that's okay, though. [And, as sincerely as ever because Minato's Minato:] Thanks for worrying about me, Akira.
[He really does appreciate it, even though they keep playing concern ping-pong.]
no subject
Thanks for worrying about me, too.
[a pause]
We never did play those video games.
no subject
They're feeling a friendship....]
We didn't. We're going a bit out of order, but...wanna do that?
[He's down if Akira is. It sounds nice and peaceful.]
no subject
I only have retro games, but I hope your Power Intuition skills are top notch.
no subject
It seems likely, honestly.
Now...they'll be able to keep on moving forward. Just as they need to, because that's the sort of leaders they are.]
They definitely are [...] not. I've never played before.
[Oh.]
Go easy on me, senpai.
no subject
Are you sure I'm not the one who should be calling you senpai?
[but he deposits the ice pack into Minato's lap and finally moves (although, in doing so, he flinches and sucks in a sharp breath as his leg complains). he slides off the bed and pulls out two chairs in front of the television. one for each of them]
no subject
[Also Akira please???]
...You know, I could have gotten those.
[why are you like this.]
Please sit down.
no subject
[plops into one of the chairs! look, he did as Minato said]
I beat you to it.
[holds a controller out to him with a smile]
no subject
Minato will take that controller though, sitting in the other chair and just vaguely shaking his head at Akira.]
Here, take your ice back.
[Just plopping that right back onto Akira's lap.]
no subject
[also he's like, very good at this game, so sorry if he kicks your butt ten ways from Sunday, Minato]
no subject
He's not terrible at it, especially as he improves and picks it up but.
He still can't compete at all with Akira.
He's not a sore loser, though, so at least he takes those losses relatively peacefully and seems to be content to play so long as Akira's having fun.]
