[Unable to deny the possibility of getting the athlete 'into trouble', Akiyama simply stares back up at the laughing teen with slight curiosity. The thought of having to be 'discreet' about anything is pretty lame and annoying to Akiyama- but at the mention of "nosy" friends, a moment of clarity crosses the delinquent's features.]

...Now that you mention it... [Akiyama thinks back, recalling the way one particular acquaintance of his has a definite history of flipping the fuck out when it concerns guys hitting on other guys. Even if it was only a joke, odds are Tomomi might get a little weird when he hears about how Akiyama "made out" with some guy at a kissing booth. He'll probably (maybe) get over it eventually, but then again... there was that one time when the punk seriously beat the shit out of that dude who approached him before- and he will even occasionally get all loud and defensive about it to this day.... Hm.]

.....

[Some people make big deals out of little things. Akiyama has no plans of changing his behavior just to suit someone else, but the alternative of having to deal with a Tomomi outburst is just way too much of a bother. So yeah. Akiyama can see Miyuki's point.]

Alright... Texting is fine. [When Miyuki pushes himself up from the bench, Akiyama peers over at him again.] Going back?

What're you gonna tell them? -About how you got the money back from me, I mean.
