[ Aki didn't expect Angel to actually help, so he was pleasantly surprised when they eventually attempted. It meant that his trousers would survive getting sticky from his own hands at least, even if it was frustrating listening to his phone vibrate constantly. ]

Careful.

[ Such helpful encouragement there, well done, Aki... Moving the ice cream out of Angel's way as the lent over and ducked their head. The cone was soft now, and cold, sticky cream trickled out slowly against Aki's fingers, drizzling down the back of his hand as he raised it to his mouth, catching the drips before they could fall onto Angel's bowed head. ]

Hmm?

[ Why was Angel sitting back up and just looking? Aki frowned, craning his to glance down at the floor, his phone having vibrated its way under one of the peddles. ]

Really? Too much?

[ Tossing Angel a look of utter disbelief. He stretched out a leg and tried to use to toe of his sneaker to dislodge the phone. All to no avail. Aki didn't have a lot of patience for Devils before he was partnered up with Angel, but as the little brat grew on him, so did his ability to put up with their utter lack of drive. Still, at times like this, even that was wearing thin. ]

You're gonna have to get it. It's probably work. They might expect you to slack, but my neck is on the line here too, Angel.
