[RYO MADE A CHOICE!! Akira grins about it. He pours a little more of the broth into Ryo's bowl.]

Be careful, it's hot.

[Eating soup in hell when the ocean outside is made of lava.

He carries both bowls off so they can sit down.]

What do you want to drink?

[He's really forcing Ryo to eat even as a Biblical unhungry angel.]

[preordain]

[ what the fuck do you even drink with soup

he takes a moment to think about it. ]

... water?

[tearduct]

[STOP. The sodium...]

Okay. Come on.

[He puts the bowls down and tries not to trip over JD who has scurried after him, mewling eagerly.

He will get them some drink... and also some spoons, too. He's gonna have to sneakily buy some soda to put in the fridge later...]

[preordain]

[ akira your sugars

AKIRA IS SO MALEWIFE he was pretty malewife during their original stay in hell since he was forced into the role, but it is more evident now that they are actually living together. ]

You really are self-efficient.

[tearduct]

[Ryo is just a weird little alien, so now he has to become a malewife for some reason. This is character development for him. Also, his... now ex....???? was spoiled.

He does not want to bring THAT up, though.]

I got tired of having everything done for me. I felt useless.

[His exaggerated demonic masculinity... fragile. So now he's... got house husband traits??? It's fine.

He brings water and spoons back to the table for him and Ryo. Puts the spoon in Ryo's bowl. JD is LOOKING at them.]

[preordain]

[ hmm. he reaches over to scratch akira's head, like a dog. good boy.

but he will then go to give this damn cat food. fine!!!!!! ]

Hm, some people are into that.

[tearduct]

[He makes a playful grimace face and his head bows over as he gets the scritch. Unfortunately, he tries to reflexively chase it when it leaves.

DAMMIT, THE HEAD CURSE. HE'S WEAK!!!!]

It was different, but it felt weird after... I don't know, living with Miki and her family.

[Being, like, middle class, then suddenly he is this pet for the elite. Cause he was poor. HELP HIM.

He makes a tss tss to get JD's attention and sneak the cat a piece of chicken as Ryo goes to food him. So it's funny the cat is not there yet when Ryo does.

Akira pretends to be innocent and stirring his food.]

[preordain]

[ HE SQUINTS SUSPCIOUSLY

and will give jd his food, still suspicious. once jd goes to nom on his actual food after his ILLEGAL treat, ryo will join akira at the table. still suspicious. ]

Well, they were pretty normal, so it was a big jump.

[tearduct]

[DON'T LOOK AT HIM THIS WAY, HE HAS DONE NOTHING...... except spoil JD and disrupt his eating habits. It's fine.

He still pretends like he hasn't done anything, but it's in the way of him trying too hard, so it's just suspicious. He shoves some soup into his mouth after blowing on it.]

I had time to learn stuff, too, like I said... so... why not learn how to cook a few things? [............] Do you like it?

[preordain]

[ he eats a spoonful of soup... eats some noodle that's in it.

and then slowly nods his head. ]

It's fine. Maybe you should work at a restaurant.

[ get a job ]

[tearduct]

[WHATEVER EXCITED AND PRAISED EXPRESSION (🥹) HE HAS IMMEDIATELY DEFLATES.]

...Eh?!

[WORK? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.]

[preordain]

[ FUCKING HELP

ryo eats more soup innocently. ]

What? Isn't that what people do when they're good at this?

[tearduct]

[He really is sitting here with the spoon halfway up to his open mouth. RYO IS MAKING HIM GO OUT TO WORK... HELLO? HIS HOUSE HUSBAND DUTIES....... This is heteronormative behavior being forced onto him!!!! (no)]

I mean--I guess? I don't know if I want to work in the food industry in Hell, Ryo... It was bad enough on Earth...

[preordain]

Hm, is that so?

[ ryo was 17 with a phd and rich as hell, he cannot relate to the common service worker.

he eats more soup. ]

Guess that's out...

[tearduct]

[Ryo is so annoying.

Akira very slowly and dejectedly eats more soup.]

I could just stay here and take care of the house...?

[preordain]

[ help. akira doesn't want to work so bad.

ryo wants him to wake up before 3pm!!!!! the struggle. ]

Like a housewife?

[tearduct]

[LET HIM BE A FREE-LOADER IN HELL!!!! He makes a bit of a face.]

You don't have to say it like that.......

[Like a housewife.

Maybe he will go out and get... a... modeling job again or something. Would Ryo be jealous if he was a model?]

[preordain]

It is an accurate description.

[ like!! it is!!

he stirs the soup a bit. ]

Well, what do you like to do.

[tearduct]

[IT WAS.

He falters momentarily, unsure of how to answer without thinking about it. A lot of a normal world not quite like the end of theirs has since colored him differently. An immortal life frozen as a teenager has both given him the opportunity of time to do things while also restricting him from a lot.]

I... Designing clothes wasn't bad. Modeling was okay even if the industry was kind of weird. [Artists are weirdos, and the physical guidelines of modeling were even weirder. He got into so many fights for girls' sakes!!!] Someone... taught me martial arts?

[Honey and Mori, but he will not bring this up... Of course he'd be a stupid jock.]

It was really fun. [He opens his mouth to say something about dinghy sailing being fun too, but then thinks about how he acted here during the boat shit and closes his mouth.] I like... stuff that keeps me active.

[preordain]

[ he really is a jock... ryo isn't annoyed about the martial arts thing since it was obviously not the twins, they are even bigger twinks than ryo is

modeling is trickier since that obviously has a direct connection to them. ryo pretends to be normal. ]

You can maybe join a sports team.

[tearduct]

[Damn, Ryo really would throw him out if he became a model... All of his job opportunities are being stomped under Ryo's yandere foot.]

Sports...?

[He's a Blue Lock now.]

What, like... I should run track again, or something?

[preordain]

Not necessarily track.

[ he eats soup. ]

Maybe you can try wrestling.

[ he doesn't actually mean this ]

[tearduct]

What's wrong with track...?

[Like their whole everything didn't involve track trauma or something before hell happened. And, uh, the end of the world. Anyway. He's stupid.]

Wrestling... You want me grappling other dudes in tight spandex?

[preordain]

[ HE WOULD ANSWER THE TRACK THING BUT

HELLO ]

Why did you have to say it like that.

[tearduct]

[????????????????????]

But... that's what... you do in wrestling?
