[ 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?

[preordain]

[ help ]

You're not doing it sexually.

[tearduct]

Yeah, but...

[DON'T CALL HIS STUPIDITY OUT, DAMN.]

I just didn't know if you'd... like... be okay with that.

[With him rolling around on the ground with other dudes even if it's not sexually. Listen. He doesn't understand where Ryo's yandereness begins and ends even though it's obvious.]

[preordain]

It's fine as long as it's not a kink thing, isn't it?

[ akira is enough of a jock that ryo knows he is just into doing jock things... listen, ryo was even okay with akira going and banging other people it was just that when it became apparent akira had romantic interest for someone else and then rejected ryo's feelings that he started to lose it. ]

Although now I'm questioning if it's a kink...

[tearduct]

[He suddenly SITS UP SO STRAIGHT.]

Eh?! It's not a kink thing, Ryo! I'm the one who just wanted to stay in your house!

[HE WANTED TO BE A HOUSEWIFE, BUT RYO IS MAKING HIM WORK BECAUSE HE SLEEPS LATE... even though 99% of the time he's up late because he's busy bothering Ryo!]

[preordain]

[ the way ryo brought up wrestling but now he is leaving this conversation thinking akira has a weird wrestling kink that he is scared of ryo finding out about. ]

You're really fine with that? You won't get bored?

[tearduct]

I could just find something to do on the side. I could, like... go running sometimes or something.

[Or annoy the shit out of Ryo while Ryo is trying to do weird professor Teyvat analytical thesis work.]

[preordain]

[ he is still into running.... ok haiji

well. as long as it gets akira out of the house, ryo will accept it. half the problem with ouran world was that akira eventually got trapped inside so ryo does not want a repeat of that. ]

Jock...

[tearduct]

[STOP. He would be friends with Haiji for running...]

Hey... There's nothing wrong with being a jock...

[He doesn't sound offended, just sort of amused.]

Do some push-ups with me.

[preordain]

[ he can't complain too much about akira being a jock because it makes him sexie

ryo raises an eyebrow. ]

Me?
