[Akira gives him a look over, but he doesn't move him. He does stay within reach for whenever Akito was ready to come out, however.]
Have you tried, Akito? And I mean really tried, to actually try and see someone in that way. Ikki's your sky, and there's nothing wrong with that, but don't you think it'd be okay to separate the two? Your sky and a boyfriend-- it doesn't have to be all one and the same, does it? If you could find the distinctions between the two, care about them a lot on two different, separate levels, you could have both a sky that doesn't get you this upset and someone to do all those other smiling, kissing, hand holding things with that you want.
[ Akito keeps quiet, for the most part. He moves his hand down, puts his phone back into his pocket. ]
.. I don't think I want to. I don't-- think I can balance that. But okay, I'll try.
[ Slowly he brings himself up to his feet, giving hisses and whimpers when the skin over his stomach had to stretch back out- but he got it, then moved an arm over to reach for Akira. ]
Good. [A nod, since trying is the least anyone could ask for.]
[He helps Akito out of that box and sets him on the ground, keeping a hold on him just in case-- then thinks better of it and carefully picks him back up to hold him in his arms bridal-style.]
It wont be good if you make your injuries worse. [The reason for it as he started moving back above ground, in case Akito thought to argue.]
[ It's nothing new to him-- being carried like that. Ikki's done it, Kazu's done it-- Kaito's more a throw over his shoulder sort, but. It has to count for something, right? ]
They're not that bad, really! It just-- stings a little. I just didn't expect to wake up, here. --and then there was that thing with the teeth and claws and it was scary.
I don't think it was on purpose? I was-- um.. dragged out, I guess? He can push himself out, but I've never been dragged out like that before? Papa and Ikki would switch Agito and I, but this time it felt much more forced. thisisreallyhardtoexplain. I'm-- I'm not sure, but I think Agito might be sleeping, too. I tried to switch over, but he wouldn't come out. ..aah', I don't know what's going on in my own head anymore.
--sorry, for ruining your shirt.
[ Which was when he reached out with his bloodied hands, gripped onto Akira's shirt lightly, and pressed against him. ]
[Stranger and stranger! He makes a mental note to ask Lind about it later, if he comes out again soon. His eyes glance down at him for a second when he says that, and if it hadn't been for the fact that he was currently carrying him, he'd have given Akito a light shove for saying that.]
[Who knows what kind of punishment he'd have received if he'd acted worse.]
[Once they were up to Akira's floor and inside his place, he took Akito straight to the bathroom, setting him down to sit on the counter next to the sink before Akira fetched a small cloth.]
You said no to the candy idea, but still want that bubble bath?
Mm', I smell. It probably wouldn't be a good idea to go without one.
[ Blood everywhere, a bit of dirt here and there-- no, not something he wanted to keep on him. His hands moved down onto his lap, when Akira set him down. ]
I'm not hungry, but thank you for offering. We can watch a movie affer I'm done, though.
[ Gingerly, Akito grabbed onto the edges of his shirt, holding onto it with his fingers tucked into the seam--and lifted it up, over his head. He winced when the fabric pulled away, causing the dried blood to peel away from skin- but it wasn't as bad ss it seemed without the cloth, though. Claw marks going across his chest, just four, and spread wide apart. ]
[His stare lingers at Akito's hand over the scar for a moment, but he quickly catches himself staring and a sheepish look takes over his features. Oops, right, baths and things.]
Yell if you need anything, alright? [That said, he moves to shut the door.]

Mm, still. I'll keep a better eye out on Lind next time, it's weird he'd just suddenly leave you somewhere so dangerous.

It's just a shirt, it's fine.

[He held him closer, even if they were now pulling up to Akira's apartment.]

.. I'm sorry for kicking you out earlier, too. I was going to come get you sooner, but Papa--

Akito.

[ Just-- looking over, curiously. ]

[Hands him the now wet cloth, wiping any residual water on his shirt since it had gotten dirty already anyway.]
Want me to make you something to eat?

.. See? It's not that bad!

[He takes Akito's shirt to go throw it away on his way out.]
Alright. You take a bath, I'll go get you another eyepatch and set up a movie you like.

But I guess-- I got this before, so.
