[This guy sucks a massive amount.]

I did not.

[He leans in a little closer.]

Still think my life is easy?

[newlugers]

[ the comment has perhaps the opposite effect versus what was intended - he does look shocked for a minute, but it's tinged with relief, or something close to it. ]

... So you're the same as me, then. I thought I was the only one.

[ is it presumptuous to think that this guy killed himself? perhaps - but why else would he shoot himself at all? Despite the very clear animosity in the conversation up until this point, Steve's demeanor shifts, becoming a little more open. ]

You think that wish can bring us back?

[flaweddetective]

Same as you...? What on earth are you talking about?

[Not in a million billion years is he going to admit to being dead and certainly not to make this loser feel better. Not when they started out on the worst foot possible.]

Haha~~~~ I was going to use my wish for something else entirely. Not to bring myself back to life when I'm not dead. Hahaha. You can get shot and live you know.

Are you claiming to be dead?

[newlugers]

[ a scoff. ]

I don't think you'd be acting all tough if you just shot yourself in the foot like an idiot. [ pause. ] But... yeah.

[ saying it feels incredibly bad, unsurprisingly, but Akechi isn't the first person he's told. ]

[flaweddetective]

So you'd have to use your wish to bring yourself back to life. Or you could use it for someone else. Hopefully whoever gets paired with you isn't all hung up on the romance option considering it might not be possible.

[He is going to be an asshole about this. Aya is sorry. Akechi is bastard bastard.]

[newlugers]

Are you kidding? That doesn't matter. It's not like anyone really falls in love on these shows, anyway.

[ he has zero expectations of romance here. Besides, he starts to say, but cuts himself off before the first syllable can leave his mouth -- one, he doesn't really want people to hear him say there's someone else, and two, he definitely doesn't want this guy to hear it. With the way the conversation has gone, that'd just be handing him ammunition. ]

[flaweddetective]

I don't disagree. But have you heard the way people are talking? Some are very serious about it. You're going to break someone's heart by being six feet under.

[Sib, I'm just really sorry.]

I hope it's not Anna-san. She's so very excited to find the man of her dreams.

never be sorry for akechi

[newlugers]

[ the idea that him being dead might hurt someone's feelings irks him; he makes a face. ]

Well, that's not my problem. I'm the one who's dead. [ dourly sipping his capri sun. ] Anna's set on Will, anyway. She'd be disappointed with me even if I was alive.

i will be

[flaweddetective]

I think we'd all be rather disappointed considering what a barrel of sunshine and rainbows you're turning out to be.

[newlugers]

[ at that, he snorts. ]

It's not my job to make people like me! That's not my problem, either.

[ he takes the insult in stride, apparently. ]

[flaweddetective]

Charming.

[This is why no one picks them at the match ceremony.]
