// I'm still logged in, so I will see notifs if they come in, but otherwise, I pretty much am inactive here now save for a few threads.
Thanks to everyone who's written with me; it means a lot and has been very fun โบ๏ธ Brain focuses just change something, ya know how it is.
// ~Small PSA~
I'm still here, in a sense. Truthfully I've been so busy with other things that I don't really check Twitter as much anymore. So as things are, I don't think I'll be starting any new threads here any time soon.

@jingweonsheir "Call me Suzaki."
(Mr. Blue Roses here was pretty apt in his guesses too, it seemed.)
"Who knows, maybe you have seen me at the bars around here."
@jingweonsheir That was only because, really, the woman had looked so shy she might've cried if Suzaki had said no, AND because, as previously stated, this guy *was* pretty good looking.)
"Oh." Suzaki blinked again, then, once recovered, returned that charismatic grin with one of his own. +
"They already think badly of you, so just make it worse. Maybe then they'll leave you alone. After all, you seem like the kind of guy that's too lax sometimes. Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you want to be rude for once?"
"You're a loan shark, man! Heheโ*of course* dudes are going to fight you on the street."
Akiyama could try explaining the differences between money lenders and loan sharks if he wanted, but it was probably obvious by now that Suzaki wouldn't really. Retain it.

โ โ โ โ โ โ โโ I couldn't agree more, โ he responded in kind, chuckling at the thought. Here Akiyama was richer than he'd ever been, and yet, the idea of drinks he didn't have to pay for remained as appealingโ>
โ
He's smart; he just doesn't care about small details like that.
The idea of Akiyama being a jerk to random thugs had clearly grabbed his interest, though. There he was, again leaned forward, a finger held up as if illustrating an absolutely *excellent* idea.

@KANSAISDRAGON "Talking from experience?" He eyed the other man's arms. "Is that how you get huge biceps? By losing and then beating people up harder next time?"
He grinned a little, to show it was a joke.
Kind of.
@KANSAISDRAGON The stranger's comments and tone weren't exactly what one would think of as standard comforting...but that's exactly why they relaxed Suzaki further. If someone had tried to honestly be soft to him right now, he just might've started another fight.
Speaking of which...

He huffed, fingers going for the sensitive spot between Kengo's shoulder and neck once more.
His stance wavered. His hip throbbed.
"Hey--Kengo," he spoke, voice strained from their hold. But...it held promise, too. "Wanna make this interesting?"
Kengo's weight was a force to reckon with. Suzaki gritted his teeth, feet adjusting to ground himself better. So--despite Kengo's tackle, Suzaki held his ground.
Not without a *lot* of sweat though. God, his side still ached a little...
"Heh--" +
Heh--so you think I'm a dangerous bad boy, Kuro-kun?~
[ Looks far too pleased with the idea. ]
Why? Is it because you know I could take you down at any moment I feel like it?
Then, he was flying.
"Ugh!"
The air left him now, hip aching as he hit the floor. But despite the pain and sudden change, instincts and adrenaline had him moving again only seconds later.
Watch out, Kengo. There was a boot coming directly at his ankle.
A taunt built on the tip of his tongue, but it's pulled away the moment arms wrap around him. Suzaki grunted, cursing as his hands slipped over Kengo's back. One found the back of his neck, curling, readying to put pressure there that'd force Kengo to let him go.
