[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

https://t.co/Gwima4GpTf it’s the audacity of this app to steal my kagami away from me . i’m barely here , whAT DAMAGE CAN I POSSIBLY DO .

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀
( he can practically sense akashi’s mirth , ﹠̲ he huffs out a complaint into the soft material , but his discontentment only last a moment before he’s loose — limbed . )

it’s more fun to watch you figure it out , akashi — kun .
⠀ ⠀ ⠀

[۟ @crimsonrulings]

( regardless of any of that, without a doubt, the one acting most catlike is certainly kuroko. the thought continues to amuse him as he keeps petting him. )

all you have to do is ask, you know.

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀
( akashi has this grace to him , with a sharpness in his eyes , that is unmistakably feline . he , on the other hand , is embodying the moments of a cat leading to a nap . )

i’m going to steal some , ( it’s an unrepentant warning . )
⠀ ⠀ ⠀

[۟ @crimsonrulings]

( honestly, people seem to like to compare him to a cat, but the real catlike one must be kuroko. he releases a soft huff of air, shifting to a comfortable position. they'll be here for a while. )

i'm glad you like it.

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀
( he’ll be sure to look indignant later , but for now , ﹠̲ rarely , he’s unguarded ——— relaxed . frame twists , cheek aligning to the curve of his shoulder , rubbing skin against fabric . ) soft .

( akashi’s clothes are always soft , like his touch . )
⠀ ⠀ ⠀

[۟ @crimsonrulings]

( that's good enough. he doesn't need his own phone, so he lets kuroko do as he pleases. but, now that his eyes are closed, he moves with a pickpocket's fingers to slide kuroko's phone back into its pocket undetected, continuing to pet him all the while. )

of course.

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

⠀ ⠀
( he tips his head into the touch , eyelashes fluttering as he takes a calming breath that he doesn’t really need but is grateful for anyway . )

thank you .

( eyes still closed , he secures a grip on akashi’s own phone , ﹠̲ he places it on the coffee table . )
⠀ ⠀

[۟ @crimsonrulings]

of course, of course.

( his free hand comes up to pat him on the head, expression softening. )

there, there. it's alright now.

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀
( he seeks harbour in his delusion , ﹠̲ he shifts to curl up at akashi’s side , chin resting against his arm as he watches him carefully . )

oh yes , ( he replies blandly , ) can’t you tell that i’m terrified .
⠀ ⠀ ⠀

[۟ @crimsonrulings]

( he manages to catch it again, but this time below the arm of the couch, out of kuroko's sight—and he chuckles, not necessarily a kind one. )

hmm, are you quite sure about that?

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀
no , no , that’s a mouse .

( palms rest on akashi’s shoulders , shoving him down on to the couch ﹠̲ promptly clambering all over him , ) save me , ( as monotone before as a elbow ‘accidentally’ knocks the phone away . )
⠀ ⠀ ⠀

[۟ @crimsonrulings]

( catching the phone—and there is the familiar glimmer of the emperor eye, smile remaining very stubbornly in place. )

would you look at that? it doesn't seem to be a mouse, or any vermin, at all. isn't that wonderful?

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀
( he follows , dragging his feet , staring at the phone like it has personally wronged him . )

ahh , ( a monotone scream , plucking the phone from him ﹠̲ throwing it once more , ) i’m so scared of mice .
⠀ ⠀ ⠀

[۟ @crimsonrulings]

^^

( neither slow nor swift, he very deliberately moves to pick up the phone displaying his own name as the caller id… )

well, now. would you look at that.

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀
( his head peeks past akashi’s shoulder to peer around the room , studiously avoiding the couch . pulling back , he blinks , a puppy — like tilt to his head . )

i think you have mice , akashi — kun .
⠀ ⠀ ⠀

[۟ @crimsonrulings]

oh, my…

( subtly punching in numbers on his own phone, smile only widening when a vibrating sound comes from the other side of the room. )

well, now, i wonder what that could be?

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀
( weighing his choices , icy blue skimming over akashi’s face . )

both , ( is his ultimate decision , his mother raised one heck of a gambler . )
⠀ ⠀ ⠀

[۟ @crimsonrulings]

no? it's such a shame. i know, after all, that momoi called not long ago. ^^ or do you mean to say that you don't have a banking app? ^^

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀
( tongue pressing to the roof of his mouth in a click , click , click along with the shake of his head once more . )

would you believe , ( side stepping akashi to throw his phone across the room , returning to his place before him , ) that i don’t have one …
⠀ ⠀

[۟ @crimsonrulings]

( his expression doesn't waver. he's having fun. )

oh, there's no need for anything complicated. have you tried mobile banking? it'll take less than a minute. ^^

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀
( head tilting , considering . )

alas , i am otherwise engaged on friday , akashi — kun .

( a sorrowful shake of his head , ) how about a wednesday in june .ᐣ
⠀ ⠀ ⠀

[۟ @crimsonrulings]

( nodding sagely…yes, he understands. completely. of course he does. )

that's quite alright. you can pay me back on friday. ^^

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀
( finger ﹠̲ thumb almost connect … )

about four milkshakes worth .

( times by a million . )
⠀ ⠀ ⠀

[۟ @crimsonrulings]

( raising an eyebrow… )

only a little, you say?

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀
( he nods , very serious , face like stone . )

for the best really , akashi — kun , i think i may have come up a little short .
⠀ ⠀ ⠀

[۟ @crimsonrulings]

( unimpressed look, tempered by the smile that threatens to show. )

i was going to do that regardless.

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀
( innocently blinking . )

you can pay .

( said graciously ——— like the saint he is . )
⠀ ⠀ ⠀

[۟ @crimsonrulings]

perhaps we will.

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

https://t.co/Gwima4GpTf i am a relic of days past , a fleeting ghost in the turbulent seas of time , a weak construct of a human with the defences of a blade of grass against the plethora of illnesses that sweep my city .

tldr ; i’m shit at activity but miss this place .

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀
let’s sue , akashi — kun .
⠀ ⠀ ⠀

[۟ @crimsonrulings]

same.

[the phantom .ᐟ @scintillaic]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀
existence is a concept .

i am an unwilling party .
