[Even if there is absolutely no sincerity to them, right now. He'll try to move closer, reaching out a hand to try and get past Vanitas to grab the handle.]
[Love interest would imply that Vanitas has done anything to woo him
Also the way he easily moves along with it makes Atsushi suspicious, but he still hasn't left yet, which was his goal here. Still, he grabs a bottle of iced green tea to drink along with his meal before closing the door, turning to head back to the table.
He probably shouldn't turn his back on Vanitas, but he's being petty.]
[Atsushi jumps a little in place when Vanitas grabs his belt, fumbling the bottle of iced tea he's grabbed for a few quick moments before finally he loses his grip on it and it falls to the ground with a thunk, rolling away.]
You don't get it. I don't... I don't really have control over my tiger form. It wouldn't just be you in danger, and there's... there's too many people here, all crammed into one house.
[He closes the fridge as Vanitas does that, frowning a little.]
Bad things happen if I let the tiger out, and I won't do that if I can help it.
[Atsushi watches the black smoke appearing in Vanitas' hand, curious. What is that?]
The yard is way too close to the house. There's no way I'm risking it, sorry.
[He says that, but... He looks considering as he accepts the offered bottle.]
...I'll keep that in mind, though. When the full moon comes... hopefully I can just stay indoors, but if something goes wrong I might need someone to stop me.
[Atsushi might have stopped Vanitas from grabbing his chopsticks, but his words make him freeze, an oddly distant look of fear on his face. He knows that, of course. He knows the foundation can probably make him do whatever they like, if they decide to. Hell, he could think of a variety of ways that they could probably manage it, rousing the tiger.
But being reminded of that terrified him.
It made him think of pools of blood, dead bodies torn to pieces, barely recognizable. It made him remember the taste of blood not his own on his tongue. He--
He feels like he's going to throw up.]
....If that happens, you have full permission to do whatever you like to stop me.
[His voice is quiet, almost accepting. He clutches the cool bottle of tea in both hands, focusing on the sensation to calm himself. He's still present at least, so it's something.]

Vanitas is just the super hard stupid level. Actually don't go this route it's bad.
Once his back is turned, Vanitas is just going to grab on to his tail. ]

What's the big idea?!
no subject
You should bring out the Tiger.
no subject
What?!
[As it stands... yeah, he's a little bit pissed. Vanitas wanted him to what?]
Do you even realize what you're asking me?!

I've learned to handle something big.

Trust me, when I say I can handle you. Who do you think handles Nora when he goes all giant dog?
[ The darkness will vanish as he offers the tea over. ]
I wouldn't do it in the house. There's consequences with you mess with a SCP like this.
[ nothing about the others. ]

[Is he already considering contingencies? Yes.]

You know, the foundation might have ways of triggering it, Kitten. I have a feeling I'll be seeing the tiger whether you like it or not.

it's not hard to put together that the tiger has probably done something bad.
he's quiet for a moment or two before he starts heading towards the door. ]
I'll keep that in mind.
[ taking care of others isn't something he can do. so the tiger will have to get comfort in mind. he does pause for a moment. ]
I won't hold back, kitten.
[ So even if he runs amuck, Vanitas will kick his ass? And bye \o/ ]
