Then it's simple, don't die.

He doesn't react to the flit of emotion on Akira. Opting instead to just put both hands on his mug to keep it close to his face. It's warm and much better than what that letter touches on in the first half.
About the end part of it though... ]
It's more fun watching you use your own claws, kitty cat.
[ Giving a drink. ]
I'm not the petting and cuddling type. You'll do better looking else where.
[Akira doesn't try to stop him from withdrawing. He just shrugs at the protest.]
I can pretty much guarantee it's not the first or even the worst mistake I've ever made. Besides, I'd rather make a fun mistake than a boring good choice.
[Also, honestly, considering the number of times Vanitas has kept him from shooting people, he finds it a little hilarious that Vanitas thinks he is the mistake in this relationship.]

Fuckin' mood.
[But Akira will let it pass without more than that. If Vanitas doesn't want to talk about it, that's fine.
He sips at his own coffee with a sigh.]
What a headache. You'd better not get killed, Van. I'll kick your prinny from here to Albuquerque.
no subject
I'm hard to kill.
[ he has all the scars to prove it. ]
Besides, I can't catch any Stars if I'm a prinny. Their flippers are useless.
If you die, I'm hogging all of your coffee beans.
[ All the leblanc beans ]

[Akira gives Vanitas an exaggerated look of betrayal.]
I'm not exactly an easy target, either. Still, how fucking dare? Hashtag betrayal.
no subject
I like challenges.

Tell him he can take care of you himself.

[Akira snorts at the 'advice'. Simple, huh? Not dying has been getting less and less simple every week.
He looks at the letter, eyes sad for a second before it's hidden away behind a teasing smile.]
After all that talk about leashes, you don't want to pet and cuddle me and keep me safe from dogs? I'm crushed.

Either way, Akira laughs a little at Vanitas' words. He puts the letter away and goes back to his own coffee.]
You say that but then you always clip them when I start clawing up your dog.
[The hand that isn't holding coffee moves to absently rub over the burn scar on his face.]
And I might have noticed. It's not like I need that from you to stick around.
no subject
What can I say? I don't like sharing what's mine.
[ So only he claw up the dog unless it's sparring.
He does lift his hand, and there's a pause there, before he touches the scar lightly. ]
Then why do you stick around?
no subject
[It's the very grumpy noise of someone who can't argue a point isn't fair but doesn't have to like it.
Akira doesn't flinch away from the touch. The scar is faintly rough under Vanitas' fingers. Your dog is pretty bitey, Van.]
Told you, I like you. You see a lot of things the same way I do and that's not easy to find.
no subject
[ Oh he knows. Vanitas was on Nora Containment for the Foundation.
Withdrawing his hand pretty quickly. It's still weird to hear people say they like him. ]
I still think that's a mistake.

Just more you.
[ He could elaborate, but he'll wait for Akira to ask. ]
You'll just have to wait and see what kind this is.
[ It could still be a mistake. ]
no subject
More me how?
[He snorts at the rest. Van. Come on.]
I'm good at waiting but also it's been anything but boring so far.
no subject
[ Since Akirens do tend to have their own image people expect of them.
also can't stop. won't stop. doesn't know how to stop. ]
You only say that because you're biased.
no subject
[He might put on a show usually but he's far from the average.]
Have you considered I might be biased because I can say that?
[Long slurp of coffee.]
