The fact that you'd go to get-togethers at all means you're way more social than I am, believe me.
[Not that he knows for sure, but Akira seems to have so many friends! And he's always around on Retrospec. But it's difficult to keep thinking about that as teacups are piled into his hands. Dropping these isn't an option!]
What? No way. I'd choose you over me any day. [WHAT'S A BOOST WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE?] I can't break any of them if you keep giving them to me!
You do it to save face, Kouhei. Whatever face you have, I suppose.
[ There were plenty of parties where he attended for his family, shown off as an asset and the like. However, Akira does have many friends, but that has only changed in the turn of a year. It came with a lot of challenges and hurdles. ]
You can say that because saying you would date yourself is weird.
[ While he's distracted, he tips one of the cups out of Kouhei's hold. Crash, shatter, there it goes. ]
You have a nice face, worthy of dating both of us.
[ Kouhei. Kouhei. They'll have to work on that confidence of yours. Akira can only pass so many things before he has to stop—though he's considering maybe this isn't working. It is a lot of teasing.
With a hum, he takes a couple of the cups before tossing them against the wall. That should be enough for his friend. ]
[That only gets a slightly nervous laugh out of him. Dating 1) himself or 2) his friend that has a boyfriend are both Not Options, but it's a strangely charming comment anyway.
But with some of the cups taken away, he's able to shift the rest to one arm, and picks one up to fling it at the wall in a similar manner. Even this is satisfying. How strange.]
Thanks for coming with me, Akira. Really. I think I should do things like this more often.
[ Yes, it's weird. Don't say that it is because Akira KNOWS. They continue until there are no more porcelain pieces on the shelves. Looks like their session has ended for the day.
Akira slides his hands into his pockets, letting his shoulders sink down. ]
No problem. I should be thanking you—it's not a normal activity, so... [ A shrug. ] But it would be cool if we could do some other stuff.

[ Kouhei, just keep catching them or let them drop. The fate of these cups rest in your hands. ]
Between the two of us, I would choose to go with you. [ Take that boost, man—right, the teacup ferry? Hm. ] Oh. I don't know.

[He has face with his mom. That's cool. ....NO, HE DOES HAVE FRIENDS, IT'S JUST. ALSO A NEW THING.]
At least I didn't say I'd date both of us-- whoa!
[That sure is a cup shattering by his feet! Well, okay then.]
How about we split these last few up evenly? You're going to have to help, though, since I can't really hand half of them to you with my arms full.

Maybe a trip to the library?
