[ NOT GONNA LIE THAT'S CUTE. Chou also sounds fat like chow, but that's fine. ]
What I want from you is... [ LONG PAUSE. ] For you to calm down a bit? He's fine, eating, sleeping a bit more, and he's been painting towards the direction of his house.
Because that was... easy. And he isn't used to easy. It's enough to prompt a narrowed frown aimed his cellphone, considering the implications -- most likely just a friend of Yusuke's asking Sanji to calm his tits here, no reason to be upset -- but Sanji wasn't taught to think that simply.
There's gotta be an ulterior motive in play when people give you shit for free.
... God, he's paranoid.]
That's hardly a trade. Name something else on top of that.
[ Akira is 19 years-old and what information he has over Sanji is just where Yusuke will be painting... Please, boy. He's dumbfounded, taking a while to really let that sink in.
Eh? ]
No, that's it. You're his boyfriend, so I think you should know.
[ He doesn't know Mr. Grumpy so much, but this is starting to paint a picture. ]
Got it. You can also call me whatever French word you want.
[ Like he forgot that gibberish last time he walked in on them having a moment on the living room couch... He had Haru translate it for him. Which reminds him of something? ]
If you need some tips on speaking Japanese, I can give you those, too.
[ ... Sanji is so perfect for Yusuke. A weirdo 100%. Also, to be compared to Baren is like being compared to a toddler.
That's rude. ]
That's a lot of work... If you're going to put that much effort, you should go big.

[Truly Sanji is a great mediator of his temper in times of stress.]
no subject
[ GENUINE ABOUT THAT since he has seen pictures from Yusuke. Maybe he should call fox friend that, too. ]
I'll tell you where he is, but I have a price.
[ As usual. ]
no subject
[Sanji sure did name his cat "cabbage"... well okay not really, but it's a thing regardless.
Also... jesus lord, Akira]
This better mean he's actually fine and you're just fuckin with me now.
[SIGH]
Whaddya want?

Nah.]
Ah... thanks for the tip, then.

Akira chuckles a bit, thinking that this is like interacting with some of the stray cats he finds on the streets. ]
No problem, Mister Vinsmoke. If there's anything I can do to support both of you, I'll definitely extend a hand.
no subject
Just "Sanji" works. I don't go by "Vinsmoke".
[He doesn't get mad. That alone is commendable. But his voice has turned a eerie neutral, like he's struggling to keep it that way.]
But thanks for the offer. Keep me updated if anything happens to Yusuke.

[Which still somehow reminds him of Baren, and for that, Sanji can't be angry. Just kinda spooked and emotionally flustered.]
You gonna turn around and move all of my shit two degrees to the right as some form of payment?
[... Baren also did that.]

[Scoffing, though it's more in amusement than anything.]
Shit, don't go convincing anyone I'm a role model. Think of the goddamn children.
no subject
[ He’s also kidding, but maybe he’ll ask Yusuke about it and see if he’s interested in doing that. Maybe they can pin the blame on Baren. ]
If it really bothers you, I’ll take an IOU.
no subject
... Yeah, I'd prefer it.
Nothing personal, I just don't like being in anyone's debt if I can help it.
no subject
That's understandable. When I think of something up, I'll tell you.
[ Big baby. ]
no subject
[Big Baby but one who got his way, and Sanji sounds satisfied on the other line.]
Lemme know if there's any change with him, if ya could.
no subject
[ But he will withhold information that he thinks is meant to be told by Yusuke himself. It's only fair. ]
Otherwise, of course. Consider me an ally.
[ Yusuke Protection Squad Forever. ]
no subject
It's a stretch to say he likes Akira (gotta level up dat social link), but damn, he can't be mad at him, either.]
Alright, I'll keep it in mind.
Thanks.
