[Josuke just leans against the doorway.]

You know that shit's not good for your eyes.

[killerapp]

I already wear glasses. What the hell do you want, Higashikata?

[onahairtrigger]

Just came to see how you were doing. And I brought snacks from the import store?

[...]

Humor me a bit by taking a break?

[killerapp]

If I don't, are you going to have Pearl try to sit on me?

[onahairtrigger]

I mean, now that you've given me the idea...

[killerapp]

She spits water everywhere and I have electronics that you can't replace. Don't.

[But he will put his computers to sleep...only to grab his phone. He can't look at people right now.]

[onahairtrigger]

[And he won't ask Yuuki to. Pearl, knowing she's no longer needed, waddles back out.]

Brought some of the stuff I remember you liking. Here.

[As he offers the bag of snacks.]

[killerapp]

[....okay he'll turn a bit to get the bag because holy shit bakakuke crackers he needs those.]

Where'd you get these?

[onahairtrigger]

There's an imported food store at the mall.

[Josuke you literally just got here a week ago how did you already--

He pulls out his phone, let him just send a link...]

There. That's for their online store.

[killerapp]

Oh, that one. They don't deliver.

[But maybe he can send the Pod out...]

So why're are you here?

[onahairtrigger]

Hey, if you ever want me to run out to pick something up from there for you, I can.

I just wanted to check on you. The radio silence was getting worrying.

[killerapp]

[A shrug.]

I'm not a people-person. Why would it be worrying?

[onahairtrigger]

There's not being a people-person and then there's not hearing so much as a peep out of you for this long.

[killerapp]

[Another shrug.]

I'm just busy with work. It's no big deal.

[onahairtrigger]

You've also been getting sulky.

[killerapp]

[That gets him to give Josuke a Look, cat ears flat. Want to explain that?

Even if he is right.]

[onahairtrigger]

Dude. Come on. The state I came in on you in makes it a bit obvious.

[A soft sigh.]

... Plus, I... saw what happened. [That argument was public, after all.] ... You know I do respect you for what you do, yeah?

[killerapp]

[Oh. Yuuki scoffs and goes back to his phone.]

Whatever. I don't care.

[Except he does. A lot. And Josuke probably knows that.]

[onahairtrigger]

That's bullshit, Shinomiya, and we both know it. I know you care a lot about that.

[killerapp]

[He shrugs.]

It still doesn't matter. Jun's just another idiot.

[onahairtrigger]

I can't speak on whether or not he's an idiot, but he still went too far.

[He doesn't think Yuuki should've said what he did, either, but this ain't about that.]

Yeah, I think you definitely need to watch your mouth sometimes, but you're a brilliant guy. Even thinking about trying to pull off some of what you're capable of makes my head spin.

[killerapp]

[Look he knows he's rude. He's never denied that.]

Yeah, and it's easier to do all of that without people around.

[onahairtrigger]

I'm just saying Jun was wrong about the whole nobody respecting you thing, alright?

[...]

Should I just go or would you mind if I just quietly existed in your vicinity for a bit? Takeout or something can be on me if you don't mind me sticking around.

[killerapp]

[. . .]

You can stay, but can you even afford takeout?

[onahairtrigger]

As long as I don't make a habit of it, yeah.
