#{ Keiichiro Akasaka: Living Science Postcanon Main Verse }

[kitxkatrp]

Ichigo knows full well that ever since the initial encounter, Ryou and Keiichiro had been trying to meticulously plot how to get the girl they had seen before into the cafe without it being too awkward, but sadly, she had some news for them that was likely either gonna relieve them or stress them out even more.

Them being in that room, she sighed and found herself tapping at the door before poking her head in. "Um... Guys... I have some news..."

They didn't need to plot any longer-

"What is it, Strawberry?" Ryou turned around in his chair, Keiichiro's eyes snapping to her as well. They had no idea what was about to be revealed to them, as they weren't focused on watching the security cameras right now--

[kitxkatrp]

“this doesn’t represent me, though.” (Fisk to Keiichiro)

"To be honest, I don't really think it represents many of the girls...do you think Zakuro would normally be caught dead wearing something like this if she didn't have to?" Keiichiro cheerfully responded, pointing at the uniform.

"It's more...for the brand name, I suppose. People like it, it keeps people unsuspecting of the true identities of the girls, and well...they're just cute."

∗ 18﹕ sender  comes  to  receiver  after  being  injured . (Dianne and Keiichiro/Ryou)

"I'll get the first aid--" Keiichiro dashed off to go grab that, while Ryou reached out to steady her.

"What happened?" Ryou asked, "I need to hear the whole story.. For your own safety."

[kitxkatrp]

‘  believe  me.  say  you  believe  me.  ’ (Ichigo to Keiichiro regarding other mews uWu)

"Of course I believe you..I'm concerned about how this came to be, however." Because if there were other mews, then they had to consider that there were faults in the equipment beyond what they already knew...and also had to approach all of them.

"Do you have any idea who these mews are?"

[kitxkatrp]

Sorry Fisk, Ryou was raised by this idiot. He does not understand your perversion.

[ 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 ] : sender and receiver are interrupted. (Ryou and Ichigo)

It had been a kiss that they really hadn't meant to share in that timeframe, but a little shared peck turned into a heavier kiss. He couldn't help it. After all this time pining and waiting he finally had her, and he was going to milk it for all that it was worth--

Except the door opened.

He stared for several long seconds before turning right back around. "Tell me when you're done."

Ryou felt like he was going to die.

[kitxkatrp]

do you ever just sit there and wonder why even bother? (Fisk to Keiichiro)

"Believe it or not, I'm far past such a stage, I've already come up with a reason to satisfy myself." But it did also mean that he had been there before, which was interesting information especially given how he normally presented himself as a happy and jolly fellow.

"Even if it's a silly reason to everyone else's standards, you just have to figure out something to hang onto. Anything works."

❛ i feel useless behind this computer. ❜ (Woojoo to Keiichiro)

"I assure you that it's a really important job...I know it may not seem important in the grand scheme of things to protect a cafe, but we have a lot of enemies..I can't really explain right now, but it needs to be done for the safety of our girls."

[kitxkatrp]

❛ we don't talk about that. ❜ (Fisk to Keiichiro)

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend." He quickly made sure to say, raising his hands somewhat defensively. "I just wanted to know what's going on because you all seem upset...but you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. Just know that I'm here for all of you no matter day or night...okay?"

[kitxkatrp]

❛ I don’t understand your definition of good news. ❜ (From Fisk to Keiichiro)

"Oh I'm sorry I never explained! Because the cake exploded, I discovered that the oven needed urgently replaced! If I hadn't been in there cleaning it, I wouldn't have noticed that it was broken until something happened."

How rare for him to explode a cake though. Suspicious.

[kitxkatrp]

i’m damned if i do give a damn what people say. (From Chara to Keiichiro)

"Sometimes it's better to move to your own tempo. If you don't like what people have to say, you don't have to listen to it if you don't want to. People can be needlessly cruel."

It was good life advice really, and given while doing dishes no less.

[kitxkatrp]

❛  i can buy myself flowers.  ❜ (Fisk to Keiichiro)

"Of course. I wasn't trying to be rude, I was merely saying a lovely young Lady deserves to have a man buy her flowers instead of buying them herself. Doesn't it feel nice to get a gift every once in a while?"

...Yes he was being manipulative, don't trust that smile of his.

[kitxkatrp]

[ knock ] sender is here to see receiver and knocks playfully on their door to indicate they've arrived (Woojoo to Keiichiro)

"Oh, wonderful! I've been waiting for you!" Quite eagerly, judging by his bouncy energy as he let her in. "Thank you for being my test subject so often....I know it must be annoying, but I promise you'll be properly compensated! As well as all the food to be yours, of course!"

And there was quite the assortment of tarts on the table today.

[kitxkatrp]

“My fear of abandonment is so strong, because if I could I would abandon myself too.” (Dianne to Keiichiro)

"Dianne, just because you would doesn't mean everyone would." He understood her fears, but...she didn't seem to realize the little family she'd built for herself right here. A true family, away from the one that abused her.

"You're welcome here anytime. We wouldn't leave you behind even if you told us to."

[kitxkatrp]

❛  jealous ? i’m not jealous. i don’t have any reason to be jealous.  ❜ (Dianne to Kei about Ryou? uWu)

"Dianne," he paused, quiet as he considered his words. "I don't want to push you, but continuing to be in denial isn't going to do anything for your mental health. Everyone can see it, so stop hiding. To be quite frank, we're worried about you, but we can't help you if you continue to hide away like this. That's not going to work."
