[The voice feed buzzes to life suddenly in the middle of a sentence.]

-doing it right?

[A slightly younger teenage voice is heard, shaky with nerves. Only strained panting fills the silence afterwards, and then when the boy speaks, it’s a little more firm, as he forces himself to stay calm. He’s determined to see whatever is happening through until the end.]

How do you feel?

[An unsteady exhale is released, and after drawing in a somewhat shrill breath, Akihiko finally replies, sounding mildly strained.]

Y-Yeah, just… slow down a little. It feels kinda… weird. Give me a-

[He gasps quietly right then, his body reflexively turning rigid when jostled. Akihiko takes a moment to will his rigid muscles to relax, well-disciplined from years of training.]

All right, my body’s ready now. Keep going… You’ve gotta get better at doing this, Ryoji.

Right. I know you’re challenging me, but don’t fight too much. Now…

[Ryoji’s breathing slows, but it starts getting more ragged with the strain.]

Just… give in… You’re so stubborn, aren’t you?

[He lets out a breathy laugh, then grunts with exertion.]

C’mon, man… You’re gonna have to work harder. Don’t worry about me; I can take it.

[Sudden shifting noises can be picked up, as the boxer’s tense form moves across the earth, back and forth, back and forth… In spite of that, he still resists against the flow of the rhythmic motion, intent on pushing Ryoji even further.]

Quit holding back, damn it. I’m not made out of glass. Give me everything you’ve got, or I’m taking over. We don’t have all night.

[Ryoji’s voice sounds a bit lower, frustrated.]

Fine. I should have known you could handle it all. I guess you like a bit more force…

[He calls upon the last reserves of energy. If Akihiko wanted to be pushed to the limit, Ryoji would oblige. He was the one who agreed to this, after all.]

Come!

Huh-! Nngh...

[Emitting a low growl, Akihiko is forced to let go of his defiance when his muscles finally give into Ryoji’s determined demands. His breathing remains uneven for a few minutes, as he struggles to regain his composure.]

Sh-Shit...

[After that curt mutter, the boxer quips brashly.]

Heh… not bad, Ryoji. Especially at the end there. Though if you want me down on my hands and knees more often, I’m gonna make you earn it.

[The smirk is almost audible in Ryoji’s response.]

Don’t worry, I plan to.

[And then, cheerfully and casually:]

So! Same time tomorrow, or are you going to be too sore to manage?

((Akihiko and Ryoji (will both be answering to any responses, once they realize their mistake.))

Yo you two wanna get a room?

[That sure sounded more like sex talk]

...you miiiight want to keep an eye on when that thing's recording. Just for future reference.

I'd ask if that was intentional but I don't figure the showoff type generally flubs their entrance, there.

[When Akihiko answers, he sounds a little out of breath, but mostly like his normal self.]

Hey, Roxy... Nah, no need for that. We're already in his room.

[He looks down at his bracelet. Doesn't look like his went off...]

Oh, sorry about that... We must've accidentally hit the jewel. Honestly, we weren't paying attention to the bracelet.

You might want to try to keep your training sessions more private next time you feel like experimenting.

[Unlike the rest of the people eavesdropping on his post, sex is the last thing that Shinjiro would ever assume. Shinjiro is with that girl though. Shit. He knows what it sounds like. At least maybe there won't be any girls chasing Aki around anymore. Maybe he just did himself a goddamn favor. Not sure about Mochizuki though.]

Sounded like it.

--Okay, so there's a lot that sounded like, you might want to check on where that cut in.

[Not sure yet whether to call trolling or obliviousness.]

Huh? We're in my room already...

How did you see this anyways? D-Did I record something?

[Shoot he still hasn't figured this bracelet out.]

Oh! I was recording? Sorry, I didn't notice.

Um, what do you mean by showoff type? I mean, I didn't really want anyone to see this...

Huh? Sounded like what?

[Akihiko is honestly just that oblivious. Yes, despite his age.]

We were just... training.

[Being intentionally vague, out of respect for Ryoji's privacy.]

Yeah, sorry! I must have knocked my bracelet against something. I didn't mean for you to overhear!

[Oh, Ryoji would be devastated to lose all those girls if he had any idea how that sounded. Right now, he hasn't really noticed anything off, so he's looking pretty innocent.]

Think we're on the same page there, I was saying it didn't exactly sound like you meant it to pick up.

--and yeah. Yeah, you kinda were, might want to be a little bit more careful with the bracelet next time.

Experimenting? Tch. So we hit the damn jewel. Big deal.

We're already doing it in private. It's not like we're outside where everyone could see us.

[Shinji, what the hell are you on, man.]

[Come on, there's no way the guy doesn't know-- his tone's got more than a little disbelief.]

Um. Did you even hear the same recording we did?

[You would be surprised at how dumb Akihiko really is.]

Hold on a sec...

[He turns on his bracelet and plays it back. He didn't give anything away, right? Ryoji doesn't want his new Asgard ability to be public knowledge.]

Was it something we said?

More careful? Why? Did I say something-

[Wait a second, let him run through that by memory... Oh. Oh. Ryoji may be rather inexperienced with the world, but he can certainly pick up on the connotations of the post.]

Th-That's not-I'm not...

W-We were training! I don't have any experience with my powers so I had to try them out.

[w o w no he is not touching that, he's honestly not sure he could explain it without 1. getting secondhand embarrassed, 2. laughing, or both.]

...ask your friend?

Okay... Sorry again, if we bothered you.

You even get what you sounded like?

[Why does Ryoji suddenly seem so flustered?]

So you know what this guy's talking about? I didn't mention your ability or anything.

....I'm sure you didn't.

[Probably going to have to run damage control all the same.]

...You were just trying out that power you got from here, right?

[Oh crap crap crap crap crap crap crap-]

Well, uh, um... sort of? It's okay! It's not about my ability!

[There's an obvious sigh of relief from his end. Okay, good, it'd be way more embarrassing for them if it hadn't just sounded awkward.]

Way better than what it sounded like, then. You doing okay with that? Some of them can be-- difficult to work with, depending.

Look, you're in the same household, so you... [should know which power Ryoji has. Only two possible choices there.]

It wasn't that obvious, right?

[He would feel bad, though, if he accidentally gave away Ryoji's ability when he doesn't want other people to know what it is.]

No, no, you're not a bother! It's just, um. It'd probably be better if somebody else explained.

[YOU'RE NOT GETTING OUT OF THIS ONE SO EASILY, RYOJI!]

Okay? Then spill it. Why the hell are they acting like we did something wrong?
