"Oh?"

He... guesses it's not all that surprising of a question. Akechi can be... a lot. Even to him, sometimes. He hums, looking away for a moment.

"There's no single or easy way to answer that," he says, after a moment. "Akechi is... he's smart- so goddamn smart, and charming, attractive- you should've seen him when we were still humans, Mayaka. He's... he's stubborn. He won't stop, he'll go through with the most bullheaded shit because he's set his mind to it- and competitive. There's a reason we're rivals first and-" Ren pauses, just for a moment, lips curling into a satisfied smile, "-partners second. He's so strong, and we fight so much, and-"

Ren briefly pauses, then smiles at Mayaka, wryly.

"He pisses me off so much."

A pause, and a shake of his head. "He's so fucking stupid sometimes, Mayaka, and prideful. We fight over the stupidest things. Everything gets turned into a competition. He doesn't believe me when I say he deserves good things, even though he's- he's a person. Like me, like everyone. He's an idiot with no sense of self-preservation, and despite being so smart he's just so-" Ren makes a gesture that doesn't make much sense, and yet, he's still grinning, "-y'know?"

Well, that last part sounds pretty negative, but then Ren continues-

"I never have as much fun as when I'm having a fight or competition with him. It's... I can't describe it. It's special. You get me?"

There's a smell pause, and then, more quietly: "Most of all, I think... it's the fact that he's one of the only things I chose for myself. Caring about him, I mean," Ren murmurs, his manic grin turning softer. "We were... enemies. Pittied against each other by fate, but... I chose to spit fate in the face. I chose to become his friend. I... love all my other friends, I do, but Akechi- Goro, he's... different. Special. In so many ways he doesn't even see. It drives me nuts."

... Ren takes a deep breath, having spilled more than he meant to, and gives Mayaka a small, awkward smile.

"Does that make sense?"

claps !!! what a thesis by ren

Mayaka raises her brow in stern disbelief when Ren describes Akechi as attractive. This is probably because she's only never known him in his Pokemon form.

As the Sprigatito excitedly regales all his thoughts about Akechi, Mayaka sits down next to the teleporter and continues to listen. She leans to the side and cradles her chin with one of her claws.

All the stuff she dislikes about Akechi, Ren sees that too, but he's also able to see all these other qualities that Mayaka's not quite aware of, nor does she really care for. The part of them going from enemies to sweethearts does make her smile a little, though.

When Ren finally looks over and for her response, she can only shake her head and say: “Ren-kun… that’s the most I’ve ever heard you speak in one go. And it was all to do with Akechi?!”
