[ oh my god??? w-well, if they each got one, then clearly it's not actually any kind of romantic gesture aimed at him specifically, but... he can pretend it is... ]
[ whoa! he is still totally not used to this. in part because he's almost always the one starting conversations -- it's pretty rare for someone to go out of their way to contact him. ]
[it's been busy!! with Elios being. . . Elios, and all, and Akira's pretty sure he understands the root of Mishima's strange behavior from the other day]
Not bad, not bad. I drink mine black; mostly because I don't want to mask the flavor of the beans.
[ which he says a little awkwardly, because he doesn't necessarily want to remind akira that he did specifically bring him black coffee in bed the other day, but... well, he was already paying attention to that kind of stuff even before he, uh, went kind of extra-overboard. ]
Wait, is he going to get mad if I put milk in it or something?
[ he's pretty sure that's a joke, but not... 100% sure. he usually takes energy drinks over coffee anyway, but maybe he should try drinking it black when he does have it. to be safe.
a-anyway. ]
I'm... okay?
[ though he feels less okay than he did before this conversation started. ]
Um... is this about how I was acting toward you before?
[ honestly, all of that had been a lot less worrying to him than the idea that kurusu wouldn't want him around anymore. which is both pathetic and really self-centered, but that's par for the course for him. ]
Don't beat yourself up. I didn't mind it that much.
[IT WAS WEIRD, but honestly? nothing that he'd hold against Mishima in any sort of capacity. especially after, uh. fighting a bunch of Elios ice monsters]
ugh. his face flushes with embarrassment, and a little bit of that heat manages to make its away across the telepathic connection, a fact of which he is thankfully unaware. ]
I mean, I got a book on coffee after that to try to learn some basics myself, but...
[gray eyes blink slowly as he processes the faint twinge of embarrassment from the other end of the connection. a book. . . Mishima was trying to learn from a book. . .]
Why don't you let me teach you instead?
[he's a way better instructor than a stinky ol' book!]
[ look, books can totally improve both knowledge and proficiency, so this is a reasonable course of action ]
Well... I was going to ask Sakura-san if he could teach me eventually, but I wanted to at least get the terminology and some basic facts down first so I wouldn't look completely clueless.
[Looks like the MYSTERIOUS STRANGER (tm) has worked overtime. When somehow mostly everyone is asleep, the doorbell rings. There is a HUGE bento box, covered in cat-patterned tissue with a large amount of wooden chopsticks. The bottom portion has sushi and the top has friend foods and colorful presentations. It's addressed attention to: Phantom Thieves and Associates - aka people in this building.
There are also origami stars, cranes and some cats.
They seem to be aware of how many people are living here now...what a Mystery.]
[he'll find Akira in the kitchen, standing near the coffee maker, with the grinder and several cans of coffee beans laid out on the counter. he gives Mishima a wave]
Four minutes and thirty-two seconds. [he teases] Not bad. You get to keep all of your points.

How do you take your coffee, anyway?
[that's. a random question?? but he promises he's calling for an actual reason beyond coffee]

Oh, uh... Kurusu?
[ his coffee...? ]
I guess I usually like to add a little milk?
no subject
[Sure why not.]
no subject
Not bad, not bad. I drink mine black; mostly because I don't want to mask the flavor of the beans.
[Sojiro taught him well]

Right, I remember.

no subject
He might jump out at you like a ninja and knock the milk out of your hand, sure.
Always keep your eyes on the shadows.
[don't. just don't listen to him. . .]
-- ah, but that's not the point. How are you feeling?

a-anyway. ]
I'm... okay?
[ though he feels less okay than he did before this conversation started. ]
Um... is this about how I was acting toward you before?

Well, that and the whole. . . island freezing over, Elios going a little crazy, thing. Things were hectic for a while, so I just wanted to check in.
no subject
[ honestly, all of that had been a lot less worrying to him than the idea that kurusu wouldn't want him around anymore. which is both pathetic and really self-centered, but that's par for the course for him. ]
Sorry for, uh... not helping with that at all.
[ i.e. being part of the problem ]
no subject
[IT WAS WEIRD, but honestly? nothing that he'd hold against Mishima in any sort of capacity. especially after, uh. fighting a bunch of Elios ice monsters]
And the coffee was good, too.
no subject
Well, yeah, Sakura-san made it.
[ and don't bring that up!!
ugh. his face flushes with embarrassment, and a little bit of that heat manages to make its away across the telepathic connection, a fact of which he is thankfully unaware. ]

Do you want to?

Wouldn't be offering if I didn't, Mishima.
no subject
Okay. That would be nice, then.
no subject
[that makes it sound so official!!]
I haven't yet surpassed my own master, but I'll impart on you the best of what I know.
[July 31st]
There are a few origami too!]
