“I didn’t expect you to show up around here that soon again.” 

On the other side Ryoken hadn’t expected to get even close to his fathers mansion ever again to begin with. And yet here he was so maybe he shouldn’t be that surprised at all. Tilting his head to the side the older teen looked out to the calming view of Stardust Road, before a sigh left his lips. 

“I take it you won?”

The question probably was unnecessary because if it wouldn’t be like that Yusaku wouldn’t be here right now. But ... Ryoken never had been good in starting small talk so... he at least tried. 

“You’re okay?” It was funny because no matter how much he tried to convince himself that he didn’t cared about the younger one. He always ended up asking that question eventually, even though he never actually asked it out aloud ever before.

“I can’t if I actually want to decipher all of this though.” Takeru knew that. That’d been why Kusanagi had made sure to leave the truck’s coffee maker well stocked before he’d left for the night, too. Yusaku wasn’t a stranger to all nighters pulled in front of a computer screen-

“No one said you had to stay here and watch me go through all of this code yourself though?”Yusaku definitely knew computers weren’t something Takeru knew much about, “I don’t think I’ll be going anywhere for awhile.”

“You won’t be able to decipher all of this either if you just pass out right here and now.” he added, head tilted to the side. Kusanagi seemed like he had expected something like this with all the coffee he left around before leaving, but still Takeru wasn’t sure if this was the right thing to do. The day had been hard enough, his friend really didn’t need to stay awake the whole night as well, even if Takeru could understand that maybe... the other one was just looking for excuses not to go to sleep as well. 

In some way he was doing the same with staying here after all. 

“I know I’m not really any help with any of this.” A vague point of his hand towards the screen followed at this point while Takeru tilted his head to the side slightly. “But I still can be moral support. So as long as you stay up I stay up as well.” 

His statement probably would have sound a lot more believable if a yawn hadn’t escaped his lips at those words though.

“Like you’re really one to talk.” Though knowing the guy he was speaking to, Revolver was probably expecting the snap, even if Playmaker always seemed to be the one who was constantly searching the other out.

“I knew you were around somewhere, but I also thought someone like you liked to keep their distance, too. I know you, just like I know you’ve never been the type to work as a team willingly either. So what brings you here, Revolver?”

His first response was a slight raising of his eyebrow, even though Playmaker was right. He really wasn’t in the position to say anything about that, when he couldn’t even say why he was here in the first place. In the end it really seemed like something was drawing them to each other over and over again, even though he had declared their temporary alliance being over a while ago already. 

“Maybe I tried to keep my distance, but someone still came for me.” Again. Which was why he was surprised about this. And at the same time wasn’t  at all. “Tell me Playmaker, how much time do you plan to waste with chasing after people who already let you down to begin with?” 

He actually...wasn’t only talking about himself right now. The dark Ignis had chosen to stay against humanity as well. And yet Playmaker was wanting to reason with it.
