Okay. With every one of his housemates now looking into this, as well Akira Personally interrogating a victim... Mm. It's a house call to his brother, as much as he. Doesn't really want to. Goro'd called ahead so it isn't a surprise -- standard courtesy, honestly -- though he tucks his chin more into the hoodie he'd stolen from his boyfriend before he rings the doorbell.
Nerves will get him nowhere. It's fine, it's fine. He'll just... speak honestly. Ask what he needs to ask. It's fine. If his other self can tango with Shido, he can tango with his brother. His "busyness" has come to an end.]
[ There's not much of a wait between the doorbell and Akira answering it. Friday evenings could usually be quite busy for a single twenty-something, but he tends to spend his time studying. Both for school and for his...extra curricular project.
He offers his younger brother light smile when the door opens, stepping aside immediately to allow him inside. No need for a congenial greeting, he gets right to the most important question: ]
[Goro can't help but smile in return, stepping in to unwind his scarf and wrap it around his arm comfortably. He... knows, he knows, but it's still nice to have this sense of normalcy.]
Coffee, please. I'm afraid I've become far too used to having it over tea at this point. One of the downsides of having a barista boyfriend... Actually, please do make tea, I'll end up comparing and contrasting if I have someone else's.
[He will, albeit a little slower, taking off his shoes to stall a moment.]
Well... I've been busy. Um, I have a calendar coming out this month, but I wouldn't recommend you buy it. And with other things in that area as well -- as a model, this season is always packed full of photoshoots and opportunities for me... It used to give me some trouble to balance it and classes, actually, but I've got more of a hang on it now.
[Goro settles back against the counter once he's joined Akira, playing with his scarf idly. A nervous tic.]
Not even my own boyfriend sees me much, you know? Though that's changed some since I moved in with him and his roommates. Now we just can't get time alone.
[ Ah, yes. A calendar. Yes, Akira won't be buying that, but as long as his little brother stays safe, he won't comment on it. He doesn't think it should be necessary at this point. ]
I'm not surprised--you've always been a busy guy.
[ Maybe not as busy as Akira, though he's taken a decided rest from his true calling, recently. In no small part because there has been too much sniffing around. ]
Yes, I suppose... mostly to get my mind off of this and that.
[A beat, wrapping his scarf around his hand. Okay. Okay.]
But you've been rather busy yourself, haven't you? ... Dealing with those that would suspect you of various things.
[It's. Not something he wants to talk about, necessarily, nor involve himself past what the months had given him in lingering memories, but. It's important now.]

Tea or coffee?

Even at my best, I can't say I'd make a great barista. Tea it is.
[ He'll make his way to the small kitchen, in that case, and Goro is welcome to join him. ]
It's been a while since you made a house call.

Tea was only a pretense, truthfully.
