[ Akashi doesn't plan on lying, but he also gets the feeling Kuroko will not appreciate it if he explains "so I sort of had this mutual killing thing set up", so he'll gloss over the details. ]

I can assure you that nothing happened which was beyond the scope of what I had planned for.

[ignitepass]

You planned this?

[outplays]

Surely that's not worse than an unplanned death.

[ignitepass]

You planned it and didn't tell us anything.

[outplays]

Tetsuya, what would your reaction have been if I told you that I planned on dying?

[ignitepass]

I would have tried to stop you.

[outplays]

And I would have preferred you not do that.

[ignitepass]

Why did you do it?

[outplays]

It was interesting.

[ignitepass]

Interesting.

Akashi-kun, you worried us all until we were exhausted and you did it because it was interesting.

[outplays]

[ "I didn't ask for you to worry about me" is a reply Akashi does not foresee being taken well. ]

... You're right. I was not considerate of how you would feel about it.

[ Note the lack of an apology, though... ]

[ignitepass]

It isn't like you to overlook something like that.

[outplays]

I'm rarely overestimated, but I think you've done it.

[ignitepass]

[ Kuroko is going to hold that against him for literally ever. ]

... Don't do it again. If you're planning something that might make you leave -- at least text us.

[outplays]

[ He deserves it, really. ]

If I can, I'll let you know, then. I thought Daiki would have said something, though.

[ignitepass]

We haven't been talking that much. [ awkward makeouts, sleeping with Kagami... you know how it goes ]

[outplays]

[ WELL NOW AKASHI WOULDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SLEEPING WITH KAGAMI NOW WOULD HE ]

He's still in an irritable mood about everything, then.

[ignitepass]

He is. I was thinking of helping him along, later. Before he gets too sick.

[ he can get a little sick, though. ]

[outplays]

Please do. I'm not exactly in a mood to deal with him right now.

[ignitepass]

I'll take care of it. [ Kuroko isn't sure Aomine'd be too okay with the idea of making out with Akashi. ]

[outplays]

[ Akashi's not really into the idea of making out with Aomine at the moment either... ]

I appreciate it, Tetsuya.

[ignitepass]

Of course. [ and then, a little deliberately, because he occasionally likes to push things just as much as Akashi -- ]

It's what friends are for. Right?

[outplays]

[ Nice try, Kuroko. Akashi mentally gives the effort an A-, though an A+ for effort. ]

Yes, I'm sure Aomine will appreciate it. Once he comes around, at least.

[ignitepass]

Hm. [ nice dodge. ]

I'm sure he will. It's nice to be appreciated.

[outplays]

So it is.

[ And Akashi will happily play dumb about this conversational turn because, uh, awkward. ]

Just try not to push things too hard, that's all.
