I... decided to be bait him myself. I told Yuki I would if he couldn't catch him... but it's okay! I can handle it! I'm going to protect everyone, so... so...
[He already knows how serious you can be, Haru. That is what he’s worried about. You may notice that his grip on you gets a little more strong.]
What about you? Do you think that we will step aside and let you do something like that? [Because he knows that they won’t. Yuki will probably do something reckless, too. Now he understands why his mun didn’t want him to know about this.]
But... but I've already said goodbye... [To Yuki at least. You'd think he'd take the hint that he can't do it alone by now, but he still has a lot of faith in himself. Mostly, he's just scared of someone besides himself getting hurt. He shakes his head a few times.] I can do it! I can!
[He tenses briefly. Breaking his promises makes him feel guilty and sad, but combine that with Akira saying they don't want him to get hurt... he hangs his head a little, spirit deflated.]
But... [You know how stubborn he can be. He still wants it done his way if it's too dangerous for everyone else.]
[You can be as stubborn as you want, Haru, but know that your friends won’t let you act as bait. There has to be another way of doing this.]
You already did it, so I can’t really stop you. But we won’t stand around and pretend that nothing happened. [They care about you, okay? Even if Akira is bad at showing it.]
[A small frown tugs at his lips. He places his free hand over where his heart would be, whining a little. He just wants to do this all by himself. Why is it so difficult!?]
You disobeyed, pushed him off a boat and then did not even hang up on him, but instead just left him yelling like an idiot when he was actually being kind of considerate for once!]
[His friend was in danger. Akira may be new to this friendship thing, but he's pretty sure that saving him was the right thing to do. He's...a bit surprised that you still want to talk to him after all that, too.]
[Maybe it reassures Akira to know the President is just as surprised? He doesn't even know what's possessing him to leave all this freedom for them to go and try... fishing. It sounds ridiculous. Maybe it is desperation, maybe it is some sort of actual trust (speak about terrifying). Either way, it had turned his way of thinking upside down and now he's trying to cope somehow.]
Huh.
[Skeptical look, despite the sunglasses.]
You would do good at keeping in contact with the person controlling those missiles though.
[It does. It's probably because the world could end soon and desperate measures are needed, in his opinion. He doesn't think he would be considered trustworthy after recent developments, even if he doesn't regret them.]
It's a bit difficult to handle a phone and a boat at the same time. [Also, someone was about to fall into the ocean, but let's not talk about that.]
The phone is attached to the sleeve of a suit though.
[Well. It's an impractical squeaky thing, but it's still something you can wear... Mostly the President feels an immense need to criticize right now, to keep up his own self-esteem and deal with how powerless he'd felt. It's definitely not been enjoyable. He doesn't like giving responsibility out of his hands.]
I will be more careful. [Hopefully. If his mun lets him know what happened after that call. (He really doesn't want to think about the possibility of time running out).]

Don't worry about it, Akira-! [He's totally got this under control!]
no subject
It's normal to be worried about something as important as this.
no subject
Normal? [Then,] It'll definitely be okay! Definitely, definitely!
[Firm nodding. Believe in him, Akira... ;;]
no subject
...
.........] Haru, did you do something when we were at the boat?
[You can't lie to this face, you know. Even Tapioca is looking at you.
Y-you didn't do anything, right?]no subject
A-Ahahaha... It was dangerous, so... [Yes. He's shrinking back a little bit.]
no subject
But it wasn’t...it...what did you do?

Haru...you...
[Oops. It seems that his brain broke a little. Please wait while he finds words for this.]
no subject
I'll protect everyone. [Which he's already said, but he wants Akira to know he's very serious about it.]

no subject
It’s not about that. We don’t want you to get hurt. And we promised to do this together, right?
no subject
But... [You know how stubborn he can be. He still wants it done his way if it's too dangerous for everyone else.]

I don't get it, Akira...
no subject
I’m sure that everything will work out in the end. [And, more importantly, everybody will be safe. Everybody.]

I don't get what's the big deal!

You.

.... Yamada. You better know what you're doing.
no subject
Don't forget that time when Tapioca quacked in your ear before ending a call--I meanIt...it was for a good cause, seriously! He even apologized!]We do. And there won't be any casualties while we deal with JFX.
no subject
Says the man who went on various friendly excursions with JF1.
I will trust you for now, but if you take any longer than necessary we will do it our way. I won't risk much more.
no subject
I know. We won't waste the time we have.

[The President sighs. He will be very, very glad when this mess is over with, one way or the other.]
...good luck.
[And in case you fail: he never said that. There is no evidence.]
no subject
Thank you.
no subject
You'll need it.
[And while the President always enjoys being right, protecting the earth means something more to him, so... go and win this thing, Yamada.]
