Good.
[ If the reasoning behind had been for something more serious, like he was unhappy, or didn't want to continue, Yusuke would listen. But not for... well. "A tree told me to", as the reason. Or perhaps rather, "a tree amplified my insecurities and now I'm going to fall prey to them without a fight" might be more accurate.
He shifts his leg, bumping it against Sanji's. ]
Are we more on the same page now?
[ He's carefully trying to coax Sanji's hand over so he can check his wrist again. Maybe with that it might have... calmed down a little? It didn't seem like this one conversation was going to chip away at everything Magatus had dragged out into the open, but if it's helped, maybe there will have been a change... ]

[ He did. ]
She is. At Lario Kart as well, in her own way.

Yes, that would be the comparison I would draw. Personas tend to have specialised elements though, as well as affinities for magic or physical abilities.
[ Goemon is a fighter, primarily. But can still use ice attacks. He can tell he difference in strength between the two though - what Goemon is more proficient in. ]

So does that mean you want to be there when we play...?

Absolutely not.

[HE TOTALLY.... NOTICED....
Which is backed up 100% by his reaction, which is to blink for a moment, taking in those casual words, and then.... lean forward and dramatically slam his hands down.]
What?! Wait, seriously? And you didn't tell me?! [RUDE?] Yusuke!

[ Are we sure about this?
...
Yusuke leans back a little when Miyamura leans forward. ]
I didn't realise I was supposed to?
[ Aren't private lifes supposed to be private? Ignoring that pretty much half the people on the Magatus mission figured it out before he did. ]

I would recommend suggesting they don't play Rainbow Road.
[ ... and then, because he's not a dick. ]
... I will come along, but I'm not playing this time. Genuinely, I do have some project work to be doing.

[Same page? Well, Sanji has come to the conclusion he's a fool and Yusuke is a saint for dealing with his stupidity, but doesn't hurt to have that re-established.
Hell, it's... kinda relieving.
So there's no fight in him when Yusuke pulls his hand, twists it around to see the underside of Sanji's wrist. It's as the other predicted -- the mark hasn't just calmed, it's actively fading, like a scar set on fast forward, losing its color and disappearing into Sanji's skin tone.]
What's it look like?

What's it look like?
[ Yusuke glances down at it and, well...
It's a relief to see it vanishing, that's for sure. No one wants one of the first things their boyfriend says to them after being away is that they got a magical mark that was going to kill them. He tugs Sanji's hand up a little, and leans down to press his lips to the space where the mark is almost dissolving away on his skin. ]
Take a look for yourself. [ He taps the clear skin with his finger, before leaning against Sanji's side - a little like someone just deflated him. It had been a necessary conversation, but a tiring one regardless. ]
It's looking much better.

[Cracking open one eye, Sanji watches Yusuke inspect the area, can tell from his boyfriend's expression that either the mark has lessened or disappeared entirely. His lips quirk to the side when he feels a kiss against his wrist.]
Yeah? [Holding himself firm so that Yusuke can relax against him. It's the least he can do.] Guess I didn't completely mess it up.
[Doesn't feel like a complete victory to him. Though his fever is starting to recede, he's tired and worn thin. Mark his words, he's allergic to honesty. He refuses to do this shit again for at least six months.]
... Hey.
[Even still, he leans over, brushing his lips against Yusuke's temple in quiet affection.]
Thanks.

[ Good luck with that, Sanji. Honesty is going to have factor into this at some point. ]
You're welcome.
[ He's comfortable now - semi-snuggled up and enjoying the warmth of being this close. His tiredness isn't going to be as bone deep, but he does feel a little like someone put him through a mangle. ]
No more cursed tattoos, if you don't mind though. Just a request.

The request still stands.
[ Mm. They're going to fall asleep here, aren't they? He should at least tug a blanket over them so they're cosy but...
sure feels like effort. ]
But thank you. For talking about it. [ Even when he knows it's something Sanji hates. ]

[Rude, that means Sanji's gotta be the one to rearrange them on couch, tugging Yusuke along so there's a blanket over both of them and they're reclined on the cushions. Grumbling, he wraps an arm around his boyfriend and promptly flops his face into his shoulder]
Fine, no more cursed tattoos tryin' to kill me.
[As for that last statement? He offers nothing but a tired grunt, par for the course with this asshole, only softening the moment by squeezing the hand still captured in his]

It seems simple enough to manage, I would say.
[ Oh.
Oh, there they go. Yes, this is much better. Yusuke wriggles himself slightly into a better position, one where he can hook his own arm around Sanji and nuzzle himself cosily against him.
Perfect. ]
...
[ Wait. ]
You... weren't there alone, were you?

[ Guys... He wanted to get some water and enjoy some games in the living room, but y'all are having a Moment. Yes. That means he has been standing by the corner, waiting for them to be done, for the last five minutes. No, he never meant to eavesdrop because he has been trying to get Yusuke's attention in that time period, too. ]
Congratulations on living.
[ They have a guest room, by the way? ]

[ Let them rest, Akira. Heck.
It takes a little awkward twisting of his arm, but after a moment he manages to drag a pillow out from under the two of them and
lovingly fling it in Akira's direction. Then he just grumbles, and nuzzles back into Sanji's shoulder. Mmmnrgh. ]

I'm glad that you're safe.
[ As much as he wants to say that Yusuke would be worried and maybe send Sanji to hell himself, he keeps that to himself. He remembers he shares a room with fox friend and Yusuke should remember that, too. Don't think he'll forget this slight. ]
I'm just here for my Switch. [ Which he's going to zoom through the room to get and shuffle quickly out of the way after he looks at Sanji one more time.
Then back to Yusuke. He goes ahead and adds in Japanese so Sanji won't understand: ]
「You know how to pick them, but he has a good head on his shoulders. Have fun.」
[ Stares at Sanji again... Then finally leaves after he tosses the cushion back at them since that should stay in the living room. ]

[What is this, why is Akira giving him The Stare? He is a good man who has never done a damn thing wrong in his entire life, don't bring this shit to him.
Fuck it, Sanji gets to staring right back, only to start stuttering in irritated French when Akira very clearly using his own tactics against him.
... That pillow also hits him square in the face.]
Si je n'étais pas si fatigué, je te botterais le cul!!

[ Yusuke doesn't really have much to say in direct response to that - he's tired, and he doesn't need to be told that he made a good life choice here. Still, it's appreciated anyway, and he does turn his head to give Akira a look. One that's in agreement with the things Akira has just said. ]
...
[ Oh, and there Sanji goes. It's very hard not to laugh at the pillow-to-the-face, but he does turn his attention back to Sanji rather than his retreating roommate. ]
He was being complimentary. [ In his own Akira way. After a second, Yusuke squeezes Sanji's hand. ] No need to yell.

Then he could've said it in English.
[Damn right he's pouting, he is crabby and the embodiment of a hissing feline. When will the universe allow him to sleep already?
... That set aside, he huffs a sigh while obeying Yusuke's order, voice already lowering back to normal levels -- in part because he's too tired to keep up the annoyance, but also because he still has to answer the other's question from before.]
And no, wasn't up there alone. [A pause.]
Baren was around.
