[Akira's been missing for a few days, with no visits to the apartment and no responses on his communicator when quizzed about it. When he finally returns on the fourth day, with the weirdest headache, he's greeted by Tako meowing and winding his way around his legs, and... a very clean apartment.]
Huh.
[Akira picks up Tako, checking he's still healthy and fed.] I'm guessing you didn't take care of all this while I was gone?
[Tako just meows, blinking at him with large green eyes. He looks healthy enough, which means...]
[It should be worrying, but Ryoji was who he was - and put his energy into other things, thinking it was just something Akira did. Wanting to better some of his skills in his human form, he had taken to cleaning. At first just simple things but as the days rolled by, he somehow managed to get everything so sparkling clean that the floor was almost reflective like a mirror.]
Oh, you're back!
[Wearing the same outfit as when he had last seen him (but also completely clean) he peeked his head from his room when he heard the cat meow.]
I had a bit of free time [understatement], so I cleaned up the apartment. I hope that's okay!
[Akira puts down Tako, and blinks at Ryoji in surprise. Everything is so... bright and dazzlingly clean. Not that Akira had kept the apartment like a slob before, but he'd never given it a deep clean on this level.]
Of course it's okay... It looks great! I really owe you one.
[He’s really not buying it, but he won’t question it too deeply. Besides, one of the girls he has in mind might wind up liking Ryoji, anyway.]
I’ll send you over the details of two girls. Their names are Gwenhwyfar and Venus. You can tell them you’re my roommate if they ask. [A few taps on his communicator, and Ryoji has a new message with their contact details.]

No, no it's fine! I just had a lot of free time. [You have a lot of free time when you don't sleep.] I didn't do it to get favors!

Have you tried getting a date yourself? It's not that hard around here.
no subject
When you put it like that, it almost seems too easy. I gave my number to all the girls in school but I didn't think about doing that here.
[Ryoji, no.]
Although I thought you might know good people?
no subject
[He turns on his communicator, but before he brings up his contacts, he looks at Ryoji and shoots him a sharp look.]
If I tell you about one or two, you have to promise me that if they turn you down, you won't bother them. Don't be a creep about it.
no subject
[Pffft like a sharp look could ever deter him!]
Of course! That's rarely happened to me, however. [Except every member of SEES woops.]

[This would sound rather bad if he didn't sound so oddly innocent about it? He blinks in surprise when he gets the details.]
Modern technology is so amazing. We didn't have watches like that...but Venus and Gwenhwfar...they already sound amazing!
[He's pretty easy to please.]
no subject
[He slaps Ryoji's back with a little more force than intended, in an 'I'm rooting for you' kind of gesture.]
no subject
Coming from you, that means a lot! I will, but not all the details! You have to preserve a girl's secrets!
no subject
[He teases him lightly, grinning.] Sure, just give me the broad strokes.
no subject
[Sometimes expressions went right over his head.]
no subject
[Akira never even thought about what the phrase meant that much, smh Ryoji]
