(also tell me if it's moving too fast so I can try and slow it down in the future)
After the duel and Akira joining the school, Sora decided to get to know him "so, you're a fusion and synchro Duelist?" Akira simply nods and says "yes, I can also ritual and XYZ summon, didn't even know Ancient Gears had monsters for those methods" as this is the first step to making Sora see the light.
Sora is insanely surprised at that, Ancient Gear monsters for two other summoning methods as well, but says "meh, I prefer Fusion personally, mainly because of the fact they're easy to do" Akira nods, considering how many Fusions he could theoretically do in a turn, though once they're somewhere private, Akira says "you're an Academia spy, aren't you?" Sora is immediately on guard but acts nonchalant "what you mean?"
"You know exactly what I mean, you're here to spy on Reiji Akaba, Leo Akaba's son, so tell me why" Akira said, growling a bit, while Sora snorts "he plans to make a utopia, what else you want me to say?" Akira growls and pins him to the wall "no, if he did he wouldn't be causing a war, in fact all dimensions were in peace before HE came along" Sora growls back "no they weren't, THEY HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS, HOW WERE THEY AT PEACE!?" Akira flinched slightly at the yelling but yells back "BECAUSE THE PROBLEMS WERE MINIMUM, NO ONE CAN MAKE A PERFECT FUCKING WORLD, BECAUSE HOW WILL HE COMPLETE IT WHEN SO MANY JAVE FAILED BEFORE!?"
Sora then goes for a punch, Akira dodges and throws his own but Sora hits him right in the mask, hitting it off. Akira immediately covers the bottom half of his face in slight pain.... And fear of how he'd truly react. Sora charged in before pinning Akira to the wall and managed to pry his hand off.... Before gasping and backing off. Akira though simply manages to get out ".... This is a.... Result of a lie as well.... Someone made me think.... I could trust him, I thought I could change your mind...." He turns to leave, while Sora is now contemplating, Akira is covering his mouth as he walks, going to grab another mask.
Sora is in the room thinking about what he said "is he telling the truth? I mean, that's absurd.... But, Academia was.... Less war oriented before Professor came.... Hmmmm" he continues to contimplate before seeing the mask on the floor and goes over to pick it up ".... Why do I feel so guilty? I mean I carded people, so why do I feel guilty for hitting his mask off?" He yells in frustration at his conflicting feelings before sighing.... Suddenly remembering the look of pain and fear in Akira's eyes makes his heart oang in guilt.
".... I guess if I'm with him long enough, I'll figure out why" he takes the duel disk off and outs it on the desk, before running after Akira to give the mask back. Akira was at the door before Sora yells "WAIT!" Akira flinched again but turns around and says "what, here to call me a monster? To hit me more? To dehumanize me?" Sora shakes his head and holds out the mask "no, I wanted to give you this back" he's surprised but takes it and inspects it and says ".... Nothing? No tricks?" He sounds surprised while Sora chuckles and says "hmmmm, maybe in return for a date to get to know each other."
Akira blushed and says "y-you mean hang out right?" As he puts his mask on, while Sora says "nope, I meant date I mean I'm slightly interested in you so" Akira nods and says "wh-when?" Sora thinks and says "hmmmm, tomorrow at seven? Pm of course" Akira nods and says "that's.... Acceptable" and Sora says, before Akira leaves "oh yeah, I must say you're cuter without the mask" as he heads to Yuya's place, leaving Akira a blushing mess, he's not used to compliments.
