Chuuya is pulled away from his work by a knock on his the door of his office. "Come in!" He yells. A pale boy walks in, "Uhm.. There's something I need to tell you, sir." A deep voice belonging to Akutagawa says.
"Yes?" He asked, making eye contact with the taller male. Akutagawa's eyes fell towards his feet, nervousness filling the air.
"I've been thinking about leaving the mafia.." Akutagawa admitted. Chuuya tried making eye contact again, "Is this because of the weretiger?"
"Yes, sir." Akutagawa continues to avoid eye contact. "Alright, I won't stop you." Akutagawa finally looks up, fear leaving his body. Chuuya half-smiles at him. "I'm proud of you, kid." Akutagawa smiles, a genuine smile.
"Actually, now that I think about it," Chuuya started "we haven't talked in a while." Chuuya pointed towards an empty seat opposite side of where he was seated. Akutagawa nodded, taking the seat.

"Thank you for telling me this, Akutagawa." Akutagawa nodded again. Chuuya then smiled, "You've done a lot for the Port Mafia, kid. It was a pleasure to be your mentor."
"How should I tell Mori?" Akutagawa asked. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Chuuya placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Are you planning on joining the Agency?" Chuuya asked. "I'm not sure yet. I'll figure something out." The redhead smiled, "I think you'd be a good fit there."
Akutagawa looked at him in shock, the look of shame and embarrassment in his eyes faded. "I know you're a good person. You just needed time." Akutagawa smiled, "Thank you, sir."

"Kyouka's going to kill me." Atsushi shook his head at Akutagawa's statement. "I've already told her everything, plus, I'll be there." Atsushi squeezed his hand reassuringly.
Akutagawa calmed down a bit, relaxing into Atsushi's touch. Atsushi unlocked the door of his and Kyouka's shared apartment. "I'm home!" He yelled.
Kyouka's smile quickly faded when she saw Akutagawa. "Oh. You brought him.." Akutagawa's grip on Atsushi's hand became tighter with every word.
"Mhm. I want us all to be civil and have dinner together." Atsushi said. Kyouka frowned, "Atsushi.."
Akutagawa coughed into his sleeve. Kyouka glared at him, "Akutagawa, can I speak to you. Alone." Akutagawa nodded following after her.
Akutagawa looked at Atsushi, he just smiled. Akutagawa had accepted his inevitable death at that point.
Kyouka pulled him into the bathroom, "Listen here, I honestly do not care who you associate yourself with, but if that includes Atsushi then I do care. Atsushi saved me from the Port Mafia and showed me the light. He doesn't deserve to be burdened with someone like you. I know who you are and I don't want you around him. I think it would be best if you left and never came back."
Akutagawa scoffed, "I could care less about what you think. If our relationship bothers you so much, leave."
"You leave. I don't wanna see your eyebrow-less face ever again." She scowls at him. Akutagawa glares at her, "Your mother wouldn't be very proud." He cant deny it, he loved the way Kyouka's face warped into a more morose one.
