[Jyuto might understand, if they were in the position to have a heart to heart about grand ambitions and motivations. It's not like he hasn't bent the rules for his own whims every now and then himself, so the idea of judging Akira for taking some less than legal steps to get by and enact his sense of right and wrong is a laughable one. He's interesting, and that matters more than anything now -- even if it might get him in trouble if any of his superiors found out about his apparently very quickly developing soft spot.
It's that quick sense of humour and easy retort that has him charmed, probably; the way that Akira meets all of his comments with one of his own, the way he hasn't stopped smiling since he got back to his office. The company he'd gladly take over another night of paperwork.]
They aren't all as noble as you, no. Funny how criminals work like that, isn't it? [There's no harshness in the statement, nor is there any apology, because he knows Akira won't take offense at being called what he is, not when they can both feel what's brewing between them with no regard for crossing professional boundaries.
He flicks some ash into the ashtray and reclines back on his palm, blowing smoke up towards the ceiling.]
I thought you might have scared yourself off. It was a bold move, kissing the man who should have you behind bars right now. [If his tone says anything, it's that 'bold' doesn't quite mean 'wrong,' but all the same, his gaze is playful, teasing, as it finds its way back to Akira.] What if I don't swing that way? I could have you taken in for indecent assault.
