[ Atsushi couldn't help but laugh a little at that. It's probably the first time since realizing what he had done under the influence of that amulet that he's felt somewhat relaxed. Atsushi leans forward and rests his forehead against En's shoulder for a moment. ]
[ Now that's a sound he hasn't heard in far too long. When Atsushi leans his forehead against him, En gently pats his head and ruffles his hair affectionately. ]
An "I'm sorry I've been a terrible best friend and I hope you can find it in your big generous heart to forgive me" curry. And if you're thirsty I can make you something to drink.
Hey, I'm a lot to deal with on a daily basis. Even if it was a very... very long week, that's still nothing in comparison to all the crap I've put you through.
[ En sighs as he says his name and slides a hand so that it's cupping Atsushi's cheek. Atsushi was a pretty smart guy, but sometimes, he was an idiot. ]
Listen to me. I accept your apology, okay...? You should know that's enough for me. We're friends, and even though I'd be happy to eat your manju and your curry and coffee every day, you know it's not necessary.
I'm not mad at you because of what happened. I don't blame you one bit. And I don't want you to be angry with yourself or blame yourself, either.
[ he opened his mouth to say something back, but what could he really say back to that? What could he even argue? Maybe he was overreacting the whole thing, but he still felt terrible for how he treated En. ]
[ He nods his head with a small smile, finally slipping his glances back onto his face properly and moves to go back to the kitchen, letting En come along if he wishes to.]

[ he smiles faintly, still just resting there for a moment longer. ]
You're a great friend, you know that, En?
no subject
[ Atsushi has always been a good friend, even if they have wildly different interests sometimes. It's the personality that counts. ]
no subject
Hush you, you're going to make me embarrassed. But... thank you.

C'mon. You better check on the curry before it boils over.

Ah, seafood curry?
[ Or as close as one can get to seafood curry. ]
