[...dammit. Ichigo is nothing if not easily emotionally manipulated when you've gained his trust, and for now? The doubt in his mind fades away, replaced with only a slight-self loathing for daring to think that something was weird for a few moments.]
[As much as he likes Adachi, Ichigo knows Yosuke. Or at least, he thinks he does. There's something else going on, and that voice is back inside his head...and this time, he's willing to listen for a little while.]
It's just kind of awkward is all, y'know? Having to tell a friend that another good friend of his really hates your guts. Last thing I want to do is make things even more uncomfortable than they already were for you back there.
[He doesn't even notice that Adachi never answered his question in the first place-no, he just focuses on the other man's words, because...he has to mean it, right?]
That might be a little more...understandable, then. Why Yosuke hates Adachi so much-but then again, at the same time...
It still doesn't sit well with him, for some reason.]
Keep it between us, right?
[And that certainly was something he was getting used to hearing from Adachi. But it was kind of...nice, that Adachi trusted him enough to ask. And as loyal as Ichigo is to the people that get his trust, he really will keep it between just the two of them.

[What a good job he does, sounding surprised and all one second. Absolutely defeated the next.]
Well. Can't say I really blame him.
no subject
He...didn't really say it. I kind of...saw it.
[Or did Adachi forget about his soul sight?]
no subject
[He can do that. Meaning "resents" was probably a very poor choice of words on his part. Shit.]
no subject
[Should he say anything else? This is...awkward enough as it is, but...]
...Can I ask you something, Adachi-san?
no subject
Sure. Go ahead.

[He'll have to try and tackle this very carefully. He can't afford to slip up again and make Ichigo more suspicious here. Can't expose himself now.]

...Sorry if I did.
no subject
Will he buy it?]
...Don't apologize, Adachi-san. I understand.
[He doesn't even notice that Adachi never answered his question in the first place-no, he just focuses on the other man's words, because...he has to mean it, right?]
Thanks for trying to look out for me.

[You can practically visualize that clumsy wince on the other end.]
Try not to mention her around him, okay? Truth is, he kind of had a little thing for her, so -
[And the one after that.]
Crap. Probably shouldn't have told you that, either... [He clears his throat.] D-Don't worry, though. I'll figure something out. Just, please.
["Keep this between us." Kind of an odd pattern their conversations seem to be falling into, isn't it?]

...Took the words right out of my mouth. Thanks.
