[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.

[Should he say anything else? This is...awkward enough as it is, but...]
...Can I ask you something, Adachi-san?
no subject

[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.

Will he buy it?]
...Don't apologize, Adachi-san. I understand.

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.
