[...Whew. Kurapika's self-restraint saves the day. Akira reluctantly loosens his hold on Kurapika to allow him room to scoot off his lap. In this moment, the cold air is his best friend.]
Uh... right.
[Man, when did it get so dark? He really was distracted. Kurapika is a dangerous man and not for the reasons he wishes to be perceived.]
[ Letting out a long, long breath, Kurapika maneuvers himself off of Akira's lap and lays back down on his jacket. The cold air is a refreshing reminder of all things pure... but mostly of self control.
Turning his head, he lets his eyes linger on Akira's face for a bit longer than he probably should before looking back to the stars. ]
I've read up on the constellations here, if you'd like to hear about them. I can point them out to you too.
[ Something nerdy to distract them from what almost happened. ]
[Akira, on the other hand, maintains eye contact only to keep up appearances. If it were up to him, he'd be teehee-ing and twirling his hair and avoiding direct eye contact. He's trying to be normal over here.]
Sure... but before that, I'd like to hear about the constellations back home.
[ Kurapika smiles, reaching out to grab Akira's wrist and pull him closer. They can at least be close without causing problems. ]
Fine. I'll tell you about the constellations the Kurta came up with.
[ That's a lot more meaningful than any others, he thinks, so he doesn't waste any time before launching into the different constellations and their origins. It's a lot of information that he doesn't mind sharing as long as Akira doesn't mind listening.
And if that turns into other, unrelated conversations? That's fine with Kurapika, just as it's fine with him if they end up falling asleep on that very roof sometime in the middle of the night. Sure their backs are sore in the morning, but it's a soreness that's well worth it. ]

Good news, Kurapika. The stars are out.
