[if Akechi is maintaining eye contact (what kind of power move is that!!) then Akira is as well. . . which means Akechi has a nice view of the splotches of pink that blossom to life on his cheeks. it isn't enough to alter his expression, though; he quirks a brow when fingers touch his thigh, when lips touch his knee, but otherwise his features remain stony. unaffected. this ain't nothin'!1]
[(dimly, he knows better. he doesn't linger on that)]
[. . . Akechi retakes his seat, and Akira clears his throat, quickly snatching the dice back up into his hand to rattle them some more]

[because he has like a billion and he doesn't really want to hold them all in until the game is over]
