[He does not, and it's more than a little unnerving. Mav is usually only out overnight on the weekends, and he hasn't said anything about extra shifts this week. He should be back by now. Why would he be so late, without so much as a 'still alive' text?
Akechi tries to tell himself he's worrying too much, that Mav is probably fine and just lost track of time in town or something else equally harmless. There's no way he could've gotten caught up in a daemon attack without the school hearing about it. And the odds of someone on Shido's payroll knowing about his growing conflict of interests and trying to eliminate the largest source are incredibly small, right?
...It's around 1:30 when he gives up on trying to reassure himself and texts.]
[For Maverick, it's still a reasonable time, so he doesn't feel the full force of the guilt he should when he gets the text. At least irisnet means he doesn't have to worry about any overseas charges or something. Thanks, magic school bullshit! He can text his boyfriend now.]
yeah? went out

[At least Ricktoria is staying with Kanata at the moment. He's not totally irresponsible.]
[He should be relieved. In some part, he is. Mav's alright, and probably just planned a trip on impulse without caring that he'd be missing classes. But the fact that he hadn't said anything gnaws at his insecurity. Is he...really not worth even a text saying he's going to be gone overnight?]
Why didn't you say anything? I was worried sick when I realized it was after midnight and you weren't back.
it's not after midnight for me I wasn't thinking about what fucking time it is there and even if it was that late who gives a fuck? I can go out it isn't a big deal
I give a fuck, because I thought you'd consider it worth your time to let me know if you were going to be late as shit getting home. You know, like I did when I was out into the night. For all I knew, there was some sort of fucking emergency I didn't know a damn thing about.
oh whatever you're out doing dangerous shit I'm just with a friend unless you wanna flip out at me for taking the bus this late coming home from work all of a sudden because this is no different
When I'm out doing dangerous shit, I fucking let you know so you know I'm prepared for it. For all I knew, you got jumped in a fucking alley by some asshole with a gun and were dead before you knew to defend yourself. Do you know how many murder cases I've worked where the victims was just in the wrong damn place at the wrong damn time?
holy shit man I'm not screwing around in shady alleys I'm not one of your fucking VICTIMS you can avenge or rescue or what the fuck ever I'm not FUCKING USELESS and I don't need you to keep tabs on me to make sure I'm okay I can fucking take care of myself and news flash asshole I DON'T NEED TO I'M FUCKING FINE
The fact that it was nothing doesn't change the fact that I was fucking worried! For all I knew, you were in the middle of some godsdamned emergency or some other bad shit I wouldn't want to happen to you. I just want to know when you're PLANNING to be out late, so I don't end up worried fucking sick over what might have sideswiped you.
lucky me I did exactly as you fucking wanted because this shit wasn't planned and HOPEFULLY I don't have to hear you bitching about it anymore not that I should have had to hear it in the first place because you have no fucking business thinking I can't take care of my own damn self
