... you can ask me that anytime you want, you know.
I'll be glad to spend more time with you, Genesis.
[ He pauses, because there are things he'd like to say or ask. But it's not so much that he's afraid as that he wonders if they're even really that important, in the long run. ]
As much time as you like, in the office and after, if you'd like.
There are lots of ways! I could ask you for business advice, for one! Or... I could bring some things with me and make you help me decide on new ways to put together my work wardrobe! Or I could make you taste snacks I'm making.
[ There's another one of those pause-and-giggle moments. It's not that Aiichiro isn't worried for Genesis, he is, but showing that isn't really going to help. ]
I mean, unless you meant the usual ways, but I figured if that was the kind of distracted you wanted, you could ask anyone for that.

[There's a sound of relief in Genesis' voice, genuinely glad that Aiichiro was willing to spend more time with him despite his grief.]
I don't think it'll be good if I was left alone with my thoughts.

[ He pauses, replays that line in his head, then laughs. ]
I didn't really mean like that, just in general. I think I'm usually pretty good at distracting you. I might even make you be useful, if you like.

[And just like that, Genesis is distracted from the worries crowding his mind, curious to how Aiichiro was going to surprise him this time.]

I just want to spend time with you. Anything you want to do is fine, as long as I'm with you.

[ There's a teasing note to his voice, but it melts away in a second. ]
I'll see you there then.
