#updated because I wrote this in a rush and forgot ruby wasn't speaking to aqua lmao

Can we please talk about how silly Aqua is?

There's nothing I can do about it, he says, only to literally wait for her in the dark only 4 chapters later.

Um... Aqua, how is this staying away from Akane? This is the silliest stunt Aqua has pulled in the entire series. He made such a dramatic exit out of Akane's life only to cave in... what? 4 months later?

Even assuming he was stalking Ruby and realized the girls were about to hold an audition... he could've simply waited for the girls to tell Gotanda or Kaburagi the results?

There was zero need for him to talk to Akane that night. Case in point, they don't actually discuss the audition at all! Aqua just asks if it's done and that's that lmao

Despite this, Aqua still sits his ass out in the dark and waits for them to be done. He knows what path Akane will take to go home, and he literally parks himself there and makes sure Akane will notice him. He doesn't even have the decency to hide! He stays right there in plain sight and even talks to her first!

Funniest part is that he tries to play it cool by staying on his phone, but he must have seen Akane coming! Otherwise how did he even know she was walking by behind him? 😂

He can't even come up with a excuse when Akane calls him out on it.

And then when Akane tells him that she's going to stop his plan, aka that she'll keep involving herself in his business and that she may just save him from himself after all, he makes this face!

He's giddy! He doesn't need to stalk her anymore, Akane's keeping herself a part of his life all on her own lmao

Clown behaviour. Boy really wasn't lying when he said he didn't want to let go of the days when Akane was by his side 😂
