(i love love love oc and canon interactions yum) (if you like this then i’ll post more of them like holding hands and kissing maybe idk…)

Akira doesn’t exactly know why he hates the saboteur. He just does. And that’s how it’s been between the two of them ever since the breach. He doesn’t hate him for anything like the breach, in fact, he’s pretty glad he’ll be out of this hellhole if Sebastian’s competent… He’s really not sure why he hates Sebastian.

He’s even more unsure as he sits in the corner of Sebastian’s shop, a few water bottles clutched in a claw, the other using one to douse his gills. Akira had been dying, he’d been dying ever since the tests stopped being run on him. He’d just started dying especially fast when he travelled too far from water; a stupid oversight that he’d make sure not to do again… hopefully. He’d stumbled on Sebastian’s shop and— embarrassingly— asked for help. He doesn’t know why the Saboteur helped him. After all the hatred he’s expressed, it’s never been mutual from Sebastian. He’s always teased him as he would anyone else. Akira has not a clue why.

And so he sits, still, dousing his gills with water in an attempt to recover before voyaging out and trying to find an open floor or something like that. Sebastian is on the other side of the room, of course, idly watching him. Akira hates how awkward the silence is.
