[Accelerator wishes Endo had stolen them. That would be a much more straightforward answer. He's scum and mugs women on the street for credit cards. That's it, dead simple, and petty theft is something Accelerator has no problem understanding. He's encountered it more times than he can count, so it's not that big a deal.
But dating. Dating. Accelerator hears that and freezes, stunned (even though objectively speaking, it's not some huge bombshell). This is an area of life in which he has exactly zero experience: practically every person he's ever known his own age is either terrified of him or wants to fight him, with a tiny handful of exceptions, and adults have only ever flirted with him because to provoke him. He doesn't even have friends, the idea of relationships beyond that are completely alien to him.
So Endo says that, and gives further explanation that doesn't help at all (he really wishes it was just theft). He makes it all sound like it's perfectly normal and hell, maybe it is for him. He's already proven that he's bizarre in other ways, why not this, too? But Accelerator, on the opposite end of the spectrum, is stuck sitting there attempting to process this information as if it never could have occurred to him. Mostly because it didn't. Then there's the real kicker, with that very teasing "Jealous?", and that's when Accelerator notices he's shifted over to the edge of the bed.]
Huh?
[He heard that right? He heard that right.
Alright, anyone with two eyes can see that Endo is an attractive person. Even Accelerator (reluctantly) won't deny that. But anything beyond that is causing his brain to stall out, and before he can stop himself he's bristling and snapping back.]
What — why the hell would I be jealous of them?? [Endo is teasing him, like he did before when he said he was interested. That's all this is, and he's falling for it even with that awareness. Wait, is he supposed to be jealous of the women, or Endo? Fuck. Accelerator inwardly curses at himself and tries to relax even though it's too little too late, scowling as he sinks lower in the chair.] Why the fuck are you dating them, anyways? Aren't you in high school like me? Can't they find men their own age??
[Yeah, that's the issue here. Adults being irresponsible isn't anything new to him — hell, one time back home he ran into some idiot high schooler in a relationship with a pregnant teacher — but that doesn't mean he has to like it. With all the crap adults have put him through over the years that's a power dynamic he's never going to abide by.]
