What did you do that for?! This was way more important than some stupid dare!

So what's your point?

[ducks a bit, looking up at him]

[his hand rests on air for a moment as the replica ducks, and he draws it back]

I don't think you have much to be jealous of.

[cardoperatedboy]

...I still am. It'd be nice if... tch. Doesn't matter.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

As you wish. But I still thought it should be said.

[cardoperatedboy]

...Zexion? Thank you. I mean, for all of this. I don't get things like this a lot.

Sorry.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

Why are you apologizing?

[cardoperatedboy]

'Cause dealing with me isn't easy.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

That may be the case, but I don't consider our interactions as 'dealing with' you.

[cardoperatedboy]

I wouldn't actually kill you, you know.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

Thank you, though I had no intention of mentioning this conversation to Gokudera regardless.

[cardoperatedboy]

No, I didn't think you would. I just got scared.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

That's fine. Fear is something I still understand.

[cardoperatedboy]

Okay. I'm still sorry. That was... you know, uncalled for.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

Only because of our past. With anyone else, it would be nothing worth mentioning. You're very honest with your emotions sometimes; it' just the way you are.

[cardoperatedboy]

That's why I'm hard to deal with.

....Thanks for the bento, you know? I really like it.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

No more so than some others. Takino, for example.

You're welcome, though it really wasn't much.

[cardoperatedboy]

Hey, hey, don't compare me to Tama.

It was, though.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

When I think of people difficult to deal with, I think of her, not you.

I do appreciate you thinking of it that way.

[cardoperatedboy]

She's easy to deal with, though. Just pretend to go along with whatever she's saying. She usually drops ideas before going through with 'em anyway.

...yeah.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

I find explaining things to her works just as well, if she remains still enough to listen.

[cardoperatedboy]

It's probably less fun that way.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

For her, perhaps.

[cardoperatedboy]

One day I'm going to teach you to enjoy yourself.
