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

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.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

I am not completely without preferences.

[cardoperatedboy]

I know that. Let loose, I mean.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

I see.

[cardoperatedboy]

[eyes him up and down]

...a little, anyway. You know, just... you don't know, do you.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

Not in the way you would hope.

[cardoperatedboy]

Right there! That. That's what I mean.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

Pardon?

[cardoperatedboy]

We'll work on it.

[eats his bento, suddenly hungry, apparently.]

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

-- I see.

Would you like a space actually of your own, or do you prefer things as they are?

[cardoperatedboy]

I kind of like things as they are. I'll come back tonight, maybe. Better to face up to things, right?

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Also, it's about time you changed the sheets on your bed.

[cardoperatedboy]

...Are there spares?

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

There is a fresh set waiting for you.

[cardoperatedboy]

Okay. I can do that, then.

[has probably never made a bed in his life. But knows the theory. Theoretically.]
