I'm going to find that powder-haired, smooth-talking, flakey good for nothing and I'm going to punch him!

Picking Sasuke over you?! Moron! God, that's so dumb!

[HE'S SO ANGRY????]

[requiemed]

Wait, what are you—

[Oh. Oh.. She can't help but laugh a little bit.]

Wait. Wait, stop for a second?

[usogi]

I can't, I have to go deck a pretty boy!!

[PLEASE STOP HIM]

[requiemed]

[She's grabbing for his shoulder to try and stop him, while also trying not to go red all over again.]

Senri. I wasn't talking about Yu.

[please don't make her spell this out!!]

[1/???]

[usogi]

Huh? You weren't? Not Narukami? Then—

[usogi]

[wait

if not Yu then,]

[usogi]

[y o u . . . . ]

[usogi]

[he's flushing all the way up to his ears,,]

done,,,,,

[usogi]

[and turning to just. press his head against the fucking wall,,,,,]

Z.... Zo.....

[requiemed]

[Almost immediately, as she feels herself flushing as well:]

It's fine. I know you don't, so - you don't have to say anything. It's okay.

[usogi]

No, it's— I just, didn't think that.

[oh my god what does he do with this,,]

I....

You know it's -

With someone that might be from a different place than me.... I can't....

[wheezing internally]

But - oh my god Zo, you need better taste in men.

[requiemed]

...You don't have to feel like you need to give me a reason.

[It hurts, but that's hardly his fault. It's not like she didn't already realize, anyways.

But, more importantly—]

You also need to have more confidence in yourself.

[usogi]

No way, you need to realize that you shouldn't be interested in someone who hasn't been able to be completely honest with you....

[ . . . and he shakes his head as he faces her]

You're my friend no matter what - and I don't want to make this more awkward or anything, but... I just wanna make sure you know I was serious that you'll find someone waaaaay better suited for you than me, and it'll be awesome.

[requiemed]

[...]

Let's talk about something else, okay? Sorry, it's like you said - I don't want to make this more awkward than it already is.

[usogi]

It doesn't have to be -

[and that's why he moves on easily]

Wanna go eat some parfaits? I think you've earned it. I'm trying out a new recipe for Bambi - so I hope you like when things are kinda sweet.

[requiemed]

[She nods without much hesitation.]

I will happily be your guinea pig.

[usogi]

Then prepare yourself for something deeeelicious!

It'll be a teaser for the parfaits we'll eat when you come visit me in Tokyo!

[requiemed]

...You really think that's going to happen, huh?

[It's more curious than anything else.]

[usogi]

Until I have a reason not to.

Who knows? There's a lot of people here that I'm not... really ready to say goodbye to.

[requiemed]

[She pauses for a second, but...]

It's something I've been thinking about a lot. What I want to use my wish for, if I make it through all this.

[usogi]

... oh? Did it change....?

[requiemed]

[...]

It's hard, you know? To know whether to use it to make the past hurt less or to make the future seem a little brighter.

[usogi]

[ . . . . ]

... that depends, I guess. Do you think you'll be able to keep going, even with the heaviness of your past behind you?

[requiemed]

[...Ha.]

Everyone I've talked to keeps telling me that I'll know the right answer when the time comes, but I don't think I'm any closer to deciding.

[usogi]

[ . . . and he just shrugs a little helplessly.]

No one can decide but you but... if you ever want an ear to try to sound out the options, you know I'm here.
