[Yes, good, Peko, take your weasel and keep him over there. Meanwhile, Kuzuryuu will keep his cat over here and they can continue on with this trainwreck of a conversation.]
[Of course "classmate" and "friend" are not equal though, I mean technically Saionji is a classmate.]
Hold up, is this a conversation you're having right now? [She used the word "if" before, he kind of figured this was all hypothetical for...some reason. He should have known better though, a question like this would have to be prompted by SOMETHING...] Never mind, it doesn't matter, just... shit.
[Why is this so hard.]
It's not like we can fucking hide it anymore, not when so many people already know the truth. [And...you know. How much time they spend together. It's a little too late in the game to attempt what they did on Jabberwock Island.]
And I don't... [Really want to hide it? Or at least certain aspects of it. It's just very hard to be selective about what you do and don't tell people in this instance. Everything is so tightly interwoven together. Admitting to the fact that they have a history together will assuredly lead to questions about specifics. And the specifics are the parts he's not exactly crazy about sharing with the whole world just yet.]
[Ah, yes, she's supposed to be my hitman and my tool and even though I never wanted that, she thinks of herself like that and then some stuff happened and she died, I lost and eye, and now we're ???]
[But at the same time, "friend" doesn't...it doesn't adequately cover what they have. Because no matter how much Kuzuryuu may have wanted to be friends with her growing up, they never really were. And now she's ascended to a different plane in his mind altogether. Something higher than a friend that Kuzuryuu doesn't quite have a word for beyond "one of the two most important people in my life."]
Just...tell 'em whatever you want. My They aren't asking for my opinion, they're asking for yours. [There we go. This is a flawless escap-- oh no wait shit hold on.] But you're not allowed to say you're my tool, got it!? Not now, not ever! You're forbidden from ever saying that, y'hear me!?
action; 4/23
