How'd you get to know him in the first place, anyways? You mentioned when you were kids...

[leaberator]

Yeah. We were best friends as kids, if you can believe it.

[foodbin]

Gotta admit, it's hard to imagine.

[leaberator]

[ he lets out a huff of laughter ]

Yeah. A lot happened since then. He was a less of a jerk as a kid. [ but he sounds... a little fond ]

[foodbin]

That's a pretty low bar to clear.

[leaberator]

Aaaand he used to be way worse not that long ago.

[ ...although. ]

He say anything to you particularly? Or is that just general "yeah, I've heard him"?

[foodbin]

[She waves a hand.]

Nothing I can’t handle. I’m used to jerks.

[leaberator]

[ that's. THE OPPOSITE ANSWER OF WHAT HE'S LOOKING FOR?? ]

Hey, no... I'm not saying you can't, but... [ he rubs the back of his neck with a frown ] When was this?

[foodbin]

It was after the two of you got partnered, but I promise, it wasn't a big deal. Don't worry about it, okay?

[leaberator]

[ oh my god. he's gonna kick saix's fucking ass. ]

No, it is a big deal if he's being a jerk to you on purpose. He used to do that stuff to Roxas and Xion, too.

[foodbin]

I don't actually think it was on purpose...?

[She shrugs.]

And it was only, like, one thing he said. I really can't stress how much of a non-issue this is.

[leaberator]

[ well that tracks but. :T :T ]

...If it's a non-issue, it shouldn't be an issue repeating it.

[foodbin]

I just told him I was glad he was alright and did the whole, oh, are you, I didn't realize I was such a concern to you, because how dare you care about my well being or express any positive emotions even tangentially related to me.

[She shakes her head.]

Not a big deal.

[leaberator]

[


he hides his face in his hands ]

Sorry. He's just. Like that.

[foodbin]

[She laughs.]

How many times do I have to tell you that it's okay?

[leaberator]

[ no he's EMBARRASSED now ]

I know. Sorry. [ he waves a hand around ] I got worried. He's not... I know he wouldn't do it again, but. Like I said, he's had issues with people I like before.

[foodbin]

[...]

Wait, do you think he's jealous?

[leaberator]

[ LOOKS AT THE SKY @ god give him strength ]

Wouldn't be the first time?

[foodbin]

That... might almost be endearing if it weren't so weird.

[leaberator]

It's never been endearing. [ deadpan ] Anyway, he's-- self-aware over that stuff now, so... it probably wasn't that.

[foodbin]

Exactly how certain are you that he's self aware?

[leaberator]

Uh... Well...

[ mmmmmmmmmm ]

It's complicated?

[foodbin]

Okay... In what way?

[leaberator]

The "he'd only admit he's self-aware on his death bed" kinda way?

[foodbin]

I'm pretty sure that doesn't count.
