Let's not do that.

[compendiem]

No? You'd have to check in regularly, right? And I won't have to walk very far either.

[ This is a great idea? it's a great idea ]

[leaberator]

[ "i don't want to think about you when i pee" is not something he will ever say out loud, ever, in his life ]

What would you even write on there?

[compendiem]

[ It's bad enough that he has to think it every time he pees, because of this conversation. ]

Hm... Something like "Hi, how was your day?"?

[leaberator]

Why would you need to write that in a secret code, though?

[compendiem]

It's more for your sake. People say back, "fine," but they don't always mean it. If it's a secret, maybe we can be honest with each other.

[leaberator]

[ a surprisingly thoughtful answer... if completely misguided, considering writing it in morse code on his house is just asking hisoka to read it. also implying axel tells anyone how he is truly feeling at any time but that's neither here nor there

he smiles, though ]

How about this: let's say about once a day, we pass along a note like that. That way we don't have to write it where anyone can see it all the time, and we don't have to write a new message too often, either.

[compendiem]

[ It's a fair compromise, particularly because it'd be a pain to walk over to Lea's house all the time and have to guess when he's coming back next to pee. ]

Yeah, alright. Once a day... I'll have something to look forward to once a day. I'd like that.

[leaberator]

[ ...ah... ]

You'll have to give me at least a couple of days to memorize this thing first, y'know. [ he waves the book around for emphasis ] It's no fun making secret notes if I gotta translate them word by word.

[compendiem]

[ It's taking everything in Minato's power to not hold up the piece of paper and go "got it memorized?" ]

I'll make sure to write you lots of notes, so you can get the practice in.

[leaberator]

[ minato should do it. everyone in axel's life has mocked his catchphrase as it deserves ]

You plannin' on overwhelming me right from the get-go? Harsh.

[compendiem]

Yes.

[ He can be harsh. ]

You're smart, so you'll be just fine. If you feel overwhelmed, I can help. This sort of stuff gets easier with practice, right?

[leaberator]

So you're the relentless teacher type, I get it. Scary. I don't have any choice but to learn this as fast as I can, huh?

[compendiem]

Yeah. [ ... ] It's something to keep your mind off things, anyways. If you need it.

[leaberator]

[ ... ah. ]

Thanks. [ ... ] That something you need?

[compendiem]

...Sometimes. Distractions can be good, sometimes. And being with you is fun.

[leaberator]

I like hanging out with you too, kid.

[

hair ruffles ]

That's why I'm gonna work hard an' learn morse code, even though all I really wanna do is take a nap in these books.

[compendiem]

[ The hair ruffle makes him smile, and he doesn't bother fixing his hair afterwards, just lets it be a mess. ]

I want to nap for ten days too, but I'll work hard too. For you, and for all of us.

[leaberator]

Maybe one of these days, we can just take a nap together instead. That's a form of hanging out.

[ is he joking? maybe ]

[compendiem]

Okay. I'd like that.

[ Is Minato joking? No. ]

[leaberator]

Alright. Deal. Next time we wanna hang out, it's naptime.

[compendiem]

Deal. Which reminds me— Naminé and I are going to ask you something on Monday. I hope you say yes.

[leaberator]

[ ... ? ]

Um. Sure? Why Monday?

[compendiem]

We'll all be there for the cooking competition.

[ the answer is convenience ]

[leaberator]

[ um......... ]

What, am I judging it?
