[whup, holds on until he's on able to stand on the mattress

and then walks into Asura's line of sight and sits down because standing on a mattress still feels weird]

Not minding my own business is basically my whole deal.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

Well, that doesn't mean you're entitled to any answers from me. Much less at this hour.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

I'm not going to argue about entitlement. I don't have any problem admitting I'm being unreasonable. But so what? So are you.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

Except I'm not demanding anything from you nor inconveniencing you at every possible opportunity.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

Sorry, do you think deciding our relationship is simply over with no warning after lying to me for weeks isn't a constant inconvenience?

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

[shrugs]

You can find someone else to look at your "visions", I'm sure.

[DIGS HIS NAILS INTO ASURA'S KNEE THROUGH THE FABRIC AND STARTS TO CLIMB HIM LIKE A FURIOUS KITTEN]

This is about me caring about you and knowing you since I was six-fucking-teen you gargantuan asshole.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

—Ow. What are you doing?!

[SCRUFFS HIM LIKE YOU WOULD A FURIOUS KITTEN]

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

[scuffed, you have a dangling dragon man, his tail wraps up around Asura's fingers to help him feel less scuffed]

Explaining something that I thought was obvious, apparently! Do you know why I got so mad at the weird cupcake event yet?

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

[keeps him there, dangling]

I don't remember.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

I don't believe you, with a face like that.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

How is me lying to you for a few weeks any different from you lying to me about your real identity several times over, across a decade?

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

I'm not going to tell you that was different or better. But is that what this is about? You're mad I wasn't honest with you so you're getting revenge?

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

[puts him down on the bed again]

No, but you're the one who keeps bringing it up.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

Because I'm pissed off about it, among other things. You can call me a hypocrite if you want. But I'm not saying you don't have your own right to be mad.

Now, back to the cupcake thing. To stir your memory, I got Mad because I told you to your face I kept that letter from you because it reminded me of you, you insisted over and over again that I somehow meant as some kind of trophy for a long con and refused to believe that maybe it was a nice thing I got during a hard time in my life and that meant something to me.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

Oh.

[a long moment of silence. thinking. he almost says something a couple of times there, but in the end doesn't]

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

[takes a deep breath and lets it out]

And I'm bringing it up because you did it again just now. So let me state it clearly and you know I can't lie. I wasn't using you as a means to find out what was in my visions, I was using my visions as an excuse to talk to you.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

[his eyebrows furrow just the slightest, and he does indeed watch Booker closely for the smallest indication of electrocution, but it doesn't happen.


a quiet, annoyed sigh.]


The person you cared about is no longer here.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

Bullshit. That's not how it works. The person I care about hates himself and wants to be someone else, sure. But you're still him.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

[huffs]

If you think Asura would have been capable of half or more the things I've been saying and doing lately, then I'm afraid you never knew him as well as you think.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

Everyone's capable of change. You think I was born an asshole? Obviously not, I decided to be one after I saw what people pleasing got me.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

And what I'm saying is that the person I am now is not interested in being friends with you. I told you as much before.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

And what I'm telling you is that doesn't change anything for me and I'm not going to pretend like it does.

Do you still care about me?

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

No.
