But it sounds like bullshit!

[sweatypalms]

What's it matter?!

[secare]

Because it's your life, Yato!!

You can't just try to throw it away like this!

[sweatypalms]

I'm not throwing anything away! You know it's always temporary, I'm not gonna disappear!

I can handle it no matter what that bitch pulls, [ nothing's going to be as bad as Corpsequest, surely ] so stop worrying about it.

[secare]

You are! What am I supposed to do if something happens? Just watch you die? It doesn't make it any better that you come back! It's still fucking scary!

( PUFFING UP. )

I can handle dying better! I've died before!

[sweatypalms]

[ shuts his mouth, glancing away... ]

[sweatypalms]

That doesn't mean anything. I've died, too.

[ which Yukine only knows because Mushy spilled the beans, back then. thanks, Mushy.

but at least this time, it'd be on his own terms, in a way. if it's a choice between scaring Yukine, or watching Yukine die... well, the answer remains obvious. ]

It's gonna be fine. Right now, just think of a good offer.

[secare]

No, no way! I won't accept this!

( he's not getting teary, there's just sweat in his eyes!! his fists ball at his sides. )

It's not going to be fine! You can't die for me!

[ doesn't move, just staring down at the floor. GOD, EMOTIONS, WHY... ]

[sweatypalms]

Even if it's just for today, trust me, okay?

[secare]

No, fuck you! You're the least trustworthy!!

( PUNCHING HIM. )

[sweatypalms]

[ OW!!!! WHO WOULD'VE EXPECTED---??

bonks his head into the wall. ]

[secare]

( KICKING HIM!! WHILE HE'S DOWN!! )

I'm sick of your shit!

[sweatypalms]

[ GOD ABUSE??!!?? ]

Hey, hey--!

[secare]

Shut up!

( kick, kick!! )

There's no time for your whining!

[sweatypalms]

[ grabbing for his foot!! ]

Hey, c'mon!!

Focus, would ya--!

[secare]

Fuck off! You're the one who isn't focused!!

( AIMING FOR THE FACE!!! )

You're too busy trying to make shitty decisions!!

[sweatypalms]

Yukineee-- Ow-!

[ WASTED ]

[secare]

Shithead.

( relenting!! to go sit on the floor. to sulk. )

[sweatypalms]

[ remains lying on the floor. ]

[sweatypalms]

Yukine...

[secare]

What?

[sweatypalms]

[ ...there are many things he could say right now. some things he probably should say, and some things Yukine likely wouldn't want to hear.

but the one that seems most pressing is: ]

What're you offering...?

[secare]

You're the worst.

( not looking at him, just raking a hand through his hair. )

I'm going to offer up warmth and the need to eat.

[sweatypalms]

[ he knows! ]


Warmth, huh...

[ that sounds pretty awful.

but if it's what Yukine wants to do...

he goes quiet. thinking, maybe. ]
