I can show you something to fear more if you want.

[ he says, but when tobari looks at his face, his ears are a little red before, he's pushing a hand in his face. ]

[ RAF YOU ARE SO CUTE

tobari laughs again, which is sorely necessary for him, and he’ll just let his fingers catch raf’s wrist so he doesn’t push on his face anymore ]

Pass.

Anyway I’m glad for you. You looked happy.

[ even if it’s also extremely embarrassing ]

You think me being tormented was happy? Maybe you need to get your eyes checked.

[ but, thanks for giving him some breathing room in theory.

he's still a little red, but he is dropping his arm. albeit, a bit self-consciously. it feels weird to be close to him after all of that, and it's like this realization is now piled upon... his biggest shame.

he has to pout now... i don't make the rules ]

[ pouty sulky baby.............

unfortunately tobari just thinks this continues to be hilarious. he doesn't feel any type of self-conscious that rafayel does, easy-going ]

You seemed pretty into her, so I figure any time is worthwhile. Even if it means you're getting bullied. Tough life, but seems like a price you're willing to pay.

[ he doesn't argue that point, but also— ]

Puh-lease. More like she's the one who can't get enough of me. [ but, his lips do twitch just a little, like he's trying to bite back a smile. he's obvious... ] But, what about you? Do you have someone like that?

[ shakes his head ]

Not possible given my position.

[ at the same time that thoughtshare doxxes She's better off with someone else. ]

[ at the doxxing...

normally he'd laugh, but as it stands, he just gives a knowing smile. ] I don't think that's true. [ a shrug. ] We make time for what we love, and... I think anyone would be pretty happy if they're with you.

[ i saw this tag and thought it was so cute but also laughed thinking about tobari's canonpoint which you've now seen,

it's why when he smiles, it's just a little more distant. not by much, but as if something's on his mind ]

Sweet words freely given to a troublemaker like me, huh?

I'm always sweet.

[ it's an easy retort, entirely blind to what tobari is really going through.

albeit, he's sure tobari says the words he does with reason. maybe reasons not unlike all of why he's avoided coming to linkon city for as long as he had. ] Besides, even troublemakers need some TLC.

[ idly ]

You're being kind of fussy....

[ which is a funny role reversal because normally tobari's the fucking busybody ]

Something tells me that's pretty insulting coming from you...

If I remember correctly, someone who here a week ago begging for me to teach someone to flirt? [ no one was begging...

but, he wants his revenge for earlier. ]

'Begging' is a strong word.

[ by a lot ]

I'm also second-guessing my decision now...

[ raf wants revenge but tobari is still shooting? ]

You're right, I should have said, "begging on their knees."

[ lol. ]

Hey, no takebacks.

You don't need to admit to your daydreams so easily.

[ but he raises a brow ]

I don't know if we should be teaching Tokinaga this kind of behavior, being pushy for pets and all...

You try being a monster for a day. You'll see that you like a few pets too.

[ actually, going to threateningly hold his fingers out like he's going to pet tobari. ]
