[powerisyours]

[ yawns and just going back to what he was doing. too exhausted ]

Sorry.

[hotshotlightning]

[taking in that exhaustion now] You don't look so good. Something happen?

[powerisyours]

Takeru's an idiot.

[ because that explains everything ]

[hotshotlightning]

[not as much as you'd think] What'd he do?

[powerisyours]

He's got it in his head that he doesn't need anyone or anything anymore.

[ kind of mumblymurmuring and still cuddling against you ]

[hotshotlightning]

[petting your hair awkwardly] Well, that sucks.

[powerisyours]

I'm going to punch him when he gets back. [ right after I get my strength back, yup ]

[hotshotlightning]

Might want to make sure you can stand up first, otherwise punching's not happening.

[prods you a little harder but not by much] Why're you so wiped?

[powerisyours]

Not as bad as I could be. [ no, that was before he got back to the cabin ]

[ also batting at your hand weakly ] I made a fantastic hypocrite of myself.

[hotshotlightning]

Uh huh.

[ugh, fine, no more poking] How'd you do that?

[powerisyours]

[ and no fucks are given because he's still snugglin' ]

By doing the exact same thing I get on his case about.

[hotshotlightning]

[sighs and moves his arm so you can snuggle better if you want to]

By deciding you don't need anyone?

[powerisyours]

[ good. ain't movin'. ]

By overworking myself to the point of collapse.

[hotshotlightning]

[that much he figured]

What happened to just beating up a punching bag until you feel better?

[powerisyours]

My intention had merely been to blow off some steam, not to incapacitate myself. The limit to the extent I can use Yi Neng here is not the same as it is at home. I just know what that limit is, now.

[hotshotlightning]

Yeah, that worked out well, I can tell.

[powerisyours]

I already got the "boys are stupid" lecture and ear-twisting from Hina.

[hotshotlightning]

Been over this already then, huh.

[eyebrows go uuup] Ear twisting?

[powerisyours]

I know fully well what I did wrong and why it was wrong. I won't deny any of it.

[ snuzzles closer ] I think I got off easy, coming from someone who could probably throw me 50 metres, easy.

[hotshotlightning]

Good. I don't need to give you the talk about handling it better, then.

[you really like your snuggling, huh] Sounds like it. And I think I need to meet Hina as well, we can compare notes.

[powerisyours]

Like I said, it hadn't been my intention. I know full well what happens to me when I use up all of my Yi Neng.

[ yes. yes i do. blame takeru ] She's sweet. Her older brother is here, too. They're both pretty nice and level-headed.

[hotshotlightning]

[pats your head amiably] Good.

[i'm supposed to believe you didn't like cuddling before?] They sound like good people.

[powerisyours]

[ kind of enjoying the headpets actually ] I know when to admit I'm wrong, is all.

[ i was cuddle-deprived before i got here, okay ] Mm. Shingo's about your age, I think. Hina's a couple of years older than me. Fashion designer.

[hotshotlightning]

That's a good thing. It can be hard sometimes, admitting you're wrong.

A fashion designer in a place like this? She can't have much to do. [like he can talk, though]

[powerisyours]

I wouldn't be very good at my job if I didn't know my own faults and weaknesses.

She's holding a fashion show in about two weeks. I'm supposed to model for her. [ hey wait. you are also a reasonable attractive dude ] . . . Would you be interested in modeling? She's looking for a couple more people.
