Well that's too bad, because it's happening!

[and he just huffs before reaching out with his hand to tap his knuckles against white's shoulder]

And it won't come down to a choice, so it doesn't matter! We'll all get our wishes.

I just didn't want to lie to you about how I was feeling.

[...]

Asshole. You're a moron, you know that?

That's what everyone says but I thought this one made sense....

[ . . . . he sighs.]

I'm not an officer anymore - but it's pretty much a given that I used to be in danger everyday. I was alright with that, so long as I knew that I was helping people. The only reason I was so afraid of dying was because I thought my life really amounted to nothing.

Being here... made me feel like that's not true anymore.

That's all it is.

... Yeah, you better have changed your mind on that.

[if mineo still thinks his life amounted to nothing, then they have all failed him, really.

he takes a sip from his drink, before muttering—]

Still a hypocrite, though.

.... I did.

[and he'll just accept the insult with a little bit of a sad smile before bumping his shoulders against white's]

And hey, at least I got to meet you.

[he can't help but lean a little into the gesture, unfortunately.]

... Well. Same here, I guess.

[!!!!!!!

WOW

HE LOOKS REALLY SURPRISED]

Really?!

Why the hell do you look so surprised by that!?

Because even if I could guess, you're never that straightforwardly nice to me!

[BUT HE DOES honestly look really happy it's terrile]

[hate how cute that icon is

anyway. he looks away.]

Geez, you don't need to get all weird about it...!

[accept that he's just a baby]

But I like when you're nice to me...

S-Shut up!

[continues looking away and gulps down his drink]

[mineo's just laughing at that]

Well, it was nice while it lasted....

... Whatever! I'm plenty nice to you.

[ :/ ]

[

quietly sips his tea and does not respond]

—Why don't you just say what you're thinking, huh!? Asshole!

[ - okay, he ends up breaking into a laugh at that]

I'm just kidding...

[and unfortunately he is]

I'd have to be blind for real to not know how much you look out for me. I just wanted to tease you a little.
