[UGH]

It's not like you meant to be a pain or anything, probably! I can punch you, but I'm not gonna do it out of surprise!

[enfangs]

Who the hell winces out of surprise?

[sengokus]

[SOMETIMES it is a combination of surprise and hurt]

I mean I'm not just gonna hit you out of nowhere just for kind of being a jerk!

If you wanna spar or something, just say so!

[enfangs]

People being a jerk is exactly why you deck 'em! Do you usually just let people walk all over you?

[sengokus]

There's a difference between someone who's just being prickly and an actual asshole.

[IF FRIENDSHIP WITH TAKERU HAS TAUGHT HIM ANYTHING IT'S THIS]

[enfangs]

[white pauses for a moment, thinking over this, and decides he can't relate.]

Tch. I really don't get people like you.

[sengokus]

R-Really? I think that's the first time someone's said that to me...

[he's normally called the straightforward and stupid one]

[enfangs]

You're a pushover.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he actually looks thoughtful about it.]

.... I guess I can see how it comes off that way....

[but something in his tone sounds like he disagrees]

[enfangs]

[a scoff]

Then, how do you see it?

[sengokus]

... I've been called really stubborn before - an idiot with a one-track mind, like it was my only good trait.

So I don't think I'm a pushover about everything... but this isn't something to be stubborn over. It's not like you're actually trying to give me a hard time, right?

[he'll wince when he's insulted - but he at least bounces back quick, given that he's pretty sure white isn't actually trying to hurt him or anything]

[enfangs]

[...]

So you're just a goody-two-shoes, then.

[sengokus]

[well

that actually makes him laugh - a mostly genuine noise as he shakes his head, only slightly tinged with something awkward]

No way, I'm not that either.

[enfangs]

[white raises an eyebrow.]

[sengokus]

If anything, I'm honored you think I'm that good!

[it wasn't meant as a compliment, mineo]

Come on, man, I just don't think you're that bad so there's no reason for me to get pissed.

[enfangs]

This isn't convincing me that you're not a pushover.

[sengokus]

You're just coming off as super edgy, dude.

[enfangs]

Shut up!

[sengokus]

Well it's true!

[UNREPENTANTLY]

I guess some people like that sort of thing?

[BEING EDGY?]

[enfangs]

What? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

[sengokus]

That there's all sorts out there.

And you're at least not even the most difficult person in this place, so you're good.

[enfangs]

That doesn't even sound like a compliment.

[sengokus]

If I complimented you, you'd just call me sappy again, I'm not falling for this trap!

[enfangs]

[...

he pauses because mineo's not wrong.]

[sengokus]

You were really setting me up to fail....
