Fuda # 26 | [video] The cake is not a lie.

[idealism]

[The feed begins shakily, because Tsuzuki is trying to use it has a camcorder.]Be careful with him. He's still just a baby.

[Hisoka sounds exasperated, flipping a page in his book. Tsuzuki lifts his journal so he comes into focus: one of Hisoka's wings is clearly missing.] Tsuzuki, all cats land on their feet.


Are you sure? I mean, what if it's -





[Tsuzuki jumps out of his chair, putting his journal down briskly. From the camera's view, it looks like the world is turned upside down.] Poor Cake!

[The kitten is nowhere in sight. A confused mewling comes from beneath the couch. Why did the ground try to swallow him, humans? D:]

[Siiiiiigh. Little Emperors really shouldn't go around thrusting their bellies in the air.] I suppose it can't be helped. [That may be directed at Tsuzuki and Kittenface both.]

[Little emperors need a lot of attention in order to grow bored of it. He bumps his cool little nose against Hisoka's fingers, very close to licking them. Mommy has taught him how to wash himself, so why shouldn't he help?] I guess not.

How many books have you managed to read so far?

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[This cat needs to stop being so adorable gdi.]

I haven't kept track.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[That sounds like a request for more kitten nuzzling.]

It's probably about a million, huh.

Have you ever read to people?

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[Sob. Fine.]

Why would I ever? [PFFF. Reading is not something to be shared.]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[Hisoka will love his little emperor and he will like it. :|]

It probably makes the story feel more alive. [He touches the page reverently, wondering how different it is from the original language.]

I can read to you sometime, if you want.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[What is love.]

Please don't.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[Baby don't hurt me Tsuzuki looks up to him, a mischievous look in his eyes.]

Or you could read to me.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

No.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Please? I'll make it up to you.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

You're perfectly capable of reading your own books, Tsuzuki.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'd make them sound better.

[A pause.]

Did you ever talk with Draco about his vampire?

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't worry about things that aren't your business.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[With a huff, he pulls himself up into the couch.]

Hisoka, it is my business. I don't want Draco to get hurt, either.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

I'm going to take care of it, okay?

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[Oh hai, cat, how about some extra cuddles? Tsuzuki scratches Cake behind his ear.]

What are you planning to do?

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

I'm planning to take care of it. Stop asking questions.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Hisokaaaaa.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

I mean it.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Don't you trust me anymore?

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

...That's a stupid question, Tsuzuki.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

I'm just saying, it would be reckless to let you deal with the vampire alone. We're partners, aren't we?

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

After the week we just had, you'd doubt me now?

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

I'm not doubting you, 'Soka. [His left hand rests on Hisoka's arm.]

Considering the other week, I'm just wondering why you're so determined to do this alone.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

I don't want anyone to get unnecessarily involved. That's all.
