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:]

[How can he forget? It's one of those times that says so much about their relationship. After the draft, he had wanted nothing more than to snuggle up and sleep next to Hisoka until the pain went away. If he's quite honest with himself, he still wants that some days.]

This isn't some kind of revenge on him, right? I know you're possessive of him.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[That's because Tsuzuki always expects too much. He's bound to be disappointed.]

I'm not possessive! Why do you always assume things that aren't true?

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[He's not expecting it, he's hoping for it. That won't make him any less disappointed, though. ]

Don't be angry. I understand it can't have been fun for you.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

Life isn't about having fun.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

It's not about pushing everyone away, either.

....How's Cake doing?

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

...

Tsuchimikado is a cat. He's asleep. Isn't that obvious?

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

I thought he might just be faking it.

[As if it's a completely normal to go from petting a cat to petting a person, Tsuzuki ruffles Hisoka's hair.]

But I guess he must be exhausted. He's not that old, and he's played all day.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[It might be when that person recoils with swatting.]

You think about the dumbest things.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[Tsuzuki would switch tactics to going for Hisoka's wing instead, but he doesn't want him to jump up and frighten the cat.]


Not all the time.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[This is a very solid and very true way to think about things.]

Just most.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[Besides, he reasons that cuddling can happen once they go to bed.]

I mean, I think Foot will love you for giving him the name of an emperor.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[Not tonight it's not.]

It's not my business to care about what Foot thinks of me.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[But snuggle time is the best time of the day. Night. You know what I mean.]

You made her happy, that's what's important. You did a good thing.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[Ew that's weird.]

She's just a cat. It's just a name. Stop making a big deal out of everything.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[Just wait, he'll hug the weird out of Hisoka one day.]

I was just saying that I liked what you did. Was that so wrong?

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[That. Sounds messy.]

It's the sort of thing people generally don't talk about.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[Hopefully it won't be squishy.]

But sometimes it's worth mentioning.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[Ewwwwwwwww.]

What's the point?

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[There might be kissing involved, too. If he's very daring.]

It might make more people realize you have a big heart.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[EWW GROSS. COOTIES.]

And why would I care what other people think of me?

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[COOTIES OF LOVE.]

It will give you peace of mind.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[YUCK.]

I've got plenty of peace.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[They're an acquired taste.]

There're other reasons, too.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

Like what?

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[He strokes a few strands of hair away from Hisoka's face.] To feel like you belong somewhere, I guess. People tend be more accepting of people who does kind things.
