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:]

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

Just most.

[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.

[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.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

I don't need to be accepted by anyone. [He's jerking his head away from the contact.]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[Why so grumpy, grumpypants.]

Don't you get lonely?

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

Never. There's nothing wrong with being alone.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

I didn't say 'alone'. I said lonely.

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

Loneliness is a stupid concept in the first place.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it's impossible to get away from it. [He recalls the hospital, and how that yawning loneliness had swallowed him up. It really would have helped to have a cat like Cake there.] Unless you have a persistent partner, that is.
