proooooobably going to havenrpg

[shoved]

Well, look at you! All this talk about the future and big, important plans even though we've only been together a month, if that! I think we're moving a little too fast, for my money, but I guess you lucked out if that's the type of girl you are. I never said I didn't like it.

...Kidding, kidding! Yeesh, you're no fun. I thought that's what we were supposed to be about: having fun. 'course if that was all you wanted to do, you wouldn't be looking at a place like this. Evil corporations, monsters, ghosts... Didn't I say I was done with that stuff? It's almost like you want me to cause trouble for the sake of it.

That's not something I'd want.

[Not something you should want either, if you know what's good for you. A thin, weary frown.]

Just what is it that you're hiding this time, Adachi-san?

[shoved]

Of course it isn't. I'd almost forgotten what kind of person you were.

[three guesses as to what that might be. the first two don't count.]

Hello to you, too. Seriously, do I even have to open my mouth anymore? Is that how it's always going to be?

[shuffletime]

That all depends on you.

[He'll try again, a bit less interrogative this time.]

It doesn't have to be like that if you don't want it to be. We might be stuck in the same boat, from the look of it.

[They could help each other instead of fighting it out. It still kind of hurts, knowing they can never truly go back to those days when they actually used to get along. Believing in each other. But some things, you just can't take back.]

[shoved]

Says the brat who's trying to throw his weight around like it means something. All ninety pounds of it.

[yeah, you can tell he's really hurt by that. seriously. look at that lone tear trickling down his cheek.]

What, you want me to make nice just because the big guy upstairs was dumb enough to think this was a good idea? [he snorts.] Give me a break. At least ask me to do something reasonable.

[shuffletime]

I'm trying. Might not be such a bad idea for you to do the same.

[Try, Adachi. Try to be reasonable. Try to cooperate. Or at the very least, don't try his patience.]

[shoved]

Been there, done that. Didn't work out the first time as well as you'd think.

[shuffletime]

Then maybe it's time you learned from it.

[shoved]

Save it for when you actually know if you're coming or going. It bums me out like you wouldn't believe when people make promises they can't keep.

[shuffletime]

I'm not that kind of person. But don't try and make this about me.

[Yu grits his teeth.]

This is about you. About the promise you made. You said you'd abide by the rules of our world. Remember?

[shoved]

I'm barely even trying. You're already doing such a good job of that yourself.

[likewise, Adachi's lips draw thin, a dry line against his face.]

Sure I do. That hasn't changed.

[shuffletime]

Good. 'Cause even if it's not our world we find ourselves in, those rules still apply. If you start toying with the people that are stuck there or do anything to hurt them -

[Now there's a look Adachi might not have seen in a while. There's fire in Yu's eyes now.]

- then I'll make sure you answer for it.

[Again. Simple as that.]

Understand?

[shoved]

[oh my god. just what episode of Featherman R did he rip that from? Adachi almost looks stunned for a moment, not out of fear or anything like that, but out of sheer, hilarious surprise that Yu went that far.]

Wow, um. Okay. Points for not reusing your old speech from before, I guess. That would've been...annoying. Shounen Jump is as good a source as any to take inspiration from, I guess.

[he's trying not to let his lips quiver from all this laughter he's holding in. give him a sec.]

But seriously, I never said I wasn't holding up my end of the deal. That was never an issue. I'm not the one you should be worried about here.

[shuffletime]

[That weary frown of his isn't going anywhere, but he at least seems to have simmered down a bit. It's important to stay calm, especially in a situation like this. Where Adachi's aggravating the issue at hand and being difficult just for the sake of being difficult.]

Let's hope not.

[For everyone's sake.]

ARE you causing trouble?

[Sorry, outside games, Dojima knows who was at fault...]
