Going to app him to poly_chromatic...

[sympathyforme]

Yo.

This isn't a good idea. But I suppose leaving Setsuna alone is an even worse one.

[He's blowing out smoke slowly, leaning back against the nearest vertical surface and not showing that he's in pain.]

Better hurry, then. Can't trust that idiot to behave himself for more than five minutes.

Comments

[sympathyforme]

[Silently, he considers for a moment. This place is strange and Setsuna has changed.]

I do what I want. The only thing stupid about it is you blaming yourself for it.

[beyourarmy]

You did it FOR me. I'm not such an idiot I didn't see that. You may have wanted to, but you made a stupid decision over me! Just like Kurai, just like Katou.

...just like Sara.

All of you might have your own agendas when you do, I get that, and you are making your own decisions - I don't force you to do it - but I can't take it anymore.

[i.e. He'll blame himself and hold himself responsible forever that he can't save them all from themselves.]

[sympathyforme]

[Oh boy.

He's just going to ruffle your hair.]

That's life, Set-chan. You're just so cute you can't stop people from caring about you~.

[Yes, he's trolling you. out of love]

[beyourarmy]

[He reaches up to grab that hand and make it stay.]

I can't, no. But I can ask they think of themselves, and I can try to stop them for doing stupid crap.

[sympathyforme]

[Doesn't bother trying to pull his hand back, just sort of...lets it hang there, tangled in Setsuna's hair.]

You never change.

[beyourarmy]

Neither do you. [It's slightly an accusation, slightly a hope Kira never will.]

[sympathyforme]

[He knows that's not true, but he's just teasing now, anyway.]

That would just be tampering with perfection.

[beyourarmy]

[To that Setsuna sticks his tongue out at Kira.]

My ass it is! You could do with some tampering.

[sympathyforme]

[Very mature, Setsuna. He's just going to pat your head again, since his hand is conveniently still there.]

Oh yeah? Enlighten me, I've never gotten any complaints before.

[beyourarmy]

How about stop worrying over me, for a start? [It was what Alexiel had wanted for herself, for Kira to stop living in a past with her. And now Setsuna can't deny he wants Kira back, but he also wants Kira SAFE.]

[sympathyforme]

Stop being worrisome.

[Setsuna really, really didn't stand a chance. There was stubbornness, there was obsession and then there was Kira, Lucifer, taking it beyond and above that.]

[beyourarmy]

I basically told you the same thing!

You're just as worrisome, pulling stupid stunts over stupid me!

[sympathyforme]

[Face of a repenting sinner, clearly.]

[beyourarmy]

Jackass.

[Even as he says that, he's reaching out one hand to curl in Kira's shirt.]

[sympathyforme]

Idiot.

[Going to hold him close with a hand in his hair. For now.]

[beyourarmy]

Please, don't go there. Rosiel's there.

[Why, no, he hasn't given up yet.]

[sympathyforme]

[Setsuna obviously is the worst at convincing Kira not to worry.]

I'll hurry.

[beyourarmy]

[Damn his mouth! Wrong thing to say, obviously.]

No! I mean it. Please, don't come. Come on. I'm asking NICELY!

[sympathyforme]

[There was literally no one Setsuna could've mentioned that would've made him more intent on getting there.]

Find a place to stay with enough space for me.

[beyourarmy]

You jerk! You just don't listen, do you?

[sympathyforme]

Mh-m.

Big bed.

[beyourarmy]

You can have your own bed! Unless we're poor. Then...I don't know! We'll think of something.

...there's nothing I can do, is there?

[sympathyforme]

I meant my own bed. You can stay on the floor if we're poor.

Nope. Just stay put till then.

[beyourarmy]

I am NOT sleeping on the floor!

And not doing that either. I can't just lay around and do nothing. I'll see you when you get here, though.

[sympathyforme]

Don't get into too much trouble.

See you soon.
