[ "was it weird" would have been his next question, but he's glad fushimi's answered it already. ]

It's not strange... not to me. Just- [ he flaps a hand dismissively. ] okay, maybe it is strange.

[swordplays]

As strange as it is, it's something we need to get used to. If something like that happens again... it could be worse than this was.

[unswerved]

Hey.

[ oh no, this is a bad idea. this is a bad thing to ask... but he's so curious now. stupid midnight thoughts. ]

If I ever start acting weird because of this place, would you kill me?

[swordplays]

[He doesn't answer right away, mostly because it's a terrible question and he needs to process it. He's done a lot awful things to Yata before, of course. But even setting aside the fact that Yata literally saved his life, the very idea of willingly choosing to kill him almost makes Fushimi feel ill. If Yata thinks that that's even a possibility...] Misaki.

[He sits back up, pushing the covers off while turning away towards the edge of the bed and letting his feet rest on the floor.] Is that what you think? That it would be just that easy for me to kill you? [And now he's mumbling to himself, hunching his shoulders and frowning.] If that's the case, why even stay here?

[unswerved]

[ he laughs amiably and scratches his cheek. he sure has made this awkward, but at the same time, it was an honest question. he really was—is—curious... what would fushimi do if ceres took over his code and made him go rampant? ]

Heh. I was just askin'.

[ a beat, and he decides to deliver his point. ]

I mean, if CERES toys with my code or something. . . I don't really get that part much. . . but they can do that, right? I wouldn't wanna hurt anybody. And if I had to be stopped, then it'd be cool if you did it.

[swordplays]

[Nothing Yata is saying is making him want to stay, and since he's already halfway to getting up and going, it's tempting to just leave and maybe try to deal with this in the morning.

The urge to tell Yata what a damn fool he's being is also pretty huge, too, though. He stays where he is, not even bothering to turn back around.]

It would be cool if I murdered you? I don't care about whatever circumstances might come up and I don't care about anyone else here. You must be working overtime at being an idiot if you think for a second I'm going to be okay with something like that.

[unswerved]

[ then who's gonna kill yata if he does go on a murderous rampage?!?!?!? ]

I do have four jobs, and it's not as easy as being an eyeglasses model. . . [ his tone is soft when he speaks, and he tugs on the back of fushimi's shirt, too.

don't go, friend. ]

[swordplays]

[Nobody is killing Yata for any reason, not even a rampage.

He sighs, defeated. Even that small tug at his shirt is enough to get him to stay, so he moves, sliding back onto the bed and muttering to himself, though there isn't any real bite to it. Good thing it's dark, too, because he can smile a little bit as well.] Misaki would say stupid things even if he had zero jobs.

[unswerved]

[ dammit saru. don't smile when he can't see you! ]

Ah. That's— [ he's been had again. ] I guess. . .

[swordplays]

[He does what he wants. Including possibly stealing more blanket then he's entitled to, fight him.]

It's not too bad, though... being able to be around you a lot and hear all the things you say, even if some of those things are stupid questions.

[unswerved]

Heh.

[ this is now gossip time in the middle of the night. ]

If you think I'm dumb, you should check out this Jaune guy.

[swordplays]

[What else would two healthy?, young guys be doing in bed late at night besides gossiping???]

It's not a competition, Misaki.

[unswerved]

[ being freaky. in the sheets. ]

—gghk, I'm just saying.

I'm smarter.

[swordplays]

[Is that an invitation ///

But he's actually interacted with Jaune a little bit, and it's honestly a toss-up between the two for the title of biggest idiot.]

You're smart where it matters. Most of the time.

[unswerved]

[ he tugged on fushimi's shirt to take it off lbr here ]

Yeah! He should hear you say that.

[swordplays]

[Yata so bold. And also dumb. Fushimi has no desire to get into the middle of a Jaune and Yata battle over who's smarter.]

I think you can handle your own battles when it comes to people like him.

[unswerved]

[ a hand goes up to protest but it flops back down quickly on the sheets in defeat. ]

You can't even back me up on that one?

[swordplays]

[Well if he's going to be made to feel guilty about it... He sighs.]

If it happens to come up, I'll back you up.

[unswerved]

[ YES

YATA WINS ]

Awesome.

[ FISTBUMP ME IN THE DARK BRO ]

[swordplays]

[How is he supposed to do that in the dark?! But he can tell that Yata is pleased.]

Happy now?

[unswerved]

[ YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FEEL HIS TESTOSTERONE ]

Yeah! Definitely.

[swordplays]

[Gross.

He huffs, half out of exasperation, and half out of fondness.]

You're so easy to please that it's almost ridiculous.

[unswerved]

[ man, he'll drop his fist then. :( way to be an aomine, saru. ]

That's not a bad thing, though?

[swordplays]

[Wrong anime, man.]

No... it's something that I like about you.

[THINGS HE WOULD NEVER SAY WITH THE LIGHTS ON.]

[unswerved]

[ oh //// ]
