We're not... together. I mean—we haven't—we're friends, and we talk about things, and—kiss, sometimes. That's it. And some of what I talked to him about was you.

You won't talk to me about this kind of thing, so how should I know what your feelings about it would be?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You don't princess carry someone you're platonic with.

[rollplayinghouse]

[raises her eyebrows]

That sounds like an admission about some of the early parts of our relationship.

[a small sigh]

...I like him. He's fun to be with. I wouldn't mind more, but it's not romantic. Is that a problem...? Are you jealous of him, or me?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What?

You have to ask me questions now?

When you were so sure how I played in the last game? I thought you knew everything about me.

[rollplayinghouse]

I didn't say I knew everything about you. I just know you well enough that that much was obvious.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

My point still stands.

Answer you own damn question.

[rollplayinghouse]

...If I had to guess, yes, it's a problem, and you're jealous of both of us. Or, maybe more like possessive...?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Makes no indication if she is hot, cold, right or wrong]

[rollplayinghouse]

[that means she's right]

Well, it's not like I didn't guess you'd be already. You're possessive even when I just like someone else and aren't even doing anything.

...But, you once told me to be more unreasonable, didn't you...? To get you to act how I wanted.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Is this was that is?

You aren't doing anything?

[rollplayinghouse]

...No, I'm definitely doing something now.

[He laughs.

And laughs and laughs and laughs and laughs and laughs and laughs and laughs and laughs---]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What did you ask me before? "What would you do without me?"

[rollplayinghouse]

[slightly concerning]

...King isn't a replacement for you.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'm sure you told A the same thing.

[rollplayinghouse]

[blinks]

You're really actually worried about it...

Do you think I'd let you go that easily?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'll break all your fingers if you try to keep me somewhere I don't want to be.

[rollplayinghouse]

[. . .

This is not how she expected this to go]

Then let me ask you a question. Can you do the same thing the other way around...?

Tell me how I feel about you and King. Is he a replacement for me?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Surprise. His default state is actually asshole. There’s a reason Req and Doodles don’t want him in the dorm]

I thought you weren’t a jealous person, Maki.

[rollplayinghouse]

That's what I told you. Do you think that's wrong? Or, if I'm not jealous, what do I think?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I think that you can't stand to be alone. Otherwise why would you take a new person home every time I'm upset at you?

[rollplayinghouse]

...I don't do that. And either way, that's not an answer to my question. What do I think about you and King?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Don't know. Don't care.

I don't make it my business to try to sort out you and your million feelings.

[sighs]

I'll just tell you, then.

I don't have any idea what you have with King. It frustrates me that you don't tell me anything. But, I'm still glad there's someone else you care about who can be there for you, at least a bit.

And, as far as our relationship goes, ultimately it doesn't matter much what you have with him. Because you've been there for me in the worst times. You've stayed with me, even when I've hurt you, because you wanted to. You told me I was your equal and I could l do what I wanted, even without you. I've seen parts of you, and you've revealed parts of me, that no one else has. You can't even compare it to me and A, or me and Joker. You can't compare it to X, or Mars, or anyone else... it's stupid to even suggest it. And you can't compare it with King, either.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I love you. I may not really know what love is, but when I think about you, and what you've done for me, and how I feel when we're together, and how much more I want to do with you... that's the only word I can use to describe it. And I have so much more that I want to show you I can do.
