[swellter]

[ !!!

He writes everything down with a seriousness that almost masks his excitement at the virtual treasure trove he's come across! It takes him a few minutes, but he commits it all to memory and when he's done, he has a newfound need to see his brother. ]

Where is Touya?

[burnitblack]

[stop taking notes on his life. it's creepy...

scowling at the screen. guess every now and then he can act like a big brother.]

out.

[as said before.]

[swellter]

[ Says the serial killer. ]

Out where? Where can I find him?

[burnitblack]

[he's a villain. he has a pass.

... not gonna leave him alone, huh.]

where do you want to find him?

[swellter]

[ No one has a pass on killing.

Also, did you really expect him to take that question how you intended? He's an idiot, remember. ]

Where he is.

[burnitblack]

[no one has a pass on abuse, lying, and other crimes, but guess what. SOME people are allowed to. society simply opts to look the other way.

look, sometimes he can have a moment of testing the dumb waters.]

he's there.

[this is called trolling the baby.]

[swellter]

Where?

[ Like he knows what trolling is! ]

Text --> Video

[burnitblack]

[sometimes that ridiculous stupidity of yours is extremely exasperating.

have a video call instead.]

Whaddya want, Shouto?

Re: Text --> Video

[swellter]

[ He blinks in surprise, taking a moment to register the face on the screen.

Is that what the bot meant?

Where do you want him to be. ]

You’re here.

[ It’s been two months since he last saw him. ]

I thought you were out.

[burnitblack]

[touya's by a window, sunlight coming in, illuminating his face and the wisp of smoke from a cigarette dangling between two fingers nearby.]

I was.

[two months. whoopeedo. shouto's name never left the network, so he wasn't worried.]

Whatcha want?

[swellter]

[ His eyes drift to that cigarette, regarding it with subtle interest as the light beam puts it into focus. It’s the first time he’s seen him with one. ]

I wanted to talk to you.

[burnitblack]

[he doesn't smoke them regularly, since he has a semi-limited stock (even if said stock is ridiculously well-stocked). but it's there, making patterns in the air.]

You've been doin that since the start.

[swellter]

[ Since the start? Did he mean the bot he programmed? Shouto wouldn’t call that taking to him, but if he programmed it, then maybe it was the same from his perspective. He’s not going to argue with him, not about that. ]

I was a 5 year old for a month and then I fell asleep for a month.

[ Always straight to the point. ]

I woke up today and wanted to speak with you.

[ there’s a short pause after that, after which Shouto looks away from the screen as if self-conscious . ]

… I missed your birthday.

[burnitblack]

[good. he'd probably short circuit his little brain if touya told shouto he'd been "then bot" this entire time.]

is that where ya were? pretty fucked up.

[same. again with the obvious statement.]

so? i missed yours. we're even. move on.

[missed it deliberately, but whatever.]

[swellter]

[ He looks back at the camera, watching him with carefully guarded eyes. ]

I didn't mean to. I wanted to... say happy birthday to you.

[burnitblack]

[touya's not even looking at the screen, seemingly content to let his gaze stay out the window.]

It's just another day, Shouto. Nothin special.

[swellter]

[ Even if he doesn't look at him, he keeps his gaze on him. ]

It is to me.

[burnitblack]

Then why haven't ya said it yet? You've been talkin for a while now.

[swellter]

I... wanted to say it in person.

[burnitblack]

Okay. Set a time and place and ya can.

[swellter]

[ Immediately: ] Tomorrow at noon.

[ He needs time to get him a present. ]

[burnitblack]

Fine. And don't make a big deal outta it.

[which would include a present.]

[swellter]

I won't.

[ He 100% will! Time to go treasure hunting! ]

Wait--! Where do I meet you?


[ ooc; would you like me to put up a log? ]

[burnitblack]

[liar.

ah, where to meet... tsk.]

Remember that bar ya went to to meet me last time? There's fine.

[keep it simple.]



[ooc: handwaive it this time. gonna be busy with life this month.]
