Don't order me around, Shouto. Ya sound like Enji.


If I want your help, I'll let ya know.

[swellter]

[ The snow leopards ears go down as if chastised and she presses against her Sleepers right leg. Blindly, Shouto’s reaches down to press a hand to her head, stroking down her back as he tries to confront that statement. ]

… I don’t like seeing you hurt.

[burnitblack]

[touya's given him permission a few times to help. and he hasn't said shouto couldn't ask if he wants help, or offer things (like the ill-fated jams). just not to push him if he says no.]

Lucky you, I don't feel pain anymore. So ya can stop guiltin over that.

[swellter]

It’s not guilt.

[burnitblack]

Whatever it is then.

[swellter]

Shigaraki already knew we were brothers. [ And Touga too, but he was blind at the time. ] So, I told my classmates about our relationship too.

They already knew.

[burnitblack]

Of course they knew! I told the whole damn world. Uploaded a video about it and broadcasted it during the war.

Who I was, the monster their "precious" Endeavor really is, his kids' purpose, every disgustin detail of our sordid family, all laid to bare in front of that hero-worshiping society.

Ya shoulda seen the look on dad's face. It was priceless! He couldn't accept it, just sat there sputterin and starin, refusin to accept the truth burnin him in the face. He was completely pathetic, so weak and broken.

God, it was such a rush. I don't think I've ever been happier in my entire life!

[swellter]

They hadn't reached that timeline yet.

[ Yet, somewhere along the way, they had all fast-forwarded in time leaving him behind. As for Touya's demeanor when recanting the tale, it leaves him feeling like he did that day at the hospital with no idea how to move forward only that he had to. With his thoughts still jumbled up inside him as when he first arrived in Trench, Shouto only has one thing to say. ]

I was there.

[ You tried to kill him. ]

[burnitblack]

Do I look like I care? They know.

[how they know is a big shrug. too many world travels he doesn't care to learn about.]

Were ya disappointed ya didn't get to do a big reveal?

[swellter]

[ He's going to pointedly ignore that first statement and get to what matters. ]

I told them we've been meeting in secret for some time now.

[ Considering he didn't tell them, he considers it 'in secret'. ]

They didn't like that I was meeting you alone without telling anyone.

[burnitblack]

So? Ain't any of their business.

[they didn't like a lot of things involving him.]

[swellter]

They're my friends. They're worried about me.

[ You know. That thing you've got going on with Shigaraki but won't admit too. ]

[burnitblack]

They'll worry about anythin. Got a lot worse here than me.

[oy, don't take what shigaraki says about him as truth for him...]

[swellter]

I know that, but they don't.

I told them you won't hurt kill me.

[burnitblack]

Ya ain't givin them much credit.

Doesn't matter if I kill ya or not; you'll just come back.

[swellter]

They want me to check in with them when I meet with you.

[burnitblack]

And ya tellin me why?

[swellter]

I don't want to do that.

[burnitblack]

[he's talking to an idiot...]

Then don't.

[swellter]

I also don’t want to worry them.

[burnitblack]

Stop tellin me what ya don't want and spit out what ya gonna do.

[swellter]

[ Is he provoking you? ]

I'm going to compromise.

I'll have Kizu contact them if you become a danger to me.

[burnitblack]

[ya getting "provoking" mixed up with "annoying" ... or "bothering" at that.]

I'm always a danger to ya.

[swellter]

I don't see it that way.

[burnitblack]

Ain't surprisin. You're a naive kid.
