Array 024 [Accidental Video Post]

[bloodseal_soul]

[There's a bump and the PCD clatters on what seems to be the surface of a counter, landing sideways and getting a relatively good view of Alphonse Elric, topless. His hair is damp and out of its customary ponytail, and he looks like he's fresh from the bath

I guess that was accidental, wasn't it?

[bloodseal_soul]

Yes. Stupid thing.

[highland_sword]

It seems that that really happens to many people here. I hope it doesn't happen with me. Since I'm not too familiar with it myself...

[bloodseal_soul]

I don't wish it on anyone else. I'm just glad my stuff wasn't as embarrassing as Itachi's.

[highland_sword]

I guess so. Mister Itachi's had been very... well, indiscret.

[bloodseal_soul]

Itachi is Itachi. He's impossible, unpredictable, infuriating, and a total jerk. But I can't help liking him.

[highland_sword]

That bad? I didn't have any contact with him...
How did you come to like him than?

[bloodseal_soul]

Yeah, nobody gets me to lose my temper like he can... a few weeks and he knows all the right buttons to press to make me angry with him. Sometimes he'll do it without even trying...

... I was stubborn. And he's all right, really.

[highland_sword]

Loose your temper? Wow. I think I've never seen you angered... with the exception for the Joker.

Hm...

[bloodseal_soul]

Oh, believe me. Itachi has gotten me to say worse to him than I have to the Joker. Of course, that was in private.

... but yeah, usually I'm almost never angry... Itachi just likes pushing me.

[highland_sword]

Wow. I guess he must have some skills at provoking than. Does he like it when you are angry?

[bloodseal_soul]

He says he takes me more seriously when I am.

[highland_sword]

That sounds... rather mean to me. Does it mean he doesn't take you seriously when you aren't angry? But somehow familiar... in a way.

[bloodseal_soul]

He can be mean, but he's also been kind to me when I least expected it and most needed it.

I think it's more about being "strong" than being angry.

Familiar?

[highland_sword]

I see. Than it's no surprise that you like him.

So he wants you to be stronger?

Someone I once worked for told me... something similar.

[bloodseal_soul]

I liked him a bit before then, but much more after that. On some level it's actually kind of fun, being able to blow off steam emotionally.

I guess so.

Then maybe there's something to it.
