#50 -- Quit underestimating us (Radio Memory)

[inthecenterfold]

[A chair's legs are coming up & down off the floor, the sound of tape-wrap coming off the roll can be heard, and the definite rustling of clothing alongside two men shouting]

That hurts, dickwad! Wrap with goddamn care! [This is Smoke's voice, loud and clear]

This is nothin'! Deal with it! I already said -- now, now -- should do it an' not me! [

[ ... That was so fucked up. How can he even. ]

[ He'll just go in order from the most to least tsundere response to give. ]

Smoke is a pervert.

[inthecenterfold]

Man you too?

... Ah well, fine, sure, I'm a pervert. Been called worse.

[andcountry]

Heh. [smiles] Not that I hold it against you, or anything.

[ A quiet sigh ]

... I'm sorry. That... I don't know what any of it really meant, but it sounds...

[ A less-innocent person would say 'fucked-up' ]

... difficult.

I would rather that you were merely a pervert.

[inthecenterfold]

That was actually good for me to hear. It means they survived.

[andcountry]

Really? [ beams ] That's good, then!

[inthecenterfold]

Last I remembered, I was dragging both of their unconscious, bleeding asses away from a really rough battle. I'd hoped they survived, but this is a bit better.

[You know, except for the fact that this happened more than once lol and his mental timeline's screwed up haha]

[andcountry]

Yeah, I guess so.

[inthecenterfold]

You sound so surprised. [And he's surprised your surprised lol]

[andcountry]

I'm not sure if I can explain why. You don't seem to me like the kind of person who has had a sordid past life.

[inthecenterfold]

You mean I hide it well? [Why must you use big words, little man?]

[andcountry]

I mean that you'll always just be my big brother.

[ just so you know, Smoke. Even if he ends up being way older than you. :D ♥ Not this will ever become relevant to your relationship, nooooo. ]

[inthecenterfold]

[ The other end goes completely silent as he takes that in ]

[andcountry]

[ ... WHY IS IT QUIET NOW? ]

[ FLAILS AWKWARDLY. ]

Ummmmmmmmmmm...!

[inthecenterfold]

I--

Even with 'that' kind of past, huh? [You hit his sentimental bone :( ]

[andcountry]

Um... Why not?

I like who you are now. Whatever kind of life you used to lead doesn't need to enter into that, does it?

[Way to say just the right thing, kid]

Sounded like you, uh... didn't like something about that past or something.
