...Haseo.

Skeith's been hiding something from you. Go on. Ask him.

Ask him about Sora...

I can't stop...

....I'd rather cut out my own tongue than keep talking...

Kaoru..!

This fog is fucked up--pardon my French--and I can't stop saying stuff I don't want to!!

Are you okay??

[witheredblade]

...

I'm not okay. I'm scared. I've kept so m

[[he sent it before he could say anything incriminating.]]

[superficialness]

...

I'm here, Kaoru. I'll always be here for you. So, it'll be okay.

[witheredblade]

...I betrayed you, Keigo. Your friendship. And I'm sorry.

[superficialness]

...? Betrayed me? How?

Oh good he had the sense to make it [LOCKED TO KEIGO]

[witheredblade]

...Somewhere along the way, I allowed my dependance on you to cross a line it never should have.

I don't want to tell you. I never wanted to say anything...

[[.... I knew the 'truth' thing was a bad idea. Oh well. HE CAN'T DANCE AROUND SAYING IT FOREVER, I GUESS.]]

WELL THAT'S GOOD [PRIVATE: KAORU]

[superficialness]

...?? What do you mean? I don't understand! It doesn't bother me that you're dependent on me sometimes! It makes me feel important!

..Geh.

... I don't think it can be anything bad, Kaoru. Whatever it is won't make me stop caring about you.

[ BAWWW I THINK I KNOW WHERE THIS IS HEADED MAYBE ]

[Private to Keigo]

[witheredblade]

...I'm so sorry... But I really... Don't want to tell you how much I've grown to care for you...

[[D: D: D: HE DOESN'T WANT TO. HE'S USING EVERYTHING HE HAS IN HIM TO NOT SPECIFICALLY SAY IT. .....Oy. He's lame.]]

[PRIVATE: KAORU]

[superficialness]

...? B-but.. How is that bad? I care about you a lot, too!

[ POOR KEIGO IS SO DUMB WHEN IT COMES TO MATTERS LIKE THIS 8| 8| 8| SORRY ENDRANCE D: ]

[Private to Keigo]

[witheredblade]

...

You're far more than a friend to me, Keigo. You've done so much for me and...

...I'm sorry. The nature of a 'friendship' is ruined by such things... I don't deserve to be forgiven.

[[SLIGHTLY MORE BLUNT. xDDD;; And he'll get over it. Maybe. 8|;; ]]

[PRIVATE: KAORU]

[superficialness]

...

W-wait. So.. you're saying... That you...

You like me? Like.. like me??

[ KEIGO GETS IT NOW kind of 8|;; ]

[Private to Keigo]

[witheredblade]

... Something similar, I think...

...I'm sorry.

[PRIVATE: KAORU]

[superficialness]

...

.. I. .. I don't understand why...! I'm not ... I never thought... Even though I blab about how I think I'm attractive, I don't really think that at all! Gah, this sucks. I-I.. I'm not a good person, either! I'm superficial and.. I...

I.. I just don't understand, but.. That doesn't mean I think less of you for it. It.. It doesn't upset me.. It doesn't make me mad... I'm just shocked.

[Private to Keigo]

[witheredblade]

...You've done a lot for me, Keigo. You're a stronger person than I am... I've managed to collect my own strength from others for so long, but you, like Haseo, have shown the benefit of personal strength.

It's been this way for awhile... Before Renji vanished. I've tried so hard to keep this from coming out...

...Please... Be mad, be furious! I doubt I can live with myself, as is... I've come to believe it might be easier to handle if you hated me.

[PRIVATE: KAORU]

[superficialness]

.. I'm not a strong person, I'm not! I still get depressed whenever I think about Renji and all the things he went through just for me! I still hate myself that he fought Akabane for my sake and died because of it! I'm not strong! I don't know why people tell me I am! It makes me happy that you care for me so much, but I'm just misleading you!

... Before Renji left...? That long?? ..God.. how long has it been.. since he left.. it feels like ages.

I can't be mad at you! And I could never hate you! You're one of my best friends and you'll always be that!

[Private to Keigo]

[witheredblade]

No. You're not. Missing someone isnt a sign of being weak. Caring for people isn't weakness! It's humanity. It's proof that you have a heart and it's why I let my feelings for you grow.

...Yes. That long. I'm not sorry I couldn't tell you then. I already regret telling you now, though that's my own fault.

...I'm glad to hear that... Yet disheartened, as well. It will be had to face you...
