[ give it time then if you're so eager??? ]

i know you two are sleeping together. i don't care about that part. do you like him, or are you just using him?

[okane]

who i sleep with and why is none of your business

[shadowban]

i just said i don't care if you sleep with him. answer the actual question.

[okane]

yeah
and i just said you needing to know why i am sleeping with him is none of your business

that's what you're asking
if i like him or if i am using him

stay out of it

[shadowban]

so you're using him.

[ if he's not going to give an answer then he'll make one up, just like he did the first time. just like all the times before, too. holding patterns continue. ]

okay.

[okane]

he's using me
but alright

_{[ At least.. that's how it seems to Toji? ]}

he's the one that messages me soliciting sex
i agree, because what goes on between us is
well
it's not exactly something i think i could fulfill with anyone else
for now

not like anything you could understand

[shadowban]

you think because of my age i don't understand sexual attraction or urges? i'm sixteen. i grew up in the 13 years you've been gone.

whatever. i'll be at yuji's after this. i'll see you around.

[okane]

_{[ time to get tmi and maybe teach his nosy son to stop asking about nosy things!! ]}

he wants to be beaten and dehumanized
i get joy out of something like that
because he is a curse, he is resilient to my physical strength

[shadowban]

good for you both. have fun. i'm getting ice cream.

[ you want him to stop being nosy then fine!!! ]

[okane]

_{[ Strange kid. ]}

you're acting weird

_{[ though maybe it's kind of nice he's noticed? ]}

it isn't like you to start a conversation only to end if immediately without asking me a bunch of other questions

[shadowban]

i have my own problems to deal with, fushiguro-san. if you're tired of me then just say it. you didn't coddle me as a child, so don't start now.

[okane]

_{[ goddamn ]}

i didn't say anything like that
doesn't matter who you are, nobody needs to know about my personal life, but i decided to tell you anyway

you're being defensive for no reason

[shadowban]

you tell me i have no business even asking and you're calling me defensive? you're not even telling me because you want to, do you? you just feel obligated because of who i am to you.

this is why geto-san's wrong for once. i'm apparently more like you than even i realise. what are we doing?

[okane]

you are

_{[ Even from what little of child Megumi he can remember, their personalities have been strikingly similar. ]}

we are arguing, which is appropriate for us to do

[shadowban]

[ gojo satoru alluded to it too, more than once. it freaks him out more than a little, thinking over how one man he barely knew could have such an impact in who he turned out to be. ]

this is a zen'in thing then? i should blame you for this?

[okane]

don't compare us to them
we aren't them

you could
you could blame me for a lot of things, and it would probably be justified

_{[ There's a little typing ellipsis, like he's taking his time writing this out. ]}

i don't know how to make things right with you
when i have already told you i am not someone responsible enough to be a parent

_{[ Hell. He can barely even take care of himself. ]}

what we are doing is you are chasing me
and i am running from you
what i don't understand is why you want to be apart of it

of my life again

after the things i have done

_{[ .. huh. ]}

[shadowban]

so you're blaming me. you don't want me and you're making it my problem.

[ if this is what adulthood is like then maybe he should've just— ]

you said you'd try. that was the only thing i asked you, and you said you would.

is this you trying?

[okane]

not once have i ever said i did not want you, megumi

_{[ not commenting on the rest of that, though.. ]}

[shadowban]

[ don't think he doesn't notice. ]

i don't care what you say or don't say anymore. do something, or don't. i'll get the message either way.

[okane]

MONEY$HOT SENT K1,000.

enjoy your ice cream

[shadowban]

KON SENT K1,000.

if you're going to send me money you have gojo satoru to catch up to.

[okane]

MONEY$HOT SENT K15,000.

[shadowban]

[ this jerk— ]

KON SENT K15,000.

[okane]

everything i have ever done for you has been with what i believed in your best interest

you're ungrateful when i try to help so why should bother

right now is a perfect example of that

[shadowban]

i don't need you to provide.

[ it's heat rising. it's heat in his eyes, flush high on his cheeks, overwarm in all his softest places. ]

i need you to show up and stop acting like you'll fuck me up any worse than i already am. everyone else already beat you to it, so quit the tough guy bullshit and just show up.

this isn't trying. this is you throwing money at the problem and hoping i go away.
