[...]

So I am.

[so he is. a shrug.]

I don't know why, alright? It's just a thing that's happening.

[... Half-truth. He knows what caused it, but he doesn't know why he's irked by Silver saying so many good things about a guy that's frankly in Gold's good book right now.]

[feistytrader]

...If you don't let me in, I can't help you.

[Which is rich, coming from him, but- he's been trying, at least.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[... He had this kind of issue with Togebo, too. The not letting him into his heart part and all. Gold lays his head back down, staring at the ceiling.]

It ain't anything against you, Silver, I just seriously don't know why.

[Just what caused it. Which is what he's leaving out.]

[feistytrader]

...You don't know why you burned my flowers when I talked about Tsukiyama.

[He believes him, and he looks like he believes him. At the same time, he just wants to make sure we're all on the same page here.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[... A part of him knows, but it's also that same part that gets annoyed when anyone talks nicely about people who aren't him. It's just the fact that it flared up because of Silver of all people, his best friend, that he doesn't want to talk about it. Because it's genuinely stupid and not something he wants to connect between them, just like he got jealous over other people being important to Silver.

So just a thumbs up. You got it, bud, that's that.]

[feistytrader]

...You don't dislike him, do you?

[Because fuck if he knows what fire means, when everything is fire, nothing is. ...Well everything is still fire but you get the point.]

[uncouthhatcher]

Nope. The guy's good in my book, actually. I might even agree with all your crush-compliments one day.

[Good fuckin' luck figuring this out.]

[feistytrader]

...Then you don't like that I called him all of those things.

[Because he's in despair, because he hates him, because he's angry, because he's afraid, because he doesn't trust him, because he's sad. because...]

Did you want to be called all of those things?

[He's jealous?]

[uncouthhatcher]

[Urk. Nail on the head.]

I'm changin' my mind about this world. I don't like it.

[stop showing his weaknesses dammit]

[feistytrader]

It takes some getting used to.

[And honesty.]

You want me to tell you how great you are too, or would that make it weird?

[uncouthhatcher]

Keep it to yourself. It's no big deal, alright? Just didn't expect to get it around you of all people.

[Everyone else needs to know how cool and incredible and awesomely amazing he is, or at least admit to thinking it. He knows Silver thinks he's the Beedrill's knees. Or his ego does.]

[feistytrader]

[...It happens, sometimes you get jealous, and sometimes you get jealous over really stupid stuff because Aiada is punching you in the brain, like- wait.]

...Have you been getting jealous over weird things since you got here?

[uncouthhatcher]

[... He was gonna ask Silver to define weird but uh.

You know what?]

Things I wouldn't usually get into a huge fuss over, right?

[feistytrader]

Exactly. Things that don't usually bother you, or don't usually bother you this much.

[...That would make sense, wouldn't it? Gold's always after attention.]

Maybe you're aligned to Aiada too.

[uncouthhatcher]

Well, at least I made a good impression on our representative, even if you've been talkin' shit about me to everyone you know.

[... If he's aligned to Aiada, anyway, which is something Silver seems particularly sure about.]

You've been getting them too, then?

[feistytrader]

I only talked shit once.

[Just one time! It's not like he said anything untrue, either--!]

But yeah, I have. [...] That's what all of the stuff outside was about. Or at least some of it.

[uncouthhatcher]

[talkin shit is talkin shit]

... So was your big flowery thing when we got here that too, or is it just ice stuff.

[feistytrader]

...I do that a lot.

[...]

I might be doing it a little more than usual, but I do that a lot.

[uncouthhatcher]

[...]

I'm surprised you have just one girlfriend. Chicks go nuts over flowers.

[feistytrader]

I'm not the only one who makes flowers. I don't want more girlfriends, either.

[uncouthhatcher]

You should! Every guy wants girls hangin' off him, dude!

[...]

Though... I guess... You might want guys hangin' off you too..?

[The awkwardness of that doesn't even need an emotion effect it's just. There. It's so there.]

[feistytrader]

...Not while I'm with White, I don't.

[But he's not denying it, either.]

Why? Is that weird?

[uncouthhatcher]

[how does he

uh]

Ask Crys.

[there. push it onto the girl of their group]

[feistytrader]

No. I'm asking you.

[Don't push this on Crys--!]

[uncouthhatcher]

[WHEN DAD DOESN'T WANT TO ANSWER YOU PUSH IT ONTO MOM DAMMIT]

I... guess not? I don't know, man, I've met some pretty flamboyant people before [like ryuunosuke and tsukiyama fuckin proved that there] but I did not expect somethin' like this from you. I didn't even expect you to like girls, but-- not like that you didn't like girls and only like guys kind of way. Just that you didn't like anyone.

[... nailed it.]
