[infinitecruelty]

people break up for dumber reasons than "true love's return" so clearly there's precedent for concern there

i never said you couldnt have friends, i just dont think you should have friends you would potentially commit grievous errors with

[tothosewhobait]

And what grievous errors do you think I would potentially commit with him, dearest?

[infinitecruelty]

ones you couldn't take back or fix. i think you know the ones.

[tothosewhobait]

Now now....you think I'm far smarter than that, don't you?

[infinitecruelty]

of course. which is why i know better than to narrow it down to any single nefarious thing you could possibly come up with.

[tothosewhobait]

You also know I'm clever enough to know a good thing when I see it, right? And you, my dear, are a very, very good thing. Would I be foolish enough to risk that?

[infinitecruelty]

wouldn't that also make Idiot a "good thing"? i have eyes too, you know.

[tothosewhobait]

Very well then, let's try this another way. Let's negotiate.... What will it take to put you at ease?

[infinitecruelty]

there's no need. i've already decided how im going to sort this out.

[tothosewhobait]

Oh? And how is that, exactly?

[infinitecruelty]

nothing to concern yourself with. :)

[tothosewhobait]

[...]


That is even more concerning.

[infinitecruelty]

don't worry about it. it's not like it's permanent.

[tothosewhobait]

[Picking up the phone and calling]

[infinitecruelty]

[Lets it ring... until the very last one. And picks it up.]

Yeeees?

[tothosewhobait]

Whatever you are thinking? Don’t.

[infinitecruelty]

Mm, but what if it's too late?

[tothosewhobait]

[Huffs quietly, cradling the phone with his shoulder against his ear to free up his hands to mix another drink]

You do realize, despite crushing on him before I died, I never acted on it. It's not as if I'm going to suddenly act on it now. Besides, even if I were the cheating type, it is not as though he is interested in me. Nothing is going to happen when only one party is interested, you know.

[infinitecruelty]

What part of "I have eyes, too" don't-- ugh. [No, don't give Azul hope that this scrawny nerd might want him back--]

And what if he WAS interested? Would you consider it, then? You'd pick that guy over me? Over Nanami?

[tothosewhobait]

[The gentle clink of the bar spoon against the ice and glass can be heard faintly while he stirs]

...consider it? There is nothing to consider. I'm spoken for. The two of you are not placeholders for anyone else.

[infinitecruelty]

[That... Should be a soothing notion. But he's dealing with a professional conartist; his guard is never truly down.]

And you're sure about that.

[tothosewhobait]

[.............takes a slow sip of his drink]

Darling. I know neither of us are particularly good at this part, but you may have to trust me.

[infinitecruelty]

[There's a loooong silence here where Envy is weighing the pros and cons of accepting this decidedly noncommittal delivery of Azul's alleged commitment to his current partners... He knows there's a good chance he means it, but this is too easy. There have to be loopholes Azul is looking to exploit--]

You always get what you want, Azul. It's something I've always found most fascinating about you... So, you'll understand if I struggle to trust, that just this once, you won't. There was no moral quandary in acquiring Nanami when you wanted him. So how do I know this won't end up the same?

[tothosewhobait]

Nanami was different and you know it. The circumstances just happened to be that I was growing closer to you both at the same time. It was far from a planned move.

[Reclaims his seat on the couch, quiet for now other than the quiet tap of his fingers against the glass]

I would love to offer you a little....insurance. However, I am not exactly sure what would be considered sufficient in a situation such as this.

[infinitecruelty]

I'm not sure, either.

[Sighs, leaning against the wall in the hallway of one of heaven's many corridors. He was just on his way to meet up with Velvet so they could go swirly the nerd... Now his plans might have to change. Dammit.]

And really, there's not much to do on your end. I mean, I was just going to solve this by eliminating the competition... You know how it is.
