[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.

[tothosewhobait]

Instead of destroying my schoolmate, how about we go on a date? We can get dressed up, go enjoy a nice evening, whatever you'd like. I'll even let you pick what we do...as long as Nanami and myself do not get too sloppy. In which case, we might want to move date night to tomorrow.

[infinitecruelty]

Nanami is already pretty sloppy. We might want to reschedule; you have enough of a mess to clean up tonight as it is. Plus I'm about to meet up with Vel, so.

[Sighs, still pretty disgruntled.]

You know I only have to fuck with him the one time to get him to not be a problem anymore, right--

[tothosewhobait]

...I know. He's not the problem though. He didn't do anything, I'm the one with the attraction, so I'm the one who is the problem right now. So, what can I give you to make up for that? Would you like to match more? Get my love for you in writing? Give you one of my hearts?

[infinitecruelty]

[Envy doesn't have any hearts and yet that response makes something deep within him stir and well..

...it makes him just a little nauseous. He swallows the urge to gag on that feeling and instead manages to eke out something like a laugh.]

I'm not sure what you mean by "match more," but I think those other two are perhaps a touch dramatic, don't you?

[tothosewhobait]

[Chuckles quietly, leaning back against the couch]

It got the point across, didn't it? As for matching....I meant more obvious accessories to show we're a set. Something like that.

[infinitecruelty]

Hmm. Maybe. Depends on what you have in mind.

Though... Humans get matching rings and make matching promises and still find their way into other people's arms, you know. Nothing but time is a guarantee.

[Leaning his head against the wall with a sigh.]

Really, all I think we can do is wait and see.

[tothosewhobait]

Do you like me enough that the worry is worth it?

[infinitecruelty]

[He's quiet for a loooong time.]

I've never had something of my own before. [Idly kicking at the carpet.] And now that I do, I still have to share. [One could probably hear the eyeroll--] You can imagine how difficult that already is for me. What with the jealousy and all. Adding someone else to that would just make it worse.

[tothosewhobait]

[Idly swirls his glass, the ice clinking against the sides, but otherwise quiet for a while on the other end]
