RL with Ange

[tenminutes]

[ As soon as Ange had been able to get a worldhop, Yuri had prepared for her. Her discussion with Battler... hadn't really started or ended well, so she was definitely more down than she should've been for Ange coming over, but she wasn't going to bring that up if she could avoid it. Somehow she had her doubts that Ange was just going to let it go, but..

She would still try to smile. That was what made someone human, right? The ability to keep smiling, even after tons of bad things had happened. Yuri wasn't going to let it get to her. Not if she could help it. Ange just got back from the dead and was, somehow, alive. She didn't need to deal with Yuri's problems on top of that.

Of course, the waiting game was another thing that involved gratuitous interest in her laptop. Tetris was, after all, the most fun one could have without internet access (beside the community, of course) while looking like they were actually working on something intense. ]

Because you think you might disappear?

[ Ange herself can't think of any other reason, either way - sure, she knows about not wanting to care about people, but once they enter the territory of friends she can't help but care for them, right? Maybe even to an overly clingy point even if it isn't as obvious on the outside, the way she treats her family shows as much. ]

[tenminutes]

Not just that. I don't even think that's the primary reason.

[ The other one.. the only person she's ever told is Battler and she didn't even give him a chance to respond to it. ]

[denies]

And you're probably not going to tell me.

[ Or so she guesses, at least - and even though she's sort of curious and does want to know, she doesn't want Yuri to have to say anything she doesn't want to. She's okay with not prying into people's lives, since she doesn't allow others to pry into hers the same way, really. ]

[tenminutes]

Sorry. Maybe eventually but... I can't right now.

[ It's not that she doesn't trust Ange, it's more than she doesn't like to talk about that part. Not wanting to love anyone besides her siblings.. it's hard though. ]

[denies]

That's fine. [ and it's pretty genuine, you don't immediately have to tell her the story of your life, girl.. even if Yuri is prone to immediately springing that onto people. ]

If it's something you don't like to talk about, then that's just that. There's plenty of stuff people don't tell each other on the community, after all.

[tenminutes]

[ Yeah but no one ever gets this part even if it's a pretty easy conclusion, sob. ...Did Yuri even give Ange details beyond dead family and dead person though? ]

I know. Still doesn't mean I want you getting all sensitive over it so it's better to just give you an apology.

[denies]

[ I'm not sure if she told the details.. I know she practically did that one time they were drunk but neither of them remembers that, at least. 8| ]

Don't worry, I'm not as sensitive as Battler onii-chan for example. [ if the constant deadpan compared to his fits of flipping things wasn't enough of a clue.. ]

[tenminutes]

[ Sob.. Yuri just forgot, it's nothing personal.. it'll come up eventually probably.. ]

He gets upset when I don't tell him things.

[denies]

[ some.. day... ]

That's just the kind of person he is. He's just very sensitive to everything and will flip out over the smallest things.. I bet he would blow his top over me even daring to talk to anything remotely male on the community, too.

[tenminutes]

You should talk to every guy.

[ 8| BECAUSE IT'S THE RULES. Must disobey Battler. ]

[denies]

... Wait, why? [ she isn't making the connection just yet.. ] It's not like I care whether the person I talk to is a guy or a girl, why should I talk to every guy..?

[tenminutes]

To annoy Battler. Duh.

[denies]

You're encouraging me to practically prank my own brother?

[tenminutes]

You're his younger sibling, it's practically your duty to.

[denies]

It's not always like that between siblings, you know. Besides, I was twelve years younger than him, I never could even consider something like that.

[tenminutes]

No, but it's more fun that way and I can't right now so you have to.

[denies]

You're leaving your duties to me?

[tenminutes]

Just for now. I might join you again later.

[ Yuri can't not tease Battler. It's too fun. Join her Ange. It's like a fucking sport. ]

[denies]

At this rate, you might end up having a lot to catch up with.

[ okay, no, she doesn't tease Battler that much but she can't help joking around with Yuri juuust a little. ]

[tenminutes]

I'd better, or I might think you're slacking..

[denies]

I'm going to get graded on my efforts to make life difficult for onii-chan now?

[tenminutes]

Exactly! So you'd better impress e.

[denies]

Don't worry, I'll try to do my best.

[tenminutes]

Thanks, Ange.
