freneticism

[ what a curious world they live in. ]

i like to try to take it as a weird kind of compliment??
there's nothing wrong with the idea that i have at least a fraction of your maddening attractiveness.

but uh
is that a no to the sweaters?

Fft. Get your own maddening attractiveness. Ignorance is not a compliment, and you shouldn't encourage it.

That's

[ ughhhhhh he doesn't want to agree to this, but. compromise, that's a thing he's trying to do. ]

A last resort. Okay? Matching sweaters are a last resort, like wearing a bald wig, or pretending to speak Bulgarian

does it count as encouragement if i take some small pleasure from their ignorance and then watch while you tear them to pieces?
remember the last time? what did you say?? [ a brief pause while he laughs to himself. ]
you almost made that man cry.

well, you'll be happy to know that i have now purchased matching sweaters for when we're in need of a last resort.
they're seafoam green. with embroidered pineapples.

[ ... sebastian is about to answer all of this thoroughly, with such details as how schadenfreude is really hot on zetes, but then-- ]

Why. Why do they have embroidered pineapples.

Did I kick your puppy in a past life?
Do you love me even a little?

[ he's just. so delighted. ]

1) because thrift stores
2) i think i would remember having a puppy, even in a past life, so no, probably not
3) you should know the answer to this

but because i like to say it
i love you very much.

[ because he's some kind of evil joy fairy, is why. ]

So we're going to look approachable and like we belong in a home. Wonderful.

Didn't they have any hideous, virulent strains of argyle?

[ god damn it x_x ]

I guess the feeling must be mutual, if I love you enough to wear fucking pineapple seafoam.

argyle has its moments but pineapples are going to win out every time.
you should know this.

you should also know that i have every confidence you'll look very handsome and it'll be great and no one will care if we belong in a home or not!!!

It's your job to do the talking. The looking like we belong in a home talking.

[ as if it isn't always zetes' job to do the talking. unless they're talking to someone who needs to be intimidated by a glowering giant. ]

Especially since I think we both know which of us is going to look handsome in sea foam, and it's not me.

seafoam is my color.
well, one of my colors.
everyone wants to talk to me when i'm in seafoam.

Everyone wants to talk to you because you radiate affability and friendliness and a bunch of other unspeakable things.

it's a good thing this is a text conversation, then.
i wouldn't want you to have to wash your mouth out with soap.

It's too late.
I'm already gargling with Irish Spring as a precaution.

i don't wanna kiss that mouth.

Be less friendly and affable then.

[ this argument is fooproof!! obviously. ]

that's like telling a fish to be less cold-blooded.

[ he doesn't like this argument!!! ]

You know having sad glisteny eyes from three blocks over is cheating, right?

[ he can hear the sadness!!! and the glistening!!!!! ]

whaaaaaaat

[ he totally didn't know that. ]

i like to call it strategy.

That's ...you know, that's actually pretty hard to argue with.

wow.
sebastian tantalo doesn't know how to argue something.
i feel like i've won. just at life??

[ he loves you so much. ]

[ yes, sebastian has learned the Love is why zetes spends 28 hours a day thinking of ways to troll him. x_x ]

Don't get used to it, bucko.

[ but of course!!! ]

bucko.
i like that.
makes me feel like a cowboy.

c:
