"Don't just tease me because you want a fight.

"I could've sworn you said something along the lines of you not being able to rise above anything."

"Yeah, well it doesn't count now."

"Because I'm satisfying you?

"I'm satisfying myself, love, you just happen to be the one with the-"

"Bigger penis?"

"You're really 'cruisin' for a bruisin'.'"

"Yet you're still being nice. You 'teehee'd earlier, what was that about?"

"I'm in a good mood, ok? I'd appreciate it, if you didn't keep trying to ruin it."

"Horny Hani, please?"

"You can't have fun unless it's rough can you?"

"This is fine but..."

"Me being nasty is all you've ever known?"

"I don't know..."

"You know, being treated like that is not normal, I'm a very bad person and this doesn't represent a functional relationship, friendship or otherwise."
"Ok, you've perverted me, I admit it. When I get like this, I just want you to dominate me and I don't know why. I'm not even shy about it anymore."

"Aw~ Ta-tsun~ You love me!"

"I don't love you and stop singing your words,"

"It reminds you of Mitsukuni! Just be thankful you're not doing this with Mitsukuni, you'd have had no chance, for all the crying, you'd be obliged to stop. Don't you ever worry that because I'm being eerily nice right now, I could be on my way out?"

"Don't say that."

"You said you thought you'd expelled me and sounded happy about it too. Do you want me to stay?"

"I'd really prefer it if you didn't suddenly disappear in the middle of this and I had to explain what was going on... I hardly know myself."

"That would really suck for you… And him, I suppose."

"You're making me paranoid. Stop, please."

"If Mitsukuni ever lets you, you're gonna have to do it."

"He'd have to understand it first, without me telling him about it and he wouldn't be letting me he'd have to beg me, I don't wanna have to do that to him."

"What because he's too cute and innocent? Does that turn you off?" Mori shrugs but says nothing. "Are you underestimating him?"

"No, I'd feel really guilty."

"Don't."

"Anyway, it wouldn't be him you're here every time…"

"Who knows how much longer I'll be around. You're too accepting these days."

"And me not resisting turns you off?"

"It's not as exciting."

"So, I'm not good enough for you now?"

"Don't make this about you. You're not the one whose life is at risk."

"You don't have a life. You share one."

"Yeah, I'm a parasite and you don't want me here."

"Don't just take the insult. I never thought I'd have to tell you to fight back."

"Well, obviously you don't really know me."

"You put on bravado, so, it's impossible for me to know you. You're always angry and we only ever do the one kind of thing."

"I know. We don't have to carry on, I could leave or-"

"Stop accepting the criticism, I thought you didn't like it when we were friendly."

"You tried to start a fight to make me be my usual self?"

"You don't have any idea how guilty it makes me to see you sad like this."

"You feel sorry for me?" He moves to the edge of the bed and perches there clutching his knees and staring at a patch on the carpet.

"Calm down, its Mitsukuni's job to strop and cry about nothing."

"I'm not crying, just leave me alone."

"I'm not trying to be harsh, I thought I could tease you out of your stupor. Sorry for being mean."

"Don't apologise. I dish it out but I can't take it? How weak do you think I am?"

"Not very."

"Don't lie."

"I know you're as strong as I am and without the bulk or muscle mass, so that must make you- "

"'Special?' Stop patronising me."

"I'm just being your friend. Not all positive regard is an insult."

"Well in my house you've got to just man up, don't expect any compliments, if you fall over don't expect to get picked up, rub dirt on the wound."

"It's that why Mitsukuni is so soft? All those years of pretending to be tough? Is that why I've got to deal with the unbelievable sensitivity and dependence?"

"Mitsukuni annoys you!?"

"Not at all, he's got some challenging behaviour, that's all."

"That's what they all say... And my brother doesn't like me."

"He doesn't know you exist."

"Us me it's the same thing."

"You're weirdly mopey tonight, are yours and his emotions linked or something?"

"What do you think?" He glares at him.

"Alright don't get your knickers in a twist."

"I'm going home." He starts to get dressed. "I'll walk there if I have to. I don't have to sit here and take this treatment from you."

"I just care, it's all I can do. I can't help it."

"Stop, thinking about me like that."

"Like what?"

"You never treat me like a man! You're always feeling sorry for me, apologising, you forgiv-"

"I treat you like any over friend..."

"So you've been naked in bed with your other friends?"

"..."

"You won't even admit to being gay, what does that make me?"

"Don't go."

"Why? Don't you think I can make it back home on my own!? You think I'm a joke, don't you?"

"You've got an inferiority complex, if you stop thinking everyone is better than you, you'll stop being so angry at them."

"Bye."

"Don't you walk out that door."

"The chauffeur will get my stuff in the morning."

"Stop this, you're being irrational."

"This is the time when I don't want you to follow me."

What did I even say… It's like Mitsukuni all over again. I can't let him walk home on a cold dark November night... Even if it's what he wants. He rushes after him.

"How could you come out of your room looking like that!?" He pulls the flip phone out of Hani's hand.

[Where would you like to be collected from?]

"Sorry, wrong number." He looks at Hani who hopelessly reaches up to grab in and stamps his foot when he can't.

"Oi, give it back."

[Master Haninozuka, Master Haninozuka? Are you there? A bad man hasn't stolen your phone. has he?]

He folds the cover down and picks Hani up. He kicks and bangs his fists on Mori's back.

He wasn't even gonna walk…

"Put me down this instant you know how this makes me feel." He gets to his room, puts him down and closes the door.
