"Stop smiling-"

"I can't."

"-before I slap that smirk off your face."

"Please do. I mean no please don't hurt me."

"You really are mine." He nods. "You'll never run off with some woman and abandon us?"

"I will not."

"You're supposed to say you will, so we can fight more."

"Oh I mean, yeah I will I won't even write you."

"Whatever, I'm just using you don't act like I couldn't find another one of you that would be even more subservient and give no backchat."

"Oh yeah? Why don't you?"

"..."

"I can tell you why? It's because you care about me and if I left you'd miss me. You clearly just want to own me so you can keep me to yourself and not risk losing me. No wonder you act like I'm so terrible to everyone, you want to scare them off because you know I'm better than that. Even your most basic commands are just to have me stay with you. You've got feelings. You can't deny it now. Why else would you get so angry? That is a feeling, even if you express it incorrectly."

"Is this where we're going now? I like having you around, that doesn't necessarily mean I like you."

"That's the same thing."

"I don't know if it's only while I'm doing this or indefinitely, but I can see that you don't want a wife anymore. Now look who's got feelings for a boy."

"I know that's what you want deep down, more than anything."

"Yeah yeah, what do you know?"

"You poor thing, I'm just teasing you and you're letting it get to you. 'These violent delights have violent ends'."

"They won't be violent if you simply come to obey."

"Yeah, you say that but that's not how this is gonna go down."

"So you want a violent end?"

"I don't know if that's a threat or an appeal to my cowardly side, which I don't have. No one has cast 'a plague on both' our houses. The funny thing is Mitsukuni isn't the sort to understand references to English literature."

"Are you suggesting that you and I are more compatible?"

"What? No."

"I suppose not, I'm more mature than you."

"No you're not, you have no patience or manners and it's not a competition. What I was trying to do is ask, how can the two of you be so different?"

"That's one of the few things I don't know."

"You are full of yourself, aren't you?"

"What? I am as great as I say I am."

"It's a good delusion to have but you know you're terrible."

"I am but, you can't act like you're not different when you're turned on."

"At least I'm not a different person- I mean! Don't bring that up! We've both said things tonight things we regret and…"

Maybe that's why I never speak…

"Come on Ta-tsun, don't go back to being shy."

"Do you have any idea about how ashamed I am of that. There's a side to me I didn't know I had and I don't like it."

"How do you think I feel?"

"What? You're a parasite! You do every wrong thing you do deliberately."

"I'm glad you can finally see that."

"The thing is that when you wake up you're not you, you haven't done anything you're just as innocent as you always have been."

"The only reason Mitsukuni is innocent again is because of my manifestation."

"At least you don't have to live with the guilt."

"What guilt do you have, you just lie there and take it."

"I let it happen."

"No, I made it happen. You had no say."

"But I'm enjoying it, I'm letting you get in my head. I can't be weak. I can't let you overwhelm me."

"Because of my-"

"It's my problem, not yours."

"I know it's not my problem, because I couldn't care less about your feelings, but it is my fault, I did cause your self-doubt and I'm not sorry. Submissive doesn't necessarily mean weak and trust me, I know you're not. I'll be the first to admit that you've got a fair bit of strength both in mind and body. You take on too much and you never stop to ask for help. you have your own problems but you keep them inside and I commend you for that, I can't contain anything, not this terrible lust I have, not the aggression or the cruelty. You bear the brunt of the force and you do it so well. I may even start to question my own capacity for wrongdoing. You're too good, you deserve so much better. In my mind, the only way you could excuse such behaviour time after time must be that you really love Mitsukuni."

"Speak for yourself, you need to stop putting words in my mouth and trying to manipulate me... Just when I think we're having an honest conversation."

"I will ever understand why you find it so hard to admit to being gay."

"Is that what you want from me?"

"You know what I want and I've already got it, sweetheart."

"What?"

"This, I've got it all, your virginity, your innocence, your dignity, I took it all from you."

"I gave you it."

"Whatever helps you come to terms with it."

"Over what? You're giving me more than I've given you. You even cried, you're the one that-" Hani slaps him so hard and fast it leaves a handprint on his cheek. Mori doesn't react and says. "Behaviour." Hani stops, then has a sudden realisation and slaps him anyway.

"Don't tell me what to do!"

"Calm down, do you want to sit on the naughty step?"

"Stop being condescending Takashi or I'm not talking to you."

"Ok. Mr H."

"Who's Mr H?"

"You're the boss, I'll do as you say."

"Stop making fun of me!"

"Takashi was so silly, can you forgive him?"

"That's it I'm not talking to you."

"Are you just going to stop and go to sleep after all that?"

"..."

"Ok, I'll talk to you in the morning."
