[Filtered to Guy//~~Ridiculously hackable~~ Unhackable]

Hey, Guy? My hair's getting kind of long... Could you come cut it for me? I'd do it myself, but I can't really see back there...

[Filtered to Ion//~~So hackable it hurts~~ Unhackable]

Ion, can I talk to you? It's important.

[/Filter]

[Now that those are out of the way, Luke rests his chin in his hand and stares off to the side, lost in thought. The thing he wanted to talk to Ion about... It's been weighing heavily on his mind ever since he heard it. Luke isn't sure what to think of it, or even how to feel about it. There's a sort of happiness inside him, sure, but... he can't deny the hesitation and confusion he feels. So, after a few minutes, he opens up the journal again to ask the general populace:]

What do you think it means to have a soul?

Asch can avoid people for any number of reasons and I don't presume to know all of them.

But that is probably one. [Into the pan goes the rest of the veggies.]

But- But I- What makes him think- I don't like him that way! Guy! You know that, right?!

Okay, well, of course I know that.

But he's an idiot. So he might not have worked it out for himself yet, because if I know him at all then I'd have to say he's probably avoiding the topic even in his head.

Then why don't you talk to him? He'd listen to you!

Because this is none of my business. This is between you and him, and if you want him to respect you then you need to be the one to talk to him about your business.

[Luke just glowers at Guy for a moment because he wanted to avoid the topic, too! But... he's right. If he wants to fix something, he has to do it himself.

He sinks down in his chair and practically drops his head on the table with a SMACK, not even caring if that hurt his forehead.]

Dammit. Why'd I have to turn into him?

[...actually, Guy has been wanting to ask this for a while but hasn't quite known how to bring it up. He might as well, while the topic is on hand.

He still keeps his back to Luke as he fixes their food, though.]

...Luke, I've been meaning to ask you. Does it...bother you? Me and Asch, that is.

[And that makes Luke lift his head up and rub his forehead, though that might be more to give him something to do rather than nurse a wound.]

Huh? N-No... Why're you asking me that?

[Pause.

Guy turns and grins, flicking the spatula in Luke's direction.]

Because I value your opinion, obviously! Even if you're not all that experienced with romance in the practical sense, despite all the women you seem to gather.

[Guy, that was practically one long "DAMN Luke". Luke makes a face, then turns to stare ahead of him with a thoughtful frown.]

I want to say it doesn't bother me. I really want to say it... But it's not really like that. I mean, it's not as bad as it was when I first found out, but... you're my best friend, and Asch is my original, the guy who hates me.

[The guy with my face.]

I always thought Asch liked Natalia, and you... I don't even know. I guess it was just the last thing I expected, that's all.

[Guy turns back to the food, because he can't look at Luke for the next part.]

Do you want me to break up with him?

[Guy keeps his voice light; his expression is anything but.]

[Luke eyes widen, and he clenches his fists and he stands up again.]

What? No! What the hell makes you think that?!

Haha! What's all the yelling for? You're the one who said it bothered you.

[Guy reaches up into the cabinets for some plates.]

If it bothered me that badly, I would've moved out or something!

[Luke stays standing, fists down against the table and fixing Guy with a glare at his back.]

Do you remember when the two of you had that big fight, when I couldn't hear anything? Do you remember how I yelled at you to talk to Asch and try to fix things? Do you really think I would've done that if it bothered me that much?!

[Guy finally turns to face Luke, raising a brow with his fist on his hip.]

You did try to move out. In fact you keep doing it, just in case you haven't noticed.

It wasn't because of that! It's... It's the fact that I don't to take Asch's place again.

Don't yell at me for this, just don't. Back in Auldrant, I just got out of the manor, where everyone knew I wasn't the real Luke, and every day I kept being reminded of just how much I took away from Asch.

Then I come here and... I'm living with Asch, in his new home. It's not you and Asch, it's... me.

Hey, hey, I wasn't yelling at you. If you need to get away, then get away. It just worried me at first when you up and vanished with just a "hey, be back later" to tell me what happened.

[Guy carries the plates over to the table and sets them down, leaving once again to retrieve silverware and drinks for them both and taking a seat across from Luke.]

[Luke just pushes his food around at first, because he does NOT want there to be a rift between Guy and Asch because of him... then speaks up again.]

I'm sorry. I'm not used to being in the same house as him, that's all it is. Especially when I turned into him... I felt like I didn't want anyone looking at me.

[He frowns and looks up at Guy.]

Look, I'm going to be okay. You and Asch could kiss right in front of me for all I care - You two're happy, and that's all I care about.

Edited 2011-02-10 07:54 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't think there's a need to do that. We're not exactly into exhibitionism.

[Guy shoves a forkful into his mouth, but he can't help a grin after he swallows.]

But that's good to know. Thank you, Luke. I'd been a little worried about it. [Understatement of the century.]

G-Good.

[For that AND for not being into whatever exhibitionism is - Luke figures it has to do with the kissing thing though. Because the thought of that is just UGH UGH UGH DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT.

;LADSKFJ.

Luke purses his lips and fights down that embarrassed flush on his face, then shakes his head and finally starts to eat.]

Mmf-Don't ask me stuff like that, okay? It's annoying.

Mmm, okay.

[Om nom nom, talking around mouthful and pointing his fork at Luke.]

So how long're you gonna wait to put the moves on that Xion girl?

[/CHOKE.]

[Picks at a piece of food stuck in his teeth.]

'S not like to you take so damn long.

[GEE, THANKS FOR BEING SO CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR BFF WHO'S CHOKING TO DEATH-

Or not, since a few coughs later has Luke sputtering out:]

Wh-What are you talking about?!

[Like something that pathetic could kill Luke. Right.]

What do you think I'm talking about, you idiot?
