I think I'm just about done with this island.

Although it's kind of fucking hilarious we'll be here for tomorrow. Least we don't gotta worry about decorating.

...On a completely random note, I can't seem to find Shitty Bug. Er. Help?

Ohh, right. Almost forgot that was your brand of catnip.

Oi, hey, I ain't afraid - they're just gross! And creepy. And I prefer not to have them anywhere near me. EVER. Aside from Shitty Bug.

You should try it sometime.

Have I ever told you that you're ridiculous?

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Trying - there's a reason I keep going to all your fucking classes.

Probably. I most likely conveniently wiped it from memory, which I'm more than willing to do again.

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

It's positive feedback like that from students that really makes my job worthwhile.

Of course.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Calling it a job, I feel like we should pay you for your services.

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need.

Although if you have something else in mind, feel free to speak up.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Oh, I have several things in mind, but I think I'll keep my lips sealed for now.

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

For now? Hmmm...

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Mhmm. You can be patient, right?

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

Of course. Just don't keep me waiting forever.

...

So I want to be nosy but I'm trying really hard to refrain.

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

Nosy? About what?

...I was talking to George-san.

News travels quickly.

Re: [Private]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

She just wanted some advice, is all.

Re: [Private]

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

She trusts you. I understand.

What did you tell her?

Re: [Private]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the problem - I didn't know what to tell her. I don't think I was much help.

How long have you...?

Re: [Private]

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

Well. It's nice that you tried.

That is a loaded half of a question. ...For long a time. How long have I known? Since September, I think.

Re: [Private]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Nice. Right.

If you've known since September, then why'd you wait to tell her?

Re: [Private]

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

What else am I supposed to say? I'm glad that you care about her. She deserves that.

She had a boyfriend, Sanji. And...I've never exactly felt this way before. I didn't know if it was wise to tell her. Besides, why tell her and risk our friendship, especially not knowing how she felt about me in return? Not to mention the fact that she deserves someone normal. There were a lot of reasons.

Re: [Private]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

I wasn't feeling particularly nice during the conversation, that's all. It was an exercise in self-restraint.

Yeah, and most of those reasons still apply, so what the hell is up with your timing?? You hold your tongue for two months and then wait until they FINALLY move forward in their relationship to tell her - what part of that seemed like a good idea to you?

Re: [Private]

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

You're not upset with her, are you?

Not a single part of it seemed like a good idea. Ace told me I should. I should have known better than to listen to him. And when I told her, it was mostly by accident.

Re: [Private]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

No. No, it’s not her fault. It’s not yours, either, it’s just a shitty situation all around. ...And it’d be a whole lot different if the boyfriend wasn’t Usopp.

Fuck, I dunno, I guess it’s not fair to say you should’ve kept it to yourself. It just...feels like she has to chose now, and no matter what someone’s gonna get hurt. And...I don’t want it to be you. But. I also...do. You get it, right?

...Most of all I don’t want it to be her, though. And that’s pretty fucking unavoidable at this point.

Re: [Private]

[black-hat-cat.livejournal.com]

I never asked her to choose. I wouldn't. Usopp makes her happy.

...I wish that I could make her happy too. But I doubt Usopp would ever agree to that. I don't understand people.

Re: [Private]

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

I know you didn't, but she doesn't want to hurt YOU either, so...

You do make her happy. It's just a different kind of happy. You're her best friend. Some people are just...only meant to have one other person who's more than that, but you can ALWAYS be her friend.
