NOT BACKDATED FOR A CHANGE

[asterope]

[After a long night of partying or rather attempting to, Ast has come home! Well, rather, two nights - he hasn't really been keeping count, he's just too tired to deal with finding a place to sleep he's not Cel he can't sleep anywhere]

Too mean!!

[asterope]

It's not! You're just... careless.

I want you to promise me!

[celaeno]

Promise...? Promise what?

[asterope]

[sighs]

That you'll stay away from him! For your safety more than my own!

[celaeno]

... I promise.

[asterope]

...Good.

[he sighs, his shoulders finally relaxing]

And you can let your demons chew on the tags as far as I care.

[celaeno]

[THEN WHY DID YOU KEEP THEM, he wants to ask, but... he bites his lip :(]

Then... I want you to promise me, too!

[asterope]

[BECAUSE HE'S TORN OK]

Promise you what?

[celaeno]

... That you won't ever disappear on me again.

[asterope]

I can't promise a thing like that.

[celaeno]

Why not!?

SCREE YOU LEFT IRC

[asterope]

Because I just can't, okay?! How will I know where we'll be 5 years from now?

I SCREED TOO

[celaeno]

That's at least one thing you should know!

YOU SCREE I SCREE WE SCREE FOR ASSCREE...D

[asterope]

Says the person who doesn't know what he'll do tomorrow, let alone years from now!

HAHAHAHA perfect

[celaeno]

That may be so, but whatever it is, I know that I'll be doing it with niichan!

[asterope]

[oh my god he's about to have a panic attack in ast form - which means grouching]

W-what?! You can't do that!

[celaeno]

Why not!? Tell me why I can't!

[asterope]

You can't just... decide for me that I'm going to be single forever and just hang out with a weirdo for the rest of my life! That's too depressing, okay!

[celaeno]

Who said you have to stay single? You can still hang out with me if you have a girlfriend, you know! Rather, I'd be pissed if you didn't!

[asterope]

... But that'd be so awkward! You'd never know when we'd wanna be alone because you're you!

[celaeno]

What is that supposed to mean!? I'd know!

I AM THE WORST

[asterope]

Oh, like you ever knock before coming into my bedroom!

WELL HE ISN'T WRONG

[celaeno]

Well, you don't have a girlfriend right now. What's wrong with it?

[asterope]

--!

[DO YOU SERIOUSLY NOT KNOW YOUR HAND INTIMATELY YOU ARE THE WEIRDEST PERSON TO HIM RIGHT NOW]

[celaeno]

Wha— Don't tell me you've been hiding one from me!
