[ shove him again, sousei. shove him again. but wow acquaintances see that's what she said. not friends, tenka, suck on that. ]

i would
if he didn't send me ten messages in a row
does he always do that to you

[ sent to the phone probably face down on the table........ just one text in a flood of millions from crabhead. ]

[It's precisely because his phone is face down on the table while Tenka barrages him with texts that this reply takes so long....that, and the fact that they were basically wrestling on the couch for Tenka's phone.

#nohomo]

yes, he does. if it bothers you, i will tell him to stop.

[he might even listen, since it's Milla and not Sousei.]

[ #justhomothings.

not that she thinks anything of the delay. maybe he's as bad as she is at texting. ]

dont waste your time
the messages werent meant for me anyway
i feel sorry for you

[ and actually she's also a bit jealous, but she's not going to voice that. please. also "he won't do it again"--famous last words. ]

[oh god............. he's pretty blunt in response to that, and the message comes immediately--]

i dont want your pity.

he is my responsibility however. i will keep him in check. you know you do not have to do anything he guilted you into agreeing with, correct

[ too bad, sousei, you get her pity. because as she sees it, he's basically an errand boy for... that tenka. that childhood friend. that... incredibly energetic person.

how does a guy like this keep up? ]

well you have it
and obviously i dont have to
i wouldnt if i didnt want to

[ does that mean she wants to come over for tea then??? she'll still say no, under the pretence that she doesnt want to get bombarded with a trajillion messages. ]

you make him sound like a child

[ ..... rather tenka makes himself sound like a child, but she's got enough tact to not say that. ]

[it's a long story.

But he just blinks at that message. So...Milla wants to come for tea. Weird, but he supposes Tenka does have that effect on people.]

he is not a child, but he does act like it on occasion

[gossips about tenka while he's sitting right next to him]

[ yeah screw that guy. also she probably shouldn't be texting while getting the stuff ready to come over, because she spilled some salsa on her cerevice.

god, so gross, she needs to clean that up. also she hopes she didnt break it because how does this stuff even work-- ]

not that i didnt expect that with how you described him
honestly im surprised youve been friends with him for so long

you are getting these right

[ ... if he doesn't she really did break her cerevice by getting salsa on the screen and she blames tenka. ]

[milla........

he has no idea why she's even asking him that, but???]

yes.

regardless of the circumstances and despite his irritating traits, he is still family.

[which he only types out and sends when he's sure Tenka isn't looking.]

[ oh, good, it's working.

... too bad her relief is cut short by sousei's mention of "family". that really does surprise her to see... actually, it makes her a little sad as she thinks of muzét, and maybe that jealousy increases just a tad. ]

youre
surprisingly soft
arent you

[????

????

For the record, he slams the phone down a little too hard on the table at that.

No he is not.

And then he picks it back up because he has to prove that he's not.]

don't be ridiculous. i am nothing of the sort

[what a weird interruption

. . . . . ]

Do you need another Oreo?

[cue the temporary interruption of tenka trying to shove a cookie into Sousei's mouth]

[why????

WHY.

DO NOT MAKE HIM CHOKE ON COOKIES.]

Tenk-- [LKANSLKDMLA]

[ milla laughing alone with salsa.jpg

too bad for him, but she doesn't fall for obvious lies. mostly because she's the master of obvious lies.

she purposely sends this text a little late, as she finishes with packing away the salsa: ]

right
getting him hairties and calling him family isnt soft

[.... yeah that's... honestly, he's never seen himself as soft, so this line of questioning is legitimately confusing to him.

But...what...? Hairties??? What hairties......

Still, the answer he types out may not be entirely what she's expecting.]

it isn't. there isn't anything soft about caring for family.

[ ..... when he says things like that...

no, that's her definition of soft. she was thinking he was just being shy but... that's so straightforward it's actually a little painful.

and way to ask milla for hairties but not sousei, tenka....... ]

you make it sound like theres something bad about being soft

[ and she had typed "like i'm someone who can talk about that", but she hesitates, erases it instead for: ]

im leaving now

[But there is something wrong with being soft. He can't survive in the world he's in while being soft. He has to be prepared to cut off anyone in the squad at any time (he isn't, he never was). He has to be prepared to do whatever it takes for victory, or to do what he is required to do by his superiors (but he wasn't, and he didn't).

No, being soft didn't get him anywhere, but perhaps having emotions and being human wasn't so bad after all.

So instead of prolonging a conversation that is clearly done, she simply gets acknowledgement.]

fine
