i'm not putting any effort into this rn it's just that i realised i don't have an open post so. here it is. throw prompts / starters / texts / etc. any time + receptacle for meme continuations i guess
that's true. and i guess i do like the sound of this better than actual therapy.
[ the promise of Kaito's praise and attention is way more motivating than any self-righteous bullshit people have tried to feed her before about improving herself. she doesn't care about being a stronger person, or independent, or confident. the only thing she needs is him.
sure, maybe nothing about them is normal or "healthy" but. what does it matter? this is what works for them. she's never been this happy. after suffering miserably for such a long time, why shouldn't she be allowed to live however she wants? ]
as long as you don't mind me complaining... i think i can live with that. plus, i want you to be satisfied, you know? even if sometimes that means i get worn out. i like it. that you want me that much. i do too.
Yeah. Besides, who's really gonna believe us outside of other crazy exceptional people?
[ There's something to be said for how easily he falls in line with that train or thought. 'We don't need anyone else but each other.'
Kaito's sure he's seen that theme explorer often in literature, and it rarely pans out well for the couple. But that's fiction. Reality is more nuanced—and they're more nuanced than a co-dependent couple.
He'll move mountains cross worlds for her. ]
Look at you, communicating your likes and desires. What a good girl.
I don't mind you complaining at all, y'know. That's part of the charm. Let's wear each other out, y'hear? I am very much also motivated by your satisfaction and pleasure.
[ agh. he has her so well-trained that even when it's just text on a screen, the words good girl from him make her blush so hard she overheats. not to mention everything else in that message also being unbearably sweet!! ]
[ even when it comes from Kaito, of course she can't believe it. she's spent lifetimes being told the opposite, knowing that there must be something about her that is undeserving of kindness. ]
[ He lets that sit for a moment before continuing. ]
Being a big sap and telling the truth are not mutually exclusive. You don't have to believe me right now. I'm not gonna pressure you to. But know that I believe it enough for the both of us.
[ her impulse is to lie or deflect, the way she's always known. it would be easy. he'd be happier if she weren't so difficult, so she could say that of course she believes him; she could brush it off, play cute about how embarrassing it is, how sweet he is to her.
but she also knows Kaito wants her to be honest as she is, when she can be. so, the best she can do is— ]
