Woo. Go team.

Time for another night out in the city, it seems. She decides to dress for the occassion, wearing a shirt that says ‘Don’t talk to be about my feelings’.

..

He smiles, a little on edge.

“I know it might be a little unpopular to say so…but it really is a complicated issue. I don’t think most would steal unless they absolutely had to. I don’t mind if someone gets angry that I say as much, especially if it might help someone else.”

“ Well, more power to you, I guess. Long as you can handle it..  ”

Oh no… Compliments.

                ❛   A theme song ?   ❜   A  pause.   ❛   Well… was it good, at least ?   ❜

((-WHEN THERES TROUBLE YOU KNOW WHO TO CALL–!!

“I’ve been stealing from them, so I guess that’s kind of a refund. Money goes to charity, it’s a win-win.”

Her blank stare persists for a few seconds before, eventually, something cracks. A chink in her otherwise flawless armor causes a very light snort to make it past her lips. A genuine, honest to goodness smile from the queen of frowns herself.

               “ Did you get something different? Or the complete opposite? “

Oh.. Fuck.

“ .. Nope. Same thing you got. And something about my soul being blacker than the dead of night or whatever. Not that it matters, right? It’s just some random silly thing.. ” 

“Of course the ratings are bereft of any inherent meaning or point.  But I think the fun is in the reactions people have to them.  What they mean is a matter of how much stock one places in them, like a fortune teller’s readings.”

“ Fun for some people, maybe.. Oh well. I’m not going to rain on anyone’s parade. If this is how they get their kicks, then they can do whatever they want. ”

      “ I know what you’re thinking– being pure doesn’t necessarily always have to relate to what  everyone thinks it does. “

“ Oh. Uh.. R-Right. Yeah, you got me. Wrong assumption on my part. ”

“Compliments? …Thank you, but it’s less sincere when offered as sympathy…”

“ No, I.. Just.. Take these. ”
