[She crossed her arms and looked away, staring intently at the door for a long quiet moment, before she looked him straight on for the first time since they'd sat down. Even under the mask and greasepaint, she looked tired.]

I liked you, you know. I really, really did. And you ... You just like being liked. It could be anybody.

[sleight_of_hand]

That's true.

[There was no point in lying about it, really.]

I'm not used to it... it's hard for me to recognize it when it's being directed at me. Hell, ask Souji-kun; he'll vouch for me being a stubborn ass.

[He paused a moment.]

...but sticking around with someone that can help keep me grounded would be great. If she wants to.

[itistolaugh]

[Her laugh was sharp and on the edge of bitterness.]

You haven't even given me a reason to give you another chance, Adachi. You don't want me. You're just lonely.

[sleight_of_hand]

[Adachi bit his lip, before finally glancing up at her as he reached out for her, letting his fingers brush along her hand.]

...yeah, maybe. But I'd still like you to be the one to stay. Please?

[itistolaugh]

[Her fingers twitched when he touched her, and she had to force herself to leave her hand still, neither retreating or returning the gesture.]

Why. Why me, why stay? You're asking me for a hell of a lot and you aren't even giving me anything.

[sleight_of_hand]

'Cause... well, yeah, we had some wild times in private, but... I like you. And... I want to make things up to you.

[He was near pleading, and he didn't want to go that far. Couldn't she see the apology in his face?]

[itistolaugh]

[She wanted to hear him say it. She needed it.]

... If ... If you want me to stay, if it really does have to be me, and I'm not saying I believe that's true...

Well, then you have to make me want that too.

[sleight_of_hand]

Uh...

[He paused at that, not sure... what to do to make her want to. Other than puppy dog eyes, because he was good with those.]

...what can I do?

[itistolaugh]

[She was clearly disappointed with that answer. Was he even trying? Had he always been so ... inept? Jesus, how had such a loser played her so badly.]

Some stuff went down back home and I need to lie low for a while, stay out of the way until it blows over. So. Yeah. I am staying, at least for a little bit.

[sleight_of_hand]

[His lips twitched up into a smile.]

Well... I can let you crash at my place?

[itistolaugh]

Hell. No. You're going to have to do better than that to get me back in your bed, asshole.

[sleight_of_hand]

[Adachi held his hands up.]

I didn't mean it like that! I'll take the couch.

[itistolaugh]

No. Still no. Very, very no. I'll find something else thanks.

[She drummed her fingers on the table, scrutinizing everything about him.]

But! But. If you really mean it, if you want me to stick around, well. ... Call me up sometime, ask me out again, and we'll see.

[sleight_of_hand]

[Adachi paused a moment, before he smiled brightly.]

...definitely.

[itistolaugh]

But if you make me regret it even once, I swear to god I'll kill you in a second.

[sleight_of_hand]

Eh...heh...

[Adachi couldn't help but let out an awkward laugh, rubbing at the back of his neck. After a moment, he peered over at her again, feeling his mouth go dry.]

...hey, uh... I'm... uh...

[itistolaugh]

[She smiled brightly at him. Not the way she used to, like he was the best and brightest thing in her world, but it was a damn sight better than the hurt and tired frown she'd been wearing this entire conversation so far.]

Selfish? Egoistic? A total dickhead?

[sleight_of_hand]

[He smiled sheepishly.]

Yeah, yep, and yes.

[He deflated again, those puppy dog eyes coming back as he looked at her.]

...and... uh... sorry, too.

[itistolaugh]

[She looked away quickly. Don't you try those eyes on her, mister!]

Yeah, well! You should be!

[sleight_of_hand]

[Adachi stared a moment, before he smirked slightly.]

...do I need to show how sorry I am, or are we good with an apology?

[itistolaugh]

Of course we aren't good with an apology! If you're really sorry, you need to show it! Do you think I'd accept it just on your say-so, you ass?

[sleight_of_hand]

Well, it would have been easy so... no, not really.

[itistolaugh]

It's not like you've got a good track record. You're on probation, mister.

[sleight_of_hand]

[Adachi let out an awkward noise, sitting back in his seat. Probation? Really?]

Y-yeah...

[itistolaugh]

What's your endgame, Tohru? What are you really after here?
