[orangehoodie]

Then he's way too old. He's almost ten years older than me. It's more of a crime than with you.

[orangehoodie]

It was my first time watching them with someone. So yeah -- they were nice.

[lowres]

Have you not watched them with your father?

[orangehoodie]

I have! But-- not with anyone else. You're the first friend I made from school, you know? Ever.

[lowres]

Everyone else is missing out. You aren't like everyone else.

[She tightens her own grip, now.]

I feel safe with you.

[orangehoodie]

... I made you run into a blackout territory infested with ghosts. [He holds her hand back firmly, though. If she feels safe, he'll make sure she keeps that feeling.] You find security in the wrong people.

[lowres]

You are not my friend because my father takes my friends and I to expensive places. [She's well aware that some girls do it--she doesn't hold it against them.]

[orangehoodie]

Well-- ["Duh," he wants to say, but he doesn't.] ... If you feel safe around me, I'll do whatever I can not to change it.

[lowres]

I do not think you could. [She smiles, swinging their hands a little bit.]

[pheromonecoffee]

[He laughs and pulls away a little.] So why blue hair?

[orangehoodie]

Nadia's hair is blue in places, too.

[orangehoodie]

I won't even try.

I don't think I can make anyone else feel safe though. People always have to help me out instead.

[lowres]

[She shakes her head!!!] There are many ways to make someone feel safe. I feel like I can share my secrets with you, and I feel like you care about me. I'm sure there are many others who feel the same way I do.

[pheromonecoffee]

[He makes a thinking noise and smiles at Ken.]

Am I going to have to give you the talk? You seem really interested in her.

[orangehoodie]

I-it's nothing like that. She's a friend. That means a lot because I don't have a lot of them.

[pheromonecoffee]

You stammered. [eyebrow raise]

[orangehoodie]

I don't like her like that.

[pheromonecoffee]

I know, I know. I'm teasing.

[orangehoodie]

... He can't replace you.

[He shakes his head.] Matthias Abbot is like a brother to me and he's my friend. Just because the world's got more people like me doesn't mean they're interchangeable.

[pheromonecoffee]

You're a good kid, Ken. [Matt rubs his hair.]

[orangehoodie]

[like you. i meant like you.

He smiles at Matt though, and like the brat he is he raises his own hand to rub Matt's hair back.]

But you can't go replacing me with other hero hostages either.

[pheromonecoffee]

[Wow ken wow only matt gets big bro gestures like that.]

It was temporary. You were hurt.

[orangehoodie]

But you can't replace me anymore because I won't get hurt.

[pheromonecoffee]

I promise. You can't be my nemesis because I promised Sasha and she will probably break up with me... but no other hostages.

[orangehoodie]

[He blinks]

Congratulations.

[On the girl, if she's going to break up with you that means you got together right.]
