. . . Oh.

[He says it very quietly, and only after a small pause; and then after that pause, he pauses again, and he doesn't think about anything much. He's being quite so that he can be in this moment, this moment exactly as it is, and make sure he remembers it forever.]

[He hasn't actually smiled this whole time. He doesn't realize he's smiling now. But he is, just a little, faint and fond.]

Mm. Noriaki, then. But if you piss me off, it's full names all the way. That's how it works in my family.

[lapidarius]

That's fine. I don't really plan on making you angry.

[A brighter, earnest smile crossed Kakyoin's face before he even realized one had started.]

Just don't use the other one and we've got a deal.

[mylegacy]

Which — oh. That one.

[He shakes his head very seriously.]

I'd never.

[lapidarius]

I know that you wouldn't. I was only joking, forget it.

[mylegacy]

If anyone else does, I can punch them for you.

[c:]

[lapidarius]

You're actually implying I need other people to do my punching for me? I'm hurt and offended--I might not hit very hard, but I manage when it counts.

[mylegacy]

You don't need it, I would just find it satisfying.

[lapidarius]

I hope it's still as satisfying if I've hit them first.

[mylegacy]

Of course, it's not like I've ever played fair.

[lapidarius]

Playing fair isn't nearly as fun.
