A relief, I guess. I just...didn't know what you meant. Saying it's because it's who I am...it's not as though I'm the kind of person that runs around stealing trucks all the time.
You're not the kind of person who keeps your head down and your nose in a cram school textbook all the time, either.
You're smart. Cunning. Resourceful. Brave. I meant that who you are is a lot more than what meets the eye. That...people who don't know that about you are missing out.
Can you really say that, and then turn around and call me some kind of "source of hope", like you were saying the other day? I'm not any more special than you are.

Maybe I just think it's cool.

Don't do that. I don't understand what you're getting at; that doesn't mean I don't care.
...Did you think it was something more complicated than just teasing you?

Date: 2015-09-10 03:36 am (UTC)I didn't mean it to be. So now tell me: is that...a relief, or a disappointment?

I seriously doubt they're missing out on that much where I'm concerned.

...sorry. You're right, it's probably not fair of me to look at it that way.

And you don't look like a delinquent. Or if you do, you look like just enough of one to be cool.

Thanks.

Is it okay that I call you the same thing they do? I just realized that I never thought about whether or not it would be annoying.
