[ He looked right up at Suga. He could probably do better than simply pass if he was motivated. The problem was staying motivated in his schoolwork (he had no problem in pretty much anything else). He'd be glad to have Suga's help. ]
Alright.
[ He bounced towards the bed. Much more comfortable than the closet. ]

50% of marriages ending in divorce includes people who have continuously made a terrible decision and been remarried multiple times, as well. I don't care to look at statistics from the typical population when assessing my own chances for happiness. ['never tell me the odds']
It's certainly a strange revelation to be having, for myself as well. It sounds like it may never be relevant for you in the sense of including a relationship, but perhaps it's good to know where you stand so that you can stand in that spot more firmly? We've touched briefly on how demanding others can be about this kind of thing.
[He gives her question some thought, but those ellipses turn into text soon enough.] I believe so. I don't know if I want a term for that beyond knowing that I'm not interested in anyone until I am, in fact, interested in someone, but that is how I would describe the sensation. I had never given thought, only an assumption, as to whether or not the sex of the other person might matter to me. I suppose I'm surprised to realize that even as a theoretical exercise, it does not.
[Hannibal feels a little betrayed, himself. He couldn't be with Murasaki - for a multitude of reasons - and while there's still a young kid's stubbornness in him that sometimes wants to get a plane ticket back to France and see her, he also knows that twenty-five years removed that it absolutely cannot happen. But he'd also thought of her as a potential fluke, not his norm expressing itself. Confronting this possibility for future attraction is being presented with new and unwanted data, and Hannibal can't help but handle it with suspicion right now.]
...You have a compelling point.
[please pardon hannibal while his ENTIRE BRAIN reboots]
What if the person I might be interested in romantically IS heterosexual, though? Hypothetically speaking.

Pretty much anything with cats. I'm sure that's a given. I still find keyboard cat adorable.
[ oops, his ego talking ]

[1/2] i approached him in 2008 at the opening of the fbi's 'evil minds research museum' which they were placing in the basement of the academy. told him i didn't really care for the name.
didn't really see him again except in passing until he asked me to consult for him on a case.
[2/2] i appreciate it. the ride and the tow.
uh, i'll probably just wait out front. red pickup truck, right?

I don't care what trash think. I've only got one master.
[ yyyyyyeah sorry he'd throw Vongola under the bus at one blink from Xanxus, basically. he may be infamous for his loyalty, but that loyalty is very specific. ]

Forced?
I might, as you Earthlings put it, 'go along with it' but if it was something I felt strongly about? I would never just 'accept' it.
I know that the Princess has told you what we value most in our respective Paladins. My Paladin and I are both quick to anger; we are fire, he and I, but like fire, we need a clear sky in which to burn and a douse of water in which to cool us.

You of all people should know I prefer crashing through it.
if i was genuinely worried, i wouldn't have answered
You don't have to do that, but thank you.
[ He never really had cared for a cat before, so it was appreciated. ]
You can come see her sometime if you want.

Then you do it
Watching you get stiff and nervous as he just passes by you was amusing at first, but now not so much.

why not?
you just asked me to help you

Rambunctious would be a good word for it...
Are you really gonna try to say you've never heard me suggest it?

[Shiro doesn't answer immediately. That's pretty insightful, he must admit, and he doesn't expect it from Red. She thought she would me more like Keith, attached to quick, simple thoughts that keep them going. She's a step or two ahead of her pilot.]
Maybe you should remind him of that, then. You've learned that lesson, but Keith hasn't. He comes to me when he has to, but it's still hard for him to rely on others. So I'm patient, and wait for the fire to warm me when it's ready. Water is not so patient, and forces the fire to start in the first place so it can douse it.

Confident enough that this reputation's gonna follow for another year or two before I have to start my own rumors, I think.
"Exactly"?

[1/3] I've often heard people say how terrible family get togethers are. I've never been to one, myself, so I'm gonna count that as a good thing.
[2/3] And I wasn't sure what you expect I am capable of doing, or am willing to do. Sorry. I guess accepting all this after my undercover stint is easier for you than it is for me sometimes.
[3/3] You've never really talked about your family before, I kind of figured you appeared out of an old trunk in someone's attic fully grown one day.

[ Red has 10,000 years on Keith. Not that she isn't impatient, hell, she let Keith take on Zarkon, after all. If anything, his desire to end everything then and now was only heightened by her own - her need for revenge, for what the former Black Paladin had done to Black; for what the former Black Paladin had been doing to the universe while they slept, for what had happened to the rest of their former Paladins - the list was endless as far as she was concerned.
If anything, she could only thank Zarkon for one thing - and that was for being the reason the fates brought her Keith. Well, the fates and Blue. She would eventually have to cave and thank the other lion for that at some point but that day was not today. ]
It is not a lesson so easily taught, Black Paladin. Even now, I'm prone to forget until Black reminds me.
[ She has no qualms admitting that - Shiro would already know, being the Black Paladin. ]
He will learn, in time. You all will.

Who said I was talking about skating?
But since we are now, want to meet at the rink? :)
