Busted lip. Does anyone know any spells for that particular affliction? I would like it to be gone entirely. I have...fifteen minutes, give or take.

Then why can't you tell me about it?

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

Because you're always angry about it. Or judgmental. I'm tired of being called a crazy tramp who needs to sit down, shut up, and do whatever it is that other people want me to do. Except, you don't have anything you want me to do, just a lot of things that you don't want.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

I'm not! I just don't want you getting hurt!

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

You choose to show that by yelling or being rude.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

Well I'm pissed off.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

Why don't you tell me what you want me to do about it, instead of ranting? Do you want me to stop? Do you need a forewarning every time, or some sort of screening process...?

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

You don't have to stop. I mean, if it's not serious stuff, if you can fix it up with a potion. I just wanna... If you say you're not gonna fight someone, I don't wanna see you coming home all banged up. If you're gonna go out and do that, lemme know.

I meant it when I said it, I wasn't planning on it when I went. But he asked if I wanted to, I couldn't tell him no.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

You could've.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

I couldn't have. I would have felt terrible. Those arms are meant for fighting, I couldn't let them go to waste.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

You're so weird.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

You should see them. His left has these enormous scars on them.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

So you're seriously saying you went over there, to this guy who fights people for a living, and you're... you, and you weren't thinking anything was gonna happen?

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

I knew that it could have...but he didn't say anything one way or another, when we were making plans. Should I tell you every time I might get into a fight, as well? Because I imagine that would get fairly repetitive.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

Well don't play it off like oh there's no way you're gonna if you think you probably are gonna. You said you wouldn't, and then you did.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

No, Alfred, I really wasn't going to. Believe it or not, I am trying to keep my promises. Being a disappointment all the time isn't a pleasant feeling.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

[LILI HE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND YOU.]

Then why didn't you say no?

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

Because I haven't done it since the last day of school, and I wanted to feel good. I didn't think you would find out, since I got the...other bits fixed.

Action

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

Other bits?

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

Smaller injuries. Things that simple potions and spells can fix, like I told you.

Action

[He sighs, slumping down against the back of the couch.]

Isn't there anything else that makes you feel good? Like flying, or ice cream or... a boyfriend?

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

...I left the ice cream at Steven's. [Lili frowns, and lets out a sigh of her own.] Sure there is. Anything that gets the blood boiling. But I can't exactly go flying with so many muggles about.

[He'd forgotten about it. THANKS FOR REMINDING HIM NOW THAT IT'S GONE. ;~;]

We can go out to the country sometime or something. I'm not planning on staying on the ground all summer.

Action

[pornodancefight.livejournal.com]

That sounds lovely. We definitely should!

Action

[He turns to look at her again, a bit of a smile on his face.]

You should come running with me, too.
