[He used Aaron? He wonders if Aaron feels that way. He wonders his Kiryu suspects that they’re more than just good friends.

…or if Aaron even feels that way. Probably not the best time to mull over these things, while he’s being chewed out.]

He offered answers where he had no business saying anything at all. [His expression darkens as he speaks — it’s hard to disguise his hatred for that man.]

When it was his fault I even wanted Baxia to begin with!

[lone_horse]

Saying shit you don't like isn't a reason to kill people.

[ And his eyes narrow. ]

And that's bullshit. He did what he did. But what you want is your own choice. You don't get to offload that on him.

[threedontknows]

Of course what I want is my choice. You wanted a reason, and I gave it to you. [What else does Kiryu want him to say? It isn't as though he's lying about why he did it.]

He dared to speak about Da-ge, the man that he tortured and killed and then used for his own twisted purposes, so I asked Aaron to kill him.

[lone_horse]

And you think you did nothing wrong?

[ Fuck is it like talking to Daigo. Of course, that was when he was 12. ]

[threedontknows]

[Hm. That's an interesting question.]

I can tell that you're upset by it.

[lone_horse]

That isn't what I asked.

[threedontknows]

[Da-ge wouldn't have fallen for that either.]

I think wrong is subjective. Maybe it was wrong, but it felt good.

[lone_horse]

So you think it's more important to do something that feels good than to do the right thing?

[threedontknows]

[He shakes his head.] I said 'maybe'. Maybe it was wrong, but to me it felt right. If I was doing what I felt was right, wouldn't that be important to me?

[lone_horse]

Did it feel right or did it satisfy an itch, like an animal scratching?

The two aren't the same thing.

[threedontknows]

I'm patient; I don't give into impulses if I can help it. Any time that man suffers it feels just.

[lone_horse]

[ That's a snort. He knows when that post went up. Patient his ass. ]

It was days. Doesn't sound very patient to me.

And there's nothing 'just' about killing a man for words.

[threedontknows]

I wanted him to die before then.

[Although he'll admit that the punch was impulsive, but hey! That doesn't negate that he can be patient when he wants to be.]

He didn't actually die though, so technically it's unfinished work.

[lone_horse]

So you care about unfinished work now?

[threedontknows]

[Low blow. Nie Huaisang just smiles.]

When it’s important, of course.

[lone_horse]

[ Honest blow. ]

What do you think I'm going to do about this?

[threedontknows]

Figure out a way to punish me.

[The ‘what’ he’s not sure of. More work, loss of privileges?]

[lone_horse]

And what did you think that was going to be when you decided to do it?

[threedontknows]

Honestly, I couldn’t say. I don’t know if you like creative punishments or not.

[lone_horse]

So you didn't even think of the consequences.

[ A pause. ]

Because you feel safe with me?

[threedontknows]

[Another very silly question.]

Of course I feel safe with you.

[He’s…he’s like his da-ge. If someone had been bad-mouthing him he probably would have had the same reaction.

…maybe has had a similar reaction already.]

[lone_horse]

[ He considers that and makes his decision. It doesn't take him that long to come to it either; he'd been pretty sure of what he wanted for a while.]

I agree with Jesus-san that you won't speak to Aaron-san for a few days.

[ Unsurprising, but- ]

And starting today, you're going to join me in the gym every day. And I'm going to teach you the style that I'm heir to: the Komaki style of martial arts.

[threedontknows]

[No reaction to the first piece, but the second —

He groans softly, just out of habit. His warden is clearly a disciplined man; these training sessions are going to be a bitch.

Huaisang straightens himself out and bows slightly.]

What time would you like me to join you?

[lone_horse]

...not the morning.

[ Fuck that, okay. He does not have kids around who wake him up for school, hell no is he waking up early. ]

What time do you wake up?

[threedontknows]

Usually before the end of breakfast service.

[He used to be worse.]
