[ Closing his eyes for a moment, considering over the question and his response before opening them again, feelings a muddle of hesitation, nervousness, and a desire to be honest. ]
I... wish you'd feel more comfortable being yourself publicly. I think I get why things have turned out the way they have, you wanted to protect Wild City through a positive reputation and help the people who were taking care of you but... it's kinda like watching B trying to change himself to be more appealing to a general populace. It makes me worried that you'll both lose what makes you guys great, for the sake of other people who think that version of you is the real you.
I know in our memories, I said I'd never be a jerk the way you were to people, but the me right now really admires that fortitude. That you were unapologetic about the way you were, because you knew what you wanted and you wouldn't let anything stand in the way. That confidence and drive... I'm jealous of that even now.
And I think it's still inside you, it's just been pushed down deep because of our anxieties about what we needed to do to survive here. And... I don't know about you, but it doesn't make me happy being that way. That's why, I think, I've done everything I have over these last few days. I want to be happy doing what I want to do, without hesitation. I'd rather actively talk about things with my boys than worry about whether or not I should or shouldn't do something, because I think it might offend you in some way I made up in my head.
And I want you to be able to feel like you can do that too.
[Listening quietly, head resting on his shoulder. There's a small flare up of regret and a slight tinge of worry, but he's mostly just considering it.]
It's hard to get out of a cycle like that. I can do it. It's just going...gonna...take a while.
[ There's a spike of guilt at feeling Silver's feelings, spreading into his hesitation and nervousness. ]
-If you don't want to though, that's okay too. I don't want to push you to be something you don't like or want to be. I just... if you thought you couldn't be for any reason, I want you to know that you could be a demanding, pushy jerk, and I'd still love you anyway.
It was partly selfish. I like doing things with you and I wanted to make sure you got out. Plus it seemed like a good distraction for you. And I knew the boys would love it.
You can't ever predict what gets people horny. I just assume 'everything'. I really didn't think the costumes suited us though...like I thought it'd be more ha ha?

Maybe we'd even be able to convince C to let us move out the broken glass.

You can ask me anything you want. I'll answer honestly.

Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
I know. You're just supporting me. Nothing to feel guilt about, you're not a jerk.
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
I'm definitely a jerk. We both are. Pretty sure it's in our nature.
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
We're definitely both jerks, but it's fine. You only want to see me happy though, I get it.
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
I do.
... What kinds of things make you happy most, right now?
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
More brotherly time and cuddling? I want that too.
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
... I really did have fun during the maid live. I like being able to enjoy something silly together. Thanks for bringing me along.
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
I'm still not sure about the sexy appeal, I really thought it'd just be laughing and teasing.
[ But it smooths out to fond and happy. ]
... I'm glad you were selfish then. You should be more often.
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
[ Huffs a little into Silver's hair, but relaxing and content and... slight concern. ]
You okay with everything that happened during the live? I mean besides our... thing.
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
I wasn't okay with C telling Scythe to go for it, but we talked it out.
