No. You'll lose respect for me.

[Like you have so much dignity now, Kyle.]

I'm sorry I made you come up on my shame roof. Were you having a nice day?

[natzoom]

I won't. Don't be silly. But if you don't want to talk about it, you don't need to.

[Continued shoulder-patting.] It was fine, just taking a walk. Stretching my legs. Thinking.

[kyley_b]

Thinking about what?

[natzoom]

My place in the universe. What to make for dinner. One of those, usually.

[kyley_b]

Why not both?

[natzoom]

One thing at a time, otherwise I get a headache. [His cat tail is moving to rest across the top of Kyle's head now, patting gently.] Do you have a headache?

[kyley_b]

...yeah. A little.

Your tail is SO cute.

[natzoom]

Mmmm, probably because you've been drinking, and not water, so you're dehydrated. [The mom has become the mommed! My, my, how the turn tables.]

Thank you. It has it's uses. [Like twitching until it's hanging down in Kyle's face and swishing across his nose.]

[kyley_b]

Yeah. Yeah, but like. I'm allowed. I'm an adult.

[Which just sets him giggling.] I see that. It's great. You guys are so great.

[natzoom]

Mmm, yes, you are, good job. [So adult. The adulty-est.

Since laughter is better than Batman-ing, Natsume just keeps tickling Kyle's nose with his tail.] So are you. This place would fall apart without you.

[kyley_b]

Thank you!

[Yeah, although be careful not to get him cackling TOO hard or he might roll off the roof.]

No it wouldn't. But thank you. For just believing in me. Even if I'm am idiot asshole.

[natzoom]

[That's why Natsume is gently grabbing onto his shirt. Cause his tiny little noodle arms are gonna be able to stop that.]

It would too! Revelry in the firepits, people setting off fireworks in dry grass. We need you down there.

[Noseboop with the tail.] Nobody thinks that about you, except the cruel things in your head.

[kyley_b]

Oh my god, they're not really setting off fireworks are they?! [SO DISTRESSING!]

Right, right, but I didn't mean it in a BAD way exactly. Just like a, hey sometimes I'm a dumbass way.

What do you think is romantic?

[natzoom]

They are. Yuri did. [Absolutely no loyalty, this guy. Throw a fellow catboy under the bus.]

I see. Sometimes it's tricky to tell if you mean things jokingly or if you're being mean to yourself.

Objectively or to me specifically?

[kyley_b]

Oh my god! Yuri!

Well. Sometimes it is mean. But mostly only if it's physical.

Uhhh either.

[natzoom]

Off of a roof. [Emphatic nodding goes here.]

Mmmmm, objectively I'd say...giving people gifts or saying things you wouldn't normally say, or doing big grand gestures is romantic, isn't it? [He absently grabs his tail and pulls it into his lap, so Kyle doesn't have to breathe in cat fluff.] For me, though, I find someone just spending time with me much more romantic. Someone bothering to listen to the things I say and remembering them. Maybe my standards are a bit different.

[kyley_b]

He's in so much trouble...

No. I like your standards. I like those things, too. I don't like grand gestures - they never seem to work out. I, uhm, I wrote a song once, for a girl I liked when I was little.

[natzoom]

[Smug catface.] You should ground him. Take away his sword.

If they're too grand, it's just overwhelming, in my opinion. It's better to have it be...smaller, but more genuine. [Cue a soft gasp.] A song? That's so nice, Kyle!

[kyley_b]

I WILL!

Yeah, exactly! More genuine and less embarrassing.

Well, I was like... eight. It was a terrible song.

I'm bad at being romantic, I think.

[natzoom]

Of course, there's something inherently embarrassing in being genuine. That's how you know you mean it.

[He chuckles, bemused.] I don't think that means you're bad at romance. Unless you're referring to something more recent?

[kyley_b]

Yeah. Yeah, but less... 'put you on the spot on the JumboTron.' More personal cringe.

[DRUNK SIGH.] I haven't had any practice! How am I supposed to know what's not lame?

[natzoom]

[Oh dear, is it time for more shoulder-patting?]

I suppose it's just...trial and error, then? The worst that can happen is, um. Rejection. [Actually, that's a very bad thing to have happen, oops.]

[kyley_b]

[SIIIIIGH.]
