SO ALL THEY HAVE LEFT IS BITCHING AND SNARKING. WHOO. And Shuri suggested the whole peace treaty thing, and in Devit's eyes it's a good idea, because he doesn't have to hear "YOU DISGUSTING MONSTER" anymore. Devit knows Shuri still thinks that, because he knows all humans think it. It's programmed into him. The only humans he DOESN'T think think that are Teito and Hakuren, and it took months of development and Camp's truth posts to allow him to even begin to believe that he doesn't make Hakuren want to throw up. XD HE KNOWS SHURI THINKS IT. But he can still function around him as long as Shuri doesn't BRING IT UP, which is what the peace treaty is all about--"You stop calling me a monster and I stop wanting to stab you in the throat every time we talk." \o/ SO he likes it. He's glad Shuri thought of it and suggested it, because Devit's pride would never have allowed him to do so ( ... )

So all in all, Devit is in this weird place where . . . I DON'T EVEN KNOW. He likes Shuri a lot. But he also hates Shuri a lot. He hates Shuri because Shuri is human and an asshole and they've put a lot of time and effort into making one another miserable, and Shuri HATES DEVIT and thinks he is gross. But he likes Shuri because Shuri is accessible and similar to Devit and honest (or at least, dishonest in an obvious way) and interesting and easy to talk to. Devit bothers Shuri so much because he actually does like talking to him. He likes finding out about him and trying to give him advice, and bickering with him, and whatever other stupid thing comes out of it. He likes having someone who is his equal in emotional maturity. XD In a weird, budding way, he actually does care for Shuri. Their relationship was rock-bottom and the only way is up, and Devit finds that he doesn't mind the up-ness, that it actually is kind of neat to just talk to someone without tormenting them or making them hurt. He's done all the hurting he can ( ... )

The other reason Shuri's being stubborn is less morbid but for some reason the one he doesn't really consciously recognize, and that is that Shuri comes from a very different background. Hatred was never really real to him. In his world, nobody has ever, to his face, said the things Devit says to him. People pretend to like him, or they pretend to at least tolerate him, or even if they don't pretend at all, like Teito and Mikage, they just ignore him most of the time. He finds the ignoring REALLY ANNOYING yeah but at least they aren't repeatedly telling him how worthless he is so--? Shuri walks through life in his world knowing that people must hate him, but he never has to acknowledge it. It's never his problem. In camp, and with Devit, it suddenly is, because Devit lays everything out clearly and bluntly. He just does not know how to deal with someone openly hating him. There's no way he can pretend it's something other than what it is. And so the only way he knows how to deal with someone hating him is to hate them more ( ... )
