[I assume at some random point Japan catches Marco being the masochist he is... Or he's reading the old threads. WHATEVER IT IS he's giving Marco a frown.]

[There is no shame so Marco just smooths his face to deadpan.] Nothing. [Puts his glasses on, they make him look more smart and help him get taken more seriously.] Oh yes, right, I was suggesting that Luka find someone strong to accompany her on excursions.

[I am so proud of Japan for once he sees right through this... In fact, he leans over and takes those glasses right off Marco, staring at him. Eye contact. Do you know how rare that is from Japan?]
August 2nd; actionfierybluebirdAugust 3 2011, 06:08:42 UTC
[Eyes widen. Don't steal his props man! How is he supposed to hide disguise?! Also. Dokidoki, Japan is close.]
Ah yes... but... she wanted someone for when she goes out without Gakupo. [Shifty and not making eye contact, but still mostly able to keep a straight face. He's not that easy to break.]
August 2nd; actionfierybluebirdAugust 3 2011, 06:20:15 UTC
[Why yes. Yes he does. And Marco's trying to back up just slightly to escape.]
What gave you that idea? [A brief flicker and he forces his face again to neutral, giving off a small sly smile as he still doesn't look Japan in the eyes.] I'm not allowed to be jealous, eh? Ace made that very clear to me ages ago. Just as well, I've doubt I'd kill people otherwise. [Side glance.] Though I don't see what that has to do with it. [Damn it, he wants the glasses back, but Japan looks cute with them ;;]

Marco... [Disappointed frown. He knows this method exactly, actually. Trying to disarm the argument, backing away, making excuses...
He leans closer to Marco again.]
This is self harm. [He knows self harm. He's... heading towards a city for that right now. But this... was Marco. He could see it, so he should stop it, right?]
Jealousy is not something that can be erased so easily. It is just voicing it that can be done away with. But why invoke it purposely? [He knows exactly why, but he's trying to get Marco to realize this is not... good...]

[Starts flushing and having trouble just breathing.]
I'm not --
[Shakes his head and trembles slightly.] Ah... he... [Clicks teeth shut. Okay Japan was right, but if he didn't talk at all then it'd be fine. Or something. That is his thinking.]
August 2nd; actionfierybluebirdAugust 3 2011, 07:08:32 UTC
D-don't...
[Glances down and keeps his eyes on the ground, bringing a hand to Kiku's hand and moving it down to hold onto it. And his voice is a little shaky for once.]
It's not like that. I know... [Closes his eyes and just holds a breath softly before steadying it some more.] He is who he is Bushido. Always a wildfire and I wouldn't change that. For the world. Gakupo... [Just glances away again, shutting down words once more.]
August 2nd; actionasideglanceAugust 3 2011, 07:16:17 UTC
You would not change it, yet it hurts, doesn't it? So is that true acceptance?
[He watches Marco for a moment longer before finally looking down himself]
I have tried to avoid opinion in such a matter... But Marco should not limit himself in such a way. [he's quiet though... limit himself like. only ace. ace who was a wildfire, right? ace who... was dead, right? those things did matter. he didn't want to say that, though. he just wanted marco to realize he was setting himself up for sadness with this... setting people up thing!]

[Tugs Japan down for a quick surprise kiss.]
I am not. That is why. Because I still love him too much that I can never be happy if he is not as much as I can help. Because I'd rather see Ace with a relative stranger than your female half. Because I asked Gakupo to intercede with you and changed my mind, but I have too much follow-through and since Sakura likes Gakupo I want to see them happy together and Ace and Luka together busies them with each other in a more neat and tidy way.
[Long blue-eyed gaze. There's more. A lot more. It's not even the tip of the iceberg but no other words seem to be forthcoming unless poked. Still, he hasn't started kidding around again yet, so it's probably a very rare opportunity to take advantage of quickly.]
Marco...

There are plenty of others. Isn't Marco the jealous type? [Did he just say that bluntly LMFAO HE DID WOW]

We are quite similar... in many ways, aren't we? [There's a pause.]
So forgive me if my initial question was misleading. I understand what Marco is doing here, but I do not understand why.
[ADMIRE THE GLASSES. B)]

Why do I have to have a why? I do plenty without a reason. [Lying still though~]

Being so close to Ace-kun... You cannot do this. [He looks really sad all of a sudden]
Harming yourself in order to feel. Is it because there is no return of these feelings on the level you would like?
