Abe vs. Haruna: Crushes
Who: Abe Takaya, Haruna Motoki
What: Abe starts a chat with Haruna in order to find out what he thinks he knows about Abe's crush.
How & When:Chat. After Haruna's taunting in this thread.
Warnings: LOTS OF ARGUING. OFTEN IN CAPS.
s_abe_rmetrics: Oi! Motoki! Are you online?
ihatecusto: Obviously I am online! You can see me can't you!
s_abe_rmetrics: I haven
t used the chat feature yet
give me a break
Anyway, I've got some questions for you.
ihatecusto: Oh~~~ I hope I can answer them passionately enough for you. I can turn on the caps lock feature if you want.
s_abe_rmetrics: Oh, for the love of-
Look, what's all this about you thinking you know anything about me and a crush?
I'd like to know how you came to this conclusion.
ihatecusto: Make a post on your journal that you don't end up locking two minutes later asking me and maybe i'll tell you.
a PUBLIC post
s_abe_rmetrics: You- you saw that?
God, it was up for maybe 80 seconds.
ihatecusto: I'M TELLING YOU. I'M A NINJA.
s_abe_rmetrics: Or an obsessive page refresher.
Anyway, I don't know what you think that proves.
ihatecusto: Or maybe I just have your journal pinned or whatever. I get email notifs when you or Akimaru post since I figure I need to get in on some of this sneaky spy action. THAT YOU HAVE PERFECTED.
Did I say I thought that proved anything?
s_abe_rmetrics: No, but that's what you insinuated.
ihatecusto: Go ahead, make a post and beg me to confess my idea about your crush!
s_abe_rmetrics: Why the hell would I do that?
ihatecusto: I don't want your brother thinking I am bullying you so you need to publically ask me to tell you.
s_abe_rmetrics: This doesn't have anything to do with my brother!
ihatecusto: I HAVE A LOT OF INTERESTING IDEAS, DON'T YOU WANT TO KNOW THEM TAKAYA???
s_abe_rmetrics: Ugh. Lay off the caps. I'd love to know your interesting ideas, but I'd also not share them with the rest of the network.
It would cause problems whether they're right or wrong.
ihatecusto: You and your "problems." You worry too much you know.
s_abe_rmetrics: I figured that out by now, yeah.
ihatecusto: anyway i cannot think of any reason in the world why i should tell you the secret thoughts inside my head. these are my own secret thoughts! i was never planning on revealing them anyway.
i figured that Shun is too awesome that even if you did bully you he would never own up to it. he is a million times cuter than you.
er bully him
you know what i mean
s_abe_rmetrics: If I bullied him he'd own up to what?
ihatecusto: never tell me that you bullied him, thus triggering my crush-revealing instinct!
s_abe_rmetrics: Ah. I see.
Look, I don't want people getting the wrong idea about things, and if you've come to some sort of conclusion, I just want to make sure no one else might be coming to those conclusions too
ihatecusto: oh i am sure that THE OBJECT OF YOUR AFFECTIONS already knows.
s_abe_rmetrics: W-what?
That's absolutely ridiculous.
There are no affections to be-
objected
or whatever
I don't have affections! I am totally unaffectionate!
ihatecusto: that's not what i remember from our time in the seniors!
s_abe_rmetrics: WHT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN
Having emotions does not equal having crushes
ihatecusto: sighs in the olden days, you used to be so cute... what happened?
s_abe_rmetrics: You did.
I know you...tried to apologize or whatever.
But what happened happened.
And so now I'm not cute anymore.
ihatecusto: well at least you admit it
anyway did you make the post yet?
s_abe_rmetrics: What post?
ihatecusto: I'll answer you if you do. I'LL EVEN ANSWER YOU IN PRIVATE
the post publically begging me to reveal my suspicions!
s_abe_rmetrics: You want me to make a public post asking you you reveal how you think I have a crush and on whom?
Why is that necessary, again?
This is private too.
You can answer me privately here. Now.
ihatecusto: or i can not. I told you the terms under which I will tell you my thoughts. take it or leave it you know?
s_abe_rmetrics: Ugh. Why are your parameters for things SO ARBITRARY?
You are so frustrating.
ihatecusto: i dont want akimaru later accusing me of bullying you when you inevitably complain to him ab out how awful i am and use this as an example
i have enough problems with him as it is
ughh I am even going to read bleach!!!!
s_abe_rmetrics: Why would I complain to him about this if I don't want anybody to know about it?
ihatecusto: i dont know. so much of what you do makes no sense to me
s_abe_rmetrics: Well, that makes two of us.
So what if I said I wasn't going to cite this conversation in my complaints about you to anyone?
Just between you and me.
Like it never happened.
ihatecusto: uh
well
to be honest i don't really want to tell you my suspicions
s_abe_rmetrics: ...no kidding.
And why is that?
ihatecusto: because you wont believe me and then you will cry to Muscles without telling him what I said and then Muscles will be all sad for no reason
s_abe_rmetrics: I will not cry.
And I will not cry to Mihashi.
I don't worry that guy more than he's already worried about everything.
don't /want to/ worry
ihatecusto: anyway i don't know if want to tell you this under any reasons
s_abe_rmetrics: Yet you keep giving me reasons that I continue to rebuke.
ihatecusto: you'll just be mad at me i know it
s_abe_rmetrics: I'm already mad at you, what have you got to lose!?
ihatecusto: madder
s_abe_rmetrics: You can handle it.
You always have.
ihatecusto: what the hell is that suposed to mean?!!!
s_abe_rmetrics: You're a big boy and you can handle me being mad at you!
You handled me for your last year with Todakita, it can't be worse than that!
ihatecusto: anyway THIS INFORMATION IS EMBARASSING FOR YOU TOO AND I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THAT
s_abe_rmetrics: ...you don't want to embarrass me?
How thoughtful.
ihatecusto: I am really an awesome person you know!!!
s_abe_rmetrics: How could I forget.
Look. I don't care if it's embarrassing.
I just want to know what people are assuming about me.
ihatecusto: Anyway so long as you are in denial about whetehr you even have a crush I should not tell you anything.
s_abe_rmetrics: Ugh.
If I conceded that I /had/ a crush, would that make you tell me /who/ you think I have it on?
IF.
ihatecusto: I don't know. maybe.
s_abe_rmetrics: You are such a pain in my ass.
In case it wasn't abundantly clear that this is how I felt.
ihatecusto: i just need to know you are prepared to handle this in a mature and grown up fashion! I am your senpai after all! If you won't even admit it to yourself then I don't think you're ready to hear it
s_abe_rmetrics: Like I said, IF I DID, would you tell me?
ihatecusto: I MIGHT
depended on how half assed you were abotu admiting it
s_abe_rmetrics: Ugh.
ihatecusto: i mean you've practically admitted it already so why not just take the jump and go all the way?
s_abe_rmetrics: Because it means giving you the satisfaction of winning, obviously.
ihatecusto: i've already won and you don't even realize it because I DON'T CARE about your stupid pissing matches
s_abe_rmetrics: Like hell, Mr. Abs duel!
ihatecusto: that has nothing to do with you! it's between me and akimaru!
s_abe_rmetrics: You're the king of pissing matches and you know it!
ihatecusto: i pity you if you think the abs duel is a pissing match
s_abe_rmetrics: And I pity you for having abs duels in the first place. Especially when your opponent is at such an obvious disadvantage.
Look, topic at hand!
You know I have a crush, and if I admit that, you're going to get all smug, not about being right, but about getting me to admit it.
SO fine. Maybe I have a crush on someone.
That's a totally normal thing.
For people to have.
ihatecusto: yes it is
that's why you don't need to be so stupid about it
s_abe_rmetrics: Well, having a crush is complicated! Admit that, and you need to admit how it affects your relationship with someone!
Sometimes denying it makes it easier to deal with.
ihatecusto: so how long have you been aware of your crush?
s_abe_rmetrics: Wait, why are YOU the one asking the questions?
I just want to know who you think I have a crush on and why!
ihatecusto: i am still trying to figure out if I should tell you at all!
s_abe_rmetrics: I admitted I had one! And I even meant it!
ihatecusto: i'm trying to be responsible here! give me credit!
s_abe_rmetrics: How is this being responsible?
ihatecusto: i need to know if you are ready to handle the consequences of your feelings
s_abe_rmetrics: Consequences?
ihatecusto: you have always been kind of of immature you know
s_abe_rmetrics: Why are you suddenly the expert on consequences of having crushes??
Immature???
ihatecusto: because i had a crush, once.
s_abe_rmetrics: Once.
ihatecusto: it ended tragically
s_abe_rmetrics: I'm sure you were in tears.
For a week.
ihatecusto: i was stunned and upset for a long time!
s_abe_rmetrics: Are you saying I have to be prepared for being turned down?
ihatecusto: that is exactly what I am saying!
s_abe_rmetrics: And you're saying you can't tell me who you think I have a crush on, because my crush may turn me down and you think I can't handle that?
That makes no sense. You may not even be right about who it is!
ihatecusto: oh i'm right. I'm soo right
there aren't actually a lot of options you know
s_abe_rmetrics: Fine, forget that part, then!
Why do you have to not tell me who you think I like because I might get turned down?
Having a crush doesn't equal confessing anyway!
ihatecusto: because i think your crush is too committed to baseball at the moment and doesn't need you complicating things for him! (and yes i said HIM so that is a clue!)
s_abe_rmetrics: You think I'm gay!?
AND THIS IS ABOUT PROTECTING MY CRUSH?
ihatecusto: why does liking a guy automatically mean gay? Jeez, Takaya. That's the other reson not to tell you.
you are too black and white, too you're with me or you're against me
s_abe_rmetrics: I think liking a guy narrows down your sexual orientation options a bit, yeah.
ihatecusto: anyway i read about homosexuality once and i don't think there is anything wrong with it!
s_abe_rmetrics: Thanks for being so open minded, Motoki.
But you're saying you don't want to tell me who you think my crush is because my knowing that might complicate things for /him/?
ihatecusto: you can't even handle someone teasing you about makeup when YOU ADMIT YOU WEAR IT
s_abe_rmetrics: It's not like I'm parading around in eyeliner and lipstick!
ihatecusto: AND SO HOW CAN I EXPECT YOU TO HANDLE REJECTION EVEN IF IT'S NICE REJECTION? God!
s_abe_rmetrics: YOU MAKE NO SENSE, MOTOKI
You telling me who you think my crush is has no bearing on how I would handle rejection, you know!
ihatecusto: YES IT DOES because it makes a difference in how I think that your inevitable crap reaction will make the person who rejects you feel!
s_abe_rmetrics: I WILL NOT HAVE A CRAP REACTION
ihatecusto: YOU ARE HAVING A CRAP REACTION RIGHT NOW
s_abe_rmetrics: ONLY BECAUSE YOU ARE SO FREAKING CONDESCENDING
ihatecusto: I AM NOT CONDESCENDING I AM RIGHT
s_abe_rmetrics: YOU CAN BE BOTH, NO?
ihatecusto: I DON'T EVEN KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD (CONDESCENDING. I mean)
s_abe_rmetrics: ...what?
Seriously, Motoki.
You keep talking down to me, like I'm some kind of child! Like you know /so much more/ than I do, because you're /so worldly/ and know so much better than I do!
I'm only a year younger than you! And no less worldly! SO you know what? I don't need to know your stupid ideas!
ihatecusto: YOU MEAN A YEAR AND SEVEN MONTHS
s_abe_rmetrics: I don't care who you think my crush is. Because I don't care what you think!
ihatecusto: MIGHT AS WELL BE TWO!
well, your crush is obviously a baseball person. and a boy.
s_abe_rmetrics: DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY YOU ACT LIKE A TEN YEAR OLD
We've established that!
ihatecusto: AHAH THEN YOU DO ADMIT IT! WITHOUT ANY WEASELY QUALIFIERS!!!
s_abe_rmetrics: Does that satisfy you?
That I admit to liking a boy who plays baseball?
It makes you happy to see me fess up to painful stuff like this?
Well, fine. Now you've got it.
ihatecusto: No, it doesn't make me happy.
It makes me sad, actually.
sad that you're so stuck on pitchers, that you can't branch out into something that is more healthy for you, Takaya!
s_abe_rmetrics: Stuck on pitchers?
Plural?
You don't think I liked Izumi?
ihatecusto: pitchers are obviously your type
and I don't even know who the hell Izumi is!
s_abe_rmetrics: What with me telling him how pretty he was, like a million times.
Oh.
Well.
Nevermind that, then.
And I don't have a type.
I only like nice people who don't yank me around.
In any case, it's clear who you think my crush is, so, I'll just be going now.
You won't have to worry about any bad reactions either.
It's not like I could ever tell him something like that.
ihatecusto: oh, you don't need to tell him
he already knows
s_abe_rmetrics: Then why haven't I been rejected, yet, smarty pants?
ihatecusto: because he likes you a lot as a person and doesn't want to see you get hurt, obviously.
s_abe_rmetrics: And you know this, because...?
No. Nevermind.
It's not like I don't know all this already.
I didn't plan on confessing anyway.
ihatecusto: Oh Takaya, Takaya, Takaya
s_abe_rmetrics: So look, no one is going to get hurt or have bad reactions or anything.
Dont /repetitively first name/ me
ihatecusto: you just as good as confessed right now.
i'm so sorry, I just don't like you that way
s_abe_rmetrics: ...
Well.
ihatecusto: not that I have any problems with homosexual people
i don't want you thinking that!
s_abe_rmetrics: um
ihatecusto: so anyway, I set you free. think of it that way. your emotional dependence can now be over. maybe if i wasn't such an amazing pitcher, perhaps it could be...
s_abe_rmetrics: Right.
Well.
That sure is good to know.
Um...thanks for...letting me down... gently. And all.
ihatecusto: but don't worry i won't hold it against you, since the deep feelings of your heart are I am sure something you can't help
s_abe_rmetrics: /Right./
Deep feelings.
They sure are deep.
ihatecusto: I am glad you can admit it.
I have to admit you're taking this better than I thought. Probably you're in shock.
s_abe_rmetrics: I...have to go now.
And...
ihatecusto: okay
s_abe_rmetrics: um.
Yeah.
ihatecusto: sorry
s_abe_rmetrics: It's, uh.../really/ okay.
Really.
ihatecusto: yeah, but i'm really sorry!
see, wasn't that a great apology!
s_abe_rmetrics: Sure! Excellent apology!
Never seen a better one in my life.
I'm going to go...uh...assuge my sorrow with ice cream or something.
ihatecusto: oh Takaya. I can see through your pathetic attempts to make a joke out of your sad feelings.
but that's okay
enjoy your ice cream
s_abe_rmetrics: Thanks. Goodnight, Motoki.
What: Abe starts a chat with Haruna in order to find out what he thinks he knows about Abe's crush.
How & When:Chat. After Haruna's taunting in this thread.

Anyway, I don't know what you think that proves.

s_abe_rmetrics: Does that satisfy you?
That I admit to liking a boy who plays baseball?
It makes you happy to see me fess up to painful stuff like this?
Well, fine. Now you've got it.
ihatecusto: No, it doesn't make me happy.
It makes me sad, actually.
sad that you're so stuck on pitchers, that you can't branch out into something that is more healthy for you, Takaya!
s_abe_rmetrics: Stuck on pitchers?
Plural?
You don't think I liked Izumi?
ihatecusto: pitchers are obviously your type
and I don't even know who the hell Izumi is!
s_abe_rmetrics: What with me telling him how pretty he was, like a million times.
Oh.
Well.
Nevermind that, then.
And I don't have a type.
I only like nice people who don't yank me around.
In any case, it's clear who you think my crush is, so, I'll just be going now.
You won't have to worry about any bad reactions either.
It's not like I could ever tell him something like that.
ihatecusto: oh, you don't need to tell him
he already knows
s_abe_rmetrics: Then why haven't I been rejected, yet, smarty pants?
ihatecusto: because he likes you a lot as a person and doesn't want to see you get hurt, obviously.
s_abe_rmetrics: And you know this, because...?
No. Nevermind.
It's not like I don't know all this already.
I didn't plan on confessing anyway.
ihatecusto: Oh Takaya, Takaya, Takaya
s_abe_rmetrics: So look, no one is going to get hurt or have bad reactions or anything.
Dont /repetitively first name/ me
ihatecusto: you just as good as confessed right now.
i'm so sorry, I just don't like you that way
s_abe_rmetrics: ...
Well.
ihatecusto: not that I have any problems with homosexual people
i don't want you thinking that!
s_abe_rmetrics: um
ihatecusto: so anyway, I set you free. think of it that way. your emotional dependence can now be over. maybe if i wasn't such an amazing pitcher, perhaps it could be...
s_abe_rmetrics: Right.
Well.
That sure is good to know.
Um...thanks for...letting me down... gently. And all.
ihatecusto: but don't worry i won't hold it against you, since the deep feelings of your heart are I am sure something you can't help
s_abe_rmetrics: /Right./
Deep feelings.
They sure are deep.
ihatecusto: I am glad you can admit it.
I have to admit you're taking this better than I thought. Probably you're in shock.
s_abe_rmetrics: I...have to go now.
And...
ihatecusto: okay
s_abe_rmetrics: um.
Yeah.
ihatecusto: sorry
s_abe_rmetrics: It's, uh.../really/ okay.
Really.
ihatecusto: yeah, but i'm really sorry!
see, wasn't that a great apology!
s_abe_rmetrics: Sure! Excellent apology!
Never seen a better one in my life.
I'm going to go...uh...assuge my sorrow with ice cream or something.
ihatecusto: oh Takaya. I can see through your pathetic attempts to make a joke out of your sad feelings.
but that's okay
enjoy your ice cream
s_abe_rmetrics: Thanks. Goodnight, Motoki.
