"Do you believe in destiny, Mugen?" she asked him one day.
He knew better than to answer her whimsical question. She always said shit like this when she got around to thinkin' too much.
He merely scoffed in response.
"What's that mean?" Fuu retorted, looking a bit annoyed. "It was destiny that brought us together, wasn't it?" she snapped.
"Destiny gave me shit," Mugen said angrily. Fuu seemed surprised that she had inspired such a response. "I'm alive because I fucking choose to be, not because of some destiny bullshit."
Fuu fell silent, looking thoughtful.
"Does that mean that you choose to be with me?" she asked earnestly, looking at him with doe-like eyes that made him turn away, lest he become distracted by them.
"Keh. It means whatever the hell you want it to mean."
Fuu couldn't help but smile, because she knew it was the closest he'd ever come to saying he actually hung around her by choice.
