I don't know what prompted this, I really don't. But it's a conversation that's been playing in my head for a while now. Here goes nothing, then.
"...I want to know why you did that."
" 'That'?"
"Don't play stupid, it doesn't suit you."
"...You were in trouble. I never pegged you for the reckless type, y'know."
"That...is none of your business. Why...we're not particularly close, are we? You're careless."
"...what...?"
"You got hurt. You took a risk for someone you don't know very well, because they were in trouble? Look...I doubt anyone's ever explained this to you, so listen up. You can't just selflessly protect people, can't go getting hurt for their sakes and expect them to be okay with that. When you get hurt, so does the person you're protecting."
"And what about you, then?"
"I knew. And I understood. It's okay to gamble when you at least know the risks you're taking. It's reckless to do it without knowing."
"I'm not sure I get the point, here..."
"I don't need you to protect me. I can stand on my own, y'know. And...I don't want your protection, if it means I'm going to have to watch you get hurt again. I'm grateful for what you did...but..."
"This has been bugging you for a while, hasn't it?"
"This particular issue has, although not exactly in this context. I've never much liked the idea of one person doing all the protecting without thought for how their injuries will effect the person they're trying to protect. If anything...I know I'm not the strongest, but I can change that..."
"...You're offering to fight together?"
"Well, I'd prefer the lack of fighting if at all possible...but yes. I don't expect you to protect me...that's not what friends do. I can offer to do whatever I can to help you. It's...it's something that should meet in the middle, y'know?"
"I think I get it...but why are you offering? Or even bothering to tell me all this?"
"I like you, 'sall. You're a decent person, if you'd only get your head on straight. It's worth taking some time on, in my mind."
"...alright, then."
Yeah...that was...weird. See if you can guess who's talking! And what they're reffering to! =D
And please don't kill me.
