What is love?

There were other factors too. We used to live together, so we were closer because we saw each other all the time. And they were a friend, but not just a friend.

I guess I don't know how to explain it. I only know how I feel.

[erogappa]

Not all? How many of your friends do you want to make out with?

[unlucky7]

Are you saying you don't have friends you'd like to make out with?

[erogappa]

I don't have many friends.

[unlucky7]

You don't need a lot of friends. The ones you have are important and you can always make more if you want.

Can I turn a question back on you? Do you love your friends?

[erogappa]

Sometimes I feel safe with them. Sometimes I feel happy with them. I definitely don't want to kiss them.

Is that love?

[unlucky7]

I don't see why not.

[erogappa]

But what if there is somebody that you fight with all the time and you sometimes feel happy and safe with them but only sometimes because you're usually fighting, but you really want to kiss them. And even though you fight all the time you can't stop thinking about them and you want THEM to be safe and happy. What is that called?

[unlucky7]

I guess it depends on why you're fighting all the time. You don't need to answer here, just think on it.

Because I think it's not uncommon for people that care about each other to hurt each other on accident. And if you hurt someone, you should apologize and talk things out.

But sometimes you hurt someone in a way that can't be fixed and even if if hurts a lot and you still care, it's better to separate.

But if someone is hurting you a lot and they don't apologize or make up things, then you should leave them. Ass-kicking optional.

[erogappa]

They don't hurt me. I hurt them. Sometimes it's a mistake and sometimes I want to hurt them.

Can you love somebody and still hurt them?

[unlucky7]

Loving someone and hurting them is what I did.

It sucks.

[erogappa]

What did you do about it?

[unlucky7]

Apologized. Tried to make things right. Tried not to do it again.

[erogappa]

I'm really bad about not doing it again.

[unlucky7]

Same here.

It's why I ultimately left them.

[erogappa]

Sorry.

[unlucky7]

I'm the one who should apologize. I'm not helping with your question, am I.

[erogappa]

You are, some. If I can't stop hurting this person then it doesn't matter if I love them or not, does it? All that matters is that they get hurt because of me.

[unlucky7]

I think it's good you're recognizing you're hurting them. Not everyone comes to that realization. So it means you can try to fix things.

But it's also true if it's a repeat pattern, then maybe stepping away is for the best.

What do they want?

[erogappa]

I think they want to go back in time to before we came here and to pretend like all our time in the far shore never happened.

[unlucky7]

I imagine a lot of people want that. If only it was so simple.

You two are from the same place?

[erogappa]

[ Shit. ]

Can you pretend I didn't say that? He's a shinki and he doesn't know.

[ As far as lies go, it's not a bad one! Maybe whoever he's talking to will buy it? ]

[unlucky7]

[In terms of lies go, it's not a bad one, except for two things. First off, they're anonymous so it's all moot anyway. A shinki coming across the message would easily assume it isn't about them.

Secondly, "he." Huh. Two people from the same world, one male, love issues. It's not much to work with, but it's information to remember.]

Say what? I didn't see anything.

I hope things work out, one way or another.

[erogappa]

[ There aren't that many couples from the same world, though. The "he" was a slip, but pretending to be a god might keep the suspicion off himself and Hakkai. You know, just in case some beanie wearing asshole who knows them both might find their conversation. ]

Thanks. Sorry things didn't, for you.

[unlucky7]

It hurts, but if they're happy and safe, I'm okay.
