I'm not going to cheat on him. Not with Kid, not with Shirou. I would never cheat on him, even with a person I loved, because I also love him and you don't cheat on people you love.

But apparently, you can't love two or three or four people equally! You can only love one the most. And of course that person isn't the one you're dating. You're being disloyal just by dating anyone at all.

And if you love two people, you're fated to cheat on them. There's no such thing as self control! If you have to love more than one person, you might as well just never date anyone for your entire life to keep yourself from harming them! Who cares if you're unloved forever, if they're safe from you?

In fact, why don't you just go ahead and DIE FOR THEM?! It's the only way to prove that your love isn't just a selfish emotion, it's the only way to date them and not eventually betray them! Go ahead! I know I would!

'Take what you want from me, strip me bare, send me into certain death.' If you can't even respect my loyalty, which is the entirety of my being, how can you respect me at all?!

((Hakuba really made Issei flip out with his assertion that Issei couldn't love two people at the same time. Replies will be voice, he's not well enough to type correctly.))

Then why do so many of them think that?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Who thinks that?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Hakuba. Kid. Everyone.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I don't know about everyone, but Hakuba-san and Kid are both idiots.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

They're important to me. I value their opinions.

[oceanicbutterfly]

That doesn't mean they don't ever say stupid things.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Detectives are supposed to be smart.

[oceanicbutterfly]

See previous answer.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I trust them.

threadjacking here because threadjacking his thread would be awkward! [anon forever]

[pandorabox]

I never said I thought that.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

You're always reminding me to pay attention to Haruto, do things with Haruto, focus on Haruto. You think if you don't tell me too, I'll leave him by the wayside for you.

[pandorabox]

I'm always reminding you of Haruto because I don't want you to get your hopes up for me, Ryudo-san.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I knew you were heterosexual since we met, Kid. Seventy-five percent of the people I'm in love with are, it's nothing new. I have pining down to an art form.

[pandorabox]

... and yet you still choose to care about them. Why endure unrequited romance when you have someone right there?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Why do you think I have a choice about being in love with you? You're wonderful. You're smart, you're noble... You make my heart beat faster every time I think of you smiling at me. But I never expected you to feel the same way.

[pandorabox]

I guess I don't understand why you'd hold onto something that could never happen. Not that I'm not flattered, but you understand.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I don't have a choice. I'm in love with you, and I always will be.

[pandorabox]

Hn.

It still doesn't make me question your loyalty to Haruto-san, just so you know.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It's hard to tell, at times.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I'm sure there are a lot of things you haven't said.

[pandorabox]

Karen, what do you take me for? Someone who'd let someone else pine after them even though they know they could never care about them back?

[Locked]

[oceanicbutterfly]

He can't just decide to stop caring.

[Locked]

[pandorabox]

And I can't lead him on.

[Locked]

[oceanicbutterfly]

There's a difference between not leading him on and implying that you have to specifically push him away.

[pandorabox]

I'm still his friend, aren't I?
