but, when scott puts it that way, the tension that was building as he tells the story just comes out in a 'pffffft', followed by a loud laugh. one that actually brings tears to his eyes, not out of sadness, but because-- yep! that's! exactly it! it makes him snort, resting his forehead on scott's shoulder as he chuckles.)
It's called the butterfly effect, dumbass, you ain't ever heard of that movie, whatever the name, that they stepped on a butterfly, and then humans got a third eye and a tail or some shit, I didn't watch it, but!! Something small changes the course of life all the time, get with the program.
no subject
Never heard of that movie. [Also, it sounds stupid!! Like sure, big changes lead to big differences in the future, but how can stepping on a butterfly cause shit like that?? DUMB. JUST LIKE MIKEY. That's the real point in all this, the former gang leader is a fucking dumbass that couldn't share his toys.
He shoves at Mikey's shoulder, not entirely playfully, but not angry either. He's just. Exasperated?? Done?? Hard to describe the emotions he's feeling now because this is so dumb.]
Don't try and make this sound cool to cover up the fact that you were the dumbest kid ever.
no subject
so on, so on.
that's why this whole thing is so fucked up - because it's so damn trivial.)
Running on a staircase is a shitty ass idea, but things like these happen all the time. Timing is a force to be reckoned with, Summers. Takemitchy met my brother for 5 seconds one time, and that's how he got the whole time-traveling power thing. You never know.
no subject
Maybe it was fate for Takemitchy. Or just really bad luck. [Or good luck? Who the hell knows. Scott's not sure how to feel about fate or destiny or crap like that, mostly because it's not a great topic for him to think about. Thinking about stuff like that makes him think about the crime on his parchment and just.... one thing at a time.
First thing is to continue bitching at Mikey.
Although, now that the relief of knowing that everything is okay with Mikey starts to wear off, those earlier emotions come back and he brings his knees up, staring down at them with a frown.]
For the record, I'm still upset at you. [It really hurt, among other things, and Scott's not sure if he wants to really talk about that right now. Maybe turning the spotlight on his friend is better.] And you're gonna have to kiss a lot of ass regarding Yu.
no subject
(and there's the sour point that makes mikey's easy-going smile slowly wither into a single line. yeah, about that.)
... I know you're going to mad at me for a while, maybe forever. I'm not mad at it, you're well within your right. And about Yuchin, I don't think he's ever going to look at me again, and I'd rather just do things on his terms. If he doesn't ever come around, then...
(it'd break mikey's heart, but alas. such is life.)
He's also well within his right, too.
no subject
[Yeah, probably just best to leave it at that. Thinking about time travel and multiple timelines gets complicated real fast. Even if it may be a nice distraction from stupid feelings, Scott still doesn't want to talk about it. Instead, he wraps his arms around his legs, the picture of teenage moodiness.]
Yeah, probably. [Sourness still, no denial from Scott's end about being mad about this forever. He definitely won't forget at least. Is it fair to Mikey? Because he was cursed? Scott doesn't know, but it feels like this isn't shouldn't be something that can be easily forgiven or swept away.]
...Yu will probably talk to you. [Scott says after a moment, chin on his knees and staring ahead.] Because that's just the type of person he is.
no subject
his own pose now mimics scott's - he's never been good at talking as an individual person, rather than a title, but it's clear that he, too, isn't particularly happy with the situation, his hands smoothing out the yukata before they come together to hold his own legs against his chest.)
... I don't think he will, Summers. I have been missing him even before I left the dojo, and I miss him even more now. It's not up to me if I'll keep missing him, though.
no subject
He remembers getting knocked, seeing Yu and those bruises on his neck. Angrily telling the other teen to just forget about Mikey. He was really so mad, wasn't he?]
He'll reach out. If you doubt that, then you don't know him at all. [He feels confident saying that, hopefully it's not misplaced.]
no subject
it's not for him to tell. it's for yu to express it, whenever, to whomever he wants.)
... Yeah, I can only hope.
