[Week 5, Saturday: Max]

[purrtagonist]

[idk where Max goes after trial, buuuuut]

[Akira is]

[going to ever-so-casually slide up next to him, hands in his pockets, and just stand there silently until Max acknowledges his presence]

Comments

[concertmaster]

I know my own worth.

[does... he]

[purrtagonist]

[you know what, Akira will give it to him]

That's actually a good thing to know. It means you don't sell yourself short.

[concertmaster]

I can't actually get much shorter.

[this is his perma-height save him]

[purrtagonist]

Did you make a short joke at your own expense?

[did he]

[concertmaster]

Yeah. Because I'm short. It's not a fucking shock to me.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . wait for it. . .]

You make up for your height by being someone with a personality that can't be overlooked.

[okay you can punch him again now]

[concertmaster]

Is that why your personality is so bland?

[he walked into it]

[purrtagonist]

[DAMN]

I need some ice after that one. . .

[concertmaster]

There, there. I'm sure someone somewhere finds you interesting.

[just. rude.]

[purrtagonist]

Even if they didn't, I'm not going to stop being aggressively me.

[opinions of others don't matter, so THERE]

[concertmaster]

[ a look. ]

And you accused me of being edgy.
