Mr....Shito. If I may have a word?

What do you want?

[samuraiprosecutor]

There was a photo on my phone this morning. Is it safe to assume you've seen it as well?

[tiedbyfate.livejournal.com]

If it involves you, I saw it.

[samuraiprosecutor]

I...want to apologize for any part I might have taken in that fiasco. It's extremely uncharacteristic of me to end up in such situations. I can only assume the community was mostly to blame, but I feel at least partly responsible. I...regret not being able to maintain control.

[tiedbyfate.livejournal.com]

Not interested.

[samuraiprosecutor]

In...?

[tiedbyfate.livejournal.com]

You, or your bullshit apology.

[samuraiprosecutor]

The apology was genuine, and it's been made whether you want it or not.

As for the rest of it, I can assure you the sentiment is entirely mutual. Fortunately for the both of us, you're about as far from my interests as one could possibly get.

[tiedbyfate.livejournal.com]

Good, because you couldn't be further from my interest, too.

[samuraiprosecutor]

Under normal circumstances, you mean?

[tiedbyfate.livejournal.com]

Fuck you. I'll kill you.

[samuraiprosecutor]

It's not difficult to see what the boy sees in you.

[tiedbyfate.livejournal.com]

You don't know anything. You're just a jerk who thinks he's better than people. Why bother apologizing to someone like me?

[samuraiprosecutor]

Because my actions were clearly wrong. At least...as clearly as I can make out from the conversation that accompanied them. Under normal circumstances I'd never willingly take advantage of anyone in such a position. It sickens me to think there are any circumstances that could bring me to that, with or without the community's influence.

[tiedbyfate.livejournal.com]

And yet you mock me and my boyfriend, even though you sought me out to apologize. I didn't have to accept the apology. It's not my job to make you feel better.

We're no better than trash to you, and you only did it to make yourself feel better.

[samuraiprosecutor]

...Considering how infrequently we've spoken, I'd like to know where you've gotten such an inaccurate impression. I'll readily admit to disliking Mikk's hoodlum cousin for numerous, extremely valid reasons, but I don't know you well enough to judge whether you're "better than trash" or not.

My apology was made in good faith. Despite the reaction it was met with, it will remain whether you choose to accept it or not.

[tiedbyfate.livejournal.com]

I've seen you around. You're the sort of person who thinks you can judge other people, and so am I. I'm not interested in you, like I said before. What I don't understand is why you can't accept that.

I'm glad I don't remember kissing you. The thought of kissing someone with the look you had on your face in that picture disgusts me.

[samuraiprosecutor]

What I don't understand is what could possibly be giving you the impression that I don't.

If it's any consolation, that incident had to have been the most stomach-churning experience of the evening for me as well. I find the thought of having any sort of intimate contact with a drunken teenager to be absolutely abhorrent. I don't know what in God's name could have possessed me to stoop to that.

[tiedbyfate.livejournal.com]

Imagine if you'd known I'm not a teenager at all, but an undead monster.

[samuraiprosecutor]

...A what?

[tiedbyfate.livejournal.com]

I'm a zombie.

[samuraiprosecutor]

...Of the...flesh-eating variety or...?

[tiedbyfate.livejournal.com]

I don't usually give in to that urge.

[samuraiprosecutor]

...

And you're not a teenager?

[tiedbyfate.livejournal.com]

I was born about three centuries ago. I stopped ageing when I reached my teens. You're not the first person who's found my body so desirable when I wasn't in a position to say no, either.

Why do you think Devit was so determined to protect me?
