"You said I'm 'starved for affection and approval.' That's a weakness—" When he realizes his voice is rising to meet Scott's, Midnighter stops. There's more he could say. There are effective ways to hurt his opponent and win this fight. But god help him that's not what he wants. It's time to recalculate.

"This isn't how I want this to go, cuz I know how it'll end." It ends with Midnighter forcing a win and leaving Scott hurt. But that's not a win to him anymore.

"I'm sorry I was an asshole," he finally works the words past his lips.

Re: text; un: grey

[notrosecolored]

How do you feel about that?

[overconfidently]

i don't know. mixed feelings? especially after thinking we were all leaving last month.

[notrosecolored]

"That's not weak-" He stops, because he doesn't want to be fighting either, and drops his own voice. "You weren't an asshole, I got my feelings hurt." Which, look. Modeling. or something.

[notrosecolored]

That was a mindfuck on top of the one this place already is. What kind of feelings are mixing?

[overconfidently]

that i shouldn't want to be here.

[notrosecolored]

For all the shit, it's still better than home.

[overconfidently]

you want to stay here then?

[notrosecolored]

No.

But it's better than home.

[overconfidently]

yeah. i guess. there's people here i wouldn't have met back there. or it's not the same there as it is here.

[notrosecolored]

No one's trying to kill us in particular here.

[overconfidently]

yet anyways.

pietro maximoff is here. not the one from our world. pretty sure he's from steve's. i just thought you should know.

[notrosecolored]

Well if they do it won't be because we're not human.

Yeah, I know. I think.

[overconfidently]

are you doing ok?

[notrosecolored]

Yeah, actually. Good even.

[overconfidently]

well i mean. good is usually what you hope for.

[notrosecolored]

Yep.

How are you and Peter doing?

[overconfidently]

we're ok. couple close calls aside.

( there's a moment of ... being seen because nate is very much hesitating in asking this. )

how are
you and midnighter doing

( formatting aside, an attempt was made. )

[notrosecolored]

...the same as we've been.

What do you mean close calls?

[overconfidently]

( good enough, he supposes. nate still having Some Feelings regarding the other submissive. )

like... has mom ever thrown you across the room by accident because of a nightmare?

[notrosecolored]

Maybe? You'd have to ask her to be sure.

[overconfidently]

if you forgot you must have hit the wall hard.

[notrosecolored]

I've got brain damage from falling out of a plane, memory gaps from being mind controlled by Sinister and possessed by Apocalypse and Phoenix. Nevermind the nature of my life being such that 'thrown into a wall' is a regular thing.

It'd stick with her if she did it, specifically because of a nightmare.

For me it's not noteworthy

[overconfidently]

( his dad being sweet... who knew scott summers was capable of that. )

it happened with wade a couple times too. at least he could heal relatively quickly.
