More-so you saying that, and then being embarrassed by it. The old you wouldn’t have said anything remotely close. Or. . maybe you did, and I didn’t notice because of the whole “bad guy” thing.
See, this is what I’m talking about. You’re making it really hard to find joy in beating you up, anymore.
[ A chuckle, followed by a genuine and warm smile. ]
[ One blink, two blinks. Maybe even a third. Then, a soft sigh. ]
Don’t be sorry. Just. . and I can’t believe I’m going to say this.. just be better. Do better. I can’t say I want to beat you up, because I just want you to be better than what you were.
And I want to help.
Well. . if I’m honest, yeah. I don’t particularly like beating you up. Anymore, I mean. Ask me when I was a little younger, and he might have a different answer.
I hate that you can guilt trip me now.. Guh. Fine! Fine! Fine fine fine. Which dance? No recording it though. You have to capture it only with your memory.
