( eyebrow raise. )
We both know if I didn't, you'd start getting all teary-eyed and cling onto me until I did, right? What—did you want me to do all of that instead? Hm?
( there's a slight hint of a smirk. cruel teasing bastard. )
still means you disappear for me, okay? okay.
[ the tail of his wags back and forth, looking up at him—pulling away slightly. ]
yet you willingly are hugging me, bud.
I don't exactly do much to begin with, you know. And I don't 'disappear'——I get put on a standby mode until someone pesters me enough to come back.
( pat—pat. staying annoyed was impossible. )
You are tremendously clingy. ( half-affectionate? )
snfnf... yeaah.. i do, but it's true!!
you disappear a lot...
[ tanner would snuggle into the other, lowly purring as he was held. ]
i'm just glad to see you again, can't a guy not do that??
You say that every single time, don't you?
( his ass still lets it happen anyways. )
Yeah yeah—cuddle it all out, you big baby. I'm not dead or anything.
