stop or i'm going to start loudly talking about how i used to ( censored by convenient raven caw caw noise ) and ( another caw caw ) your adoptive father
like tormenting yourself . now that you can see me freely without requesting a special permit to access the reeducation facility . . .you can't help yourself .
is that really all ? i don't believe you one bit .
you know very well — you were there when tsunade said my body is forever defective . i couldn't do what you claim to fear no matter how hard i tried .
( a wince at the memory— he had lost it all that day . )
no. . .maybe you—--
the only reason i’m staying is to make sure you wont be a threat, ever again. to make sure you stay away from my students—— from naruto. there is compassion, i’ll admit. hope for you to become a better man. but that will never,
you say that but you can't walk away .
( but even if he said that he was not so sure ; mizuki was afraid this once . perhaps his drinking problem had made him less sharp - more vulnerable . )
we're the same . we cling to it - the past .
( calmly seeping coffee. feeling the hot beverage warming him, before putting his cup down. meeting mizuki’s eyes. ) you got what you wanted, didn’t you .ᐣ you can’t affect me, anymore. ( far from the truth. )
( the slight trembling did not escape dark eyes. yet he chose not to dwell on it. surely, mizuki experiences withdrawal symptoms. was it really so bad .ᐣ ) lies.
for revenge , compensation . . .call it as you want .
( he relucantly pushed the bottle of liquor to the side - instead pouring another cup of coffee for iruka . )
who knows - you're bad at seeing through people .
what chance are you talking about .ᐣ ( sitting down in front of him. slight annoyance visible. guilt being the reason pushing iruka to share coffee. ) don’t attempt to paint him as someone he isn’t.
this is where i can't understand you .
i'd take the chance if i were you .
i will behave - your new boyfriend would probably send me back to jail if he saw me look at you too long .
