[Oh god, right in the feels. He’s been sulking a lot about how he’s perceived as some kind of criminal or murderer to people he wanted to make good impressions on.
So Asriel’s words mean more than he can ever know.]
You think so?
I know some people who’d dispute that.
[Probably accuse him of endangering others by introducing them to explosives when he really just wants to supervise and have shields ready to protect them.]
( There's a sniffle on Asriel's end at that, and he quickly wipes the tears away that were threatening to fall.
He didn't know that bit about Gokudera... Though, he supposes that there's still a lot they don't know about one another. He can't help but wonder if he would still think that he's a good person if he knew the extent of everything he's done. )
[Gokudera will politely pretend he did not hear any sniffle.
Considering he made a truce with the man who tortured him once, there’s little Gokudera would change his mind over Asriel for. It would have to be something done now.]
You don’t need to lie to try to boost me up. I’d rather see a friend happy.
[He wouldn’t usually say something so sentimental, but lucky for Asriel, he’s not a human. Gokudera is fond of him.]

You're a really nice person, Gokudera.

He’ll fight them.]
Right. If people are going to judge you, they aren’t worth keeping around!

Date: 2021-11-12 12:30 am (UTC)( The conversation feels like it's grown far more tense now, and Asriel feels like he needs to tell Gokudera the truth. )
... I've hurt a lot of people before. I... wasn't a very good person.

Date: 2021-11-12 12:39 am (UTC)Look, technically speaking… I’m a criminal. I get it.
I don’t think you’re a bad person. You’re the coolest, Asriel.

... Thank you, Gokudera. I... I think you're really cool, too.

And... uhm... You don't have to try to make me happy or anything. I was already really happy to hear from you.

Date: 2021-12-02 03:44 pm (UTC)[Fair is fair, and he’ll take the compliment.]
Well, I could try to make you happier? That’s kind of fun.
Were you? I feel like we aren’t very close, Asriel. Not that I wouldn’t want to get to know you better…
no subject
Date: 2021-12-03 12:57 am (UTC)I-I guess it's kinda because... I just like being able to talk to people here. I get to meet all sorts of people here that I couldn't back at home.

no subject
Date: 2021-12-03 03:51 am (UTC)But, Gokudera -- I don't want you to think that you're like everyone else.
All my friends are special in their own way.

[Your point? He’s still trying to figure out how to be a good friend, ok?]
