[ there's a short pause before he responds. ]

I can try talking to him.

[ he doesn't mean to trivialize any attempts Hiro's already made, but... well, there aren't that many other ways for him to help. Tadashi's his best friend, so he's not just going to just let this go.

...unless that's what Tadashi wants, of course. which is highly likely. sigh. ]

[zerotohiro]

[Trivialize away, Levi. Hiro has a lot of conflicting feelings on just about everything with his older brother lately.]

If you think that'll help, sure. I think maybe it's just something I should leave alone for now anyway. We haven't really talked about it and things seem normal enough. [Or as normal as it can get with the two of them.] But he'd probably like to hear from you anyway. You're pretty much his best friend in this stupid place.

[dirtdevil]

[ ...well. he knows Tadashi is his best friend. It's an easy choice for him, and not just because he only has like five friends. Tadashi, though?

he has to ask. ]

Am I?

[zerotohiro]

Are you really asking me, or are you asking yourself?

[dirtdevil]

[ you little shit. ]

I'm asking you. I already know my standpoint.

[zerotohiro]

I mean it's pretty obvious from where I'm standing, so I'd say so. Why? You didn't think so?

[dirtdevil]

[ he's quiet for a moment. does he really have to stop and think about this?

(yes. yes, he does.) ]

I guess I never thought about it.

[ it's been a really long time since he's had a best friend. ]

[zerotohiro]

Pretty mind-blowing huh? [He's trying not to sound amused but...he's also kind of happy for it.] I mean I still don't really get how people decide people are best friends, but this is close enough. Trust me.

[dirtdevil]

[ it actually is kind of mind-blowing. him having friends at all is mind-blowing, let's be real. ]

Okay. I'll take your word for it.

[zerotohiro]

Just don't think about it too much. It is what it is.

...but seriously, check in with him sometime okay?

[dirtdevil]

I will. We talk all the time.

[ and by "all the time" he means "more than other people," of which there are like... one. maybe two. possibly zero. it still totally counts. ]

[zerotohiro]

Cool. That's all I ask. [He's about to say something else when something distracts him.]

I should go. I've still got a lot of damage repair to cover. I'll catch you later?
