Sounds about right...

⠀ ⠀⠀Why does my local ice cream ⠀⠀store serve this . ⠀⠀And why can I get a free ⠀⠀scoop . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Angel was looking at him for ⠀⠀a while, a wing slowly lifting ⠀⠀to slightly fold around him . ⠀⠀" Have you truly dealt with it if ⠀⠀it still hurts this deep .ᐣ " ⠀⠀After Aki's passing, Angel ⠀⠀was gone for a long time . ⠀⠀" ... I am here if you need ⠀⠀someone . " ⠀

“Don’t tell me that crap.. I already got over it once.. don’t wanna deal with all the emotional stuff again..” ↪︎ He’s already sniffling though.

⠀ ⠀⠀... I miss him too, Denji . ⠀⠀There isn't a day going by ⠀⠀where I don't think about ⠀⠀him . ⠀⠀... He cared about you and ⠀⠀Power a lot . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I couldn't have, Denji ... I was ⠀⠀too weak at that point . ⠀⠀I didn't want Aki to die . I tried ⠀⠀to get him off of the ⠀⠀mission ... I didn't expect this ⠀⠀to ... ⠀⠀[ A low sigh escaped him . ] ⠀⠀If you'd want to blame ⠀⠀anyone, blame Miss Makima . ⠀

[ 𐂯 ⸝⸝ ] This turned to angst real fast

⠀ ⠀⠀I could never have expected ⠀⠀what would happen there ... ⠀⠀I couldn't have saved him ... ⠀⠀And I have to live with that ⠀⠀knowledge of having lost my ⠀⠀only friend . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I didn't . But you wouldn't ⠀⠀know that, Denji . ⠀⠀I cared ... care about him . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀You weren't there . You don't ⠀⠀know what happened . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Not sure what you're ⠀⠀referencing here . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Hey . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀... That doesn't mean it works ⠀⠀for everyone . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Not literally . Metaphorically, ⠀⠀in a way . ⠀⠀You don't know me ... And I ⠀⠀don't know you . You can't ⠀⠀build a friendship on names . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀You can't just walk up to ⠀⠀people and ask them to be ⠀⠀your friend . That's not how ⠀⠀friendship works . ⠀⠀You are also ... very pushy ... ⠀⠀in a way ... ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀... No . I don't want to be your ⠀⠀friend . ⠀⠀[ He was very selective of ⠀⠀people, so he didn't really ⠀⠀mean it in an offensive way . ] ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀... I am devil first, angel ⠀⠀second . Keep that in mind . ⠀⠀[ He would stop walking, now ⠀⠀turning to face her . ] ⠀⠀Is there something you need ⠀⠀from me .ᐣ ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I am still not a bird . ⠀⠀It's Angel Devil . ⠀⠀[ A slight squint on his ⠀⠀face now . This was getting ⠀⠀awkward . ] ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀.... Thank you . ⠀⠀[ He's slowly trying to gain ⠀⠀distance between them . ] ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Hm . ⠀⠀[ He would now look back to ⠀⠀the ice cream on his lap, ⠀⠀eating more . ] ⠀⠀I know I can count on you . ⠀

( Siiiigh… ) I’ll only help a bit. This is on you, after all.

⠀ ⠀⠀... Wood what . ⠀⠀[ His face pulled a grimace ⠀⠀and feathers ruffled up . ⠀⠀Yuck . ] ⠀⠀Let's not talk about that ... ⠀⠀Come . ⠀⠀[ Angel shook his wings, ⠀⠀trying to get that thought out ⠀⠀of his head while walking ⠀⠀down the street . ] ⠀⠀... Who would think of making ⠀⠀that ... ⠀

[ 𐂯 ⸝⸝ ] I forgot Slashy talked about wood ice cream this is like a slap

⠀ ⠀⠀.... Don't you have ⠀⠀somewhere else to wander ⠀⠀around ... ⠀

( Stare. ) Seriously?

⠀ ⠀⠀... Because that's just how I ⠀⠀look . I can't really change ⠀⠀that . ⠀⠀[ He'd push his hands into ⠀⠀his pockets, walking just a bit ⠀⠀faster . ] ⠀⠀Don't you have to be ⠀⠀somewhere else . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀... ⠀⠀[ He would lean back against ⠀⠀the couch, dipping his head ⠀⠀back to look at him with big ⠀⠀eyes . ] ⠀⠀... If only there was someone ⠀⠀to help . ⠀

- ᴋᴏɴ.@lifelessfuture.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Well, that’s what you get. ( A shrug. He didn’t feel that bad about it, frankly. ) You absolutely would slack off anyway.

⠀ ⠀⠀Ice cream ... ( 🤤 ) ⠀⠀... Do you want to grab some ⠀⠀with me .ᐣ I heard there are ⠀⠀some new flavors ... Like ⠀⠀toffee . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀.... That's not how friendship ⠀⠀works . ⠀⠀[ He just keeps walking, ⠀⠀keeping his wings up to avoid ⠀⠀her touching him by ⠀⠀accident . ] ⠀⠀And I'm not a bird . I'm a ⠀⠀devil . ⠀
