( he could have debated the philosophy and ideals of what he believed. could have tried to scrutinize the judgement out of bolin's features. could have, quite frankly, done and responding to anything, but instead he opts on something simple. something straightforward. )
Fuck you!
I'm not gay! ( cue... reaching to grab a hold of bolin's collar. pt. 2 of a never-ending saga. ) Who the hell are you saying is trying to attract a boyfriend!? Don't push your sick fantasies on me, Gaylin. ( um....
look. he thinks he's clever, but. )

G-gaylin?!
[ He's so shocked he doesn't know whether to laugh or not?!
It is a really funny nickname, though it's alarming how violently the other boy is reacting, leaving Bolin just to stare at him in surprise. (He'd already been punched in the face tonight, honestly Kurenai's no where near as rude as Shinji.) ]
Wh— There's nothing wrong with being gay, I wasn't trying to insult you? [ He's so confused??? ] I'm not gay though— well, I mean. [ ... ] Not really? It's complicated?
[ Does Kurenai want to talk about it? ]

( shall he be your second punch of the night? ;)
while he's still very much aligned to the concept of violating throttling the individual before him, he does simmer down by the rest of the words. more huffy and affronted than actually... out for blood? look, it's an Improvement. ) ... complicated? Don't tell me you're actually— ( he stares back to him. blankly, before pushing him ...
away. ) Don't get any stupid ideas.

[ Bolin would've been ready for a real discussion about this if not
For the fact that he's suddenly being shoved away?? baby pls don't go ]
What? [ It doesn't occur to him at first what Kurenai is implying, mostly because Bolin forgets that it's even possible for him to be attracted to men 99% of the time.
Once realisation hits however, his expression crumples, as though looking at something extremely unappetizing. ]
I don't have any ideas about you? I don't even know you?! Don't make it weird.

Let's keep it that way.
( you... not knowing him and hopefully not wanting to do the do with him???
it's not like he's explicitly thinking that far, but he doesn't need a guy questioning his sexuality around him, all right. he already has there world of notome problems to consider here. though, he does add. ) Then, why the hell are you so unsure for? No chick goes for an indecisive bastard.
... ( wait. is chick the right word here.
he closes his eyes as if contemplating his own designation and labels. )

I already have a girlfriend, I don't need to get chicks. [ Gently said since Kurenai apparently thinks it's appropriate to give Bolin advice about women.
And it's not like... it's a lie. Bolin is technically still dating Opal; they'd never discussed what to do about their relationship in case one of them gets transported to another dimension. So, for all intents and purposes, he does have a girlfriend.
Even though, at the same time, he's not opposed to finding a new one. ]

[ It's official. All we need is an appropriate OST.
None have made a move on her because they're her brothers!? Which is why she's at a loss when he suddenly pulls her close. It's true... Sinbad has been very nice to her, but it isn't as if he had ever wanted to be more than friends. She blushes, but not because she thinks Kurenai will what Sinbad won't. She's just not used to this sort of affection! ]
Wh-what are you doing?
[ this is inappropriate. she's not a shoujo protag. she needs an adult. ]

( this sounds sketch.
( google emoji of a blob in thought ) but, still. he does seem pretty incredulous at that statement. there's genuine shock laced in his expression. that is, before it simmers down. ah. he's heard this excuse before. he feels like a fool for believing it all but 0.5 seconds. here, kurenai wears his "sounds fake, but ok" face. ) Doesn't mean you aren't looking.
( whether bc she isn't real, or...
bc. look. he Understands. carnal desires, etc, etc. )

Isn't it obvious? ( actually, no... it's not.
but, kurenai was the type who wasn't necessarily opposed to explaining themselves properly.... and yet, he was also the sort who never did, despite his lack of aversion towards it. hence, he's there. holding her in place. though, he does eventually add some words to this scenario. one in the form of him leaning against her ear, and when he does: ) .... you looked like you wanted more. ( he's actually referring to his previous lack of gratitude.
something he clears up in 3, 2... ) Don't you think it's rude to leave in the middle of someone thanking you?

[ THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO THANKED STRANGERS LIKE THIS?
Kougyoku's frozen in place. The warmth of his breath renders her speechless and unable to break free, even though she knows very well that she should. She may be the willful sort, but intimacy is something rather new to her. How is she supposed to react?
She lowers her head and bites her lip, determined not to let the heat in her ears and cheeks get to her. ]
You're welcome...
[ He'll let her go after this, won't he? ]

[ He doesn't really like the way that Kurenai says that. Though, he probably shouldn't be surprised since it seems like the only things that the other boy cares about are sex and dating. (Which is fair, hormones, etc.)
Regardless, he leans back a little, trying to disengage. ]
I'm not! Actively looking anyway. Besides, why are you giving me advice? Aren't you the type of guy that would want to hoard girls to yourself?

[ He's amusing, this 'Kurenai-sama'! There's confidence in his tone, something that he can appreciate and something that some really lack around here. Whether it's confidence in his situation, in his abilities, in his attitude towards anything and everything... well, Wukong can relate. It's the only reason why Wukong's smile is still on his face, instead of something a lot less compassionate and more frustrated.
Except, well, he can't help but be a little offended! After all, the monkey does own a house. A nice house. One that is warm and hospitable in all ways. Anything to be as comfortable as possible as every hero's patience is tested. ]
We'll see. Actions speak a thousand words, and words tend to be cheap. [ Smushing two phrases together to make the Ultimate Saying or something??? ] So, I hope Kurenai-sama will not push away help if and when it's offered? Especially if it comes from someone really cool.
[ He points at himself with a thumb. It him. ]
But you take care of yourself. I'm going to worry about everyone, regardless if they want it or not. Always better to have an ally in unfamiliar territory, okay?
[ Whether Kurenai wants it, he's gonna get a furry ally. ]

[ Subaki makes a disgusted face at those words, unwilling to buy into his tactics. He's lashing out like a beaten dog, and it's more pathetic than entertaining. He doesn't like the accusation that he'd ever stoop as low as him. He has far too much pride and self-worth than to be concerned with someone so lowly and lacking in control.
His foot twists as he leans over, deciding to take the higher road and not allow himself to be provoked. He's already allowed enough cracks in his composure seep through, and he doesn't intend to keep being dragged into a fight when his lady awaits. ]
Keep howling madly on the ground. As I said, I already have somewhere better to be.
[ His foot leaves him, and he doesn't bother sparing him another glance as he walks away and heads towards the ball, intent on letting him continue his tantrum out of earshot. He's everyone else's problem now. ]

the sincerity and flat out honesty in her response (even in the way she feels in his arms), while something he inherently desired, isn't precisely something he expects. for a few seconds, he sputters. murmurs through his words. a keyword related to "cute" embedded in there, before as with all words, both solemn and candid— )

( —melds back into his usual aggressive speech. giving her a light shove from behind; a gentle push against her back, he turns away. as if permitting one moment of purposely instated blindness... in order for her to make her grand escape. ) That's more like it.
Now, hurry before I change my mind.
( is what he says, before he eventually turns his back completely...
now sauntering away of his own accord. maybe or maybe not sticking his wet hand back into his pocket. ... which, incidentally may have been rude considering he's the one who roped her in to begin with, however such is the life when dealing with a notome, i guess? aka, aggressive cr part 2. )

Hoard girls...? ( perhaps, this was an inarguable truth. one he can't precisely find an apt rejoinder to, at the very least. he was possessive by nature. fueled by natural desires and inclinations. he held back no sordid emotion. though, whether he was actually capable of feeling envy or jealousy was another matter entirely. at the very least, he didn't feel it for most. in that sense... ) Sorry to say but I don't care about having a crowd.
( or rather, while it's something he had a robust hold over on his home turf, it isn't something he actually.... sought. he clicks his tongue. ) Anyway, what does this and that have to matter? To begin with... this isn't advice.
I'm just saying this is how men are. You, included.

( as someone derived from a canon based off the intricate traditions of age old poetry and worn verses— words actually held a certain weight and power. unbeknownst to him. hence, it's something his mind pockets; habitual inclinations and everything else that ensued alongside of this. though, instead of paying this phrase in verbal retribution, he instead opts to remain silent. pensive and reflective in its own right. granted, as with everything else, it's fleeting... and he's as adamant on projecting himself to be nothing short than aggressive and antagonistic.
sort of. ) Like you said— "we'll see." ( is probably the closest thing wukong can get to an "okay." still, the "someone really cool" part does get an incredulous stare and a quick shake of his head. what an idiot, he thinks. but, somehow even the word "idiot" seems a bit more subdued. the designation a bit wilted with everything else. )
Damn busybody. But, well, time will tell if you're a hypocrite or not. ( he turns to give him a sidelong smile. there's derision in it, but there's also a gleam of something else in his eyes. amusement? ) For your own sake, let's hope you aren't.
( in return for furry ally....
kurenai guesses he'd help wukong. maybe. maybe not. look, it isn't easy being him?? )

[ Once again, Kougyoku stands there like an idiot, trying to process this moment. What on earth was that? WHAT ON EARTH WAS THAT? Is it bad he made her heart skip a beat? YES. Control yourself, Kougyoku. You can't just think fondly of a man because he called you cute. Even if he is one of the first outside your entire world who has ever called you that. she's just a teenage girl i'm sorry
She should just. Act cool. Pretend it never happened! Sure, her cheeks are hot, but if she keeps thinking about the awful things he said, her temperature will normalize soon enough.
But she sticks her tongue at him once he turns away. She might be confused, but he's still a meanie. ]

Sure.
[ He's not really sure if he agrees. It's true that Bolin looks—it's impossible to keep from noticing pretty girls, isn't it? But Bolin had no interest in pursuing any other girls while he was with Opal; he didn't see the point. There's nothing that they could offer him that he couldn't get from her.
Though, it was difficult when they saw each other so infrequently. That had just made him pine for her more however, to the point where he barely even noticed other girls around him. ]
That's cool. [ He continues, because maybe Kurenai isn't as gross as he looks, if he's not out to collect a harem. ] I hope you find a great girlfriend then. Even if you probably need to work on your manners...
Well. [ He looks at Kurenai more closely. ] You're probably nicer to girls, right?

( dam so romantic??? wtf??
though, despite his own adamancy to remain a perpetual asshole through it all, he is slightly taken aback by bolin's sincerity. he hardly encountered individuals who were so... freely devoid of ulterior motives or considerations. of words that didn't contain derision or sarcasm. it was strange to hear such forthright words. even doubly so coming from a guy. he looks mildly shocked, before it eventually settles back in to his usual prickliness. ) Hah? What are you saying is wrong with my manners? I do what I want. Isn't that the most important thing?
( he shakes it off, however. ) If they're mine. ( ... in reverse?? )
... you just look like you're nice to everyone. ( somehow, he sounds and looks repulsed. )
I'd be careful if I were you, Gaylin.

[ Bolin's expression falls a little at the continued use of the unwanted nickname, as though Kurenai's dropped a weight on him. He doesn't say anything however, just shaking his head and letting out a sigh. ]
I'm not nice. [ As he fixes the younger boy with a small, disapproving frown. ] I'm normal! You're the one that's weird here.
[ Weirdly aggressive that is. But Bolin figures there's a story to it. There always is.
He doesn't ask. It's only the first date after all, and instead he just nudges the other boy. ]
What's your network ID? Mine's WHAT.

( he clicks his tongue, probably for the umpteenth time this session alone, before sliding it under the proverbial rug. he permits it to pass him by if just for the fact that... it seemed like a pretty pointless argument. one that neither upped his ego, or ... shot bolin down to the depths of despair. so no one wins. :(
instead, he gets caught up on the second part— ) What? ( .... )
Your network ID is the dumbest thing I've heard all day.
( okay, he only just got here, but look.
there's a point to be made somewhere. )
