[ 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. ]
( 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.
makes kurenai laugh. granted, it's a dark sort of chuckle, his hand reaching to cover his mouth. it's hard to tell if he's laughing bc of bolin's remark or the fact that bolin thinks he has a date. either way: ) Pathetic. ( he eventually releases, tangled between the quieter tenor of his tight exhales. once, he recovers, however, he gives a confident smirk. )
Karakurenai. I don't think you'll forget it, either.

I get it. [ Bolin answers, expression more and more dead. ] You're a tough guy, really sassy.
[ He throws his hands up in a show of how impressed he is. ]
Anyway, what's your ID? I need to get back to my date.
