[ Beats him still being an emotard, now doesn't it? :/ ] Don't go lapsing back into the way you used to act.

[ Presses a finger to his lips. ] No excuses, Luke.

[ ;; --pulls away ]

[ If Luke won't let him touch his face, then he'll play with Luke's hair. ] ..being around me hurts you, doesn't it.

You shouldn't. I imagine my feelings would be much the same in your position.

Why do you think that?

[ if you get what he meant by that, major props for you. ]

[ He's not completely positive of what Luke was trying to say, but he has a fairly good idea. ] Neither of us wish to see you so tormented.

... [ It's oh so tempting to use a certain line here, but we shall fight the urge. He sighs, hugging Luke with one arm. ]

[ oh? and what line is that? ]

[ This isn't about logic. ] No, you're not. But you can learn.

[ ffffffffff. ] [ shifts out of his grasp, but most certainly doesn't hesitate -- or maybe it's more that he didn't think -- before pressing his lips against Asch's forehead ]

You're notoriously stubborn about changing. [ The gesture still has yet to fluster Asch in the slightest. In fact, he grabs one of Luke's wrists and pulls him in to return the favor. ]

[ starts to make a kind of startled sound at the wrist-grabbing, and winds up with his hands braced on Asch's upper arms, and just goes extremely still ] ... [ he's not so much flustered as he is trying VERY HARD to exhibit self control ]

[ Ever the picture of composure, Asch brushes back Luke's bangs to allow his lips to linger on Luke's skin for a time before slowly moving away, watching him in an ear-splitting silence. ]

[ he mutters something like an apology in this silence, shifting and briefly brushing his lips over Asch's before moving away as completely as Asch will let him, although in a surprisingly composed manner. ]

[ The apology is dismissed with only minor mentioning of the word "replica" and "idiot", in the moment their lips meet, he gives Luke the lightest of kisses. Though Asch still won't let him go totally; he's loosely hanging onto Luke's wrist and thumbing the grooves on his palm. ]

[ and there's a part of Luke that is extremely grateful for that. ...otherwise he'd have likely freaked out, run off, and baww'd some more. ]

[ And he would have had Asch on his heels, dragging him home kicking and crying. ] Life is fair to no one.

[ Lets out a loud sigh. ] You all are so infuriating. You're willing to give and give and give for others, then you turn around and close up your emotions, trying to suffer alone so that you won't hurt anyone. I swear to Lorelei you're masochistic by default. If I didn't care for you, I would deck you a good one.
