Shut up, shut up, shut up! [ not that it sounds very convincing, muffled and behind her palms. ] Age has nothing to do with it! And putting parts into someone's mouth is perfectly normal, okay?! Animals do it! Humans do it! Vampires do it! It's the l- luh-

[ you've got this, nazuna. let it all out. ]

-lovey-dovey crap that's weird!

He's my prey, got it!? My local blood bag! I get good meals off of him, and he gets the honor of a gorgeous, sexy, super cool and super hip vampire chick drinking his blood! [ and that'd be a really bad reflection on her, if she knew how to keep her mouth shut for even a fucking second. ] And yeah, sure, we're friends! So what?! He's a cool kid! Way cooler than you! What, just because he doesn't work in finance and wine and dine some corpo head, that makes him someone not worth my time?!

[ uh. ]

Get real! Fat chance! He's- he's at least twice as cool as any other lame servant I could have chosen! He doesn't wanna become a vampire because of some stupid reason like- like love, or romance, or any of that other dumb shit! He just understands what it's like to be a part of the night, okay!? Get off my case! He's not my boyfriend, he's not my lover, and he's definitely not a boytoy or anything like that! Kou-kun's my best friend, okay?! My friend!!

[ this seems like. it might be addressing some issues that leviathan never even brought up. ]

So if he- If he, you know, does end up- You know-

[ do they???? ]

-then it's not my fucking problem, got it!?
