How do you know for sure you like someone?

...And how do you stop liking them?

But...doesn't that happen for friends?

'Cause it's not a good idea.

I said more than normal. Like if there's one person you think about more than anyone else and it happens almost all the time, I'd say that's more than just friends, don't you think?

How could it not be a good idea? You have something against going out with people? What, are you shy or something?

[whirlingwinds.livejournal.com]

...I guess. I don't know anything about this stuff.

S'kinda difficult to go out with someone that hates you, haha.

[jokers-wildcard.livejournal.com]

Call me an ol' veteran. I know all about love and it's tricky little ways~ Trust me.

Really? What if you get them to not hate you? Figure out what's pissing them off and knock it off. You know, most people can be buttered up.

Really? Do you like someone?

Uhh...I think that'd involve me not existing, or something like that.

Been taken for a few years now and couldn't be happier ♥ Well, aside from the whole me being here and him being home alone and stuff.

Oh come on! Don't be silly. If they hated you that much, they'd have killed you long ago, don't you think?

That must make you sad sometimes.

They tried. Twice. You're right...

[jokers-wildcard.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is. But it makes you work a few times harder when you know you got someone waiting for you to come home.

Seeee? So there's still a chance. Don't be so hard on yourself. Give it a try to be a little different around them. You might be surprised.

[whirlingwinds.livejournal.com]

That's true. I wish I did.

Maybe I will. Different how, though?

[jokers-wildcard.livejournal.com]

...You have no one at all back home who might be missing you?

Depends on what it is about you that seems to tick them off. They ever say anything about things you do that rub them the wrong way? Anything you say or anything that suddenly makes them mad? I mean, if you think they hate you it must be cause they've said stuff to make you think that, right?

[whirlingwinds.livejournal.com]

I don't think so...Maybe Iruka-sensei.

...I have, but so have they! They're always saying stuff that makes me mad.

[jokers-wildcard.livejournal.com]

Well, okay. That's one person. There's one good thing, right?

...You know, what makes you so sure they hate you in the first place? I mean they do things that make you mad and you still like them. How do you know it isn't the same way around? Just cause someone yells at you or hits you sometimes don't mean they don't care about you at all.

[whirlingwinds.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess.

Well. He tried to kill me. Twice.
