[HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE!]

[Come to the roof to do American things! Like have cookouts, and eat watermelon. Stay for the fireworks, too.]

You should know me by now. I never settle things without a fight.

[Ocelot clenched his fist.] Why is it foolish?

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

Because you will never beat me.

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

This isn't about me beating you, or being the superior. What I can't stand is that look in your eye.

So come at me. Whatever anger or emotion you feel, you will take it out on me.

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

That look...won't go away so easily. [Yet, it's already being diffused as they speak.]

[He flexes his hands, cracking his knuckles.]

You aren't my personal punching bag, Adam. I won't use you as such.

People aren't meant to be used.

[Ocelot scoffed.]

Friends do what friends must. If it will calm you, I'd rather you give me what for.

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

[He sighs] Truthfully...It won't.

Not this time. [This time it would just make him feel guilty.]

...





[He does ogle that tight set of abs you got there, Adam. That's helping a bit.]

[After allowing a moment to pass, Ocelot turns away defeatedly, crouching down to pluck up his coat.]

Have it your way.

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

I usually do.

[He is a little sad to see those abs go, but he steals a glance at that ass while he's got the chance.]

[He rises to his feet again, resting his coat over his forearm.]

I suppose I should leave then.

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

You don't have to go anywhere unless that is your desire.

[His gaze seems to wash over him.]

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

I've no other reason to be here. I'm not going to be celebrating.

[For once, Ocelot isn't concentrating on that wandering gaze.]

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

Not even a tiny bit hungry?

_{Hn...well, I suppose you probably aren't are you?}

Fine...

[systemismine.livejournal.com]

Food is more your forté.

[He gave the other man one last looking over, before turning and leaving.]

[old-papa-john.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...

[He lets him go this time.]
