were you born to resist or be abused

[The only thing more legendary than Liquid's ego or his reputation was his paranoia. It had only gotten worse since the FOXHOUND betrayal at Shadow Moses. Since that--or perhaps because of it--he had developed a near sixth sense for trouble brewing.]

[The operative in the SEAL uniform didn't know exactly what was going on, but all was not well in this insane little building.]

[...and somehow, he actually found that rather exciting. He was a bit lost without something to do for Philanthropy, after all. Regardless, if something was going to happen they would need to be prepared.]

[Liquid was sitting in the library, flipping idly through a copy of Titus Andronicus.The soldier debated over whether to call Otacon now or wait until he could have some evidence with these suspicions. Acting on vague impulse had gotten him into trouble far too many times in the past.]

And I wasn't meant for anything, so I guess we're a good match.

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

...Hal...don't talk like that.

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

I just mean there was never a plan to my life.

[pokes him in the shoulder] But I won't say things like that if you won't talk about not deserving things. Deal?

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

Tch...the only 'plan' my own life ever had was to be inferior trash.

[Smirks] Fine...I suppose that's fair.

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

[punches him in the arm] Stop saying things like that, too!

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

Ow--! Hal!

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

I mean it! [The man in your lap is stern!] You know you're wonderful.

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

[Stern Otacon is somewhere between serious and...well, adorable.]

I-I...well, I suppose...maybe? [Not many people knew that for all his arrogance, Liquid actually hated himself considerably.]

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

[Hal winds his arms around Liquid's neck.] How many times do I have to tell you how amazing you are before you get it, huh?

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

...doubt it'll ever sink in, Hal.

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

Then I'll have to try harder.

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

[He couldn't quite help but smile at that.] ...If you truly find it worth the effort.

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

Obviously.

[Otacon's not so good with the words, so he gives Liquid a kiss instead.]

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

[Okay, so there's an engineer in his lap. Kissing him.]

[...This is quite acceptable, and Liquid kisses him back eagerly.]

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

[Hal murmurs in his ear.]

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

[He blushes a light shade of red at that, startled]

I-I...I love you too, Hal.

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

[He smiles.]

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

Don't be absurd. Of course not.

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

Made you blush, though.

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

You most certainly did not.

[Yes he did.]

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

It's cute.

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

I am not cute!

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

[Hal wriggles in his lap a little to get comfortable, and leans his forehead against Liquid's.]

You are very cute.

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

I-I most certainly am not... 'Devilishly handsome', yes...
gorgeous', also acceptable...but I am not 'cute'.

[Kind of like how he's not blushing.]

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

How about all of the above?
