[ There is nothing even remotely cheerful in Sasuke's expression as the video clicks on. Far from it. Please, stop watching while you can. ]

I think Sadiq Adnan is attractive. As a male, he is adequate.

That's all.

[ And it clicks off. Helpful hint? A bet has gone awry. ]

You said not to tell anyone that there had been a bet. I haven't.

[scimitar]

'Conditions' suggest there'd been a bet, kid.

[eyeforaneye]

Maybe to someone who looks for that kind of thing. You are just naturally suspicious.

[scimitar]

He jumped to that conclusion easy enough!

[eyeforaneye]

I can't be expected to make this convincing!

[scimitar]

Well, I can hold ya to higher standards if I wanna!

[eyeforaneye]

Standards? Standards of being falsely attracted to you?

[scimitar]

What? Falsely? Whaddaya mean?

[eyeforaneye]

[ ... wait. What. What. ]

This bet. This lie. Surely you did not think it was real.

1/2

[scimitar]

[ ...

that was a test]

2/3 actually

[scimitar]

Ya can't seriously be this bad at lyin'! I didn' think it was possible!!

[scimitar]

... Unless.

Yer whole facade is a lie!

1/2!

[eyeforaneye]

[ Quiet staring. Deep thoughts, so many deep thoughts, hrrn. ]

[eyeforaneye]

... What are you talking about? I am not afraid to just say what I think. I hate lies.

I think you may be insane.

[scimitar]

That's a lie if I ever heard one!

See, I bet under that cold, borin' exterior, yer actually a great guy that people wanna hang out around!

turkey, why are you so cute

[eyeforaneye]

...

If people think that, then they have missed the real truth. [ Another pause. ] And I am not boring.

he's dumb

[scimitar]

[shhhhhhh shhhhhh only real truth now]

Underneath it all, maybe!

i love him

[eyeforaneye]

There is nothing "under" anything. The way I act around you fits how I feel about you.

he's undeserving too

[scimitar]

Whaaaaaat? So ya feel cold an' bor-- lifeless 'bout me!!

Who the hell don'cha, eh?

nonsense!

[eyeforaneye]

I do not get excited about most things. [ Noooo kidding. ]

People that I hate.

[scimitar]

... What 'bout people that ya like?

[eyeforaneye]

There are some people I don't dislike much, but it's not especially important.

[scimitar]

[oh my god and people say he has problems. brb not having a clue as to what to say to that]

... I see!

[eyeforaneye]

[ WHOOPS. ]

Regardless, I don't hate you, so you don't have to feel worried.

[scimitar]

Yeah, cuz y'know, I was totally pissin' my pants there!

I ain't worried 'bout anythin' like that, so don' worry 'bout feelin' the need to reassure me.
