I will bite you. ( he grumbles half-heartedly, clicking his teeth at the very same time toji pinches his cheek, but there's no real bite behind it. if you keep reacting like this, you know he's just going to keep doing things that get on your nerves, right —
like he cares. it's kind of endearing if he's perfectly honest, but he's not about to be honest out loud.
he can sense fondness for what it is, he probably sounds much the same when he's talking about someone he's grown to like — will sound like that when he talks about you, old man — and so he doesn't say anything about the harshness of the words. he's never known toji to be anything but truthful when he's being serious. )
Takes a lot to learn shit like that. ( he says like he knows from experience, and it's anyone's guess if he actually does; there's never been a whole lot of speculation on how he thinks he deserves to be treated, or what he deserves in general, and if he's honest, again? yuri reminds him so much of abel with how kindhearted and open she is that it almost strikes a nerve, but maybe that's just another point of why he kicked up such a fuss. )
You get a place to crash and she gets a fucked up couch. ( he snorts, keeping his tone light. ) Great setup for you.
