Thanatos and Shouko // Private Thread for the Win

[itsnotaleash]

[Thanatos is outside Shouko's room at the dorms. He simply stands there for a moment before he takes a deep breath and finally knocks.] Hey, Shouko? It's me - Thanatos!

What kind of host would make their guest wash the dishes? You're making me feel bad.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Looks at the bowl. ...Then just awkwardly sets it back into the sink!] Well... You can wash it again, if you want to? I wouldn't want you to feel bad about a bowl.

[ She just... stares at him for a moment ]

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

Pfft-

[ Before breaking out laughing ]

I wasn't being literal! You're so cute!

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

A-ah, hey! Shouko, I already told you I'm not cute!

I just didn't want you to be upset...

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

[ She just continues laughing, sorry Thanatos. ]

How can I be upset at you when you're being so adorable?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

A-adorable? Stop, I'm not that at all!

Look, kittens are adorable. I'm not a kitten...

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

You don't have to be a kitten to be adorable.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Yes, you do!

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

... Thanatos, I think you need a few more lessons on being human.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

I do not. I just know I'm not adorable!

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

You're wrong.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

If I was wrong, I would have a Shadow telling me to accept the truth. So, since I don't...

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

Didn't you already go through that?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

That's right, and my Shadow told me I wasn't adorable.

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

I'm sure being adorable isn't such an important conflict in your life, Thanatos.

Or is it?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

... I hope you never have to meet my Shadow.

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

Haven't you tamed it already? There should be no reason why it would appear again...

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've accepted my Shadow... However, it is possible for Shadows to be on their own while at the Mall. Since they would be alternates of those already here...

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see... Don't worry so much. I'm sure it's not as bad as you say. It's a part of you, right?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

...Right. I didn't want to accept I was Death... So, he was a twisted version of what I was trying to be. I didn't want my friends to suffer because of what I was. However, he was obsessed with the idea that if he were to kill all, then humans wouldn't suffer anymore... They would be at peace, which was what I wanted for my friends.

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

I get what he's coming from, as twisted as it is... But to be on the bright side, he meant good after all? It's just his thinking is rather warped...

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Yeah... You're right. Still, I'm just glad my Shadow is accepted now.

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

Mhmm. So you should accept that you're cute already.
