no worries at all!
That was at least the truth: Ichiru's sentiments, behavior, and everything he said that day was not at all some kind of farce. They were all but the same as how Ichiru was when they were young. Much before the incident with Shizuka ever took place. Zero knew that that part of him didn't completely vanish, not at all. It was very much the same with him, honestly. Both of them had buried it all, thickly layered upon by other, more difficult ways of going about things. Only, with Zero, he had eventually come to accept everything. He was at ease; even forgiving. It didn't matter if Ichiru wanted to take that forgiveness to heart.
So, typical, maybe, but he wasn't buying it.
Oh, he broke into houses all the time. But of course Ichiru wouldn't know that, as he doesn't care. Wasn't that right?
"Don't answer a question with a question," he states regardless, already stern. "I'm here because you seem to think I'm the most vile being ever, and by doing it like this, there's no way you can continue to run from me. What the hell has been wrong with you? I know that the other day wasn't some lie—" Okay, he puts it to voice, anyway. "—Do you otherwise really dislike spending time with me that much? If you seriously don't, then just say it straight up, already."
