Maybe it's true for the big uses and the other uses. But I wanted to punch him when he was mean to you. Because I love you too." He shrugged, still childish enough to tell people he loved them without thinking it odd or inappropriate. He sighed. "He's always been stupid to you, because he's jealous and knows that I care about you just as much as I care about him."
