Surely that is the most accurate word that can describe showing up at your window on a flying dragon in the middle of the night just because I wanted to see you.
[Huffs]
And these problems you're worried about. They exist without you.
Glory is so desperate for human connection, it doesn't matter who it's with. She's already moved on.
And D.Va's practically the same except she can't decide whether my usefulness outweighs how much of an asshole I am on any given day.
Man Eater ... that one was my fault. I misjudged two data points as more significant then they actually were. But that's on me, not you.

Is this a "claiming his prize" thing? ]
Intensity!

Wait, ---- no!
And he's pressing the back of his flesh hand against King's forehead while the other one is secure around his middle.]
What is it?
no subject
--Oh. Intensity is actually concerned. ]
Something has to be wrong for you to defeat me?
I won't accept insults to my rival so lightly.
no subject
If it was just me winning, that would be a different story.
But you're also preparing to try and sleep by yourself.
no subject
I'm fine.
Just worried about some things.

Had a bad kissing game?
no subject
Did you?
no subject
Something lingering from the House then? Or D.Va?
no subject
Why doesn't it ever bother you . . .
[ Trails off, opens his mouth, then hesitates.
And blurts out the rest: ]
--Your relationship to me always creates problems for you. It did with Glory. Now Man Eater. And D.Va is upset, too.
no subject
Intensity's "relationship" with King has been causing him problems for literal years.]
Of course it bothers me.
But if you ask me whether I want a life with or without you, I'll make the same choice every time.
It's a conscious choice. Not one that I stumbled into without knowing the consequences. And one that I refuse to regret.
no subject
Which means pure unadulterated anxiety just falls out of his mouth ]
How can it be worth all of your relationships? How can you not resent me for that?
And why does it keep happening even when I try to avoid it?
no subject
no subject
[ His shoulders slump as he tries to push away ]
Are you satisfied?
[ Since he can't say "happy," obviously ]
no subject
Why are you doing this?
no subject
You didn't answer the question.

. . . Then sighs and leans forward, resting his forehead against Intensity's chest tiredly. ]
no subject
Say something.
no subject
[ He shifts one hand so he can peer down at the ring Intensity gave him. ]
You're the first selfish thing I've ever chosen, in any of my lifetimes. I don't regret that. I never will.
But I don't want you to regret it.
no subject
Probably something that only someone like King would notice.]
I've never lived my life on anything but my terms. No matter how shitty of a hand I was dealt.
no subject
Okay.
no subject
You absolutely are still going to be fussed about it, aren't you?
no subject
[ . . .
Another long sigh ]
D.Va's more upset than I realized.
