#i think theo would just tolerate dark if he didnt like him bc he doesnt like making people think he dislikes and/or is disinterested in him

ㅤㅤHUH ? Why was Dark suddenly so flustered ? It was an innocent question and yet he was getting awfully defensive over nothing ( it was almost like Dark was proving the librarian's point without even trying ).

ㅤㅤTaken aback, Theodore stumbled a couple of steps back from the closing proximity between them but he froze as soon as Dark stopped right in his tracks to jab an angry finger right at the librarian's chest as if to stand his ground. " I - I wasn't necessarily trying to make any other assumptions about you ! But actually ... you didn't exactly deny my claim either so doesn't that mean I'm somewhat on the mark ? " A nervous laugh. " I suppose indifference is better than resentment ... "

ngh --- ?!

' S-SHUT UP ! '

obviously , things were way more complicated than that ! ( no , in the first place , what did it even matter ?! ) ' that's got nothing to do with anything ! ' despite the growing red fluster on his cheeks , he marches forward to let his finger angrily poke and prod at the center of the other's chest . ' don't get the wrong idea , you weirdo --- i don't feel anything for you at all ! there's nothing either way , okay ?! ' like , dislike , love , hate , whatever ... ! ' you just ... exist ! and that's it !! '
