[After an extended pause he exhaled the breath he hadn't even realized he'd been holding.]

This all sounds weird to me, I thought both of us were beyond this teenage romance drama. [.. and yet, here they are. That being said Kaiba tried to understand it from her perspective and he thought he had a pretty good idea where her apprehension was stemming from] You don't want to be the other woman. Heh- I get that. It's not as if I'm someone who wants to share the spotlight either. [Saying it this way made it easier to admit. He wanted to be the only man in Ann's life too, and considering how so many of her friends were male..]

[He grew silent as she fretted over it further. Though he had interpreted the situation incorrectly in one way, but he had still arrived at the same conclusion. He chalked it up to pride and possessiveness, coupled with not wanting to engage in the sort of behavior that transformed her into a being that embodied jealousy. Pride was more his thing, than hers. The point being it would be sinking to a new low that even Parsee couldn't commit to.]

Now I wish I'd bothered to ask more about their connection.. [So he might be able to alleviate some of her doubts]

[When she said that next part Kaiba choked on literally nothing but the air he didn't need to breath. Once he composed himself, his cheeks were lightly tinted and he couldn't make direct eye contact]

Ah- yeah. I would think that's essential.

[Then he looked back and squinted at her]

That can't be the Yugi I'm thinking. [Since he's male and Parsee has only seen him in visions]

[bridge_princess]

Oh... I'm certain they're only dating. She let that slip a couple times, so I know the status of their relationship. That isn't a worry.

...

And you're close enough for my comfort. It's definitely related. There was another woman in my life. I don't want to be that.

[She sighed, dragging her fingers through her hair. He was really close. Close enough that there was no need to dwell or correct him, not when the topic itself was damned nerve-wracking.]

Mmm? Oh, no. Yuugi [She stressed the double u] Hosigama. An oni back home who watches the streets in Old Hell. Definitely not your little pyramid lover.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

She was more open about that fact with you, then me. [Inserting that into the conversation to further diffuse her earlier flare up of jealousy]

[Close enough- but not on the money. It was only mildly irritating not to have the precise right of it. At least he let it slide]

Mm. [Humming to her assertion that she wanted to be something different. That he could understand since there were people in his past he wouldn't want to become either.]

I thought not. [Still, he briefly mused to himself over what that little pyramid lover had been doing all this time......] So what's so great about this oni?

[bridge_princess]

She wasn't was she?

[It was a good prediction. Her demeanor visibly softened and she started to relax somewhat. Rinoa had probably admitted it to others, but she'd specifically admitted the nature of her relationship with Squall to Parsee, which felt important. The jealousy didn't go away, but she was already starting to compartmentalize it.]

Well for one, she's a she. Hence 'might be bi.' [And the main reason she brought her up.] We're just... I guess she'd say we were friends. And she gets drunk sometimes. And, if she got affectionate, I wasn't saying no. She's not unattractive, but I think it's that...

She really doesn't judge me. She doesn't care. And my powers never worked well on her. Too drunk all the time to care.
