I'm not starting a fight, I'm telling the truth. My brother is a hero and a giant nerd, he's harmless. If he's gonna have an issue with somebody for Ino's sake, it'll end up being with me.

Yes, we know that about Tadashi now. He's a very good man.

[A bit of sissy and so weird about his cereal- but still! Good man!]

But...it's not like that, Hiro. He's not going to grill every person in her life that might cause trouble. Ino can take care of herself with most things. Half the time she won't even listen if we do try to protect her.

It's just...matters of romance, we're worried about. It's different. They...tend to cut her deeper than most things.

Yeah, and I'm sure she was really happy about this, too.

No, she's....already had words with me. And I wouldn't be surprised if Crowley's been punched into a coma.

[He means the last part lightly. Mostly]

Good.

[his tone is built out of a defensive worry that allen surely recognizes and already has.]

Like you said, Ino can handle herself, and scaring off my brother won't really be helping either of them.

[Allen would argue that they were coming from a place that was Ino's last terrible relationships. But sigh. Ino made him feel bad about sharing that info. Thanks girl.]

I wouldn't need rope if I was trying to scare you two off, Hiro. But you don't have to worry, I have no intentions of doing anything to Tadashi again. I didn't mean for the last time to happen either. Not like that.

... Alright. Fine.

[look, he's relenting!!]

I'm sorry I blew up. I promised him I wouldn't, but--. [he makes a kind of helpless, frustrated noise.]

...It's alright. I won't tell him. [Not that...he's expecting Tadashi to talk to him anytime soon welp]

Honestly, I'd imagine if I were in your place, I'd react the same way.

... I don't get to have him there back home anymore. I have to make the best of what I have while we're here.

...I know. Ino mentioned something about that.

[Well, the dead part anyway.]

... Then you know's it's already an uphill battle to get them to be happy.

...Do you mean happy or together?

[Are you playing matchmaker Hiro]

Uh, yeah? Dude, they're like.. way too into each other.

I'm aware of that. They're not very subtle.

It's just... [Ugh. How to phrase it] Has Ino ever told you about the place where we met?

Yeah, the castle. She told me.

[oh good. That saves explanation]

Yes, well...we lost a lot of people there. Friends, Family... [Lovers.] It's taken a toll on all of us. ...Sometimes I feel, it was hard on Ino especially.

[Allen was used to traveling, to saying goodbye to people and never seeing them again. Crowley, well, it's just part of being immortal. But Ino came from a village where she knew the same people all her life. Not that there weren't losses in Konoha, but...it was different. Not to mention, Ino always was more social than Allen was. She knew more people. You know more people, you have more people to lose]

So...if they ever do decide to stop...dancing around and get together- [he gives a little sigh] I'll just pray they're together a very long time.

... I will, too. She's really amazing, and my brother deserves to have the best with the time he has left.

[If they were in person, Allen would probably flick him in the forehead at that remark]

Oy, I hope you don't talk that way in front of him.

I've known loads of people dead back in their world who hung around for years and years.

Trust me, I would never.

Yeah, but no matter what, it probably won't be the amount of time he should have gotten to have to spend with someone that makes him that happy. I just want him to live as much as he can while he has the chance. Who knows, maybe something could happen and we could all die tomorrow. It's not like it just applies to him.

We'd probably just be brought back. That's how these places tend to work.

[Because they are all messed up like that]

But...you're right. He has a second chance at life here. He deserves to get a chance to live it as much as he can. Just like Ino deserves to have some happiness in her life.

yeah, she does. i want that for both of them. if they can give it to each other, even better.

Yes, I agree.

[There's a pause]

...Are you feeling any better?

... Yeah. Getting there.

Thanks, Allen.

It's no problem. It was my fault anyway. [And god knows Crowley won't lift a finger to clean up this mess]

Your stereo works wonderfully, by the way. It's really nice to have music to listen to again.

Good. If it breaks for any reason, let me know, and if you want any other music, I should be able to transfer you some if you have a player.
