--shit's supposed to record my voice? Why the fuck would I want to leave a message on this thing anyway? They should know who the fuck they're calling if they're calling me in the first place, and obviously I'm not gonna pick up if I don't like them so...
[NO NO HE'S ACTUALLY PROUD OF YOU YOU TRIED REALLY HARD TO MAKE A METAPHOR
IT JUST
WASN'T QUITE WHAT HE WAS GOING FOR THIS TIME...]
Well, yes - when it comes to all of the strange situations we could have been thrown into with absolutely no warning, this is one of the nicer ones, I'll admit that much.
That...seems to strike him strangely for a moment, though he relaxes quickly enough.]
...It truly has been good getting to know you here, monsieur. It's an opportunity we wouldn't have had otherwise; I've been enjoying it while we've been given the chance.
It is, yeah! It would've sucked if we'd never gotten to know each other like this. I'm really, really glad we got that chance here! You've been really fucking good to me!
And there's something about all of this - the earlier mention of Aogiri, discussions Tsukiyama's had with other people that touched on this sort of thing - that's striking him a bit oddly; he hesitates for a moment, not because he isn't sure of what he wants to say, but because feelings are difficult and stupid and he isn't sure he wants to say it in the first place before just sort of going on ahead with it anyway.]
I do mean it, you know. I'm good to you because you deserve it, and because you're...worth being good to. Don't let anyone - Aogiri or otherwise - tell you that you aren't, and don't let anyone say that you're not valuable, because you are.
[Things Naki was not prepared for: this conversation.
He hesitates a bit, sniffling and trying very hard to hold back the tears, but when he finally manages to speak, it's obvious that he's pleased.]
Th-Thanks. I don't think... It's not like I think I'm useless or worthless or anything but... but it's so good to hear that from someone like you s-so...
[He sniffles and rubs at his eyes for a moment before he finally manages to smile.]
Well yeah, of course I do! You're a really good friend and you're... pretty awesome in general.
[He could be more specific with that and say that Tsukiyama's really smart and seems to know what to do with himself at all times, but this is easier and a little less awkward.]

Yeah, it definitely is! I mean, this place would be worse if you weren't here, but we showed up at the same time so that's good!

[It's such a stupid thing to get sentimental over, but here he is, kind of on the verge of crying again. Thanks, Tsukiyama.]

It's good to hear you hold my opinion in such high regard, I suppose.
But you're welcome; anytime.

[And from the sound of it he actually is, wow.]
Are you going to be busy today?
no subject
[But that lacks the usual bite and Naki seems pleased with it.]
Nah, I don't think so. I usually don't have plans. Why?

I appreciate the conversation tonight, by the way.

[Naki hesitates for a moment before grinning.]
Yeah, me too. Thanks for calling me, I really like talking to you!
