[Even someone as bitter and jaded as Vanitas can't help smiling upon seeing Oz's overflowing enthusiasm. He grins in return, approving of the theatrics as well.]
Did he now? That's wonderful. Nothing is better than finding out the object of your desires returns those feelings.
[Except for him, who much prefers knowing that most people will never like, let alone love him.]
I'll bet! So, does this mean the two of you are now officially an item? Is dear Gilbert off the table? I think that might either make Vincent extremely happy or exceedingly worried...
Mm-hm~! I can't even really put it into words how it felt when it happened, other than i'm glad I didn't wait to do it.
[ Oz was stubborn and he wanted something positive here in this unpleasant world. It held some surprises he was sure he wouldn't like and some were likely to be painful but he wasn't alone in handling all of it. ]
Yeah. I mean... we said some really cheesy things but.. uh.. the point was made. [ He nodded his head sagely with an almost wicked, but playful smile. ] Afraid Gil's mine now, so no making moves on him okay~?
There's a reason "no time like the present" is a tried and true saying.
[Because honestly, none of them knows how long they'll have either together or in this world. That's one reason Vanitas always does what he likes when he wants; to avoid having any more regrets.]
Haha... Sometimes you just have to express yourself in whatever way works, regardless of how it might come across. [He's learning to like Oz quite a bit, the devious little so and so...] In that case I humbly acquiesce. Gilbert is a dear fellow, I wouldn't wish to stand in the way of his happiness. Yours, either.
[ It's a mindset he himself agrees with, honestly. Better to live without regrets instead of holding back and dying without having done everything you'd have wanted to do otherwise.
He's simply just glad that everything worked out and as a result? Oz's been happier than he could ever put into words, which did remind him he needed to try and take a picture of him and Gil later if he had the chance to do so. A fleeting thought he pushed aside, grinning widely and seeming more than pleased that Vanitas agreed. ]
Hehe~! Good! You're a pretty great friend, you know!
[ A hum followed, then he held up a hand with his index finger raised. His grin turning definitively more devious. ]
Though... I won't mind if you keep teasing him. He does have pretty great reactions!
[At being called a "great friend", Vanitas blanches a little and scoffs, trying to brush the notion aside. He's nobody's ally, according to him, and certainly not a friend. Or that's how he wants to maintain appearances. Not that it's working when he keeps offering advice like this...]
I wouldn't say that...
[It's hard to deny Oz, though, chipper fellow that he is. He's even more jubilant than Aether, and that's saying something. At least Vanitas can get behind the playful sentiment he comes out with next.]
Haha~ Isn't that the case? Poor fellow seems doomed to stress about things. It makes picking on him all too easy.
