[That's slightly less ditressing.]

Taking stuff apart is easy, it's putting it back together that's a pain in the butt.

[moresuffering]

Really? You're not good enough at it? That's disappointing.

[killectric]

[Killua bristles.]

Stupid, I didn't say I couldn't do it. It's just annoying.

[moresuffering]

[He sits on his bed, crossing his arms like the sassy asshole teenager he is.]

It's easy to mess up a rubix cube, but it's real talent to solve the puzzle.

[killectric]

Grrr... [Killua's hair lashes as it rises up this time, and all the chair parts bob into the air. They begin to circle each other, swirling around and knocking into each other. He furrows his brow and concentrates on the mess of parts, putting things back together piece by piece.

By the time he's done, the chair is...

Not quite good as new. Killua hadn't been able to get the finer details like stitching back in correctly.]

[moresuffering]

[Well, at least Ritsu is back to impressed. He gets up and goes to the chair, wiggling things to make sure they're secure, and sits on the chair as the final test. By the time he's done, he's grinning.]

That's awesome.

[killectric]

[Killua lets out a huff and finally takes a seat on the bed across from Ritsu.]

So is your brother adopted or something? I mean, you guys look alike, but...

[moresuffering]

No, we're related. Why?

[killectric]

You and your parents don't have any powers...

[moresuffering]

...No, we don't. [Ritsu resents that.] I thought, since I was his little brother, I would get them someday too.

[killectric]

Yeah, you'd think... He must be a fluke. ESP usually runs in families.

[moresuffering]

[It hurts to hear.] And then my soul mate is also an esper... some higher power must be mocking me.

[killectric]

...Like I said, it's not all that great.

[He flops back onto the bed, folding his arms behind his head.]

I've got to spend all day training. I don't get to leave the house or do normal kid stuff.

[moresuffering]

Training? Nii-san doesn't train at all... well, no, his so-called shishou makes him work, but he still goes to school and comes home.

[killectric]

That's 'cause you're not an esper family.

[He rolls onto his side, pressing his folded arms to either side of his head.] I've got expectations to meet. Things my parents want me to be... I've even killed people.

[moresuffering]

You-- what? [Ritsu isn't sure he heard that right.] You've killed people?

[killectric]

[Killua opens his hands in surrender and sticks out his tongue.]

Just kidding!

[moresuffering]

[Ritsu practically jumps onto the bed, hovering over Killua and staring a bit more intensely than strictly necessary.] You have powers. Killua, you can't be held back by anyone. If you don't want to do what your family demands... you have powers, you have freedom. Reject them!

[killectric]

Gah! [Ritsu got real close, real fast. Killua's eyes are wide, his shoulders bristling.]

Back off! [He knocks Ritsu back with a small burst of psychic energy.] Idiot... Why do you think I ran away? That's the whole point!

[moresuffering]

[He wobbles to not fall off the bed, but still kind of hovers, heart hammering in his chest.] ...Good. Good, so don't go back. Stay with me.

[killectric]

You really are an idiot... [His own heart pounds in his ears. He wants him to stay with him? If it's just because they're "soulmates"...

He wonder how much that really means.]

I already said I was going to mooch off of your parents.

[moresuffering]

They'll accept it. We'll come up with some convincing lie. I'll help you.

[killectric]

I'll just tell them my family's dead. They don't seem too hard to convince.

[moresuffering]

They won't think too hard about it. We just have to find some real world event in case they decide to think too hard about it.

[killectric]

What, like their severed head?

[He doesn't miss a beat.]
