It's not an insult, but it certainly isn't a compliment either. I love this part of you, and being pragmatic isn't a bad thing in the slightest. I'm idealistic enough for the both of us. However, sometimes it feels as though you purposefully use it to keep things from me.
[ it's certainly a good way to get around illogical issues like feelings and all that other hogshit, doubly so when the little red rose is bitching and whining, raving and crying. even riddle knows when he's having an irrational tantrum, there's not much he can do when faced with logic's cold truth other than run away. does this make him weak?
riddle honestly has no idea what his endgame is. he knows he has no right to "fix" anyone when he's completely deranged himself. does he want kaiser to fall in love with him too? to genuinely accept all of him, these cumbersome feelings and all? to trust him? let him take care of him maybe? riddle genuinely has no idea, and at this point trying to decide seems daunting. frightening, even.
all he can say with certainty is that he wants his best friend to find happiness someday, and that he doesn't want to be with anyone else. he's given up everything to make this wish come true-- after all, he isn't going back home to his mother, his only family, what was once his entire world. for riddle, there is no turning back. ]
I'll leave it be for now. Indeed, it is what it is. I wish you understood that I want you to be happy too, though.
[ any further discussion will result in riddle crying in front of his friends and probably ruining his vacation, so he chooses to leave it at that! ]
Alright. Don't disappoint me, mighty emperor. I expect nothing short of excellence from you, so if you come to me with sour news, it's off with your head.
[ if he sounds more invested than he actually is, it's because he's Trying, truthfully he wasn't kidding when he said he doesn't actually give a shit either way. in fact, he's finding that he's coming to resent stupid football? all it's been good for is making his wife rich, otherwise it just pisses riddle off and causes trouble in paradise!!! ugh! ]
