[It's cruder language than he's accustomed. Not even Stiles is that straightforward or blunt, at least in casual conversation, so it knocks him a little off guard.]
No. If that was the only reason you spoke to me, I suspect you might have lost interest by now. Though I don't understand your motivations well otherwise.
[At a loss—no one has ever openly pursued him like this—Itachi stares at the wall for a good twenty minutes contemplating his own life choices before he can reply.]
Why? Do you truly view a goal like that as something worthwhile?
u talk about " that " as if its somehow more simple than anything else ur complicated im complicated u cant even stand to touch me for longer than 2 minutes
from this vantage it looks like a mountain climb but that dont mean it aint worth headin for the summit
... The reaction I have to you isn’t wholly personal. Touch, without intent for violence, is still unfamiliar to me. If not for prior dimensions, Synchrony would also be a difficult experience and one I’m unlikely to enjoy.
Although with you, it is particularly intense.
[So that part is personal. Stop feeling so much.]
I should dissuade you from any attempts now. Or perhaps you’ll give up, and I will have no need to.
then be violent but i get it, i used to hate bein touched too, now its the language im most fluent in passion and deception cant coexist so it evens the playing field
whats confusing if hurtin me would be easier for u to anchor urself to during synchrony while u get used to me to the intensity ill take anything u have to give
[He's not immune to those words, and the open invitation is unfairly illicit. Not for the first time he wonders why he is still continuing the conversation.]
Determined and reckless. I am beginning to understand you better.
[A start. He finds himself wanting to continue the conversation still—compelled to learn more, an urge like picking at the itch of healing skin—but he is unable to think of a response. So he lets it rest, albeit reluctantly.]
