"Cake, don't apologize to me for bein' a jerk. Okay? Fuck. Lord knows I deserve it at least half the time from most people. I've been nice here. I mean...really...really nice. Because people let me be. Its largely well received and I don't feel like everyone is laughing behind my back. But back home I was a downright monster a lot of the time. I definitely deserve a little flack here and there, and you've never been a total jerk. You're just..." she trailed off, looking for the right word as she absently toyed with his hair. Tactile was a word that barely described her constantly need to touch things.
"Prickly. You're prickly like a hedgehog." Yep, that suited her. "You're not particularly mean or aggressive, and the outside is pretty well-armored but you're still a soft person underneath with the ability to be sweet if you feel so inclined. You're naturally spiky, but you're not at all cruel. Every time I've swung into your life and interrupted your day you've been frustrated, but decent. That's all that can really be asked when dealing with someone like me. And I'm not the sharpest tack, so I'm willing to be I'm not the only person that's made this observation."
She huffed a sigh, leaning back to prop both fists on her hips and look at him with a crooked smile.
"I mean, my only complaint is that you're not more affectionate. One can never have too many platonic spoons. And I'm sure you could do with a cuddle once in a while. Fortunately for you, I'm pretty fuckin' tenacious. I'll be around when you need it, either way!"
