I'm not an expert or anything. But I think people like us look more different than we think we do when we let ourselves relax a little.

[lapidarius]

What, like how people can look drastically different with or without glasses? I guess that makes logical sense, to a point.

[digiorno]

Not really. I mean we always like to have things a certain way. So when we feel safe enough to have things be a different way, it's really meaningful.

Every time he sees me with my hair down he says something. I used to be worried it was because I looked like . . . you know. But I think it's just because I look calm and relaxed, and he thinks that means I'm happy. So maybe it's the same thing.

[lapidarius]

...Oh. That...actually seems like a pretty good point, doesn't it?

[he is trying, okay.]

I suppose that I could do that.

[digiorno]

You could.

[Let him help. By sneaking his hand up to ruffle Kakyoin's hair huehuehue.]

[lapidarius]

What're y--hey, stop that!

[digiorno]

Noooooo . . .

[HUEHUEHUE]

[lapidarius]

Giorno--!

[are we slapfighting each other's hands]

[is this what world-saving heroes do now]

[digiorno]

[YES WE DAMN WELL ARE A GOOD TIME HAD BY ALL]

[He is still doing his damnedest to hair-ruffle but it's a lot harder with Kakyoin trying to interrupt his holy work. Rude.]

See, you're relaxed now, aren't you? You look very relaxed!

[what a great day]

[lapidarius]

[this is absolutely the face of 'relaxed']

You're awful.

[digiorno]

I'm wonderful! I'm helping!

[The noodle is effectively ruined. The greatest victory for Don Giovanna]

[lapidarius]

[how could you...]

What did my hair ever do to you to deserve help, exactly?

[digiorno]

It was too uptight. It needed to calm down. It's calm now.

[It does not look calm. It looks Upset.]

[lapidarius]

[YOU HAVE DISTURBED THE NOODLE]

I would like you to appreciate that nearly anyone else that did that would be on the floor with a broken nose right now.

[digiorno]

I know. You told me when you were sick that you like me too much to get revenge on me. So now I know I'm safe with you no matter what, coltellino.

[Just gonna hug Kakyoin a little tighter. What a good noodle he is.]

[lapidarius]

More like incredibly lucky. [GRUMPY HUGS]

[digiorno]

I'm the luckiest because you're my friend.

[PETS THE NOODLE BACK INTO PLACE . . . poorly.]

[lapidarius]

Oh, I thought that was my line.

[digiorno]

It can be both of our lines. We can share. I don't mind if you don't.

[lapidarius]

Fine, if you insist. I'm lucky you're my friend, and I'm glad you're here right now.

[digiorno]

[He hums, pleased, and rests his head on Kakyoin's shoulder.]

See, that's exactly how it should be.

[lapidarius]

What, with you trying to drive me crazy?

[...]

I can live with that.

[digiorno]

Trying to make you happy, stupid.

[lapidarius]

I'm not stupid, you're just better at this than I am.

[digiorno]

No, you just don't know how good you are because you do it all on instinct.
