Really now?! That's amazing! You simply *must* find out one day, and be sure you tell me when you do! The most I can lift is a 20lb box of cat litter from the supermarket, and even that is a struggle... You truly are amazing sometimes, Toji-san.
[ riddle is so unathletic it's actually sad-- having to skip gym class so often because he either can't change in the locker room without half the school seeing his lower half covered in bruises and love bites, or he's trapped in the infirmary with a heating pad on his lower back because definitely isn't helping him improve any.
at least he has brains to fall back on; seeing his idea so well received has riddle preening and sparkling. ]
Wouldn't I just? And you're more than used to me crawling all over you, demanding your attention. Would you like to pick something you want to see me wear, or shall I surprise you? Also, it's bold of you to assume I would be so well-behaved. Kittens are hardly known for staying out of trouble, you know. Could you handle being on the receiving end of my claws?
If I find any cars people don't mind me lifting, I'll be sure to let you know. It's okay, I can do all the heavy stuff for you. You just focus on looking pretty.
[ it's alright. riddle doesn't need to be athletic, and if toji knew that he was having such an effect on him that he has to skip gym class all the time... yeah, that would probably just encourage him.
he's a monster, as established. ]
Oh, I don't think your claws would be much trouble. Kittens are also easy to pick up by the scruff when they start to misbehave. Besides, I'm sure that you'd just be misbehaving because you're in heat.
Just set it down gently and you should be fine, right? I don't have my license and know next to nothing about cars, but surely nothing will happen if you're careful with it.
I have other talents outside of just being pretty, you know! I'm surprisingly handy! ...Well, I'm *knowledgeable* about handy things! I even put a coffee table together all by myself once.
[ in fairness to him, riddle probably could be handier if he was, you know, tall enough to reach high shelves. he'll need toji for that too. what he will not need toji for is help with his grades, however. riddle is going to get his first C, in gym class of all things, because of this wretched man...! ]
You're a fool if you think scruffing me will be enough to save you. Very well. We'll see just how good of an owner you'll be. Since it's going to be *your fault* I'm ovulating to begin with, you had better be prepared to take responsibility!
That I shall. But remember, it's only if you let me have a go at you! One punch!
Oh, I'm sure you have lots of talents. You're probably smarter than me, too.
[ does toji believe that? not necessarily. he is, if nothing else, much more experienced, and exceptionally savvy as a tactician when he puts his mind to it. but he likes to make sure people don't know that as much as possible. it's hard to be underestimated when you look like he does, but he finds his ways.
and it'll make riddle happy to hear it, so. two birds, stones, etc. ]
I think you know I'm more than capable of handling you when you get feisty. And don't worry, I'll take plenty of care of you, no matter how worked up you get, okay kitten?
Don't you have any pride?! Don't just say that sort of thing about yourself! It's scientifically proven that negative self-talk has an effect on your self-esteem! Not only that, but it comes across as insincere! If you're going to flatter me, do it properly and in a way that doesn't end up making me angry!
[ in all honesty, riddle doubts the validity of toji's so-called claim anyway. certainly, he's booksmart, but his upbringing has left him twisted and sheltered, naive to the ways of the world. he can't even process his own emotions without feeling stupid and confused sometimes. if nothing else, toji is far more experienced in just about every way that matters when it comes to navigating the world.
riddle is determined to get there someday though-- at least, he wants to experience the good and the happiness within it. he's only been free of his mother for a short while, but riddle can already see that books don't do the outside world justice. ]
I will admit, you know a thing or two, even though your methods tend to be underhanded.
[ not bending to his every whim is totally underhanded, alright? ]
I also can't deny that you're very good at taking care of me. This is a treat for you, so be sure you enjoy it to the fullest when the time comes, alright? I'll begin shopping when I'm not in public...
[ huzzah! ]
It's a deal. I'll most definitely rattle your liver and leave you reeling, you'll see!
Oh, well, I'll have to remember that. The last thing I want to do is make my little girl angry. Besides, don't worry. Look at me. I'm gorgeous. I have plenty of self esteem.
[ this is, perhaps, a total lie. it's complicated. toji is an interesting blend of narcissism and self loathing, but he won't get into it now. or ever. men will do anything but go to therapy. ]
My methods are effective, is what they are. That's all that matters.
And don't worry. I always enjoy myself with you. And a cute little kitten that will do anything I ask, take me in every hole and moan so pretty? Oh, I'm getting hot just thinking about it.
