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.
