Your friend, Ichimaru!

[It's delivered with a triumphant voice and expression. But Hitsugaya has yet to take any of Gai's gifts.]

Candy?

[frozenheavens]

[His gaze darkens considerably when Gai mentions that Ichimaru is the culprit.]

He's not my friend. We're enemies, so he set you up. And no, I don't want any candy, I'm not a child! [His voice raises by the end of this.]

[spandexisyouth]

Oh.

[Gai considers this for a moment, and then shrugs.]

Candy does not imply youth! One of my fellow ninja is close to obsessed with sweet things, specifically dango! But there is also nothing wrong with youth! It is a good thing to have! I myself embrace mine! Just because he meant this to be a negative thing does not mean that you need to make it so!

[frozenheavens]

[Hitsugaya can't help but stare at Gai for a moment, not really sure if he's supposed to take this guy seriously or not.

His tone is low.]

I don't like sweet things, so I don't want any candy. [He pauses, not really sure how to respond to the rant about youth.] Youth is fine in some but generally makes people take one less seriously.

[spandexisyouth]

I see. My Meister does not like sweet things either. That is all right. I know plenty of people who enjoy these so they will not be wasted!

[Gai beams.]

Maybe they are taken less seriously, but they are enjoying life more! Which matters in the end?

[frozenheavens]

How can you be sure they're enjoying life more?

[Please don't use him as an example, Gai. Hitsugaya lives to be miserable.]

[spandexisyouth]

I know because I enjoy life far more than my aloof Meister who lets it pass him by!

[frozenheavens]

[He shakes his head a little.]

Look, you don't need to spout all this at me. I already told you I don't need "cheering up."

[spandexisyouth]

But everyone needs cheering up sometimes. Even me.

[Gai smiles.]

So perhaps you should tell me what you do like, for next time we see each other!

[frozenheavens]

I like being left alone.

[Glare glare glare.]

[spandexisyouth]

[Confident smile.]

I meant as far as snacks or foods.

[frozenheavens]

I don't need to you to bring me food. We don't even know each other.

[Pssss, he likes watermelon, Gai. 8D]

[spandexisyouth]

[If only there was a clue he could follow to find this out!]

We do know each other now! You are Hitsugaya and I am Gai! And food is a good way to strengthen friendshps!

[frozenheavens]

[We'll have to work on this one.]

I already told you, I'm not interested. Aren't there plenty of people who this would be better directed towards?

[spandexisyouth]

Perhaps, but I do not have their names! How many friends do you have, Hitsugaya?
