[It was at that point that Andy's temper promptly imploded]
This is not a joke.
[He all but snarled this down the line, his fingers twitching as if overcome with the urge to throttle Hyoubu there and then. Maybe if the esper had been in front of him, he probably would've given into the urge. He could shrug off most jokes Hyoubu pulled on him, after all, he had thick skin and nothing the esper did was really that cruel. Irritating and embarrassing, maybe, but not cruel.
But this? This was toeing the line. This was humiliating on a visceral level, and not even the generous ratings were enough to soften the blow of it. He didn't want strangers to rate his naked ass on a public network! He didn't want anyone to see his naked ass, period! He barely tolerated Hyoubu's mischievous excursions into the bathroom when he was showering! Ugh, he was such an idiot! He knew he shouldn't've trusted Hyoubu to this extent, but he thought the esper would have known where the fucking line was!]
[ The annoying laughter is coming not from Andy's Cerevice but from directly above him. A moment later, Hyoubu touches down into the secluded area of the park that Andy's been ranting in. ]
You're going to destroy the grass, stomping around like that.
[ He has his hands in his pockets, and he glances away after speaking, apparently leaving himself wide open. ]
The second Hyoubu began talking, he flung his Cerevice at the esper with every ounce of strength he possessed, not caring if it broke or Hyoubu spirited it away somewhere. He just didn't care. He didn't even bother to stick around to see if his mad throw connected. The second his Cerevice left his hand, he stormed off in a complete huff, hissing out filthy obscenities under his breath]
-fucking little... doesn't know when to piss off...
[Andy growled something unintelligible, gritting his teeth so hard he felt pain spark at his temples, stomping away a little bit faster even if he knew it to be futile. Even if Andy decided to break into the fastest sprint he could manage, Hyoubu would keep up with him, if only to drive him into a rage-induced psychotic break.
Abruptly he stopped, breathing harshly, before spinning around and giving Hyoubu a look of utter disgust]
[ Andy had been angry on the phone, and a moment ago stormed off, but now the full intensity of his radiating fury is trained fully upon Hyoubu. He freezes. ]
[It was impossible to gauge his mental state at that point. It was as if a metal wall had come crashing down, all surface thoughts gone, his expression completely unreadable, with the exception of that hard stare that looked down at Hyoubu as if the esper was found wanting]
[ Before he left to attack Black Phantom, he told Magi to take PANDRA and do as he saw fit with its resources. He'd said he wasn't coming back, most likely, and that it didn't matter in any case. He's a ghost, who exists only to take care of some unfinished business. It was past time for everyone to move on.
Magi had just grunted at him. It was infuriating at the time, but what could he do? Now, it seems, his efforts at pushing someone away have finally worked, and he ought to be happy about that, for Andy's sake anyway, but...
He realizes he's still holding Andy's Cerevice. He clicks it on. ]
Don't bother. People have already said they'd repost it if it was.
[But his cold stare seemed to thaw a little at that, so, small victories. There was a tense pause, before he suddenly sighed, his shoulders lowering from where they had been held tensely, his eyes closing as if exhausted]
[Andy stared at the Cerevice for a moment before silently taking it. He was still furious, would probably be angry for several days before it cooled off into irritation, but he wasn't going to reject Hyoubu's attempts at maintaining the peace]
