[ Tidus groans, a sound through gritted teeth, and he rubs the side of his face by his temple before letting the hand run through his hair. ]

This is why I'm asking! [ Why he needs to ask before accepting anything, when it has nothing to do with like, then it does respect. ] When you started asking me questions about my love life, I thought this had to do with you wanting more perspectives. Then you were giving me that advice about loving multiple people, and it was confusing! Why would you suddenly be so interested in seeing me get with someone? How am I supposed to know how to take it? And when you said I couldn't handle it - it sounded like a dig!

[ He gestures a hand at the package, the box. ] Why do you think I said I didn't want your opinion and left? And now you're coming with a gift? If you were judging me, then yeah, I was gonna tell you to shove it, even if you did still like me!

[ Because he isn't going to accept a gift under those circumstances. Screw that! ]
