[ Levi purses his lips slightly as he picks up his cup again and leans back. There's a hint of amusement in his eyes. ]

Of course I am. I'm also right.

[laserhawk]

[ dolph looks down on his ring. brushes his thumb against the two stones. ]

Yeah. You are.

[reviling]

A few quiet beats go by as Levi just watches Dolph quietly over the rim of his cup, eventually settling it back between both hands.

"...the opposite is true, too.

I'm glad he has you."

[laserhawk]

[ that surprises him a little, enough to look up back at levi. ]

Me?

[reviling]

"Yeah."

He falls into a somewhat pensive silence for a moment or two, looking into his tea.

"...I think you can care for him in a way no one else could."

[laserhawk]

[ maybe levi is right. despite his first impulse to dismiss it, dolph knows how forlorn jean feels. the loss of his friend in the fight, the way he feels he'll never come first place in someone's heart. all of these aspects kept him apart from others. made him unsure if someone could love him the way he wanted to be.

dolph had cleaved through because all he wanted to do was loving jean. ]

Yeah. You may be right. It's a long time coming but.

I'm here now.

It's unlikely that Levi would ever voice it directly, so luckily Dolph understands exactly what he means.

"I'm glad." Warm, sincere.

He leans back again then with his cup, relaxed once more. "So you both'd better be good to each other, or I'll be kicking both your asses."

[laserhawk]

[ dolph huffs, bemused. he takes another sip of his tea, letting the flavor wash away his doubts. ]

Somehow, I think we'll manage.

[ the tendril of hope that circles his words is faint. but it's there. ]
