Letting out a weak sigh, he nodded just a bit. “I was just trying to relax you… I guess. Get your mind off the current situation. You were so panic stricken, I just hated seeing you like that.” Phoenix told her, pulling up a soft smile. “I guess I was just showing you that I care.”
Cicada smiled back at him softly. Her face was still just slightly red, but she swung her legs to get the swing going again, "I, thanks. It did help me, I guess because I was a little shocked at the actions. So um, yeah it helped. And, um, it was nice to see that you cared."
Smiling back at her softly, he nodded just a bit. "If I ever do something that bothers you, just tell me. I wouldn't want to annoy you." Phoenix told her, watching her swinging back and forth. "I don't want to lose my only friend. I'd be stuck with my sister again… and I really like hanging out with you."
Cicada laughed as she smiled back at him. She gave him a little nod, "I definitely tell you, but it'll take a lot to annoy me. That and I also really like hanging out with you."
"Mm, that's a good sign. It's lucky we both found each other." Phoenix purred softly, kicking off the ground. "I mean, if you hadn't asked for my help, I'd probably be sitting back in my dorm doing homework right now."
"Hah, probably," Cicada let out a laugh though she was concerned about the little purr she heard. But she wasn't going to question it, not at this time at least, "I mean, it would be more productive than sitting on a swing talking with me."
"Pfft, I don't wanna be doing homework though. So change my previous sentence to 'attempting' to do my homework." Phoenix chuckled a little bit, sighing a bit. "I can't make myself do something when I don't want to do it. I literally find all the excuses in the world."
Cicada laughed as she kept looking at him, "That makes sense. I do the same, except with sleep."
"I wish I didn't… I would get so much more done if I didn't procrastinate as much as I did." He hummed, kicking at the ground again. "I could probably be ruling the world, if it weren't for my stupid procrastination."
"Probably, but it's maybe better if your not the overload of the planet right now," Cicada gave him a reassuring smile, "The world probably isn't ready for you ya know?"
Phoenix snickered, pursing his lips before speaking. "Sure thing. I'll just wait until my prime time." He insisted, starting to get higher off the ground. "Unless you think it's a dangerous thing for me to be ruling."
"Oh, I don't think it's dangerous. Stupid, possibly, but definitely not dangerous," Cicada responded as she kept kicking. A smile bright on her face as she kept going, "So go ahead and rule once it's your time."
"I'd love to have you around, as my logical partner in ruling the world." Phoenix chirped, glancing over at her with a smile. "It would be quite nice to have someone who doesn't hate me."
Cicada smiled back at him as she gave him a little thumbs-up, "Definitely. And I'll be able to beat up all of your enemies so you stay ruler of the world. Though I feel have me as a co-ruler type deal would be, um, a little dangerous."
"Mmm, don't worry about it. We just have to get the people weaponless, and we won't have to worry about an uprising. Though we can't be careless." Phoenix insisted, clicking his tongue. "Though it's not really going to happen."
"If we take away the weapons, then the people will just make more," Cicada responded as she let out a sigh, "Besides, it really isn't going to happen. But it's fun to think about what would happen."
"And that's why you would be my logical partner." Phoenix chirped, smiling over at her. "It could be fun ruling over the world for a day. Or stressful chaos. Either or at this point. America would be hard enough to deal with."
"America really would be. They wouldn't be happy at being ruled by a dictator again," Cicada laughed as she kept smiling at him. She swung a little higher, "But it would be fun to rule the world for the day. We should rule on tax day."
"That seems like a good plan. Once we have the money, we can do anything. Imagine the possibilities!" Phoenix grinned, speaking in a joking manner. "We could be rich."
"Haha yes! We can just buy the world," Cicada responded with a bright grin. She swang higher and higher, "Or help out people. That would be cool too."
“Either or. I’m cool with both of them.” Phoenix chuckled, still swinging gently. “Though as a more mature sounding person, I should probably say I’d help others.”
"Yeaaah probably," Cicada let out a long sigh as she kept swinging. She smiled over at him, "But honestly what's the fun in that? As someone who will never grow up, I say keep it all."
“Well, guess I’m more mature.” Phoenix snickered, letting a smirk pull up on his lips. “In some aspects at least. It’s fifty fifty from what I can tell from our past two days.”
Cicada laughed as she let her own smirk tug on her lips. She let herself slow down to a halt almost, "Hey, fifty-fifty my ass, it's more seventy-five twenty-five. You being the seventy-five."
Phoenix laughed, leaning back on the swing. "Sure thing, Cicada. If that's what you wanna believe." He snickered, turning his head to look over at her. "I'm much less mature than I think you think I am."
“I didn’t say you were mature, Phoenix, just more mature than me,” Cicada retorted as her head turned to look at him. She had a bit of a cocky smile on her face, “And that’s all that matters.”
"Alright, alright. Whatever floats your boat." Phoenix hummed, rolling his eyes a bit at her comment. "Though clearly, neither of us are good at pretending. We're arguing over who's the least mature. I feel that makes a petty argument."
Cicada laughed as she nodded in agreement. They clearly weren't very good at being mature, "Yeah, it does seem like a petty argument. So let's move on then?"
"Let's, before it turns in to an actual argument." Phoenix hummed, getting up off the swing. "We don't need that right now. It seems quite silly." He continued to hum, turning back to look at her.
Cicada hopped off her swing smiling. She stepped up next to him, "We really don't, but if we did. It would stupid and silly and probably end in both of us laughing. Hopefully."
