Why are they dumb? Why should they go away? Maybe the kiss was just a token, Ino, but you do like him. What's the point of ignoring that?

Just because I'm crashing and burning doesn't mean you have to or will. You're close in age, similar enough in mission-mindset. You could be good for each other. Could learn from each other, too.

I don't like him! It was just the kiss that messed everything up!
FROM: yamanaka.ino@cdc.org
That's why I'm ignoring it. I mean, this is what happens when you're around people all the time—you think I didn't get all weird around my teammates sometimes? Or my sensei?
FROM: yamanaka.ino@cdc.org
Besides, it doesn't matter anyway. Even if we were good for each other or whatever, which we're not, he's just not my type. And I'm obviously not his.
You've got a drive and a fire that he needs to learn. He's got a calm head that could balance you. You bicker a lot, but it's not nasty fighting. It's fond.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
And let's reflect on Jean's type. Women with good hair who could kick his ass. Let's look at you. A woman who has good hair who could kick his ass. I'm seeing parallels.

Beyond that, really not sure how types matter all that much. Sometimes what you need isn't what you thought you did.
[Sometimes it surprises you in the flash of a smile reaching bright green eyes.]
I think you're in denial. But I've hidden in denial myself before, and so it's not my place to push you out of it if you're not comfortable. Teasing, yeah. But I can stop telling people if you want.
It's not denial. I just told you what it was, didn't I?
FROM: yamanaka.ino@cdc.org
Besides, even if it was, would you really be able to blame me? I mean, think about it, Garrus.
FROM: yamanaka.ino@cdc.org
Jean is dumb and obnoxious and doesn't know how to keep his big mouth shut. And I'm way hotter than him. Like, I'm totally out of his league, and you can't even deny that.
FROM: yamanaka.ino@cdc.org
And he likes someone else. Not me. So excuse me if I'm not super excited by the idea of falling for another person who doesn't like me back.
FROM: yamanaka.ino@cdc.org
It doesn't matter how much you try to convince me. I'm not doing that again.

Not in the way you're hoping, anyway.
And I don't think that's going to change anytime soon.

If this actually bothers you, I'll drop it.

I think he's starting to like you too, but I can't blame you on the other points, no.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Then again, some people find people who can't keep their big mouths shut attractive.
no subject
Well I don't.

Does this mean you're dropping it? It better mean you're dropping it.
no subject
All right, Ino. I'll drop it. Until or unless something happens to make it look likely again.
no subject
No, you're dropping it for good, because it's not happening.
Ever.
no subject
That's basically what I said, then.
no subject
That's
Fine, whatever!!

As long as I don't have to kiss Eren Jaeger ever again.
no subject
You know, most people would have just said it didn't mean anything and not bothered with any further gestures. People with nothing to hide.
no subject
Remind me again why I put up with you.
no subject
Because I called you pretty.
no subject
Yeah, and I think you owe me a lot more of that after all this.
FROM: yamanaka.ino@cdc.org
You sicced Mikasa on me.
no subject
All right, what do I owe you?
no subject
I'm sure you'll know when you figure it out.
no subject
If you don't tell me, don't be upset if I don't figure it out. We've got two entirely different cultures, after all.
