[UghhHHHHH YOU'RE SO ANNOYING (<- man who did nothing helpful here)]
Pull yourself together and figure it out, Stupid Rabbit. You can have a crisis about it once we're out of here.
[And in the meantime--it won't be hard for Kanda to keep treating him the way he always does. Kanda doesn't change himself for others, after all, and... regardless of the rest of it, he knows "Lavi." The glimpses under the mask: As far as he's concerned, they're still Lavi too. Unless Lavi tells him otherwise, that doesn't need to change.]
at that Lavi just starts -- laughing? THIS IS SO STUPID IT'S SOOOO STUPID but he can't stop, and it's neither his usual false levity or the humorless kind from earlier, it's just bright and honest, probably prompted by how DUMB they are and maybe by the fact that Kanda will always call him by the name he wants to call him, inner crises be damned. he just gasps and snickers until his stomach hurts, and luckily for him he isn't injured in this thread YET.
the shadows finally part, releasing them from the void, and Lavi's laughter eventually subsides, wiping a tear from his only eye so he can grin at Kanda,]
[This is not at all the reaction he expected, not that he expected anything in particular because he really is an idiot--but it also means that all he can do is just :man_standing: while Lavi loses his shit and also probably his mind, if he had any of that left. God.
(It doesn't escape him that he hasn't heard Lavi, or anyone, laugh like this in a long, long time--but if he follows that line of thought for too long it'll only lead to extremely depressing places, so he opts for annoyance instead.)]
If you don't quit calling me that, there's not gonna be any name at all on your damn tombstone. [(voice of a guy who has had several years to follow through on his threats, hasn't done so)]
[TRULY KANDA HAS HAD SO MANY YEARS TO KILL LAVI and probably did genuinely try to kill him that first year damn, which Lavi now has more context for beyond 'kanda was an angry feral child', now he knows the actual reason why.
a part of him wants to wince at the way he's apparently tread on Kanda's TRAUMATIC PAST, even with the excuse of ignorance -- which really makes it worse when Lavi thinks about it. and a bigger part of him thinks he should turn the question back on Kanda, a "what do you want me to call you?" and give him a choice that sixteen year old Lavi had never given him. he thinks and thinks and thinks and... feels reluctant.
maybe this is how normal people feel when they get used to a name, why it's so strange that Lavi has so many and so little attachment to them all. Now he can see it from their point of view -- that one can't simply stop calling a person they know by the name they know them as,]
...Guess I got used to calling you that too.
[and anyway, lavi reasons, kanda has plenty of time in the future to stab him and roast him over an open fire for continuing to call him 'yuu', so... he'll stop when that day comes, probably.]
