[ Kindness and consideration had been absent from Setsuna's world for most of his life. The only kindness he had known was a merciful punch to the jaw, and the only consideration he had felt was the considering eyes of a ruthless enemy before they tried to slaughter him in cold blood. The world is violent and Setsuna is violent because of it, or rather was. For all the pain and heartache and lives lost along the way, Setsuna's journey had changed him, and undeniably for the better. The best of mankind. The worst of mankind.
It breaks his heart that Mello only seems to know the worst, instead of the flowers and the aimless skygazing and the silly pastries shared between friends, because the worst is all he'd ever received. And it's unlikely that will ever change, because those sorts of wounds always ran the deepest, but understanding is something he'll never stop trying to do. He has to do it. Just as it is in his nature to pick up a gun and fire it, it is paradoxically in his nature to put it away and embrace his enemy instead.
If only his Gundam were here, 00. He'd see. He'd know what it was like, for hearts and minds to be open and free, up above, in that sea of stars. To love and be loved in turn. It's naive and idealistic but Setsuna is naive and idealistic, just as Mello had claimed (accused). And if Mello looked down on him for that, just as he is looking down on him now, so be it. ]
I'll like you anyway.
[ The words are permanent. Immovable. Impenetrable. They will not budge. Setsuna will not budge, no matter how murderously he might glare at him. They may never be friends and only be allies and nothing more, but Setsuna will not budge.
/patpats it's fine brosis I still love you

Setsuna likes him, and that will not change. ]
At least sit down.
