[ When Josh says it like that, a little something inside Beat deflates. It's not like he's wrong, it only started because they needed someone to lean on, but it makes it sound so... undesired. Undesirable? Unwanted? Beat isn't sure but it makes it feel a way.
Especially as the fingers still.
Beat huffs gently and offers Josh a smile, eyes squinting open again and he shakes his head. ]
You can always check my memories, dunno how unaltered they gonna be due to shit but they're there. Uh, my side at least. But hey. It's aight. Listen, yo.
[ He reaches up with those stupid big paw hands of his and take Josh's to still them, hold them. His tail wags. ]
It's aight if you don't wanna go down that path? Memories make us part of who we is, yo. Yer Josh, as much as any other Josh is, but you ain't MY Josh if you don' wanna be. I'll still treatchu wid love an' respect, 'cuz you deserve nothin' less, but I can drop the lovin' stuff. I know we played an' teased 'fore, but we can go slower. Or not at all. You ain't gotta try to be no one you think you ain't, 'cuz you is you an' yer the one I fell in love wid. Sass an' snark an' shittery an' all.
