“You’re right, I shouldn’t have assumed otherwise.” He’s witnessed Sami go through some hardships in his forever feud with Kevin and now this… “Even with all of this happening you will always be the same Sami we all know and love.” and Cesaro really could admire that sort of consistency. It made him very reliable in this day and age.

      ^{“It’s cool. I’m just amazed and grateful that you’re still here.”      He would probably never be able to forget how it felt to be truly alone, but times like this made him remember that that was all in the past and he wasn’t alone now; he had made many great friends over time and he would always cherish these bonds. “Thanks, Cesaro. Means a lot.”}

“Of course I trust you!” He was quick to reply. “Without a single doubt in my mind I trust you.” Sami has always been food to him and Cesaro made the decision a long time ago to put forth just as much effort into their relationship. 

“I only wanted to bring up some of my concerns but knowing you, you’ve always sort of had ‘your own way’ with this.”

           ^{“What concerns?    Is it about the Braun thing?”      Despite the light expression on his face  -—  he delivered the question sternly and arched his eyebrows at him,      “Um… yeah, I do have my own way with things, but that’s not gonna change me as a person. I’m fine.”      He didn’t know whether he was trying to convince Cesaro or himself when he said that, resisting the urge to SHUDDER because regardless, he actually wasn’t sure if the statement held truth anymore.}

“Nothing really in particular.” Though part of him wanted to say it’s’ becasue he’s been thinking about Sami’s situation with Braun. But to be safe he wasn’t going to let ‘curiosity kill the cat’ or so they say. He was holding out an olive branch for him to take one that has always been there just naturally. “I just wanted to make sure.”

       ^{He flashed Cesaro a characteristically warm grin.      “Nothing’s changed here, buddy. I still trust you. We’re good.”     he said, his tone expressing the sincerity in those simple words. He hoped it wouldn’t bite him in the ass ; the thought of another person he considered a best friend turning his back on him left a bad taste in his mouth and a hollow feeling in his chest.      “Now,  do you trust me?”}

some meme that i’m not looking for. // not accepting.

       ^{“What made you ask that?”      Part of him wanted to laugh, but Sami had come to realize that  ( despite his bubbly attitude )  not everything in life was a joke. Sighing, he refrained from narrowing his eyes before offering a lighthearted shrug.      “Of course I do.”}
