[He opens his mouth, and it almost feels like he's about to start yelling at her that she hasn't been listening either, that it would help if she'd trusted him enough to use his own ability responsibly if she wanted him to extend the same sort of trust to her after she used to do stupid things like change her eye color to make a point and piss him off in front of a pretty girl, but he stops himself and reaches for some sort of calm, letting out a frustrated breath instead.]

Raven, I have no idea what you want from me. And I'm not lying, I just don't know what you want me to do. I don't want you to hate me because you feel like you have to define yourself by constantly comparing yourself to me - I don't want Erik to do that either, I can't believe you think I just want everyone to be happy little clones of me, and anything else is just unacceptable. [And there the hurt and anger does shine through a little, because he just can't handle that she thinks so little of him.]

I don't understand what I did to make you think so poorly of me. I want you to be happy and confident in yourself, and if I'm- if I have been and will continue to get in the way of that, I'm more than happy to give you the space you need. But it's not really fair for you to say we can't ever be close again, and then tell me you do still want me in your life.
