"Well that's bullshit," Mac snorted, rolling his eyes and sitting up again, folding his arms on the table to look at Aoba.
"Exactly who decides who "deserves" Declan? Nobody deserves him, if we're being honest. He's gigantic, he's slow, he's a huge child - mind your damn business I didn't say manchild I already know what you're thinking about me - he cries about the dumbest stuff. He's a huge pain in the ass. No one deserves that," Mac went on, deliberately aiming to get a rise out of Aoba, pointing a finger at him and narrowing one eye before the man could have an outburst just yet.
"Or do you think you're entitled to decide what Declan wants for himself? Like there's some kind of scale out there measuring what people can and can't have based on some arbitrary set of societal rulings? If he likes you and you like him, then you two "deserve" each other. Pretty fuckin' simple math. If you don't like him, then don't. No one says you have to. But if you do, and you're bitching out because you've got Declan on a pedestal, then take him down from it. I can guaran-goddamn-tee he doesn't want to be up there. All that does is isolate him more, but he's too polite and stupid to complain."
