Rep would go. Rep would leave once he got whatever this was out of his system. There was no point in even coming to his own defense anymore because Rep only turned around and continued. The only way to end a conversation was to not be a part of it. He wanted it to stop.
His hands went up to cover his ears, his folded glasses still in one hand, and he crouched down and waited. There was no point in listening anymore.
Saliva, please talk over him.
Melvin. I -
..please...
Saliva started to hum in his head.

The crouch was a gesture of submission as far as Rep was concerned. He felt dizzy and crazy, light headed with the detachment in the moment. Part of him irrationally wondered if he'd be able to revert back to his proper accent or if he'd spin off into someone else entirely.
He mentally shrugged Tracey off. He wasn't judging, he was letting him judge himself.
He moved closer to Melvin, and ignoring the man's usual no-touch policy entirely, set his hand on his shoulder. He'd see how long he could keep both his ears covered.

Lucky for him, his hair was thick enough to allow him to tuck his chin in and angle it in hopes of hiding his face. His hands continued to stay covering his ears, and he flinched when he felt Rep's hand on his shoulder. Slapping it away would mean exposing one ear, and now he had a feeble feeling of protection by keeping them covered. Saliva continued to hum, but he could tell how uneasy she was about it.
The man remained, and with it attached all that things Rep said and could still say.
"Go away." He whispered, trying to keep his voice from cracking. He'd done enough. Eventually Rep would grow tired and leave. It was a method he learned from exhausting bullies ages ago. They always got tired when you didn't give them any fight. When you robbed them of the thrill.

Rep didn't take his hand off of Melvin, even as he flinched. Instead he added his other hand to the mix, testing what he could get away with by running his fingertips through perfect blonde hair in an discordantly affectionate gesture.
Once upon a time he was happy to respect Melvin's boundaries, keep certain things off limits but the same had not been paid back to him.
"No." he said, even though he could not be heard.

He could have ignored the voice, and even the hand at his shoulder, while hard to not pay attention to, could be blocked off if he focused very hard on Saliva's voice. It was the hair touching that went too far. He was already very touchy about his own personal space, but even moreso when it came to actual physical contact.
While he tried to not let it get to him, his brain would not allow that. As Melvin tried to preserve his own sanity, his mind quickly flicked on to a very serious issue. Rep had been cooking and making a mess, had been on the floor when he broke the door, and was now running god-knows-what through his hair. If he was assured that the hand was clean and that if that person could be trusted, he would have been at least a bit more tolerant to the action, but his eyes opened to stare at the ground as he felt fingers molesting his hair.
For Rep, it was again similar to what it felt when he touched his hair back during the Jenga course. Soft and brutally maintained. The hair, a bright shade of strawberry blonde, was trimmed, curled this way and that, and thick. The more Rep played with it, the more it curled out in odd angles and poofed here and there.
Not able to take it anymore, Melvin moved his hands from covering his ears to covering his head, and he used his arms to wrap over his head as if he was shielding himself from falling debris. "Don't."
Keeping humming.
Melvin, he wants to talk.
He said enough! Please! He pleaded with her.
Saliva sighed and resumed.

Rep smirked as he got the reaction he wanted, but he didn't back off. "Good, actually ******** listening." He said in his usual accent, ignoring Melvin's objections about the contact as he knelt on one knee beside him, close, in his personal space intentionally, he was done respecting boundaries.
He angled his head to rest his cheek against one of the arms he was shielding himself with.
"I don't want to be enemies."

Again, it was too much contact. It was strange to have such a resting pose probably appear peaceful and comforting on the outside to anyone else, but actually be one of the worst things in the world for him at the current moment. Rep was draped over him and he took it as another form of attack.
Jerking, he kicked back, and shoved rep away, backing away until his back touched one of the legs of the table. "What DO you want?!" He said, finally looking up at him to show flushed cheeks and damp, blue eyes.

Rep found himself disentangled and shoved to the floor, but simply picked himself up again, it used to hurt when Melvin flinched from him, but now he simply took it as a given. As far as he knew Rin could touch him just fine, it was just another reaction based on him not having tits the way so many ******** off limit things seemed to be.
He knelt in front of Melvin, expression unreadable. "What I wanted was not to lose my best ******** friend."
He determinedly sidled back to sit next to him, leaning against him, though not draping the way he had been. "But if I can't have that I'll just ******** settle for pretending I still have one. And you can ******** deal with it."

Melvin sat there, looking at Rep as he sat beside him with wide eyes, a expression of disbelief plastered on his face. Still, he curled his hands around himself in hopes Rep would back off and stop pushing close to him. "Friends?" He wanted to be friends with him after all that and after all Rep just did?! "You have a ******** up way of showing that. After all you said and did." After what Rep enjoyed by listing each and every flaw and reason why everyone should hate him.
"What's wrong with you? Why say that and then say this?" Why tear him down like that and then say he wanted to be his friend? He couldn't do this if being friends with Rep was just going to be him doing this. And if Rep was sure of all he had said, why would he even want to be friends with him? All signs had pointed that rep outright hated who Melvin was as a person by every trait that made Melvin who he was.

"Because I know all those things about you and I don't ******** care? Because I wish you'd stop ******** using everything I say against me but I can tolerate it if I ******** have to. Because I LIKE YOU." He leaned against him determinedly because /he/ needed it, rather than the usual attempts to reach out or console Melvin himself.
"And I ******** said I'd still be here as long as you needed me."
He rubbed his face with a hand. "And I think you still do."

Melvin continued to just look at Rep, not really registering the lean as much as his brain tried to figure what was going on. "Why?" He just didn't get it. "You just had your fun listing all the ways I suck and - " He just didn't get it. WHY would Rep be a d**k like this and pull a full turn and want to be his friend.

"I didn't say anything about anyone sucking. I just said what I've noticed. I didn't say it was bad or good. It's just you. Its how you look to other people. The things that are ******** annoying. But I don't care. I wish you and Rin had just stayed ******** friends because then we'd all be even. But I can deal with it being out of my hands, because I told you I wasn't leaving."

Melvin just looked to Rep and then slowly to the ground, just...taking it all in. He didn't know what to do now. He'd been on such a wild roller-coaster this past hour that he guessed was at the end of the ride and was just left wondering what to do.
He decided to take it my small pieces.
"So...you're not going to kill Rin, or split us apart, and you still want to be my friend after all that you know?"

Rep sighed heavily, burying his face in his hands, back to the usual self conscious mess he always was. "Right."

He couldn't help but believe that things weren't exactly back to normal or even not as bad as before. Instead, he took Rep's word for it, and then just set his hands on his knees, still crouched, and just looked at the ground in front of him. "Okay."
He didn't know what to think, and he still felt terrible. He'd just been summed up as one of the worst people around and that everyone couldn't stand to be around him. It wasn't exactly something he could ignore and start dancing about - not that Melvin was the sort to get up and dance.
"Ok." He repeated, still thinking things over.
What now?
