I'm not telling you to ignore me, I'm telling you to mind your own business!
[Asch lets the flare of emotion - anger - travel through the connection willingly this time, irritated and not used to Luke prying at him. It's been a while, after all, and it's easy to fall back into the habit of lashing out. It doesn't feel right. There's something missing in their connection, an absence of calm and relief and equality that was almost, almost there, before. Like it was a welcomed thing, like it was comforting.
Now it hurts again, and it isn't right. He hates that, and he hates that he hates it.
~DON'T COPY ME OMGGGGG~

I should be glad that it's like this again.
It means that he can't feel this.]
