Isn't personality supposed to be the most important part anyway?

Hardly. It's my second favorite.
First being my own, of course. [ Snerk. ]

Oh, you're desperate to see that three-hour period romance that just came out? I heard the will-they-wont-they portion is excruciatingly long.

[spktr]

Yeah of course.

That's very narcissistic of you, buddy
Or just really positive self love
either way, good for you

Gotta build up all that tension for the finale to mean something, right?

[is he being serious or..]

[accessgranted]

It was a joke. [ He doesn't have any strong feelings about his own voice, though he does get told that he could stand to 'shut up sometimes' often enough. ]

Not arguing that I might be a narcassist though. [ Hooo boy. ] Are there awkward insecure narcissists? I think that sounds about right.

Oh, of course. Nothing better to cap up three hours of tension than a awkward ballroom kiss.

[spktr]

You're definitely too self aware to be a narcissist.
Though you have called me handsome before, which would just be a compliment for yourself too.

For the record I was thinking of something funnier and lighthearted anyway
unless you have an idea?

[accessgranted]

I do have this funny little American man in my head to tell me when I'm being a dick.
Probably helps. [ Just breathe. ] You were handsome for a cryptid haunting me and banging up stuff at my job. Bit egotistical, but I also don't see myself in you, and yet I do. It's a bit mental.

I'd take a comedy, I could use a laugh right now.

[spktr]

I think we're far past the point of mental
but I know what you mean.
I guess you never thought you were supposed to look any different either right?
You always knew this body and face.

Comedy sounds good.
We can go to the actual movies, make a night of it.

[accessgranted]

Think so? Look the same but different. Same hair different style. Could say the same for the body too, I think.

I'd like that, actually. At the Regal the popcorn is vegan, that and some Twizzlers could be a good time, yeah?

[spktr]

I always pictured your body as being a lot softer than mine.
In a cute way.

[Fuck. Is that weird to say? Too late now, he'll just gloss on by that.]

Thank god we share the same movie candy taste
I don't think my stomach could handle another box of chocolate today

[accessgranted]

[ It requires every bit of restraint he has not to make any telling noises in response. Time to take a breath and stare out the window like he isn't, accidentally, being driven even more mad than before. ] If you weren't around galavanting at night it probably would be. [ That... sounds normal right? Sure. Maybe reverting to obnoxiousness will save him from the embarrassment that currently has a stranglehold on him. ] Honestly thought you'd be taller. [ There. ]

You can pick the candy, since I've had more than my fair share, I'll even have water to make it up to you. [ Not that he was keen on soda anyway, but still... it's a movie. ]

[spktr]

[The comment is distracting enough to pull Marc out of his own self doubt, falling for it so easily:]

Ouch
but touche

Sounds like a fair deal.
We can switch during the movie too.
Don't want to take up all the fun from the front seat.

[accessgranted]

It's just how you carry the body. Not a complaint. [ Time to steer a little into the spin, oh no. ]

I'm getting more comfortable in the back seat. I assume that means things are... just better in general.
More comfortable.

[spktr]

You mean I act taller than I look?
first time I've heard that one

Well, don't forget it's a mutual thing. I'm fine being in the back seat sometimes too.
I'm glad you feel more comfortable though
so do I

[accessgranted]

You've never heard that before? Really?
I'm not mocking you for once, I'm genuinely surprised.

Mm. I know now when I wake up in the middle of the night it's because you think you're being sneaky and organizing things.

[spktr]

Maybe people have thought it but not said it to my face.

Look...
It wouldn't hurt to make room on the kitchen table to actually use as a kitchen table

[accessgranted]

Probably because of the aforementioned thing.

Room for what? Our regular dinner parties?

[spktr]

One again: ouch

The entire apartment is one giant bookshelf, Steven.
I just want one clean surface

[accessgranted]

Ouch? Most people would love to have some kind of a presence.

bloodyhellmarc
Fine. No more books on the kitchen table.
You're leaving my desk alone though, got it?
Doesn't matter how many books I put on it, that's the deal.

[spktr]

I thought you were insulting me again.

Your desk is all yours, I won't lay a finger on it.
Why do you hate the thought of tidying up so much?

[accessgranted]

Quite the opposite.

I just... I like to be surrounded by my things. I guess. [ Better this conversation than the other, he supposes, but it's hard. ] When it's all put away it feels so empty. I guess it made me feel more alone when I came home.

[spktr]

Harder when I can't hear your voice.
you like my "presence"?

That's totally fine, for the record. Your things are yours, and I don't wanna mess with them.
I just want to walk 2 steps without tripping over a book the size of an encyclopedia

[it pains him to hear about how lonely Steven used to feel though, before everything.]

do you still feel like you have to keep it this way?

[accessgranted]

Yeah. Sometimes I wish that carried over too.

Honestly I guess I didn't think about it. I was just used to it being the way it is. [ Change, everything is changing so fast, he clung to the normalcy but... ] I guess it couldn't hurt to put up some more shelves, don't want you scuffing any of my books.

[spktr]

You're way more approachable, that's also a good presence to have.

It might make you feel better seeing them all organized
so you can actually find things
show off your collection properly

[accessgranted]

Funny that.

Show it off to who? You?
But
Let's do it. I'll... order some shelves. After the movie though.
I'll need some time to contemplate my life choices. heh.

[spktr]

And your crush when you finally invite him over.
but hey it might also make you feel better. that's the ultimate goal.

Right movie
We could use some mindless entertainment

[spktr]

[Switching like this can be exhausting but it's necessary right now. Marc needs to calm down. Ironic, considering he was the one telling Steven to relax just a few minutes ago. It's the thought of another potential alter messing with them without their knowledge that is bothering Marc the most right now and he doesn't know what to do. What if they come out without warning now? Will him or Steven be able to stop it?

Bless Steven for being okay taking control for a little while though. He is braver and stronger than he gives himself credit for and Marc appreciates him more than he can say. He's happy to take the backseat for a while and watch as Steven gets into the car, starts it up, trying to ease the chill through their body.]

Check... Check the glovebox. Maybe our papers are in there. We need to find our passport. [Deep, deep breaths. Marc is trying not to be loud about it too but he can't help the way he struggles with his breathing, a panic attack only abated by the fact that Steven took over.]
