[he honestly doesn't]

Fine, guess I'll fuck off and let you wallow. does that make you feel better?

[accessgranted]

Not when you put it like that. [ It's not like they really get to go anywhere as it is. ]

Sorry. I know you're trying to help in that awful way you do it. I just... don't know if I want help.

[spktr]

Okay.

[a few minutes pass but Marc can't help himself:]

Do I need to punch someone on your behalf?

[accessgranted]

Think it would do us more harm than good to have you pummeling the cute couple at Star Books. Or the Barista, even if I think he might deserve it. Just a bit.

[spktr]

It would make me feel better if they did something to hurt you.

[accessgranted]

They didn't do anything besides have a good time. Maybe be a bit obnoxiously cute, if you ask me. Hardly a crime.

[spktr]

[Marc needs a minute or two to understand. he isn't the smart one here okay? his monkey brain immediately assumed someone physically went for Steven or hurt his feelings intentionally. but this... makes him think of some other conversations they've had.]

But it made you feel bad?

[accessgranted]

Not at first, I thought they were cute. Happy. Sharing a snack, a book, and a laugh. It's nice to see people happy.

[spktr]

Yeah. If they're not being obnoxious.

[accessgranted]

[ Snort. ]They weren't being obnoxious, Marc. They were being sweet. Like people in love. I can't begrudge that and you shouldn't either.

[spktr]

Then
why did it upset you?

[accessgranted]

... [ He's reminded of why he didn't want to talk about this in the first place, but it's too late now and Marc is as stubborn as he is. ] Because...

Because I was snapped out of whatever thoughts I had by Alexi bringing me my tea, that I always come in alone and
I realized I don't know how to answer those kinds of questions.

[spktr]

Gotcha.

[Marc probably shouldn't be pushing it but he knows Steven would be pushing him if he was upset, and he just... wants to make things better. Somehow. He isn't good at this at all but he's trying.]

You deserve to have something like that if you want it, Steven.
I thought you didn't though
unless you changed your mind

[accessgranted]

I'm not immune to feeling alone. Even if I've got you, which makes me luckier than most. Romance is...
I mean, I think it's just part of human nature to want it.

[spktr]

Yeah of course.
I'm sorry it made you sad.

I can pick you up more candy if it helps.

[accessgranted]

Sweet. But I'm decently sure if I eat any more I might have to do some of the working out and I'm enjoying my muscles with no effort lifestyle right now. [ He's got to lighten the mood somehow, right? Though it feels a little flat. ]

Don't you miss it?

[spktr]

Hah you're welcome

[They've promised to communicate better so Marc is trying not to run away from anything heavy. Really.]

Yeah sometimes.
despite contrary belief i'm also human

[accessgranted]

Anyone who thinks you aren't human hasn't seen you try to wait for someone walking too slow.
I just... haven't done a lot of that, and I think it will take some time to resign myself to knowing that I won't.

[spktr]

They always take up the whole fucking sidewalk
just choose a side!

I know we've talked about this before but this is your body too. You're allowed to do whatever will make you happy.

[accessgranted]

[ It's probably a little mad the way he just bursts into laughter, but hopefully people will just see the phone and leave it up to a comical text. Which isn't untrue. ] Patience is a virtue, yeah? Ahah.

I know. That's... that isn't really the problem. I feel more like it's my body than I think I have in a long time. It's just
complicated.

[spktr]

[he probably shouldn't ask
but he's gonna]

Is there someone you like?

[accessgranted]

Does it...
Is that really important? Does it
Does it matter?

[spktr]

I'll take that as a yes.
it's that cute barista who always gives you extra scones, isn't it?

[accessgranted]

What? No, no. I'm sure they just give me extra because I come in at the end of the day.
I'm not going to act on it, so does it matter?

[spktr]

You're impossible
nothing will change if you keep waiting and wishing and hoping.
