It's complicated Marc, really. I trust you. I'm just- Have you ever just been happy, and maybe you could be happier, but you have to risk your happiness for it? But don't think it's about trust, it isn't. I trust you.
Surprisingly, yeah. As long as you know you can talk to me about anything when it feels right or if you want me to fuck off, you can say that too and I'll stop. It's just fun to tease you sometimes.
I will, when I think I can. Talk to you I mean. You'll be the first person to know. But I'm not worried, there's zero chance of you figuring it out and it gives me something to lord over you besides scrabble.
What? Like a specter? Do you think I've got a crush on the boogieman? I see him pretty regularly, thank you. You're good at a lot of things Marc, but I think we both know this isn't one of them.
[ He should find it annoying, or tiring, but honestly it's just endearing. ] You know, you make a good point. I'll keep my ears and heart open to any spooky messages left behind on my phone from possibly hot ghosts. Or ugly ghosts, I suppose, since I'm assuming I can't see them. Would do me good to have another invisible person to yammer at on my bus route. Keeps the muggers away.
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.
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 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.
[ 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. ]

asdoihsdoiasd i can't believe you've done this to me
that was a convenient typo
Here I thought we weren't keeping secrets anymore. You wound me.
I can be given no leeway
Vanilla I bet.
Oi. That's not fair. This isn't the same kind of secret and you know it!
no subject
Okay fine. I get it if it's too weird for you.
no subject
You're adorable, you are.
It's complicated Marc, really. I trust you. I'm just-
Have you ever just been happy, and maybe you could be happier, but you have to risk your happiness for it?
But don't think it's about trust, it isn't. I trust you.
no subject
Surprisingly, yeah.
As long as you know you can talk to me about anything
when it feels right
or if you want me to fuck off, you can say that too and I'll stop.

no subject
what is he, invisible?
no subject
I see him pretty regularly, thank you.
You're good at a lot of things Marc, but I think we both know this isn't one of them.
no subject
[he - he's such a dumbass.]
I'm trying not to guess
out of respect
or something
no subject
You know, you make a good point. I'll keep my ears and heart open to any spooky messages left behind on my phone from possibly hot ghosts.

Keeps the muggers away.
You're a real good one mate.
Wanna catch a movie?
no subject
Getting tired of my voice?
[He's just teasing of course. It feels nice to talk about something light and not so serious for once.]
Sure, in the mood for a romcom?
no subject
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.
no subject
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..]
no subject
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.
no subject
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?
no subject
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.
no subject
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.
no subject
I'd like that, actually. At the Regal the popcorn is vegan, that and some Twizzlers could be a good time, yeah?
no subject
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
no subject
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. ]
no subject
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.
no subject
I'm getting more comfortable in the back seat. I assume that means things are... just better in general.
More comfortable.
no subject
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
no subject
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.
no subject
Look...
It wouldn't hurt to make room on the kitchen table to actually use as a kitchen table
