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.
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.
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?
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.
What makes you so sure I'll do anything of the sort? Isn't there some awful misattributed quote about loving me at my worst? Maybe I'll just hang that up and scare anyone off early.
Action comedy it is. I'll catch the line toward the theatre.
No I think the point is most people haven't shot a gun, even less know as much about them. Most people only know about guns through film, really. Does it have ten rounds? twenty? Who knows. Not this guy.
Where do you want to live? I guess I never thought to ask.
I'd like to go, I've seen it plenty in the movies. And maybe in real life but I don't... actually remember it. I remember seeing I should remember it but-- Hold on hopping onto the next route
Of course. I love it here. But I mean, I've never seen anything else. It's home to me. I'd like it if it felt like home to you, too. Or if we found somewhere that did.
It's been more home than anywhere else in a long time. I've been moving around for a good chunk of my life London area is the first place I settled down for longer since I moved out.
[Layla and him were living in London too but... he doesn't want to bring that up right now.]

Look...
It wouldn't hurt to make room on the kitchen table to actually use as a kitchen table
no subject
Room for what? Our regular dinner parties?
no subject
The entire apartment is one giant bookshelf, Steven.
I just want one clean surface

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

It might make you feel better seeing them all organized
so you can actually find things
show off your collection properly
no subject
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.
no subject
but hey it might also make you feel better. that's the ultimate goal.
Right movie
We could use some mindless entertainment
no subject
Isn't there some awful misattributed quote about loving me at my worst? Maybe I'll just hang that up and scare anyone off early.
Action comedy it is. I'll catch the line toward the theatre.
no subject
you mind if we sit near the back?
no subject
Like I said I don't intend to actually... indulge in this. It's just nice to think about sometimes.
I'd rather sit in the back anyway, it's too loud in the middle.
no subject
Yeah and we can talk a little without it being too annoying.
no subject
Don't need anyone privy to your gun knowledge during the climactic gun scenes?
no subject
but i guess thats half the point
no subject
Most people only know about guns through film, really.
Does it have ten rounds? twenty? Who knows.
Not this guy.
[ But apparently he has been listening. ]
no subject
but you're not wrong I guess
I keep forgetting we're not in the states.
no subject
... Do you miss it there?
no subject
We can go sometime.
no subject
I'd like to go, I've seen it plenty in the movies. And maybe in real life but I don't... actually remember it. I remember seeing I should remember it but--
Hold on hopping onto the next route
There's a lot to see there.
no subject
Do you still like it here?
Yeah
and it's more than just New York or LA
cities are nice but there's other things too.
no subject
It's home to me.
I'd like it if it felt like home to you, too.
Or if we found somewhere that did.
I know there's Texas. And cowboys.
no subject

[Layla and him were living in London too but... he doesn't want to bring that up right now.]
That's where you'd wanna go first?
