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.]
You should bring some more stuff in. As a matter of fact, I know a dining room table that will soon have available real estate. [ He can't help himself, especially not when it comes to Marc these days. ]
No that's where I'd go last. Hot, dirty, too many guns. I think I would like to go somewhere sunny though.
I guess we know what to do then Try a bunch of stuff and see what sticks Until then you can share my hobbies, yeah? I'm sure you're just dying to stay up all night practicing unilaterals.
[ Not really, but he is going to keep pushing, if Marc likes it or not-- because he needs things other than Steven and stress. ]
Oi!! I don't think I appreciate being perceived so thoroughly!
So long as you handle being sore afterward, my days of waking up like a big bruise are over if I have any say in it. What's so fun about it? Really, not being sarcastic or anything.
Oh. [ He is dying, this is criminal, how is he supposed to respond to something like this? ] Thanks to you, I guess. Never been one for showing it off. Always made me feel nervous. Maybe some part of me always knew it wasn't really mine to show off. Weird that.
It's the release of tension I guess. getting to punch something that isn't trying to kill you. plus, sparring with other boxers is just fun in general. there's no actual danger. it helped keep my mind distracted from bullshit.
Fine, you'll wear a shirt with the bathing suit then one of those Hawaiian shirt travesties you'd probably love. I don't want to make you uncomfortable on this fantasy vacation
Sounds almost nice when you describe it like that. Besides the whole... getting punched bit. Maybe you can find something on Thursdays? I'll sleep in, you can have the body to get tossed around a bit. Win-win.
TRAVESTIES? I really don't feel like I can be judged by a man who has sixty copies of the same grey teeshirt. Your taste in clothes is the same as your taste in cake. Vanilla.
When I find something I want to do then I'll take a day too. Maybe we can have lunch together but I think having a day to yourself might be good. [ It's giving and selfish at the same time, because he wants to get Marc attached to things, hobbies and parts of life, to make him enjoy it more but also to make sure he stays... present. Around. And enjoys it, at least a little. ]
Classics? You're a classic. And people call me ancient.
You don't. We're different, you know. Curling up on the couch after a long day and reading a book or watching a movie with you is really all I need. [ Uh- ] I don't need to be busy all the time.
Practical is not fashionable. Everyone knows that. Even me.
I don't mind downtime too you know. I just get restless sometimes but you help the body relax, which we could both use a lot of the time. I'm glad you're not sick of me yet.
Believe me, I know you get restless. I'm surprised every day I don't wake to you pacing around for something or another. Sick of you? You're the closest person I've got.
We have a closet divider because your shirts draw too much attention and I don't want you mussing up mine.
I'm getting used to it, not so bad when I can just... sleep. I think I'm still trying to struggle awake out of habit, my body our body wandering around like that.
Would suck. Imagine. Like those flatmate horror stories but worse.

We can go sometime.

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
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.]
That's where you'd wanna go first?
no subject

No that's where I'd go last.
Hot, dirty, too many guns.
I think I would like to go somewhere sunny though.
no subject
and I figured you wouldn't want my weapons in the flat.
also i'm clearing the table to EAT on
just to be clear here
[not that he doesn't have at least one gun stashed there just in case...]
You'd probably like California
or maybe some parts of Florida.
my vote is on the west coast though.
no subject
Not-gun-stuff I mean
It's your place now too, but it doesn't look like it.
[ A little hum. ]
We'll have shelves for it.
California sounds nice. Beaches, the place they make movies, sunshine. Lots of museums I've heard.
no subject
this is gonna sound really pathetic but I don't even know what interests I have anymore.
[Hobbies and interests?? who had time when his life was imploding?]
We can go sometime. I'm sure they've got plenty of museums.
Trying to picture you laid out on a beach with your nose in a book and a big sunhat on.

and get back into boxing.
I think I'll leave all the uni-related things to you though lol
Too late, it's already in my head
You've got the white sunscreen on your nose and everything
no subject
Boxing, that'll be a sight.
Do I at least get comically oversized sunglasses to hide my shame?
no subject
It's a great workout. I used to do more of it back in the day for fun.
Why would you be ashamed??
You'd look great
You already look great, you should show it off on the beach.
no subject

You can never go wrong with the classics and I'm sticking to it!
At least we agree on twizzlers
no subject
Classics? You're a classic.
And people call me ancient.
There is that.
no subject
I hope I don't keep you from doing things you like as it is.
We'll agree to disagree
Maybe my fashion sense isn't anything special, but at least I'm practical

Well... good. would suck if we hated each other huh?
My plain t-shirts you were just saying are boring draw too much attention??

our body wandering around like that.
Would suck. Imagine. Like those flatmate horror stories but worse.
They are boring but they're also

Yeah, I like them that way
