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.
... I think it'd probably be old hat for him. Besides, I don't... I don't want to push it. I'm happy just being around, occasionally. Sometimes the best thing you can do is go unnoticed.

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.

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.

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??

Would suck. Imagine. Like those flatmate horror stories but worse.
They are boring but they're also

Fitted?

[isn't it always his fault somehow?]
Yeah, I like them that way
Not a fan?
no subject
At least I know if it's a real bad night I've got company.
Feels too exposed.
no subject
I kinda like when we talk it out until one of us passes out.
it's not like we're naked, buddy...
no subject
It feels like it. Tits out and all.
no subject
[meanwhile, the second half of this conversation is making him laugh]
maybe we have nice tits that should be shown off
someone out there would appreciate them
no subject
Wh
You can show them off all you like.
I don't like it when people look at me
