Maybe it's not a big deal.

[ Neither is the murder part, but she can and will absolve him for a lot of things. ]

[ That's because she is and always has been certifiably insane. But that's kind of what he likes about her, even now. ]

Well it's gotta be something, so if you've got any ideas, I'm all ears.

Is it the long hair?

[dysmorphics]

I never imagined that look on you, but I actually kinda dig it.

You gotta talk to people if you wanna take them out on a date, Buck. That's how it works, remember?

[ It's not that she's making light of their conversation, but it's easier to stick to their usual banter than admit that she's been in love with him since they were kids and that nothing he's done has changed that. ]

[bustincaps]

Yeah? Guess I'm keeping it then.

I'm not so good at talking to people anymore, Steph. I don't know what to say half the time, and the other half I'm saying something stupid.

[ He knows that - that she's not taking his problem lightly. He has no idea that she's in love with him too. That's something he could never imagine. He wouldn't deserve her, not in a million years. If only he'd made a move back when he knew how... ]

[dysmorphics]

Actually... yeah, me too. Plus people our age just don't have a lot of prospects in general. I tried one of those dating apps once and men these days apparently think 30 is too old.

Can't fix the stupid though. But I can hold on to it for you for a while. So who's the mystery gal? I can put in a good word for you, if you like.

[ She never said anything before because she thought he deserved better, and that he might feel obliged to spare her feelings on account of being best friends. ]
