Ours have passed, his is coming up, and why do we even need an excuse anyway?

[nonstopnarcissist]

Fair point. Negotiate for the right to record, I'll want to revisit this.

[sinistral]

If I give him puppy eyes, I might be able to get him to agree to being in the middle. If you're interested.

[nonstopnarcissist]

A little. Don't actually pressure him, though. Offer.

[sinistral]

He's still my best friend Tony. I'm not going to pressure him. But I haven't missed the way he looks at you sometimes.

[nonstopnarcissist]

...how does he look at me? Because I haven't noticed anything.

[sinistral]

Curiosity and a little bit of longing. It's subtle though, he's masking it better than he ever did when we were younger. Nat's influence, if I had to guess.

[nonstopnarcissist]

Longing? For...


Huh. I never thought I was his type.

[sinistral]

Sassy, flirty brunet who doesn't put up with his shit?

[nonstopnarcissist]

...okay, fair point. How did I not see this sooner?

[sinistral]

Did you WANT to see this?

[nonstopnarcissist]

NNnnno? No.

[sinistral]

Then that's probably why.

[nonstopnarcissist]

Now I'm going to have a hard time not noticing.

[sinistral]

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.

[nonstopnarcissist]

Is it-


We're solid, you know we're solid, right? It's a fascinating new variable in the overall Steve Equation but-

I'm nowhere near done puzzling you out.

[sinistral]

I know. That's not what I meant.

I don't mind adding him in now and then. I'd like it. But I don't want things between you two to get awkward because of it. I know there's still tension there, even though you've worked most of it out.

[nonstopnarcissist]

A good fuck might shake loose whatever baggage we haven't addressed yet.

So help me: if he calls me howard I'm kicking him out of bed.

[sinistral]

It might, honestly.

If I don't beat you to it, you mean. I don't think he'd make that mistake though; you're too different.

[nonstopnarcissist]

That is not what I usually hear RE Me and dear old dad.

[sinistral]

Granted I know you better than I knew him, but it's the truth.

[nonstopnarcissist]

If it gets weird we're quitting. If it's- if we do this.
I like having a sure thing with you more than the thrill of both of you.

[sinistral]

Promise. No matter what.

As do I. Does it bother you that I'd even want this?

[nonstopnarcissist]

Bother me? No. I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet. You two have the love story of the literal century.

[sinistral]

It's complicated. We have our own stuff to work through. Are working through. But having you both for a night? I'd want that, want to know what it's like. I want to be buried in both of you.
