"I have Lord of The Rings extended version on my laptop," Quentin offers, because 1) it's the best one, and 2) it's something else. It's not thinking about Alice, who's lovely and complicated and she wants things. She needed him to help her and Quentin could fall in love with her for that alone.
It's not thinking about Julia, and about how he's always going to be halfway in love with her because she never needs him, but wants him around anyway. Eliot, with his clever hands and his easy smiles. Who helps Quentin on a near-daily basis and most of the time Quentin feels like he could fall in love with that too. Like the inside of his head is just brimming with feelings, and it's a lot and too much all at once.
There's fucking magic in the world and Quentin still spends his time contemplating the meaning of his own existence and angsting about stupid things like how kissing Alice would feel, with her glasses digging in to the bridge of his nose. About the thin skin on Eliot's wrist, and if Eliot would start hating him if Quentin sucked on his fingers.
Stupid shit.
"I just need to get out of my head for a while. I can do it alone, but it's-- yeah, I get it if you don't want to spend the next three hours in my bed. It's fine."
