Her brother's bitching woke her up.

[tessanne]

Wait, wait...

Andrew did WHAT?!


...No, you know, I don't want to be here if Will isn't here. And I don't think Andrew's new friends would like me anyway. Just like, leave me alone. I've got work to do, and an exam next week, and a baby I'm trying for...I don't need any drama. Didn't you have that other girl up here that hangs out with Michael Cutter? Go play with her.

Do I want to know?

[tessanne]

About my brother's sex life?

[havebadtiming]

Yeah, that would be a no.

Happy for him though, assuming he's met someone.

[tessanne]

Ones, Will. Plural.

[havebadtiming]

Ones? Wow. That's great though. He's a good guy and deserves it.

[tessanne]

You don't think that's a bit weird?

[havebadtiming]

Maybe a little but hey who am I judge?

[tessanne]

That your brother-in-law is sleeping with two men? I don't know.

[havebadtiming]

If he's happy then good for him.

[tessanne]

You're always so calm about everything. (Or maybe she's always so stressed.)

[havebadtiming]

Well we want him happy right? You haven't met them yet?

[tessanne]

I haven't, no. I guess we should.

[filthymouth]

Uh-huh.. So you're little Tess I've been hearing so much about.

[tessanne]

You must be my brother's...other half. Other third? Whatever. Hi.

[filthymouth]

Ooh, I like you already. And yeah, third sounds about right. I'm sensing that's going to be a problem for you.

[tessanne]

You have to admit that's not what anyone expects to hear from their big brother.

[filthymouth]

It's 2014, sweety, you don't know what to expect anymore.

[tessanne]

[Tersely.] What the hell is that supposed to mean?

[filthymouth]

It means the definition of normal isn't quite the same anymore. The world's changing, best you open your eyes up now or else you're bound to be a lot more surprised, later on.

[tessanne]

Or maybe you just realize that some things just aren't normal and there's nothing wrong with that but you can't just drop them on someone and expect them not to be surprised.

[filthymouth]

Fine, we'll go with that. You can be surprised, I'm not saying it's not shock worthy to the average guy or girl- not that you're average. All I'm saying is that this isn't anything new to me as it is for you.

[tessanne]

You and I obviously come from really different backgrounds then. It doesn't matter. I just want him to be happy. He's gotten his ass kicked enough, especially since he came out. It's been worse now.

[filthymouth]

How much worse? I think big bro failed to key me in on that much. He likes to talk a lot about you, actually.

[tessanne]

You mean how I set him up with a friend who basically made him feel horrible about himself, or how he ended up dating two other guys after that he fell in love with who ended up leaving him, and now this? Yeah.

[filthymouth]

... See, I knew about the guy you matched him up with, but.. Alright, I guess I can see why you might be worried. I'm not gonna hurt your brother, neither is Michael, and we're not gonna let anyone else hurt him either. Trust me, your brother's in good hands. Promise.
