Aw, someone misses his first love.

[legaltoughguy]

[Cue the glass of scotch.]

Thank you for reminding me that Damien was a crazy, self-centered, itinerant, messy pain in the ass...and that I loved him like I didn't think I could love anybody. I only hope wherever he is, he's happy.

Now let's not talk about him ever again.

[And down goes the scotch.]

Comments

[fuckmes]

Sorry, well still sorry. I'm probably the last face you want to see though.

[legaltoughguy]

It's not your fault. [Andrew shakes his head. He's getting to that place we call 'acceptance'.] How...how have you been? I haven't seen you either. Though my mun sort of kicked me in the ass for a little while.

[fuckmes]

I've been okay. Pretty much the same old same old.

[legaltoughguy]

Which part, the being shot at or the being naked? [See. He can be funny. He also might be a little drunk as he pats the space beside him.]

[fuckmes]

A bit of both. [Chuckles and sits down.]

[legaltoughguy]

I figured as much. He's probably balls deep in some hooker half a world away right now. [Chuckles and runs a hand through his hair.] But I'd be lying if I said I didn't still love him. I have no idea what that makes me. Either a fool or a masochist?

[fuckmes]

A little bit of both maybe? Aren't we all though?

[legaltoughguy]

Probably.

In happier news, your partner and my sister are shacking up. [He's finally approving of that, mostly because he loves Tess and he likes Michael and wants them both happy so why not allow them to be happy together. As long as he does not have to think about Michael having sex with his sister.]

[fuckmes]

Really? Well, fuck me.

[legaltoughguy]

Yep. My sister -- without consulting me, I might add -- decided to fly to London and move in with Michael. So that happened. At least I know my sister's with a good man.

[Because Michael really was the best guy he could think of. But he was still miffed that Tessanne hadn't told him (because she knew he would have stopped her).]

And don't talk to me about fucking, I have had none of that in ages.

[fuckmes]

Shit neither have I. Mun has kept me in a dry spell.

[legaltoughguy]

[Staring. It is almost hard to fathom that.]

...Wow.

You wanna come over, or something?

[fuckmes]

I'd like that.

[legaltoughguy]

I'll have my mun set something up. Since she sent me on this trip down nostalgia lane anyway.

We can discuss my sister running off with the one guy I told her she was not allowed to date.

[fuckmes]

I'll play stand in? [Teases.]

Well, least it was Michael and not a me right?

[legaltoughguy]

Oh my god I would never let you bang my sister.

[It comes out surprisingly emphatically. Also, here.]

[fuckmes]

Why not? [So teasing now Andrew.]

[legaltoughguy]

Because you're you. She needs someone sweet, and gentle, and who hasn't slept with half the country.

[fuckmes]

So, Michael then? [Chuckles at that.]

[legaltoughguy]

Yeah. As uncomfortable as it makes me, he's good for her. Though I'm not sure how I feel about us being apart. We've never been apart before.

[Damien might find that odd since Andrew is past 40, but there's a story there.]
