Well, it's like going shopping. You don't think you're gonna buy anything 'cause you're totally saving up for this really cute purse, but then you see this awesome scarf and it's like you have to have it. So you buy it even though you probably shouldn't have.
Oh. Uh. Then it's like... Oh! It's kind of like when you got all weird and agressive. I doubt you really thought about it, and even though you went too far with all the fights, it was kinda fun to see you act like that.
[This is the best she can do, Chuck. Don't expect any better.]
Well, it was kinda sweet when you defended me from that creep. And I liked the self-confidence. But, I think I like you better the way you are, now. Alpha male!Chuck can be really scary.
I just did something dumb is all. But not gonna happen again! I swear! [More nervous laughter plus rubbing at the back of his neck. Oh God, shoot him now.]
[She thinks he's normal? Oh man, did he screw up...]
Yeah, and I'm always the one who's scared and screaming. The booster suppressed fear. I thought it could make me a better member of the team if I wasn't constantly scared of everything.
Yeah, the screaming's kinda lame, but it's part of you. Besides, what do you expect when Mike drives like he's trying to kill you? I'd be screaming all the time, too.
[Or just clinging to Chuck. Either way.]
But, if it really bugs you so much, maybe you could try just holding it in.
You can't be serious, Mikey! I mean, isn't there supposed to be some kind of adjustment period or something?! Y'know, mun and muse getting to know each other better before they go traipsing off to some game together?
I dunno! She randomly decided to pull me out of her headspace to do memes and stuff. The next thing I know, she's working on an application! An application, Mike! And we've only been around each other for maybe a week!
Hey, how about if she took you out for a spin with me in a meme or something? I'm just cooling my heels until mine figures out where she wants to send me. And if it makes you two feel more solid...
Well, she has me in three memes so far. There's the dark AU one, the "it's really hot out" one, and the Sentinel one. She's been trying to avoid ones that put me into particularly creepy situations at least.
The other muses in her headspace are a lot cooler than I am. I just don't get why she'd want me there.
I don't know, Mike. I mean, all of her other muses have all sorts of cool powers and abilities, and I'm just me. I think she should've picked you up instead.
Just how out of hand that meme tag got. Guess the writing bug bit.
There's reasons to like people besides how many bad guys they can take down hand-to-hand, Chuckles. If she wanted to be playing me, she'd be playing me. Pretty obvious she likes you, or she wouldn't have you around.
And as your best friend, I'm telling you to quit worrying about this! You are totally worth playing. If all the other guys she's got are awesome, it figures you are too. Only logical, bud.

I'm trying to do that. Just trying to get over my fears. I'll get there eventually. Maybe.

You'll get there. I totes know you will. Even if it takes a long, long, long time. Like, so long we all get super nasty wrinkles.
