It's cute, the interest you've taken in me. We both know it won't last long, though. The best things never do.

But hey, you have your fun and I'll have mine. I do work well under time constraints.

[ostroffcenter]

Another fleeting fake friendship Damien?

[buzzkilling]

I prefer the term 'partnership'. They tend to last longer.

You sound awfully bitter, Eric.

[ostroffcenter]

Don't flatter yourself Damien.

[ Of course he's a little bitter. He thought he might actually be liked again. After Elliot...well it sucked.]

[buzzkilling]

What we had was fun. Brief, but fun. [ so he feels a little bad about it. only a little, though. ] I was a good distraction, though.

[ostroffcenter]

It was just another ploy of yours. And I actually thought you were interested in me. Which...was not fun. [ Well, at least it's a little bad. That's something.] Well I can't deny that.

[buzzkilling]

If it's any consolation, I stuck around longer than I normally would. [ a quirk of his lips. ] Glad we're on the same page.

[ostroffcenter]

So I'm meant to take it as a compliment? [ There's a roll of his eyes at that. Though the others choice in tight pants was always a decent distraction] Just about this.

[buzzkilling]

You can take it however you want. [ he almost laughs. instead, his smile just widens. ] And nothing else?

[ostroffcenter]

You know Serena still hates you. [ Eric is just going to arch an eyebrow at that smile.] ...What else would be on the same page about?

[buzzkilling]

I'm pretty sure you do, too. [ a shrug. ] It's not important.

[ostroffcenter]

I have feelings about you, not good ones. [ Which is the polite way of telling you. Yes. Yes indeed.] Oh, now I really want to hear it.

[buzzkilling]

I figured. [ at least there's consistency. he can work with that. ] You may want to, but you don't need to, van der Woodsen.

[ostroffcenter]

Smarter then you look. [ His eyebrow goes up at that.] So what? Just going to leave me in the dark?

[buzzkilling]

I'm just full of surprises. [ and he's back to smiling. ] Isn't that par for the course?

[ostroffcenter]

Well, I'd have to agree with you there. [ They were'nt always good surprises.] It seems to be, yes.

[buzzkilling]

It keeps life interesting. [ which is... his answer to both of those, really. ]

[ostroffcenter]

Well your life does seem to be one train wreck after another. With a few broken hearts along the way.

[buzzkilling]

Did I really break your heart, Eric? [ because he's just going to ignore that first part. ]

[ostroffcenter]

What do you think? [ Of course he'd ignore the first part. THE TRUTH HURTS.]

[buzzkilling]

That I was a distraction from Elliot and later from Jonathan. [ SURE DOES. but it he pretends it isn't true... ] He was chomping at the bit to be with you again.

[ostroffcenter]

[ Well he's not wrong about that.] You might have been, does'nt mean I did'nt like you. Trust me, I was about to forget you before you asked me to hang out. And what Jonathon did is hardly the point here..

[buzzkilling]

But you didn't. Which was surprising, honestly, considering how many warnings you had.

[ostroffcenter]

Perhaps it was just your winning smile? [ Or that he really felt alone at the time. ]

[buzzkilling]

It's always the smile. The morning coffee runs might have played a part, too. [ because how many people would damien really go get coffee for? ]

[ostroffcenter]

Does being so cocky ever get tiring? The coffee might have helped. [ It had been nice, actually being noticed. And he did love coffee.]
