He's not happy about recent drunken escapades

[semiotician]

You made me kiss him back! Do you have any idea how awkward that could get? Do you? Besides, even drunk I would know that his stupid method of shutting me up was a bad idea so it's fucking insulting that you had me sticking my tongue in his mouth, okay?

And just what were you hoping to accomplish with this anyway? I know your brain runs on some sort of fucked up romance novel logic but guess what, this doesn't change anything. One kiss is not going to make him magically realize that he wanted to be in a stable and commited relationship all along, and it's not going to make me any more inclined to deal with his bloody issues. We are not "in denial" or whatever else you've been telling yourself, we just know what works and we were doing a pretty good job of sticking to it until you decided to mess things up.

If this gets weird I am so blaming you.

{Just can't stop laughing. Okay. Just... okay... nope. Can't stop.]

[needsnomirror]

In short: you enjoyed it.

[For someone who has no room to talk whatsoever, she's rather amused.]

And you actually want more.

[semiotician]

[ Well, all you'll get for that is a blank stare. ]

[semiotician]

It was sloppy, drunken kissing in a cab that smelled like death, hardly worth writing home about.

[ Yes, he enjoyed it. ]

And I don't want more.

[needsnomirror]

Oh yes, you absolutely don't. [Wait for it, she's going to illustrate just how much bullshit you're talking:] And I'm straight and pigs can fly.

[And not a word is believed that day, Seb. But, have a cup of coffee for your efforts.]

[semiotician]

I don't! [ Wrapping his hands around that cup, yes. It's kind of comforting in a way. ]

He's a complete trainwreck and I don't need that train crashing into my ass, if you know what I mean.

[robin_denoir]

Damn. I pick the best role models.

[needsnomirror]

[Hey, Athena might be a sort of socially inept wreck, but she's a caring wreck that makes good coffee!]

Not without condoms, at least.

Look, both my partner [look, that came out smoothly!] and I aren't quite what you would call perfectly functional, yet we are making it work.

It takes time and effort, but it can be worth it.

[semiotician]

Just do as I say and not as I do and you should be relatively fine.

[hematovore]

Yeah, you look like the type who thinks too much.

[semiotician]

[ It is good coffee. Just the smell is awesome. ]

Well, you're in love with her, right? And she's in love with you? Contrary to popular opinion that is not actually the case with Jo and me.

[semiotician]

"Thinking too much" is just a made up expression with no basis in actual reality. You can think stupid or incorrect things but that's not thinking too much, you're just thinking shitty thoughts.

[needsnomirror]

Because Ana and I went on our first date and confessed our love to each other before the the food had even arrived.

[Unlimited sarcasm!]

Why don't you go out? Maybe with a little less alcohol involved... See where it leads... safe sex and all...

[hematovore]

Then you've got a lot of those, mate.

[semiotician]

I already know where it'd lead. [ Fiddling uncomfortably with his cup here, he doesn't talk about this much. ]

I figured that out after about a month of living together.

[needsnomirror]

I require details. [Time to get comfortable.]

[robin_denoir]

So, Jo, yeah?

Are you sure he doesn't want to be serious with you?

[semiotician]

Well, way we go out, yeah? That's pretty much bound to end in someone's bed because Jo is sex on legs and I'm not disinterested in that kind of activity. So then we have a situation of being roomies who also have sex, or at least had sex once. I'm not actually the kind of guy that can deal with that without awkwardness, and Jo would still be... well, himself, and I would still be waking up at night with his bed thumping against the wall and it would suck.

[ He takes a sip of his coffee, gathering some courage perhaps. ]

Because I probably would fall for him, you know?

[semiotician]

Yeah. I'm fairly sure he doesn't want to be serious with anyone.

[robin_denoir]

He seemed pretty serious about that guy you talked about?

...oh. Sorry.

[needsnomirror]

I... do.

[And this does put a damper on her enthusiasm.]

Alright, let us face the painful truth - and I know from first hand experience that is equally painful and true - no matter how much you deny it, you did enjoy kissing him.

And you would enjoy doing it again.

You might even think about doing it again. That and basically anything else on the spectrum.

Would not going out actually minimize the chance of falling for him, or would it only delay the inevitable?

[semiotician]

It's okay. No, really, it is. I don't know, maybe he is serious about that guy and in that case good for him and the best of luck.

[semiotician]

There is nothing inevitable about it, I can totally avoid this potential disaster and the first step of doing that is to not go out with him.

[robin_denoir]

How can you be okay with that? If Maria...

I know people that could make that man vanish, you know?

...I'm kidding. Well, about actually doing it. Afraid I really do know people who could.

[needsnomirror]

Since you so gracefully avoided everything that could lead to --

Oh, wait.

Drunken make outs are hardly 'avoiding'.
