expendable but so cute.

Could you please stop reading those fics where I'm either dead or a passing plot device that winds up a mess like a bug on a windshield? It's getting more than morbid now, thanks. Why am I always leaving behind a mourning husband, anyway? Maybe I'll marry a girl! Shut up.

... Oh my God, no. I do not want a cup of frosted cocoa. I'm onto you, wise guy.

So I bringing drama to your life and I can't even know what it is so I can make it better? Should I leave now or what?

[undergrad]

Jack, you can't make me feel better on this, trust me. [ Chuckling. ] Don't you dare leave.

[2cool4guardian]

You can't know that if you don't see me try. You're making fail at being the Guardian of Fun.

[He doesn't say anything about the rest, though. If he's really making Jamie's life dramatic, then Jack'll take himself out of the equation. Difficult and painful as hell, but the idea of hurting the boy is worse.]

[undergrad]

[ Just going to give him a long, mildly exhausted look. Fine, fine. Don't get all ... that. ]

I told one of you how I actually feel and got turned down, it's no big deal.

1/? I'm sorry, you broke him

[2cool4guardian]

How you actually feel...?

[Turned down? Why would Jack turned down Jamie's...]

[2cool4guardian]

[....oh.

OH.







Well, shit.]

[2cool4guardian]

[How can this be happening to him? He's supposed to protect Jamie, not... not that. Besides, his own feelings on the matter don't matter - it's not something he can give to a human.]

Done!

[2cool4guardian]

Look, I... I'm sorry. I don't want to make you unhappy, that's like, the worst thing in the world in my book. But you have to understand, Jamie, for me? Right now, in my time? You're still a kid. This is just too... [He sighs. He doesn't know what to say anymore.]

[undergrad]

Jack, please stop.

[ You know when Baby Tooth watched as Jack tripped out over his memories? That's kind of how Jamie feels as he watches his friend have a mini freakout. ]

It's fine, okay? We're all adults here — right now, anyway.

[ Honestly, dude, what did you think he was going to do; break the metaphorical bff bracelet? ]

[2cool4guardian]

[DON'T MAKE FUN OF HIS MENTAL TRIPS. They're a Big Deal, okay.]

You were talking about drama. I don't want drama in your life, and I don't want to be the cause even less. It's like being in one of those telenovelas my mun's mother watches.

[There, a joke. That makes things a bit better, right?]

[undergrad]

[ It's hard not to laugh. ]

You are so ridiculous sometimes, you know that?

[2cool4guardian]

And you laugh at my expense. Hope you're proud of yourself.

[Because Jack certainly is!]

[undergrad]

If I didn't, you wouldn't either.

[ Pft, nudges. ]

[2cool4guardian]

And who says I am?

[Have some teasing.]

[undergrad]

Oh, I see. So now you're Mr. Serious?

[2cool4guardian]

[Actually he's Mister Tsundere. Ask Bunny how to deal with that side of Jack, Jamie.]

Excuse you, I could totally be serious if I wanted to.

[AHAHAHAHAHA... haha... ha...]

[undergrad]

[ Try being anything but dere with Jamie, he dares you. ]

Go on then. Impress me.

[2cool4guardian]

[Don't challenge him, those never end up well. Again: just ask Bunny.]

Well... [Give him a moment, this is hard.] I have a job in the ship now.

[Never mind he actually didn't want to do anything with it at first and everything started by accident. DETAILS.]

[undergrad]

A job. What do you do?

[ Trying to take this super seriously, yes. See, he's helpful. ]

[2cool4guardian]

Day-care sitter. [He grins.] I have my own army of alien children now.

[Super serious, yup.]

[undergrad]

... Wow, Jack. I'm not even surprised.

[ Laughing. ]

[2cool4guardian]

And you haven't met them! I'm training them for Saint Patrick's. That ship is going to get pinched like it's never been pinched before.

[WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA AGAIN]

[undergrad]

Please try not to destroy everything you throw a snowball at.

[2cool4guardian]

Hey, they deserve it. Jamie, they tried to make me do paperwork! [TRAGEDY]

[undergrad]

They've practically got you in chains, poor guy.
