what if it's you?

you didn't tell me you missed me until now.

[loosestrifes]

That's not fair. I told you I liked you. I tell you you look nice. I say plenty unprompted.




Did I do something, really?

( He thinks that maybe he's worrying too much over this, but he also can't stop. )

[skinstitch]

oh, we're back to that word.

you didn't do a thing.

[loosestrifes]

I could use a different word. Or do you prefer me to not say either?

You're not telling me what you're thinking.

[skinstitch]

i prefer you just be honest, whatever that is.

i'm thinking that something's wrong. what's wrong? you're unhappy.

[loosestrifes]

Sorry. I'm a bit messier than usual lately.

I guess I'm just jealous.

[skinstitch]

jealous of what?

[loosestrifes]

( he gets annoyed again, at first, because from his side of things it must be obvious. he must know. )

Your little boyfriend or whatever

[skinstitch]

my what.

[loosestrifes]

Did I stutter?

[skinstitch]

he's never used that word. no one has. so you're pissed at me for something that isn't real?

[loosestrifes]

First of all, I'm not mad at you. I didn't say I was, right?

Second of all, he didn't use the word either, but he certainly made it sound that way. I'm "allowed" to spend time with you, though, so I suppose I should ignore all of his comments on it and be happy.

You knew who I meant even without him ever saying as much to you?

[skinstitch]

you only get upset about him.

[loosestrifes]

Well he keeps going on about you choosing him over me, you know. Can't I be upset over that?

[skinstitch]

i don't even know what to do with that.

[loosestrifes]

I thought you were. Together, I mean. Sorry.

But you're not, then?

[skinstitch]

i'm alone.

[loosestrifes]

Is that what you want to be?

[skinstitch]

you should know what i want to be, esikko.

[loosestrifes]

I do. I wanted to see if you'd say it.

You can talk to me about it all. Or anything. You know.

[skinstitch]

say what?

maybe you should just kill me. said you wanted to kill someone about it all, right? might as well be me.

[loosestrifes]

You're the last person I want to kill. Why? Why would you run away? What would it help?

[skinstitch]

run away from what? i'd just come back in this hellhole.

[loosestrifes]

There has to be a reason to suggest it. When I think of the same, I'm running away in some way, even when I know I'll come back in the end.

Tell me more? Please.

[skinstitch]

about what? i'm just trying to make you happy.
