You don't believe me

could be a she. because it's not for sex

[kobes]

If it was a casual chat between friends, you'd a) tell me who and b) not kick me out cruelly to sleep in the library.

[Now he's being a heinous brat, he is fully in Quentin’s room eating all his snacks.]

[holyposition]

youre texting me from quentins lap right now

[ do you really want to have a brat-off, koby?? ]

[kobes]

That's very presumptuous of you, Mr. Laughlin.



Maybe he's in MY lap.

[holyposition]

he'd squish you

[kobes]

I'm hardier than I look. And anyway, you're deflecting.

I don't mind if you have someone over, even if it is for sex. I don't do the laundry.

[holyposition]

drank too much I'd just lay there no sex

[kobes]

Ahhhhhh, I see. That's probably for the best, it'd make you seasick.

But still, you want privacy. Hm. Very interesting.

[holyposition]

so? do you want me in all your conversations??

[kobes]

Maybe. I value your input in most situations, Tim.

[holyposition]

fine it's Hawk.

🤬🤬🤬🤬

ifnindont check in in 45 minutes I've been seduced by a demon and you'll have to save me

[kobes]

Whattttt really Hawk I'm completely stunned and blindsided by this fact.

45 minutes, on the dot. Unless I'm busy. 😊

[holyposition]

I could meet someone else you know

don't be busy I need help im serious

[kobes]

You could. But you wouldn't care if I eavesdropped on you, then.

Tim, if you truly needed me not all the pirates in all the seas in all the world would stop me. But I'm also extremely comfortable right now, so please let me know if it's a true emergency in 43 minutes.

[holyposition]

You're the best if you were here I'd kiss you

talk later

[kobes]

If I was there, you'd push me out of the room, Tim.

[42.5 minute later:] All good?

[holyposition]

No I'd go find my own

OK here's here later

[ later... ]

👍good

[kobes]

[Pfft. He almost teases more, but -- well. He's distracted too.

So, instead, later:] 👀 he's still there?

[holyposition]

[ He's gonna fall asleep. So later for Tim really is the next morning, ]

He is. Sorry. We'll be out in an hour, tops.

[kobes]

[Bemused, awake but somehow not out of bed:]

Don't be silly. You don't have to rush. I haven't even made it to the gym yet today.

There's more of those headache pills in the bathroom, if you're hungover.

[holyposition]

I do. You should have stopped me.

[kobes]

Ah.

Unlike some people, I'm not going to decide I know better than you, Tim. You get to make your own choices. I'm not going to drag Hawk out of there unless you ask me to.

ARE you asking me to?

[holyposition]

I understand your point. So consider this permission in advance to stop me from doing something stupid next time I'm drunk.

You don't need to now. We're headed down for breakfast soon.

[kobes]

How stupid is stupid?

Well, you didn't kick him out. Is it just
Seeing him again? That's hard?

[holyposition]

Meeting with Hawk is stupid!

Being around him is hard. He says he misses me, but he can't be with me right now. He's unreliable, because he always has a reaaon to leave. He doesn't even want me as a partner, he wants me as a ward. I need to move on, not spend the night with him.
