[notrosecolored]

That's good. Who is it with?

[overconfidently]

steve. he's a dominant now. i don't know how. guess he got his wish.

[notrosecolored]

[ There is a few minutes of delay before he replies, while he slams up every mental shield he has - the 'keep Phoenix out' level of layers one - because he wants no one (Jean or Nate) near his immediate, intense, rage and panic.

He doesn't so much talk himself down as he shoves all those emotions in a box, get nauseated, have the pain behind his eyes spike to something that would make someone without chronic nasty headaches throw up, faint, or both, and generally has a god awful emotional response.

Then, he replies. ]

Okay. I didn't even know that was possible.

[overconfidently]

me either. i know he asked about people switching from one to the other that one time. can't say for sure if that's what did it or not. some higher up saw and changed it. i don't know. sort of weird to call it coincidence is all but i guess he got what he wanted.

[notrosecolored]

He tends to be lucky that way.

[overconfidently]

i'm going to try living with him. see how it goes. the apartments in the up are nicer than what i have in the down. i'd be closer too.

( if that matters to scott and all. )

[notrosecolored]

I don't lock my door or windows anymore and I don't plan on going anywhere for a couple of months.

[ It matters. ]

[overconfidently]

i know you have issues with the one you know. i know he's done things that have hurt you. i'm not asking you to forgive that one. but this one isn't him. he hasn't done those things and he's my friend and i don't want to end up paired up with someone i don't like. i was already dreading finding someone. this helps me.

[notrosecolored]

I don't hate him and I sent him a teddybear.

[overconfidently]

are you trying to sleep with him?

[notrosecolored]

No.

[overconfidently]

then why the teddybear?

[notrosecolored]

Because I thought it was funny. I also got him a bottle of alcohol.

[overconfidently]

oh, right. i forgot you had a sense of humor.

[notrosecolored]

I get that a lot.

[overconfidently]

you know i could tell his brain to stop breathing, right? you don't have to worry about me getting taken advantage of or anything ok?

[notrosecolored]

I know.

[overconfidently]

ok. thanks for not losing your shit.

( lol. )

[notrosecolored]

You're an adult. I'm just glad you told me.

[overconfidently]

( oh. )

yeah. of course.

what did you mean about being here for a few more months?

[notrosecolored]

I'm going to look to buy property in the down, I think. I already ran the idea past wade.

[overconfidently]

why the down?

[notrosecolored]

It's cheaper.

[overconfidently]

so you and wade will be moving to some place in the down then?
