[ He said he was going to be very careful but in the end he just jumps into it. ]

You want something more than a hookup?

[duel_wielding]

[Well that is definitely very straight.]

I mean, i would be nice. But life, it is what it is.

[howkickassiam]

North

[duel_wielding]

York.

[howkickassiam]

I'm offering myself to you, you know

[duel_wielding]

York, you're a TERRIBLE wingman.

[howkickassiam]

...

Are you pretending not to understand for reasons I don't get, or do you actually not understand

[duel_wielding]

I really don't get what you're getting at, York.

[howkickassiam]

Look, you know, it's okay, never mind

Have a good morning

Hope you're not too hungover

[duel_wielding]

You know I'm not letting this go.

[howkickassiam]

You're not?

Why?

[duel_wielding]

Because we work together. Because I need to know.

[howkickassiam]

Look, you were talking about how the grunts don't make for good hookups because we're considered at a higher level

Why don't two guys that are at that high level hook up instead

[duel_wielding]

[Except he doesn't want a hookup with York.]

York, that's a whole other can of worms.

[howkickassiam]

Yeah, and the worms are flopping all over the place now

[duel_wielding]

Fine. Cards on the table. I can't hookup with you. It would be complicated for us both. And it's not team cohesion or anything.

[howkickassiam]

[ There's a long period of time before York answers again. ]

Yeah, I mean. Yeah. That's why we never did before

[duel_wielding]

That and the Carolina elephant in the room.

[howkickassiam]

It's fine, man, I understand

I just thought

[ York carelessly hits the send button while trying to backspace that last half a sentence. ]

[duel_wielding]

What did you think?

Is it just me or is this awkward to talk about over the phone?

[howkickassiam]

I just thought I knew how to hit backspace hahaha

No, North, I don't think I could talk about this out loud rn

[duel_wielding]

York, you know we need to talk about this now that it's in the air, right?

[howkickassiam]

Sure. Yeah.

I'm just

I thought we were closer than we apparently are is all

[duel_wielding]

Will you just come to my room already?

[howkickassiam]

[ York doesn't reply, just shows up in North's room a couple of minutes later. He never needs the lock code or permission to come in, so this time he slips in the room on his own just like usual.

But where normally he'd bound in enthusiastically, this time he hangs just inside the doorway with one of his hands in his pockets. He seems to be affecting an air of nonchalance, which of course makes him look ill-at-ease. ]

Hey. Sorry.
