I'd be all right with that if you are.

[ Besides, it's not like he won't end up telling her the same ones from his end. ]

[brobeforehos]

I think...I might be.

[icarusalsoflew]

Good, because I'd hate to be complicit with you doing something that you don't want to.

[brobeforehos]

[Hey look - a giggle.] Consensual secret sharing.

[icarusalsoflew]

There's a green joke in there somewhere.

[ You started it. ]

[brobeforehos]

Go ahead. [She needs the laugh.]

[icarusalsoflew]

Now?

[ Laughing a little. ]

I just said it was somewhere.

[ And he is currently failing at Life and Wit right now. You'd know. ]

[brobeforehos]

Are you having trouble finding it?

[icarusalsoflew]

Just a little bit.

[brobeforehos]

Should I draw you a map? Some boys need a map. Instructions.

[icarusalsoflew]

You COULD also be patient with me. I'm usually not like "some boys".

[brobeforehos]

Usually.

[icarusalsoflew]

Which is more than good enough.

[ Back to being 100% Confident.

That's a good thing. ]

[brobeforehos]

According to your polls?

[icarusalsoflew]

If it helps, Josh can vouch for me too.

[brobeforehos]

Impartial judge.

[icarusalsoflew]

Come on, love, let's be realistic: there's no such thing as an impartial judge.

[brobeforehos]

[This would be a very inappropriate moment to appreciate the way that petname sounds in his voice, towards her. Okay.

Laugh it ooooff.]

The point is, you still missed the chance to say the joke.

[icarusalsoflew]

I thought the point was that I'm really lucky to be your friend.

[ Yep. ]

[brobeforehos]

[The tiniest little sound, not quite and aw but aimed in that direction; it's the sound her heart makes when it grows and melts at the same time.]

Likewise. [Pause.] Wait a minute, did you and Josh decide on today to be the day you make me fluster under all this affection?

[icarusalsoflew]

[ Blink. ]

What?

[ There is Genuine Confusion here. ]

[brobeforehos]

It's just that the chat I had with him today ended up on a similar note.

[With this whole 'you are great'. And -- our Mae.]

For the record? [Shyly,] I consider myself lucky to have met you both, and count you among my friends here. I do.

[icarusalsoflew]

I'm really happy to hear that.

[ And grateful. It's good to be certain about these things. ]

[brobeforehos]

[o/////o]

Are you - feeling better? Do you want to keep talking?

[icarusalsoflew]

[ Oh, right -- ]

Yeah. Sorry to keep you up.
