She's asking people on dates, so I don't know.

[icarusalsoflew]

...Probably a no, then.

[ Hum. ]

She'll need to talk to him. I mean, he isn't a total asshole, right?

[ He really hopes that Johnny Storm isn't, at any rate. ]

[brobeforehos]

[She thinks about it here, and then sighs; it'd be easier to think otherwise and just key his damn car.]

He's a good guy, I guess. He's just fucked up, and I think she's too proud to let him know it bothered her. So...I could be the villain.

[icarusalsoflew]

You care about your friend. That doesn't make you a villain.

[ Yes maybe he's biased but he has principles, okay. ]

[brobeforehos]

Sweet - but I meant more in the way of, being the event that causes them to talk.

[icarusalsoflew]

Well, if you are, then you are. As things stand, if what you're telling me has any basis, something does have to give on their end.

[brobeforehos]

No kidding.

[icarusalsoflew]

Hey.

[ All sorts of soft and gentle. ]

They'll be all right. Go and have your date with her, do nice things, and give me a head's up if you still feel like keying his car.

[ Sorry he kind of feels nothing for Johnny. ]

[brobeforehos]

Okay. You will always be my go-to hot cop.

[icarusalsoflew]

[ Amused snort. ]

Well, I wouldn't want it any other way.

[brobeforehos]

Were you totally ready to consult me into the perfect crime, though?

[icarusalsoflew]

Yes.

[brobeforehos]

Oh my god, you total gangster.

[icarusalsoflew]

Hunter. There's a difference. [ Then, lightly: ] We're nastier, and definitely a bit more on the sociopathic side.

[brobeforehos]

Yeah, yeah, keep up the dangerous bad boy act.

[icarusalsoflew]

I love you too.

[ ...And there might be just a bit of hesitance there. He's oddly more careful with his words now that you're a Thing. ]

[brobeforehos]

[She still smiles, though she's biting her lower lip to keep it cool and collected and failing.]

I love you too. [Saying it is going to take practice, which is very strange because she's usually not afraid of saying it, or feeling it. But this part is still new.]

[icarusalsoflew]

Want me to pick you up later?

[brobeforehos]

If you want to help me pick which outfit I'm wearing for this date with her.

[icarusalsoflew]

I'd be happy to.

[brobeforehos]

Good. Now you may resume your day.
