i doubt either of us could dissuade the big guy from whatever he is planning
buuuutt i could spirit you away to my place or some dark corner of the underground where people dont ask for names
we can drink and smoke and mess around until thoughts become a thing of the past and there is no such thing as a birthday

we can even bring lycaon along so long as he behaves

[myriadeclipse]

[ That was actually tempting. He has to think about that for a few minutes before he can give an answer. ]

I also doubt I could dissuade him. He knows my birth is nothing to celebrate.

I will go along with his ridiculous plan.
Not because I want it. I very clearly do not.
If I don't trust him, there was no point in trying to make peace with him.

But I would appreciate it if this was the plan for afterwards.

[mauks]

[ it's a sentiment that Molly can understand, that Molly wholeheartedly shares. he has little love for his own date of birth, after all. ]

i doubt hes planning anything big he knows exactly what he did by unveiling this secret
and it sounds like hes planning something small
he asked me to join him and lia for the get together

i promise you itll be the plan for after
oh and one secret unfairly divulged deserves one in return

my birthday is november 4th do whatever you want with that

[myriadeclipse]

That's not very far.

[ He didn't doubt that Molly shared a similar sentiment to his own. If he did so something for it, it would be small. Understated. Private. ]

That bastard. I knew it was a mistake to say your names in passing. I should have listened to my intuition.

[mauks]

little more than a blink away

[ lady time is a cruel mistress, always marching forward even when you wish her to stay still. ]

he is a devious one ill give him that
makes sense given his former thief status

[myriadeclipse]

He hides it well. TOO well.
I suppose that is the point and exactly what we were taught, but he's so annoying.

That holier than thou act, and then he does devious things like this.
I'm going to shave his ears.

[mauks]

is it annoying or do you find kinda hot that hes still a bit of a bastard??

[myriadeclipse]

[ That question is just plain rude. ]

It's better than finding he became a 'good person', yes.
Not that I think he could.
I think he enjoys being a bastard.

[mauks]

[ don't you dare dodge answering, that isn't allowed. ]

youre probably right
and i think you enjoy him being a bastard

[myriadeclipse]

... You want me to say it, don't you?

[mauks]

i desperately want to hear you say it
but ill settle for text this time

[myriadeclipse]

Fine. I enjoy him being a bastard.

[mauks]

[ oh, how widely he grins right now. ]

i knew it


hes definitely coming along then
you deserve your two favorite people at your beck and call all night
maybe even longer

[myriadeclipse]

You don't have to be so smug.

He's much hotter when he's not trying to be so put together, okay?

[ Now he can put it behind him. ]

[mauks]

oh yes i do
a victory like this needs to be savoured love

then we will have to pull him from that put together shell of his wont we
only fair after spilling the beans and all that

[myriadeclipse]

His birthday is in October, but I doubt there will be any worry about him getting attention. His boss will probably make a big deal about it, and he can have a grand time that way.

You shouldn't underestimate him. He'll poke at your boarders, too.

[mauks]

he is already a hit with the rest of the network
casual charm like that is a dangerous thing

[ Molly laughs, glancing at the secondary chat window he has open with the man in question. ]

ugh he already has
he thanked me for being there for you and i
lets just say he found a crack in my walls and they came crumbling down before i could do anything

[myriadeclipse]

The worst part is he either doesn't realize it
or plays dumb until he has you in his clutches like a dog with a toy.

If there's already cracks, it's too late.
I was a fool of a teenager and carefully instructed him in many things
this was not particularly one of them
he just learned it from watching me

[mauks]

i dont know whats worse that he could be oblivious about it all
or that hes that cunning

oh
oh so its youre fault he dismantled me so quickly??
hugo you created a monster
im screwed not in the way id like but im screwed
my undying affection for you has doomed me

[myriadeclipse]

It is not my fault he learns fast

If he's decided it's worth it to reach beyond your limits, let him down as you please
You need not hang on to niceties just because I speak about him.
He's a big wolf. Tell him he smells like wet dog.

[mauks]

its entirely your fault

fear not i wouldnt entertain any of it if i wasnt enjoying myself
im painfully honest you know that

[myriadeclipse]

He learned Japanese. I don't even know Japanese.

You? honest?

... you let his charms get to you.

you're lost to me.

[mauks]

neither do i!!

im painfully honest with you
its a different story with everyone else
besides you cant blame me if i did let them get to me

you of all people should understand

[myriadeclipse]

It's not the same and you know it.

I do understand
which is why I know we aren't even being honest with ourselves
much less each other

[ That is why that honesty exists, but could it truly be called 'honesty' when they're running from their problems? ]

What I'm trying to say is

[ It takes another pause because he really is trying to figure out how to put this. Caring about people is so much work sometimes. ]

I'm not trying to really say anything.
you know how to take care of yourself.

[ Never mind. Words seem to fail even him. ]

[mauks]

[ Molly sits with that for a moment, then a second, exhaling as he drags a hand down his face. sometimes he hates how well Hugo knows him, how easy it is to call him (and by extension Hugo himself) on his bullshit.

he's right, painfully right. ]

i know love i know
dont force it
