Well, at least you were aware enough not to drive.
Could've walked, though. It's not that far.

[ yyyyy

and who even knows. they're gonna have to Talk About It. ]

[asphalts]

i'm not a total idiot.

[ dying's a boring side effect. ]

maybe i will, next time. you gonna let me in if i do?

[ too bad neither of them is very good at talking about things. ]

[know]

[ he doesn't say it, but they both know he's thinking that yes he is. ]

Have I ever not?

[asphalts]

[ give him a little credit, parrish. ]

first time for everything.

1/2

[know]

[ no. ]

Right. Because I'd honestly turn you away.

[know]

When you're like that, I mean.

[ safe. wasn't too awkward, was it? ]

[asphalts]

[ yeah. totally smooth. ]

so you'd turn me away if i were sober?

[know]

[ he tries. ]

Only if you were acting like a dick.

[asphalts]

[ try harder. ]

i can't help the way i am.

[know]

[ never gonna happen. he's leaving shit open for ronan to take and run with!!! ]

I know that. Not asking you to be any different.

[asphalts]

[ well he should just come out and say what he means then!!! ]

unless i don't want a door slammed in my face.

[know]

[ SO SHOULD RONAN. ]

We both know I'd still let you in.
Eventually.

[asphalts]

[ WHATEVER. he's already said it in every way short of actually saying it. ]

we both know i'm not the begging type.

[know]

[ be more clear!!! ]

Who said anything about begging?

[asphalts]

[ what could be clearer than hand lotion and a mixed tape? ]

well i'm sure as hell not going to sit outside your door in silence while i wait for you to let me in.

hate phone tagging so much omg

[know]

[ the words. ]

Just lay on the stairs, right?

and it hates you apparently

[asphalts]

[ words aren't his strong suit. ]

look. i probably wouldn't do that if i were sober.

cries about it

[know]

[ then action!!! ]

Probably??

there there

[asphalts]

[ see: the hand lotion and mixed tape!!! ]

did i fucking stutter?

[know]

[ mouth on mouth action. ]

Maybe. Hard to tell that kind of thing through text.

[asphalts]

[ he doesn't want to get slapped.

instead of a text response, adam's phone will light up with an incoming call from ronan lynch. and, if adam picks up, the first thing he'll hear from ronan is: ]

You should know I don't stutter.

[know]

[ he won't get slapped. probably.

nah he doesn't pick up. bye felicia. ]

[know]

[ jk. he does after like the fourth ring. he ain't desperate. ]

Maybe you developed one from the last time I saw you.

[asphalts]

[ and he wonders why ronan doesn't tell him how he really feels. god. ]

What do you think?

[know]

[ whatever. he's trying to play it cool, okay. ]

I think you're getting close to being pointlessly aggressive and I'm trying to not have that happen.
