[leans in closer into the camera]

Why?

Re: 236

[liveslaughsloves]

—‘cos they’re nervous about it already without making it into a whole thing people are talking about!

[guilty dog expression]

Re: 236

[nymphcompoop]

So you're giving up? For your friend's sake?

Re: 236

[liveslaughsloves]

[SPLUTTERS]

I’m what?!

Re: 236

[nymphcompoop]

Forfeiting. Abandoning the race.

Re: 236

[liveslaughsloves]

[his entire face lights up like an alien rave out of anxiety]

What race?

Re: 236

[nymphcompoop]

The race for Lea's heart.

Re: 236

[liveslaughsloves]

Oh my god. Yue. Why.

Re: 236

[nymphcompoop]

He told me you're roommates.

Re: 236

[liveslaughsloves]

Yeah, ‘cos I didn’t have anywhere else to go until he tracked down my brother. Are you trying to date him or not.

Re: 236

[nymphcompoop]

Depends.

Why did you accept to go live with some amnesiac rando you met at the hospital?

Re: 236

[liveslaughsloves]

“Depends”…

I mean, he wouldn’t exactly let me say no, and he was from Forge, and…

[I was a mafia nepo baby serial killer with no identifying information or local address or emergency contact, but I found that out later? no, too much]

I wanted to keep an eye on him? We were both pretty fucked up by losing our memories. Did you know him from before?

Re: 236

[nymphcompoop]

...


We're childhood friends. He was ignoring my all of my texts and pictures of my brand new studio while you were both working on it and living with him, apparently.

puts his face in his hands]

You ain’t the first person to get mad at me ‘cos I room with him and he forgot…I dunno why he was ignoring you, though? Lea doesn’t ignore people…

Re: 236

[nymphcompoop]

It doesn't matter. I'm not mad at you.

Yet.

Re: 236

[liveslaughsloves]

[peeks between his fingers a little, blue light spilling through the gap]

Are you…mad at him?

Re: 236

[nymphcompoop]

... No.

Re: 236

[liveslaughsloves]

There was a pause before that no.

Re: 236

[nymphcompoop]

[huffs]

It's not like either of you chose to be in that accident or lose your memories. Why would I be mad at you?

... I'm mad that I can't be mad, though.

Not at you, but... at the situation.

Re: 236

[liveslaughsloves]

…you can be mad at me if you want. I think I probably got him in that situation.

Re: 236

[nymphcompoop]

... Did you know each other before?

Re: 236

[liveslaughsloves]

I don’t think so? It’s just a hunch. We were somewhere kinda shady, and Lea’s pretty straightlaced, so I dunno why he would’ve gone there on his own.

1/2

[nymphcompoop]

[ugh. he hates this. makes a complicated face. is Cobalt actually a serial killer???]

Re: 236

[nymphcompoop]

[sighs]

Lea's not the kind of guy who lets himself get dragged into stuff for no reason. If he was there, it's because he wanted to be there.

Re: 236

[liveslaughsloves]

He’d probably say the same thing.

I thought I’d offer, though. If it’d make you feel a little better.
