More destructive, childish ... forward.

[pussyfortono]

Forward?

[blueondeck]

He's more stubborn that usual too, but yeah, forward.

[pussyfortono]

And reckless.

[blueondeck]

Yes. When I told him about the kiss, I learned he use to have a thing with Basco.

[pussyfortono]

. . . . . . .

[blueondeck]

. . .

I got upset, I shouldn't have, but I did.

[pussyfortono]

If I was you, I would have gotten upset as well.

[blueondeck]

[that at least make me feel better]

[pussyfortono]

[ here, he is going to put his hand on your shoulder & then grip it ]

[blueondeck]

[you are the best bro ever. continuing]

He got upset and said he wasn't Basco, wasn't like Basco. I already knew that. I didn't want anything from Basco. Who would want anything from him?

But then Marvelous asked me what I wanted from him... by himself. On his own.

[pussyfortono]

. . . you were not ready to answer that after what he told you.

[blueondeck]

[nods, confirming] I had no answer.

[pussyfortono]

Did he understand that?

[blueondeck]

We changed the subject, so I don't know.

[pussyfortono]

Who changed it?

[blueondeck]

I went silent so he went on to the new subject.

[pussyfortono]

. . . how do you feel right now?

[blueondeck]

Like puking still. Like he's being a huge baby...

. . .

[ he gets up & goes to his drawers. he rifles through it a bit before pulling out a small tin. he opens it & takes something out before walking over to you & holding it out to you ] It is a mint. It will help.

[blueondeck]

[takes it] Thanks.

[pussyfortono]

[ he goes over to the mini-fridge too, getting a can of ginger ale & then coming over & handing that to you too ] For nausea.

[blueondeck]

[takes that as well. I'll pop that open first and sip it]

He said my name.

[pussyfortono]

. . . [ you poor thing ]

[blueondeck]

The Basco we knew doesn't even acknowledge the rest of us who aren't Marvelous. We're just those people he's associating with.
