Doesn't have lighter fluid yet.

What kind of something?

[socialactivillain]

[ "Yet". ]

I can't say I understand how his mind works, but you don't buy—or steal, whatever—diamonds for just anyone.

[pyrogue]

That's what I thought.

[ There's a pause as he's also texting Len and James at the same time. ]

But apparently Shade dug up this article about how Len was stealing me IcyHot and Len felt that was too cheap. Maybe it's just a posturing thing?

[socialactivillain]

Oh, yes, I saw that. But diamonds do seem a little much for just posturing.

[pyrogue]

You think so?

[socialactivillain]

They're diamonds, Mick. Also, you said it's a custom job. That's more than just casual effort.

[pyrogue]

Thing is, and I'm not saying you're wrong -- but if that's true then this is just going to complicated, right?

[pyrogue]

[ Shortly after: ]

He just told me I don't have to put out.

[socialactivillain]

[ c h r i s t ]

Well at least you know he's not expecting anything.

[pyrogue]

I don't know. I think I'm in too deep.

[socialactivillain]

In all seriousness, Mick: is he making you uncomfortable?

[pyrogue]

[ Maybe a few years ago his response to that question would be different. Hell, even a few months ago.

Now he just thinks very thoughtfully. There's a noticeable pause between his texts. ]

Not uncomfortable, he hasn't been bothering me or anything. Compared to our Len, he's been downright friendly, when I do talk to him. [ Okay, a little bit overly friendly at times. But still, that's fine.

Another pause. ]

I'm more worried that I'm handling this badly.

[socialactivillain]

What would handling it well look like?

[pyrogue]

Did you see the texts I told you to ignore? Better than that.

[socialactivillain]

...So, are you...

[ There's a pause before his next text because he has to debate if he actually wants an answer. ]

Interested?

stall stall stall the answer ~~

[pyrogue]

[ Mick has been so caught up in wondering if Len has a thing for him -- a real, actual thing for him and not just a flirtatious manner -- that he is a little bit taken aback by the question. ]

What?

[socialactivillain]

I just mean, if you're not bothered by his... advances...

[pyrogue]

I thought I wasn't supposed to be bothered. You know, be accepting and [ what do people call it? ] hip to the movement?


[ NAILED IT ]

[socialactivillain]

Being accepting isn't the same as leading someone on.

[pyrogue]

Shit, am I leading him on?

[socialactivillain]

I have no idea, because I couldn't begin to guess what he's thinking. But if you're not interested and he is...

[pyrogue]

He told me not to read anything into it, so I think he already backed down.

And I thought women were complicated.

sorry you're gay now mick

[socialactivillain]

Yeah, men aren't much easier. Sorry.

Do you know what fanfiction is?

[socialactivillain]

You mean like those stories James writes where he's on that Star Trek show with the female captain?
