[someone sneaking in through the door way too late, for like the hundredth time, instantly looking for piper...

weird, he isn't napping in my bed like usual?]

Comments

[forthejob]

Yeah... sorry.

[and yet i offer no explanation!]

[pricetopay]

[yeah that's really reassuring]

... do you not want to be around me anymore?

[forthejob]

Hey, come on, I never said that.

[pricetopay]

You never are, though.

[forthejob]

Not never...

[pricetopay]

For an hour when I'm actually awake?

[forthejob]

Just... a lot going on right now.

[pricetopay]

I'm not a kid, Beat, you don't have to lie to me.

[forthejob]

I know that. And I'm not.

[pricetopay]

... fine.

[forthejob]

[sighs]

... I can't tell you. I'm sorry.

[pricetopay]

[just nods, not actually looking at him]

[forthejob]

... You don't believe me.

[pricetopay]

Does it matter?

[forthejob]

'Course it matters!

[pricetopay]

I can't stop you from leaving, and I can't make you tell me, so why does it matter?

[forthejob]

Can't you just trust me?

[pricetopay]

... you're the only person I can trust.

[forthejob]

[shiiit i'm a piece of shit]

Look, I'm... I'm doing this for you.

[pricetopay]

What if I don't want it?

[forthejob]

It's not that simple.

[pricetopay]

... you're not going to listen to anything I say. That's why it doesn't matter.

[forthejob]

I'm listening. It's just— complicated, okay?

[pricetopay]

I already said it's fine.

[forthejob]

The hell it is.
