[after getting over his "i can't believe i just said that and now i need to crawl into a hole and die" mood, stupid loser standing alone in the middle of some park. he left campus and just... kept walking until he decided to stop.

he pulls out his phone and his thumb does hesitate over fitz's name for a moment, but...]

Hey.

[bighouses]

Aren't the two of you posturing because you like the same girl?

[stupidloser]

No!

[bighouses]

Really?

[stupidloser]

[my face is stuck like this]

That's not funny.

[bighouses]

Who's trying to be funny?

[—wait, does he think i'm talking about me???]

[stupidloser]

[THAT'S THE ONLY WORSE INTERPRETATION]

You know it wasn't about Sylvia.

[bighouses]

[CHRIST]

No, I don't.

[stupidloser]

I brought it up, but that wasn't why he talked to me.

... He told me to stay away from you.

[bighouses]

[crosses her arms]

He just thinks you complicate things.

[stupidloser]

[could you please make this sound less siscon]

What "things?"

[bighouses]

He thinks he's responsible for me, so if he doesn't have to worry about me hanging out with outsiders, he can go focus on— whatever it is he does.

—Oh, and he likes your friend, even if he'll never admit it.

[stupidloser]

So they do like each other. Great.

[bighouses]

[FLATLY AS FUCK]

There there.

[stupidloser]

[THANKS]

I know, it's none of my business.

[bighouses]

You've crashed and burned already.

[stupidloser]

[let's just. not talk about those two so i don't have to think about it.]

—Wait, I'm an outsider?

[bighouses]

You're not Chinese or from one of the big magical families. Neither is she, of course, but apparently that's beside the point.

[stupidloser]

Your family's traditional. That explains a lot.

[bighouses]

Doesn't it just.

[stupidloser]

Now he seems hypocritical, but whatever.

[bighouses]

And that's why he won't admit he likes her. See?

[stupidloser]

Maybe they'll be better off. I don't even know why she likes him.

[NOT MY BUSINESS THO]

[bighouses]

I suppose you can't help the sort of thick, stupid, insensitive, thoughtless people you end up falling for.

[stupidloser]

[why do i feel like you're trying to say something else, here]

Right.

[bighouses]

[baka baka baaaaaka

i mean]

Sigh.
