[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.

[littleirony]

Coming, Sylvia?

[withaburst]

[why does it look like she's trying not to laugh as she meets them near the door]

Yes! Sorry.

[littleirony]

[and we are leaving, because fuck that kid.]

I'll drop you off first.

[withaburst]

Thank you.

[i am totally not texting a certain loser right now, nope]

[littleirony]

[totally not being a grumpy loser while his sister plops into the passenger seat and sleeps.]

[withaburst]

... Hey, are you okay?

[littleirony]

... Me?

[withaburst]

Yeah.

[littleirony]

Why are you asking me that?

[withaburst]

[because i LIKE YOU??]

... Just making sure.

[littleirony]

[HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT, I'M AWFUL]

I'm fine.

[withaburst]

Really?

[littleirony]

—Your friend is a little grating.

[withaburst]

... I know, he's not easy to get along with. He has good intentions, he's just not very good at... showing that most of the time.

[littleirony]

So I'm being too harsh?

[withaburst]

I don't blame you for finding it difficult, especially because—

[glances at fitz, and decides maybe she should change the subject]

... Um, I'm his only friend, so you're not the only person who sees him like that.

[littleirony]

[grunts because that's not similar to me at all!]

[withaburst]

... Can I ask you something?

[littleirony]

Go ahead.

[withaburst]

[looking at fitz]

What would you do if you... really liked someone, but knew that your parents wouldn't approve?

[littleirony]

[wh]

I wouldn't pursue it.

[withaburst]

Even if you were really happy?

[littleirony]

Why should I put someone I supposedly like in a position where they would get hurt?

[withaburst]

Maybe that would happen either way. You don't think it would be worth it to try?

[littleirony]

It depends on the person.
