004 [Video] - This is going to be so awkward the morning after

[Guy sets the device down on the counter. He's in an apron in the apartment kitchen, behind him Asch is visible also working on something. Guy smiles at the camera as he leans back, picking up a bowl and resuming the mixing of whatever is inside.]

Hey Luke, just wanted to remind you it's our one year anniversary. [He beams, looking so damn happy

[What is going on here.

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.]

Wha...

[Luke's already at work, and while waitresses move on behind him, HE'S STILL STARING AT THE NETWORK.]

I... I don't-

What the hell?!

video; OH LUKE

[BACK TO MIXING THINGS. Still looking a little flushed, but happy!!!]

I told you the other day didn't I? It's our one year anniversary. Don't tell me you forgot.

What. [FLAT WHAT. Followed by Luke trying to explain and instead going more into panic mode, voice rising--] You haven't even been here for a month! And what's with you and Asch? You're acting like... I don't even know! It's the creepiest thing I've ever seen!

Luke.

[It's said sharply and a bit angrily. Guy's not cool with the insults, bro. Not today.]

[That works on him even now. He knows then that he's overstepped his boundaries, curse or not, and looks off to the side.]

... sorry. I'll just-- go.

[No he's not really happy, not after what Luke said. But Luke clearly has a problem and they'll need to deal with it.]

Whatever your problem is we'll talk about it later.

[Luke hesitates, daring a concerned and almost hurt glance at Guy through the device. He wants to tell Guy that it's a curse, but that won't help. If Luke were affected by something like this, he probably wouldn't want to hear that it's a lie either.]

... Happy anniversary.

[He shuts off the feed before he can dig himself a bigger hole.]
