"hello?" mark says softly into the receiver.
"mark. did you, and please, for the love of all that is good in this world say no, buy a fucking airline last night?" chris says, cooly, rage clearly hidden like the good pr person that he is. mark whimpers.
"…no?"
"fuck you mark, don't lie to me!" chris' voice climbs an octave. mark briefly considers just jumping off the roof of his house.
"but you said--"
"mark. elliot. zuckerberg."
thankfully, dustin choses this exact moment to awake. mark thanks the gods he doesn't believe in. thank you thank you thank you for not having me kill dustin when i wanted to so badly
"nggghnn." dustin rolls off the sofa he fell asleep in. mark tries not to laugh. dustin glares at him before asking, "who are you talking to anyway? it's not like you have a girlfriend."
"chris." mark says matter-of-factly. dustin visibly recoils. mark tries hard not to grin. at least now they're both screwed.
"who is that, is that dustin? put me on speakerphone." chris says and mark obeys, because if there's one thing mark's learnt over the years is that to always always always. listen. to. chris.
"hello christopher, i'm nero." dustin says cheerfully.
"this is important dustin. did mark buy an airline yesterday?" chris sighs.
dustin's face immediately falls. ah, so he remembers. "well…"
"because gawker thinks so. they think facebook's trying to get into the airline business. with all the fucking privacy concerns, no one's pleased. they think we're trying to monopolize the whole world." chris says. "and mark. please stop. i can here you fantasizing about ruling the world and it's making my workload grow. like physically."
"i'm not fantasizing about anything." mark denies like a pro. never thought of ruling the world, he swears! he's just an ordinary guy who wants an ordinary life doing ordinary things.
dustin actually bursts out laughing and starts choking on his spit.
"fuck you man i can still fire you!" mark flips dustin off. "and dustin told me to buy it. he said it'll be good for business."
"i didn't say that!" dustin interrupts indignantly. "i said it'll be a great gift for eduardo who keeps complaining about missing flights and--"
"you bought eduardo an airline!?"
"DUSTIN SAID IT WAS A GOOD IDEA!"
"AND WHEN DID WE START LISTENING TO DUSTIN!?" chris screams and mark thinks he's really fucked up this time. they've broke the only sane one in the whole entire fucking company (no the lawyers don't count. no matter what chris says, he doesn't have lawyers in his fucking company.)
"well, i have to go, shower then work right see you!" dustin grabs his laptop and dashes out of the door before mark even registers what's going in (he's REALLY HUNGOVER OKAY?) leaving mark to deal with the fallout.
"explain, zuckerberg. explain so i have a reason not to go over to your place right now and gut you."
"uh, well…"

so the thing is, chris kinds of hates his job. the pay is pretty good (okay, who is he kidding, the pay is fucking fantastic) and it's not like he's hated or anything (voted man of the year three times running, babes. and dudes.) but it's just that he's pretty sure normal pr guys don't have to deal with their ceos buying airlines for their ex-best-friends-who-are-technically-kind-of-enemies-now. he's pretty sure if any of the other pr guys had mark as their ceos, they'd quit within the first year.
chris doesn't quit because he has morals. he knows the company would be doomed without him, and then 600 million people would go into facebook withdrawal, and the world would end. or something.
that doesn't mean he can't bitch about it.
"i can't believe you made mark buy eduardo a fucking airline, dustin. why would you do that! do you hate me? is that what's going on?" chris asks as dustin walks toward his desk.
"ughhhh, chris. it's not my fault okay!? mark's supposed to have better judgement than this. listening to a drunk me isn't really something i thought he'd do." dustin replies, "and besides, this shows. you know. how much he still cares."
"how much he still-- DUSTIN ARE YOU TRYING TO GET MARK AND EDUARDO TO HOOK UP AGAIN?" sometimes chris desperately wishes he wasn't surrounded by idiot geniuses.
"don't you see christopher!? mark and eduardo are meant to be! i mean, everyone at harvard pretty much thought they were dating and the lawsuit was basically one giant divorce settlement and COME ON don't you want mom and dad to get back together?" dustin replies with so much hope in his eyes chris feels his heart giving in. damn dustin and his adorable facial features. damn him to hell.
"dustin, it isn't that easy." he hears the words come out of his mouth. he's fighting a losing battle and they both know it. dustin's got him now.
"nobody said it was easy!" dustin puts his arm around chris' shoulders. "granted, no one ever said it would be this hard, but come on christopher. mark is miserable. eduardo is miserable. if they just got into each other's pants already, we can all be happy."
"fine, what do you have in mind…" chris sighs. this was going to suck.
