MOHINDER AND PETER ARE UPSET BECAUSE THEY HAVE SUBTEXT, TOO.
You guys. "Little Latin boy, why are you crying?" is from To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! -Julie Newmar. It's pretty obscure, so yeah. I was going to use "What's in the box?" for Se7en but I figured that was too vague. Anyway.
Also: WHAT? WHAT. NO. WHAT? NOOOOO. NO NO NO NO NO. NUH-UH. NOPE. I REFUSE THIS. HE'S GAY. GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY. WHAT THE HELL, TIM KRING?? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME? I LOVED HIM, OKAY. I LOVED HIM. HE WAS MY HEROES BUDDY-BOY. HE WAS SO FUCKING AWESOME AND NOW YOU JUST GO AND DO THIS. NO, MR. KRING. I REFUSE THIS. WHY CAN'T YOU BE COOL LIKE KRIPKE? WHY'D YOU GO AND DO THIS? I USED TO THINK, "HEROES IS SO AWESOME. I THINK I'LL COMPARE KRING TO KRIPKE." BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOO. NOT ANYMORE. KRIPKE HAS INCEST, OKAY. KRIPKE CAN GET AWAY WITH FUCKING INCEST. AND YOU CAN'T EVEN PULL OFF ONE GAY TEENAGER. FOR SHAME, KRING. FOR SHAME. WHAT THE HELL. UNDERAGE PETER/CLAIRE SUBTEXT FLYIN' AROUND ALL OVER, BUT HEAVEN FORBID THAT A KID SHOULD WANT SOME BOY-ON-BOY SMEXING AND... GRR. WHAT THE HELL.
So I've been reading this book. You may have heard of it? A Separate Peace. BLOODY HELL THIS BOOK READS MY SOUL. A Separate Peace, meet me at camera 3.
Okay, look, honey. We can't keep doing this. I know it was fun while it lasted. I know that personally, I loved nothing more than spending the wee hours of the morning flipping through your pages. But, I think things are getting too serious for me. I mean, I've never felt this way about any other book before. Okay, so I have, but you... you're something different. I feel like we've known each other for years, even though we just met. And maybe it's because I'm afraid of committment and getting too close to literature, but I feel like I need my space because the mere thought of you makes my hands quiver uncontrollably. ladyjaida, my future wife, has mentioned before that this can happen with books. I'm pretty sure she's been cheating on me with Good Omens. Not the point. But it scares me how well you know me. I mean, you know EXACTLY what I want. Have you been going through my diary? Frankly, it's creeping me out a little bit. We just... we just fit, you know? I don't know. I need some space to think things over. I don't want to fall in love with you just to be disappointed. I know, I know, you're great right now, but what if you end up hurting me? My last promising book, The Scarlet Letter, started out nice with all the imagery and symbolism, but later it just got really needy and condescending. I can't go through that again. This chemistry between us is intimidating, but I care for you immensely, despite the fact that you're not gay. I'm okay with that. Neither was The Age of Iron, but I've told you we're just friends. Really, really good friends. As for Harry Potter, we're friends as well. We've been through a lot together. It's normal to be jealous, considering I practically grew up with the series. But baby, this... I have a feeling about this. Just let me think for a couple of days because I think... I think I might love you.
