[stares at his feet as he walks down the street, hands shoved deep in his pockets, his heart racing & his mind a mess]

Um... God, I don't even know how to say this...

IthinkI'minlovewithother!SamI-I don't know what happened. We were talking about the whole me-kissing-Jack thing, which hasn't even gone down yet... & then all the sudden, it was

I AM NOT GAY FOR YOU.

THAT WOULD EITHER BE HOMOSEXUALITY OR MASTURBATION OR INCEST AND I CAN'T CONDONE ANY OF THESE IF I DON'T KNOW WHICH IT IS.

[zombie_pen]

HEY, I'M NOT GAY FOR YOU EITHER.

I just... [swallows hard Fuck, I don't even think I can say it again.

[ad_perditionem]

YOU HEAVILY IMPLIED THE GAYNESS WHEN YOU SAID---THAT YOU---

Tell me you're joking. Please. I don't need this right now.

[zombie_pen]

Oh yeah, 'cause lying in this situation is going to make things way easier to swallow.

Besides, what's with your blushing & stammering? Seems like you've got a case of the love bug too.

[ad_perditionem]

Dude, how fucked up is this? This isn't love. We're not Narcissus. I don't get hard every time I look at myself in the mirror, and that's all you are: a less scarred, nicer version of me.

[zombie_pen]

[pointed look]

You say less scarred like you've seen every inch of me.

& yeah, it's fucked up. But what do you plan on doing about it?

[ad_perditionem]

I have---[looks away, beet red]

I have burns. I know you don't have those.

This is just wrong. Doesn't that bother you?

[zombie_pen]

[quirks an eyebrow] Are you sure about that?

Template's not exactly the place where everything set in black & white, or in stone for that matter. It's a big ol' mass of gray, where right & wrong are jumbled & messy...

If I let every little silly Template thing get to me, I'd be a wreck. I'm just rolling with the punches, so to speak.

[ad_perditionem]

I can't do that. I can't roll like that. I have---it's not that easy for me.

Are you seriously saying you'd be okay with messing around with someone who looks just like you? That's just sick.

[zombie_pen]

I think the morning after I'd laugh really hard & ask how drunk I was.

[shrugs]

[firebranded]

Hey hey hey. If I had feelings I'd take offense to that last comment.

[ad_perditionem]

Take all the offense you want. I stand by my comment.

[firebranded]

That hurts me. Really. The Twin and I are gonna have to start an activist group now.

[ad_perditionem]

Redheaded Assholes for the Promotion of Excessive Masturbatory Engagement?

RAPEME. Sounds like solid activist work. You do that.

[firebranded]

....

That's genius. [have a friendly arm around your shoulder, Sam] You can be co-founder, since you came up with the name.

[ad_perditionem]

Go to hell. I'm not going to be in your little group, ever. I don't swing that way. Not that self-absorbed, sorry.
