I Prefer the Mind Control Rewrite - Chapter 19

previous chapter

---------

“So are you really leaving?” Preston asked me. He sat slumped on his bed, head in hands. He didn’t even want to fucking see me; why did he look so depressed?

( 'Yeah, I am,' I said. )

Oh, Preston bb. I am glad that he did actually say he still loved Dylan even despite everything -- because those feelings just don't up and disappear, even when a breakup happens. I love that Dylan was awkward as hell about it, too.

And damn, Xan. Do you know how to greet people with a simple hello? I mean even Savin's not that bad and he's my resident perv lololol. I did like that the body guards took Dylan's stuff so that they didn't have to make multiple trips. It'll be interesting to see how things play out when Xan finally meets the parents.

Feelings don't just disappear, do they? Even though I knew Preston kinda needed to say that, I was still like "damn, that is just gonna be painful and awkward."

Lol I think Xan wants to impress the parents by making dinner for everyone. That seems to be his solution to things -- cook something. WAFFLES MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER.

Xan does not, in fact, know how to greet people with a simple hello. To be fair, maybe it's a cultural thing? I wouldn't be surprised if making out as a form of greeting was common on Zimara.

Oh, Dylan. You are so clueless sometimes. How do you not get that Preston still cares about you even if seeing you on a regular basis is too painful for him right now? Dude, come on. You're smarter than this.

Preston was so sweet - putting aside his own hurt and anger to try to talk some sense into Dylan and convince him to do what was best for him, even though having him stay on Earth would force him to see him more. Making it clear that just because Dylan hurt him didn't mean he stopped caring for him or wanting to be his friend. I love how emotionally honest he is, even with all he's been through. Poor sweetie.

Xan needs to learn to be a little more considerate of people's feelings. When you're in the room with someone who has feelings for your boyfriend, just keep your damn hands to yourself for a few fucking minutes, okay? You'll have plenty of time to make him your plaything when you're on a different planet with him. Jeez. dude.

Xan and Dylan? I think that is just going to be an epic amount of cluelessness. Neither of them are all that together. Maybe that's why they like each other so much, haha.

Preston is just too damn sweet, isn't he? He's definitely the Woobie of this 'verse. I didn't even intend for him to be so much more sympathetic than everyone else; he just kind of came out that way.
