What, really, City?

All right. I'll play. Who's up?

[team_sociopath]

Sort of. You're cute. [His cool will not crack, but this is pretty damn embarrassing for him, okay?]

But I'm pretty sure I'd do something jerky eventually and make you miserable. And then Billy would probably electrocute me.

[deadly_legacy]

I wouldn't want you to be electrocuted. [She smiles softly at him.]

Ah, I suppose it's time for a dare.

[team_sociopath]

[It takes him a while to think of one, since well he would like to avoid doing something jerky and getting electrocuted.]

Go out for a drink with me this week. Some night when there's no curse.

[deadly_legacy]

[She is about to protest she might not be very good company right now, but she nods. Maybe it would be nice to just spend some time with Tommy without worrying if Suzaku is all right or if he'll return. Besides, the curse isn't really taking no for an answer.] Mm, I'd like that, Tommy. [After a moment.] As friends.

[team_sociopath]

I wasn't trying to make a pass at you.

[Mostly.]

[deadly_legacy]

I just... [Doesn't want to do anything that might hurt him.] Sorry.

Ah... Truth or dare?

[team_sociopath]

Truth, I guess.

[Stiiiiilll crawling along.]

[deadly_legacy]

Were you upset when I started dating Hanna? [She really shouldn't keep asking these things, but they are on her mind and coming out.]

[team_sociopath]

Not really, I never had any expectations.

I figured if he upset you I'd kick his ass, though.

[deadly_legacy]

[She smiles softly at that.] You'd really have done that?

Not that I ever would have wanted you to of course.

[team_sociopath]

Of course I would've. It's like, a matter of principle.

[deadly_legacy]

You're sweet, Tommy.

[Pause.] I'm sorry I...made everything so confusing.

[team_sociopath]

It's not as bad as you think.

[Tommy's kind of good at being That Other Guy, he's used to it.]

[deadly_legacy]

[She just smiles at him.] Truth.

[team_sociopath]

How annoyed are you that you can't stop playing this dumb game?

[deadly_legacy]

[Laughing.] It's not so bad right now at least.

[team_sociopath]

Kinda gets old fast.

[deadly_legacy]

Maybe we're done? I'll try not to ask you which you choose and you try not to tell me, okay?

[team_sociopath]

Rmnph.

[That is an affirmation smothered by Tommy's hands, which are trying to keep his mouth from continuing.]

[deadly_legacy]

[She giggles.] I'll talk to you later, Tommy. Good luck!
