[Jake has been bumming around the alphapartment, depressed and watching movies and trying both to isolate himself and to find solace in whatever company he could get. It's been a few days and Dirk still hates him, or so he's convinced himself, and he is very depressed that he's lost his best friend.

He's on the couch with a huge pile of movies on the floor next to it, watching somewhat blankly with an empty bowl of popcorn. He's never been so unenthusiastic about watching movies in his life.]

	[ Dirk relaxes just a bit, seeing that smile. It kind of hurts, but he's missed it all the same. ] Which room are you taking? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-27 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	My old room, of course. [He gestures to the door right across from Dirk's.] Though I'm not certain how often I'll be in it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He carries his armful of clothes toward the door. ] Heh, you want to move the TV in there too? You'd never have to come out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What? [ fuck. good job dirk. ] No, Jake, I was joking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. [He laughs really, really forcefully. Then he opens his door and starts shoving things inside with his foot.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Dirk stands in the doorway, eyes trained on the floor. This... really is it, huh? ] ...I'm, uh, right across the hall if you ever need anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Um. I'm headed over to Mr. Bro's place in a bit. Would you like to accompany me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-27 05:53 pm UTC (link)
	[ This is literally the most difficult question anyone has ever asked him. ] Are... you sure you want to go there? We could just hang out here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He'll be expecting me. It would be rude to turn him down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ His shoulders slump. He doesn't want to go anywhere near Bro, but on the other hand he doesn't want Jake going near him alone. And on the other other hand, he knows he can't be pushy, but... ] You should stay away from him, Jake. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't see why for. He's been a tremendous help these past couple of days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-27 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	...how so? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-27 06:48 pm UTC (link)
	He kept me company! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-27 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	Great. [ He lifts his shades up to rub at his eyes. At least he can probably assume Bro didn't do anything too awful, or Jake would be mentioning it? ] He's a fucked-up douchebag, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-27 07:05 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think any of that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-27 07:07 pm UTC (link)
	[ He unconsciously rubs at the shoulder that was dislocated a couple of days prior. ] You've known the guy for months and you still don't see it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-27 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	He's been a big help to me, Dirk. I don't understand what I'm supposed to be seeing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-27 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	The part where he's a creepy old asshole hanging around and hitting on a bunch of kids half his age? Or how about the part where he goes out of his way to stir shit up and piss off, again, kids half his age? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-27 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	He's only joking, Dirk, you needn't take his teasing so seriously. And I, for one, have never been pissed off by his antics. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He's a smug, overbearing, manipulative asshole without any regard for boundaries. He doesn't know when the fuck to back off, he doesn't take no for an answer, and he's abusive physically, verbally, and probably sexually. It's probably lucky that you actually like hanging out with him, because if you didn't then he'd still insist on invading your personal space until you were just too worn out to bother telling him off anymore.

	Mayhaps, my good friend, it is precisely because you treat him so terribly that he reacts in such a way! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As if he needs the provocation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
