[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.]

	[ He slams a fist into the wall behind him and squeezes his eyes shut from anger. ] More like what isn't the matter with me, am I right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What are you talking about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not surprised you don't remember, you were pretty keen not to talk to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wh... [ And then it comes crashing down around him. You don't have to hate yourself. ] ...You still don't know what you're talking about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Jake gets up and nears Dirk, staring at him right in the shades with a forlorn expression.] We've been friends for how long, Dirk...and you still think that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Oh no no no. Dirk backs away. ] That doesn't make you privy to what's in my head, Jake. [ Maybe not, Dirk, but you've said a lot of damning things in this very conversation. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not as stupid as you think I am, Dirk!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-28 04:42 am UTC (link)
	It's also none of you-- [ Except how can he say that in good conscience after all the shit he's pulled? He covers his face and growls in frustration. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Jake huffs and crosses his arms.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ And Dirk just stands there feeling super awkward. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-28 06:15 am UTC (link)
	[And because he's Jake. Time for tears.] I just want things to go back to how they were before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Shoulders slump. His voice comes out worryingly quiet. ] I don't think that's possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-29 02:00 pm UTC (link)
	Why not? [He pouts, gestures.] I'm willing to try. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-29 04:47 pm UTC (link)
	[ He sighs. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-29 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	[Shoulder slump, and he looks at his feet.] Are you just...forcing it? [Does Dirk really not want to be friends again?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-29 07:22 pm UTC (link)
	I just don't... [ He looks incredibly uncomfortable. ] You deserve someone a hell of a lot better. [ There, he said it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-29 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	But I want to be friends with you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-29 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	Me too. But I don't think it can ever be exactly the same as it was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-29 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	Aren't you at least going to try? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-29 07:30 pm UTC (link)
	[ Another sigh. He rubs at his face, slumping in defeat. He's already said too much, there's no point in arguing the point further. ] ...fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-29 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you, Dirk. [The most sincere and hopeful smile EVER. Jake is happy. So happy. But he doesn't want to scare Dirk, so he just expresses it with his expression.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-29 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	[ He nods. ] I've got stuff to do. You get everything you need? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-29 07:40 pm UTC (link)
	[Jake is already smiling and grinning! He's so happy everything is going to be okay again!!] Yes sirree! Holding the fort good and steady! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-29 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	[ Well, at least Jake's happy. Dirk waves and turns to go. He has to go blow off some steam. ] See you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
