[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.]

	Out of our- your room. [He looks so miserable but at least he's not crying.] And if you don't mind... if it's all right...I'd like to continue staying here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanks. [His feet shift, and he flops back down on the couch, eyes turned toward his movie.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mm. [ Well, that went well. Dirk finally closes the door behind himself. ] So, uh. You and Rox been doing okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-26 05:09 pm UTC (link)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-26 05:11 pm UTC (link)

	[ His heart is aching. Everything up until now was his own damn fault, and he knows it, but-- he doesn't know how to make it right. ] Jake. [ No. He shouldn't be pushy, should he? That's what got him into this mess. He sighs and rakes his fingers through his hair. ] I... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-26 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, Dirk. [A pause.] Welcome back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-26 05:48 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks. [ He swallows nervously. ] Missed you two. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He was going to say- how did you know? But then he realizes he's referring to both him and Roxy. A blanket statement. He wants to apologize some more...but god that just ended so badly. So he just gives a weak smile.]] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Too late Dirk realizes the linguistic ambiguity in his statement. He smiles back just as weakly and absconds to the bathroom. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Whenever Dirk steps out, Jake is in the process of taking his things out of Dirk's room, dumping them in the hallway.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He has a towel wrapped around his hair as he steps out into the hallway, clean and dressed in a fresh set of clothes. ] ...uh. Need some help? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-27 05:11 pm UTC (link)
	[A shrug.] Er- it's all right, Dirk. [A dumps a pile of clothing.] I'm almost done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-27 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, if you're planning on living right here in the hall. [ He stoops down to pick up some of those clothes. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-27 05:20 pm UTC (link)
	[And then he just blurts out-] Does this mean we're friends again, Dirk? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-27 05:22 pm UTC (link)
	[ Dirk flinches. He almost drops the clothes he's holding. It takes him a moment to answer, but he finally looks downward and nods. ] That would be cool. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-27 05:30 pm UTC (link)
	[A RADIANT SMILE.] Thank goodness. [It's obvious he's holding back a lot. But dang he's really happy. He wants to roll in his stuff in happiness.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-27 05:32 pm UTC (link)
	[ 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)
