[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 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)

	[ 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)

	[A shrug.] Er- it's all right, Dirk. [A dumps a pile of clothing.] I'm almost done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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)

	[And then he just blurts out-] Does this mean we're friends again, Dirk? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ 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)

	[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)

	[ 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)

	skulltop 2013-10-27 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	[Now he's all self-conscious again.] Do you...not want me to come out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-27 05:37 pm UTC (link)
	What? [ fuck. good job dirk. ] No, Jake, I was joking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-27 05:39 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. [He laughs really, really forcefully. Then he opens his door and starts shoving things inside with his foot.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Once everything is in his room, he sits on the part of his bed that isn't covered.] (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)

	skulltop 2013-10-27 05:51 pm UTC (link)
	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)

	skulltop 2013-10-27 05:54 pm UTC (link)
	He'll be expecting me. It would be rude to turn him down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-27 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	[ 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)

	...how so? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
