Re: log: flash/gwen at the orchard
"Gonna send you some pics of me holding a bunny. Won't be able to resist that shit." He knew nerdy girls loved hot dudes holding cute animals. It was practically an internet golden rule. Flash pretended like he didn't want a girl bunny rabbit. "Okay, but I get to name her something bad ass." Seemed like a fair deal. And if Flash had it his way they'd still be making out and talking about saving bunnies and then going to explore the tree. But, he knew this shit with MJ, with the dudes, with everything was just part of being with Gwen. They couldn't just be cause of all the history. And, she could pretend that it was all Froyo and she was just making sure he was good. But, it wasn't all of it. Wouldn't bug her so much if it wasn't her, right?
He tapped his fist in his hand and stopped pacing. Flash had an anger thing when he was younger and it literally took years of hard work to make it simmer. When he got pissed, he didn't yell anymore. He didn't hit things. He didn't get tense. Flash taught himself to defuse himself by looking at as many sides as he could. If he made it a big picture, he couldn't be pissed in most cases. Most. This whole medicine thing felt like she was accusing him of being in love with MJ and it cut really deep. It pissed him off.
But, he knew she wasn't trying to hurt him. And, he knew she couldn't lie or play games. That was about enough to make his temper simmer. Cool. Like AC in an arcade in the middle of summer. "This is going to sound fucked up, but I knew I could have hooked up with MJ when I came back if I wanted. Not that she's real thirsty for me, but I knew if I wanted her I could get it. You telling me this might be a big surprise to everyone, but not to me. It's MJ, man, it's what she does."
Flash walked back over to her and sat in front of her, cross-legged and picking at the grass around him. He gave her a really serious look. "I appreciate it. You telling me. Being honest. This shit just makes me crazy." Flash looked up at the branches above him. "You know, I wasn't looking to be with anyone. Remember me telling you that? But, fuck, I like you."
