"Race, you make too many bets."
"Oh really?"
"Yes."
"Wanna bet?"
"No! And you just proved my point!"
"You know, Spot, you didn't complain so much about my betting when I bet you I could make you happy."
"Well, that bet was in my favour whether I won or lost!"
"Oh, so you just don't like bets that can't result in you winning either way."
"Well..."
"You're selfish. I bet you wouldn't be as selfish if I slept in a different room than you tonight."
"You wouldn't dare."
"Maybe I would."
"Well, you can't. Because I'm sitting on you."
"I'm strong enough to lift you up, you know."
"Damn."
"..."
"Don't smirk at me like that! I'm the one who smirks! And put me down!"
"Not until you pay up. Unless you want me in another room..."
"Fine! I'll wear the mini skirt and the pink high heels!"
“Do you ever wonder whether maybe there’s parallel universes?”
“Not really, no. Why?”
“Because I was just thinking… in a parallel universe, would we still love each other? What if there was a universe where you were straight?”
“What?”
“Well, it might happen. Do you think the parallel universe of me would be sad?”
“Uhm. That depends. Maybe the parallel universe you is also straight. Then you wouldn’t care.”
“Don’t be silly, Blink, I’d never be straight. Unless maybe I was a girl and you were a boy. Or you were a girl, and I was a boy.”
“So what you’re saying is that you’re absolutely sure that any and every parallel universe version of you loves any and every parallel universe version of me. But you don’t know if any and every parallel universe version of me loves any and every parallel universe version of you back?”
“You make it sound so complicated.”
“Well, is it what you’re thinking?”
“…”
“Mush?”
“…I saw a person who looked like you today. And he was with a girl who definitely didn’t look like I’d look if I was a girl.”
“Mush, do I love you?”
“…”
“The answer is yes. Truly and deeply. I always want to be here loving you, and I never want to see the day when I don’t love you, because that day is the day my soul dies. And if my soul dies here, I’m pretty sure the soul of any and every parallel universe versions of me will die a little bit, too. So there’s your answer about your parallel universes.”
“I love you, Blink.”
“I love you too, Mush.”
“Blink?”
“Yes, Mush?”
“Do you think there might be a parallel universe where Race is straight and Spot’s not a girl?”
“Absolutely.”
“I thought so, too.”
Um... that's all for now. Unbeta'd, so lynch me for errors if you want.
