Alec closed his laptop and stalked down the hall to Mickey's room. He didn't bother to knock, just twisted the doorknob and stepped inside, shutting it behind him. He leaned back against it, crossing his arms over his chest, and glared at Jimmy.

"You youthened," he said blandly, not allowing his surprise to show. "It's an improvement. You didn't age well."

Alec turned that over in his mind, considering the situation. Was it worth it, just to see how far he could push things? His irritation was like an itch under his skin, and he didn't know of many ways to make the feeling go away. Fighting was one, but Jimmy wouldn't engage.

"Shall I point out that while you may have obtained certain information about the other version of you's life and interactions, there is no possible way that you are privy to every face-to-face interaction said other self has had? I might also point out that the reason you called me here is because, among my many skills, I am able to access electronic data that should not be accessible to anyone but its rightful owner. I don't tend to like people to know my business, and since I do not kid myself that I am the only person as good as what I do as I am, I am very careful about what I commit to pixels. And, as I said, you're younger than I'm used to. It's an improvement." His gaze was intense, like he meant to look straight through him to the inside of his skull.

"I'm privy to what I wrote to my sisters," Jimmy pointed out. "Trust me, if you'd fucked me? I'd know." Given how aware Jimmy was of privacy issues, it always surprised him how open his other self was in communications with his family. The fact that Jimmy was able to break any encryption his other self had set was an advantage, however, that the average person burrowing into his affairs wouldn't have.

And given what Jimmy's said about Alec in the past, he was sure that if anything had happened, it would've been mentioned. And now, it had been a damned long time, and he was sure Alec was trying to push him, and he almost didn't care. "Do I remind you of when we first met? It's one advantage; I don't change." It was the closest he might come to explicitly saying something about what he was, here in this body. "But body doesn't matter, I'm still me. Same guy you knew."

"Mm," Alec said, an absolutely noncommital sound. "And if I hated the guy I knew, I wouldn't be here, would I? Unless I came to fuck you... over." His lips quirked into that smug little smile he had that tended to irritate people. "But I didn't. I'm here because a friend asked me to be. You asked me to be. So."

He let go of the front of Jimmy's shirt, smoothing his hand over the wrinkles he'd created, letting it slide up to spread against the back of his neck. They were close enough that he could feel Jimmy's breath on his skin. "The choice is yours."

	Fuck, it had been way too long. He didn't care why or what, just that there was an opportunity here that might not be around the next time he was out and he should take advantage of it. He reached out, large palm flat against the nape of Alec's neck with a small smirk. "I say kiss and make up." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So do it," Alec said. He hooked two fingers of his free hand in one of Jimmy's belt loops, then pushed himself up on his toes so that they were eye to eye, their lips almost, but not quite touching. (Reply to this) (Parent)
