are you sure you were hearing him right
because i kinda tried to test the waters once
i was being an idiot but i flirted with him a little

i knew he just broke up with his girlfriend so in the showers after basketball practice i told him not to worry about it because he was so pretty that he could date whoever he wanted
i mean that's not subtle right?? it doesn't seem like it to me
we were both naked??
but he brushed it right off
he didn't even look at me, he just kept washing his hair

[endlessflask]

1) that's INCREDIBLY homoerotic and probably the plot of several gay coming-of-age films
2) if I was Steve I definitely wouldn't think that was flirting

[driving]

1) shut up
2) really? how much clearer can i get

[endlessflask]

Honestly? if someone did that to me, I'd think they were being an insensitive prick, not trying to get into my pants

especially if it's someone with a history of beating me up

[driving]

i told him he was pretty what more do you want
i gotta buy him flowers now?
i don't even buy the girls flowers

also i didn't beat him up yet then i just shoved him a few times

[endlessflask]

you're giving me a headache
you're the reason the phrase Boys Will Be Boys is problematic

what do you do when you're trying to pick up a girl

[driving]

just smile a lot and tell them they look nice
wear a revealing shirt and tight pants, get in real close
pretend to be interested in whatever they're doing or their personality or whatever

you know the deal

[ Yeah sorry Eliot, Billy's a sleazebag. ]

it's easier with girls though, you can just flirt
with a guy you have to be able to deny it if someone catches on

[endlessflask]

Billy
I'm gonna tell you two things right now and for the love of God either listen to them or never come to me about this again

1) all that shit? That's what you do with guys.
2) no one here gives a shit if you're into guys, especially not your dad because he's not here

[driving]

what if he shows up
i'm not trying to argue or anything but
it's a possibility, right?

[endlessflask]

we're living in a massive, nightmare inducing dreamscape
if you can't stand up to him here, then where the hell else are you going to?

also
Not to be cynical or anything
but we don't even know if when we wake up, we remember this place, right?

[driving]

i guess you're right

[ He wasn't actually planning on ever confronting his dad. When he turned eighteen and earned enough money, he was just going to drive back to California and hope to never see him again, but he doesn't want to look like a wimp for saying that out loud. ]

i hope we remember it

[endlessflask]

real talk? That's the most human thing you've ever communicated

[driving]

is that a good thing?

[ It might seem like a stupid question, but in the past expressing actual human emotions has only resulted in him being called a pussy. ]

[endlessflask]

It's a good thing.

Hey, so I'm not really in any shape to be going out for extended periods of time right now, but if you ever wanted to stop by the house whenever you need to get shit off your chest
The door's open for you

[driving]

ok
you're being awfully nice to me considering i just beat your face in but


thanks. i mean it.
