"finally"... so you told her about, like
everything else already?

[looking_sharp]

She's been trying to get me to say it for years.

[electroburst]

oh wow, years. so she knows all about me.

[looking_sharp]

Only what isn't classified.

[electroburst]

oh yeah, of course.
maybe i could
uh
i mean if you think it
fuck
never mind.

[looking_sharp]

Not yet. This is our memorial. Another time.

[electroburst]

no, i don't want to meet her
i mean
not now!
maybe later yeah
i just meant i could
i dunno. send a card. say hey
it's stupid, sorry. that's way too much. i dunno how this stuff works, don't be mad.

[looking_sharp]

You're welcome to, if you want.
Ma's more like you.
She's laugh at it.

[electroburst]

hard to believe you come from anyone that's like me...

[looking_sharp]

Supposedly I take after my father. Except for being the short one in the family.

[electroburst]

wait
YOU'RE the short one in the family??

[looking_sharp]

Yes.

[electroburst]

[ reno, a very tiny boy: feeling threatened ]

damn. and you're pretty fucking tall.

[looking_sharp]

Mom's got four inches on me. Before heels. She played beach volleyball, professionally.

[electroburst]

[ will not ever say out loud: she's probably super hot ]

sporty, tall as hell, laughs shit off, unrepentant shipper. what else?

[looking_sharp]

[Yeah, that's a good way to get a broken jaw.]

Shipper?
She loves daiquiris. Says the new bartender can't make them like I do.
He's been there a decade now.
Ma's a piece of work.]

[electroburst]

yeah, ships like
augh i explained this to you a dozen times. ships like who she likes together. that's called a ship. shippers ship the ships.

[ that isn't even english ]

you do make a pretty fucking good daiquiri though.

[looking_sharp]

Like that anime.
I better. I was a bartender.

[electroburst]

yeah, like the anime ♥

you never told me that, did you? damn. you know that's categorically a super hot profession, right?

[looking_sharp]

You're getting a lot of information today.
No, never did. Didn't see the point.
How is it hot?

[electroburst]

i haven't even traded you any for it. you just feel talkative or something?

it just is. you ever give well-intentioned bartender advice?

[looking_sharp]

It's... important. To who I am.
Never. Didn't care to give advice.
I listened. They talked. They made their own conclusions.

[electroburst]

well, i'm into it. you can keep going.

damn. that's hot, too. i'm picturing it... you when you were younger, so quiet. actually shy, but too imposing for it to show. just letting people unload their shit on you without judgment for once, looking at them with those eyes of yours... could almost convince somebody you really care about their dumb problems. keeping the drinks coming. bet you got crazy tips. also, sleeves rolled up.
super hot, partner.

[looking_sharp]

Ain't giving you it all now.
Was Costa, didn't roll up the sleeves.
Wore a tank-top. Too hot otherwise.

[electroburst]

hottttt. you got really really nice arms.

you wanna trade? i'll tell you what i did. before.
