[oomfies]

am too

[dadyl]

Why're you like this?

[oomfies]

[ Because she moped at the last one, too. ]

you're my friend
duh

[dadyl]

[ Yeah, that kicks the knees right out from under his attitude. ]

Why're you just watching? [ Staring. ]

No boyfriends this time?

[oomfies]

we haven't been boyfriends / girlfriend in a long time
they're just boyfriends now

[ Plain and simple, accompanied by a shrug of her shoulders as she steals a ripe peach. ]

i'm here for the free shit lol

[dadyl]

Oh. [ Hm, shit. ]

Do I say sorry?

[ He's certainly feeling sorry for himself, now that whatever he'd been doing with Jesse is over. ]

[oomfies]

you can ig
but im pretty much over it

[ (She isn't. Sort of.) ]

theyre doing their thing and im doing my thing
the end

[dadyl]

[ Good, well. He already said it once, technically. ]

What's your thing?

[oomfies]

being the only 🔥🔥🔥 person in the room

[dadyl]

[ ✓ read. ]

[ So much for flirting. ]

[oomfies]

[ Oh? He left her on Mind Read?

Don't mind her as she blows a kiss his way. You know, just to normally grab his attention again. ]

[dadyl]

[ Okay, somehow that gets a smirk out of him, but he tilts his mask slightly so she can't see it. ]

So why don't you feel like an audience this time?

[ Maybe if he makes her uncomfortable she'll stop making him uncomfortable? ]

[oomfies]

[ Two can play at this game!! ]

why? sad you can't watch? 😘

[dadyl]

I don't like being teased.

[oomfies]

you don't? really??

[dadyl]

[ He does. ]

No.

Last time was a fluke.

[oomfies]

a fluke for a whole evening.. sounds suspish

[dadyl]

I wasn't staring at you all night.

[oomfies]

so you WEREN'T eyeing up the sexy as hell bday girl at her birthday party? i'm appalled and shocked tbh

[dadyl]

Why don't you just come over here and talk to me like a normal person?

[oomfies]

i can..

do you want me to?

[dadyl]

Not really.

[ Not if he has to say it. ]

Free food's gonna run out soon anyway. Since that's all you're here for.

[oomfies]

[ A beat. ]

i'm only asking bc i dont want to bother you
or like feel like im forcing my company

i WOULD like to hang but
you are moping
and i dont even know WHY still

[dadyl]

[ He's about to tell her she'd be incapable of forcing anything on him when she forces him into dumb silence for a few more seconds. ]

Just come sit.

[ He waits until she does before he gives her what she wants, still just a flicker between their minds because for some reason it feels way easier to talk about it this way. Silently, only the outsides of their thighs pressed together on the bench as the rest of the room ruts and moans in front of them. ]

Jesse broke it off.

[oomfies]

[ Oh. Oh. Lottie almost wishes she didn't sit down at all if it meant this. But it's Daryl, so she's willing to try— even if it means pushing through the awkward she feels at this, her inexperience and frank inability to sympathize with people. The topic makes it easier, at least. Lottie went through a break up, too.

She leans back into her seat, spreads her legs until her knees are fully knocking his. ]

damn
sorry..

was it like
recently??
