What's Eating You?

Postby Toshiro Narumi » Sun Jul 15, 2018 8:05 pm

Tosh sat on the common room couch, distractedly playing a first-person shooter as he thought about recent events. In fact he barely even noticed the zombie horde devouring his corpse.

"Dude, the position of 'geek who sucks at FPS games' has been filled, and I don't appreciate you trying to steal my shtick," Trev teased with a smirk as he stood behind Tosh and watched him play, his backpack slung lazily over one shoulder.

"...what?" he asked as if waking up, like he sometimes did when deep in thought. "Oh! I died. Crap."

"Hey Trev."

“You’ve got that glassy faraway look in your eye you get when Science!” he punctuated the subject at which his friend excelled with an exclamation, “is taking over your brain.”

“....I was behind your mom last night?” Trev stretched for a comeback.

“But seriously dude. What’s up. You don’t normally let the zombies eat your brains that fast.”

"She only... scalded it, I guess?" he answered. "But that was still too close for her."

"To top it off I ran into Steph like almost right after, and now I really don't know how to feel."

“Topless in your room with fresh-baked-cookies Steph?” he asked quietly with a cheerful smirk on his face as he Rikered over the back of the couch to sit next to his friend.

"Do you need her? I mean, yeah, you're depressed and dragging a bit, but life goes on. The sun comes up in the morning.

Believe me, there are times when you do need something or someone, but...sometimes, you just have to get up, dust yourself off, and realize you're doing OK."

“Well. Cowboy brain ferret or not, I think you’d be crazy to let a girl like Stephanie get away from you, man. Especially since she’s probably got some common shifter brain shit to work through just like you.”

Trev kept eyeing the Willcouch, “So...is it weird if I sit on you, man? I’m tied and want to sit down but I don’t want it to be like weird and shit.”

Do you think I would shift into a couch. In the common room. Just to trap people who would sit down on the couch?"

"Honestly. I've never understood people.

This may be why I'm not sure I'm giving you the best advice, Tosh," he added after a moment. "But I think you should just go for it. You regret things you don't do more than you regret things you did."

"Well, here's the thing.

She TOLD you to, right? So...

Possibility 1: She wants you to, and it would be a dick move to NOT go for it.
Possibility 2: She doesn't want you to, and wants you to do some dramatic thing to win her back, and that would be a dick move in and of itself.
Possibility 3: She doesn't want you to, but feels she can't be with you for whatever reason, in which case you're a free man to do what you want."

“Will, I think there’s an untapped market for therapy couches that are actually the therapists,” Trev nodded.

“I mean. I vaguely know this girl from you and from the teams and stuff. And I think I’m in chemistry with her. And she seems nice and all but, Stephanie? Dude, if I hadn’t met an amazing, literally out of this world girl, I’d be crushing hard.”
