Day 3, overnight

[snackcakeordeath]

[Just before the time votes generally get announced, the smoke alarm in the basement starts giving an ear-splitting buzz. Hope you weren't trying to get some quiet time in your dressing room, since for a good five, ten minutes, it is not very quiet.

[Then, thankfully, the alarm shuts off abruptly. A moment later, Little Debbie herself comes shrieking over the monitors. She looks furious.]

What in the world do you devil squares think you're doing!? You had to do this today? Really? First, the cold fishest of dates, then the world's most boringest voting, and now you're messing up our stuff? Don't you know what all we're dealing with here!?

Seriously, if it wasn't such an important day, you guys'd be in sooo much trouble! So give your praises for my my sweet fucking demeanor-slash-absolute lack of time right now for dealing with this dollar bin garbage, and start getting your keisters in gear! Romance is a legitimate genre, just look at the book sales! And I want a piece of that Fabio pie! So you nutty buddies are gonna get out there, you're gonna date, there's gonna be some sparks, and we're gonna get top trending numbers tomorrow, or else!

[The girl stomps her foot, near tantrum; Swiss Miss takes over.]

Whatever you think you've done, it did not work. No more mini-marshmallows until you improve. Marshmallows are for closers.



PS, Kimi and Elise are dead.

You're not going to fake it?

[Watching him work.]

[concentrates on that for a beat before answering. he's efficient and thorough, wrapping up extra so that it'll hopefully not bleed through again]

...Others can do what they want. I'm not interested in false feelings.

[abruptly, he smooths a hand lightly over his bandaged arm]

There, that should serve for now. Try not to strain it, and if the pain increases, say something.

...

[Thoughtlessly catches his hand in his own as it lowers down his arm.]

.........Ah. [Let's go of his hand just as quickly.]

I... appreciate all of your aid.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

!!!

[his voice most certainly does not crack when he attempts to speak, and if his ears seem to look rather red it is surely a trick of the light]

Just...make an attempt to not need it next time.

...Was there anything else you needed?

[you_like_ike]

...No. Not at the moment. I'd be willing to beg for your help when it comes to advice and other matters, but right now you've done more than enough for me...

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Willing to beg for me, huh? Wouldn't that be a sight.

[.........he hadn't really considered how that sounded until the words came out of his mouth and uhh is it dry in here? He looks away, swallows, wets his lips]

Anyway, fine. But do consider that if there's something other than advice that you want, you can always ask and give me the chance to say no, rather than taking the option away completely.

...

[Looks back at his face.]

...Understood. And I won't try to brush off help that you offer.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[he hopes?? that his expression is carefully neutral and not flushed at all]

...Good. I don't offer to just anyone.
