[ he shrugs, looking away ]

Yeah, maybe. [ he obviously doesn't want to linger on that discussion, so: ] What are you gonna do?

[uncurtained]

[She hesitates for a moment, but:]

Break up with my boyfriend and go back to school, I guess.

[unpredicktable]

[ huh ]

I didn't know you had a boyfriend.

[uncurtained]

Yeah, there's a reason for that. He's an asshole.

[hm]

[unpredicktable]

What did he do?

[ why does he immediately go #concerned ]

cw for drug use

[uncurtained]

[With a sigh:]

Well, there was the time one of my friends walked in on him getting a blowjob from another girl at a party, and his excuse was that she said she had good coke and he was stressed. That's probably a good place to start.

[unpredicktable]

And you... kept dating him after that?

[uncurtained]

...I know that doesn't sound great. It's just - complicated, I guess.

[unpredicktable]

Sorry, I don't mean to sound judgmental. [ though he was a Little, the bitch ] Just. Trying to understand.

[uncurtained]

[She hesitates for another moment, knowing how this is going to sound, too, but:]

It can be hard to think that anybody better will come along, I guess. I haven’t... had the best track record at keeping anything that really made me happy in my life. And he kept promising that he was going to change.

[unpredicktable]

[ well NOW he feels like an ass. the look on his face really can't be described as anything but concerned, though he doesn't say anything about how that sounds. just. raises a hand up to Beck's shoulder ]

Hey. Look, obviously that's changed enough that you'd consider breaking up with him now, but... you know you deserve better than someone like that, right?

[uncurtained]

Yeah, I know.

[She sounds less sure than the words might imply, but.]

Sorry, I’m not trying to throw my own pity party or anything. I’m figuring it out.

[unpredicktable]

I didn't think you were. [ it's earnest ] But I'm serious. You're great, Beck.

[uncurtained]

[There's a soft, amused noise.]

I should be the one saying that to you. You're the one who's always there for me.

[unpredicktable]

[ dick doesn't bother holding back a smile ]

Too bad, I said it first.

[uncurtained]

I'm sorry, is this a gratefulness competition now?

[unpredicktable]

It's a compliment-off. I'm winning.

[ he's joking ]

[uncurtained]

Oh, really? Well... Have I mentioned lately how thoughtful and handsome you are?

[unpredicktable]

I've entrapped you into admitting it once or twice. [ he's... the worst. ] C'mon, you're too clever to think it'd be that easy to get one over me.

[ a boast AND a compliment all in one ]

[uncurtained]

Cite your sources, mister. When have I specifically used either of those words to refer to you?

[unpredicktable]

See? There's the smarts showing up. [ :3 ] Maybe not those words specifically, but you've implied it.

[uncurtained]

In that case, I'm pretty sure I've never told you how funny you are.

[unpredicktable]

Somehow, no one ever has.

[ dick is hilarious and no one appreciates him ]

[uncurtained]

Well, you are. You’re funny and sweet, and... I know I’ve said this before, but - I like you.

[It’s true that she’s said it before, but there’s a different significance to the way she says it now.]

[unpredicktable]

[ dick is smart, but he's also dumb, and so there's a pause, and then dick's shrugging with a grin ]

You're pulling out all the stops to win, huh? [ he knows that's not it, but he's also-- hm. ]
