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. ]

[uncurtained]

...That’s not quite it.

[But she’s quick to follow that up.]

It’s okay if you don’t feel the same. I get it.

[unpredicktable]

[ ah. he looks a little-- unsure ]

No, I... It's not... quite that. [ he runs a hand through his hair ] This isn't a-- "it's not you, it's me" speech. Even though it might sound like it. I like you, Beck. And maybe if some things were different... [ dick. gestures around them ] But there's... kind of a lot going on.

[It looks for a moment like she’s deciding what to say, but:]

You’re definitely not wrong about that. [So:] I get it.

[unpredicktable]

[ he looks like he kind of wants to say something else, but he. closes his mouth ]

I'm sorry.

[uncurtained]

I said I get it.

[And she does, but that doesn’t change the rush of emotion she’s feeling all the same. She takes a second, but after a pause:]

...What were you going to say?

[unpredicktable]

[ ... he looks away and shakes his head ]

Nothing. I-- do you want me to go?

[uncurtained]

...Right.

[While she was upset before, she was at least trying to do her best not to sound like it. Now, though, both her expression and her voice make it clear enough she thinks he isn’t telling her the truth, and she sighs.]

Whatever you want. I’m going to read for a while, though, so. Probably boring for you.

[unpredicktable]

[ ... dick shoves his hands in his pockets, looking away. ]

Right. Boring. I-- [ he sighs ] I'll see you around, Beck.

[ bye :( ]
