>[Cheer up, emo kid.]

Oh, Steve. [Gently pats him on the back] You've still got me. And the friends you've made here.

[He sighs. Honestly, Steve doesn't like being a constant downer, it's just kind of how things go when you're an undead teenage boy with crippling PTSD and a doomed crush on his closest and sometimes only friend in the world.]

I guess.

[pause. Mildly idiotic half-a-smile]

It's enough for me just to fight for you, Claire.

[Oh Jesus.]
[Ha ha ha yeah and uh LOOK, A BEAR!]
[Funny you mention that... Steve... <3]
[Cool... so, uh, I banged Leon the other day.]

>[Oh Jesus.]

[AWKWARD WARNING WEE-OOO WEE-OOO] That's... sweet of you to say, Steve.

[That brings a broader mildly idiotic smile to his face and gives him the courage to look her in the eye.]

Well, it's true. You know I'd do anything for you. [APPROACHING CRITICAL AWKWARD]

[Locate kid-gloves]
[Locate nearest exit]
[Fake hearing disability and pretend he didn't say that]
[Pile drive him in the feelings]

>[Locate kid-gloves]

I know you would, Steve. But... You really don't need to. [This is just going to end badly she can feel it.]

[He is blissfully, pathetically, tragically immune to that feeling.]

Come on. You'd do the same for me, remember?

[Awkward stare]
[Awkward throat-clearing]
[Awkward abrupt exit]
[Just plain awkward]

>[Awkward stare]

...

......

...........

Steve, there's a point where you need to realize... I don't feel the same way you do about me. I would do anything to keep you safe, yes, but... I mean it differently when I say it.

[Long pause]

...

......

.........

[Longer pause]

...............

[Eyebrows raise just slightly]

Huh?

[Pause so long it took two tags to do it, not that GG forgot to put options or anything]

... what do you...

[Further awkward staring]
[GET A CLUE, GINGER]
[Proceed to break his heart]
[No hablo inglais, señor! Donde esta la biblioteca?]

~~[No hablo inglais, señor! Donde esta la biblioteca?]~~

>[Proceed to break his heart]

[Winces, presses a hand to her forehead. No way this is gonna go smooth]

I'm dating Leon, Steve.

[Pause accompanied by a blank stare of shock]

I-

I knew that! [No, he didn't.]

[So red in the face it's hard to tell where his hair stops]

Hah, I mean- it was kind of obvious, right? Who didn't know?

[Indicate that he, for one, didn't]
[Delicately call him on his face-saving bullshit]
[Play along in his face-saving bullshit]
[Hastily suggest you go out for ice cream, oh wait, we were gonna go as a family with Sherry, er...]

>[Play along in his face-saving bullshit]

[Quietly] So, you understand that I don't love you like that?

Well yeah! Obviously! [Lying, badly, out his ass]

I mean, it's like- seven years and all, it's not- I wouldn't expect-

Makes total sense. Yeah.

[Express relief since you were hoping he wasn't entertaining any of those delusions]
[Break into frantic ego-stroking in an attempt to save his pride]
[Attempt subject change before his head explodes]
[Psychically break fourth wall, remind him it's all good, his mun is a sadistic hurt/comfort fanatic and he's got a ship lined up]

>[Break into frantic ego-stroking in an attempt to save his pride]

It's not that you're not a great guy, but you're just not the kind of guy for me. I do value your friendship very much, though.

[Arms crossed, focusing very hard on that window-like fixture again, or alternatively, the wall]

I get it! I totally get it, seriously. It's really not a big deal. I didn't mean anything stupid by that, you know?

[Oh Steve, you are a terrible liar]
[Ah ha ha oh yes, silly misunderstanding...]
[Are you feeling angst? Do you need help adjusting? Should I track down a counselor?]
[I'm sorry, Steve. It's just that Leon is cooler than you in every way and also not a twit...]

>[Ah ha ha oh yes, silly misunderstanding...]

[Weak smile] Of course.

[All too well aware she's humoring him there, he starts inching towards the nearest exit.]

Yeah. So that's. Yeah.I'm gonna go. Crawl in a vent or. An airlock or. Something. For a while. Week or so.

[Wish him luck in this endeavor]
[Damage control, damage control!]
[Offer to get him a beer or something later]
[Silently witness the flight of the majestic lesser emo]
