[donotlick]

Oh, yeah? And why d'you think that?

[ What dumb shit are you into this time, Han. ]

[foo_bar]

'Cause I brought it, 'cause why the fuck not.

[he's just feeling Bad, and fuck it, he messed up.]

[donotlick]

Yeah, I can relate, dude.

[ Hank snorts. ]

So what's got you in the drinking mood, huh? The death? The robot thing? Megumi being Vivienne?

[foo_bar]

Fucking all of it.

[he almost reaches for another drink, but he also knows... he's a lightweight. He needs to wait.]

[donotlick]

Yeah, no shit.

[ Go for it, dude. Hank's a little jealous, but he just focuses on his promise to Connor and that helps. A little. ]

Plus, hey, it's not all bad, yeah? We've both got Connor. [ Uh ] Not in the same way, obviously, but you've gotta admit he helps.

[foo_bar]

Uh...

[he looks a little awkward at that conversation starter. Fuck. right.

He'd almost forgotten, in the rush of everything that week.]

I mean... Yes... Sorry. This is awkward because of me.

[donotlick]

It's fine. Honest.

[ Hank waves a hand, dismissing it. Look, he's very good at suppressing his emotions. It's fine. It comes with age. You just pretend to be cool with it and keep on trucking. ]

I actually figured I should've given you this talk instead of the, uh, last. Thing. You know. Which is to say...

[donotlick]

[ Hank leans forward in his seat, his face a smile but his eyes dead serious. ]

If you hurt him, Han, I don't care what rules this shitty place has. I don't care how good friends we are. I'll fucking end you.

[ He pauses in silence, letting it stretch on for a few seconds before leaning back. ]

[donotlick]

But Connor's a really swell guy, ain't he? He hasn't told me how things are going between you two, but I'm guessing no news is good news, yeah?

[foo_bar]

[what... has he done....

he just stares at him, silent for a long time. he needs a good answer, to stand up for himself.

somehow...]

.... Sorry, I have no clue how to respond to this.

[this is good.]

[donotlick]

[ Hank starts laughing. Oh, Han, you are such a fucking nerd. ]

What, this your first time dating somebody or what? I'm just setting shit straight.

[ He smirks again, that same look in his eyes. ]

I want you to think about me every time you think about doing something or saying something that could hurt Connor. And when you do, and my face pops into your head, you're gonna think long and hard about whether or not that thing you're gonna do or say is really that important.

[ He shrugs!!! This is fine. ]

But I'm sure you'd never do anything to hurt him, right? So we're fine.

[foo_bar]

I. No, that wasn't the plan.

[he finally exhales and laughs a little nervously, his cheeks turning red.]

But this is my first time dating an American Android, I'm claiming ignorance.

[donotlick]

[ Good. Fuck, why is he cute though. Why is Hank surrounded by all these hot twinks? Jesus. He laughs it off. ]

Yeah, well it's my first time being friends with an android, period, so I feel you there. It's weird enough getting him to talk about his feelings, can't imagine what it's like when you're sleeping with 'im.

[ Ah, but he does imagine. This thread is getting really accidentally thirsty. ]

[foo_bar]

Speaking of... Hey Hank, q for you.

[it's hitting. at least a little bit.]

[donotlick]

[ is it now? ]

Yeah, what is it?

[foo_bar]

Why are you so jealous of me and Connor...?

[donotlick]

[ Hank splutters. ]

I'm not-- I'm not jealous.

[ is that why you got an eden club ad in your regains, hank ]

[foo_bar]

Reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaallyyyyyyyyyyyy.

1/2

[donotlick]

[ Hank glares...................... don't call him out like this?? ]

[donotlick]

Don't fucking start. Do you seriously wanna hear a guy like me say I've got a fucking crush on an android? That you're currently fucking, by the way?

[foo_bar]

[god, he puts his head down.]

I got punched for this, so's the least you can do is tell me why. You told me you hated androids, that they were dangerous.

How was I supposed to know?

[donotlick]

Yeah, well I wasn't exactly asking for it, either!

[ He grumbles!! He's blushing too, this is awful?? ]

The key word here is hated. I didn't know any androids before, now I know Connor's not some fucking toaster. It's not the same!

[foo_bar]

[he just... sighs and laughs at the same time.]

Shit.

[that's all he's got, Hank. Literally, all he's got.]

[donotlick]

Just shut up. I don't want to talk about this.

[ And yet, he keeps talking. He can't stop? ]

Do I seriously have to remind you that you're the one fucking him? What, are you trying to taunt me? "Let's make fun of the old man who's got a creepy crush on the android twink." Yeah, ha-ha, hilarious.

[foo_bar]

Ok. Okaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy.

We-- we can drop it. Itsh fine!
