I'd say there's about an 89% chance you won't like it.
[Flailing as it hits his face. He tosses it away.]
That's because you're out of shape for laughing.

As if I need to be in shape for it. It wouldn't even be a problem if you weren't trying to tickle me to death.
If it gets you to laugh and smile, then it's worth it.
[Okay, he can't contain it.]
Dirk, I'm sorry to say it, truly I am, but...your hair...it's kind of messed up.
[Okay, he can't contain it.]
Dirk, I'm sorry to say it, truly I am, but...your hair...it's kind of messed up.
What?
[And he reaches up to check before he can even think to stop himself.]
Fuck. [Time to drop everything and fix it.]

[Jake can't help grinning. Oh, his poor friend.]
Dirk, it looks just fine!
Dirk, it looks just fine!
[His perfect anime hair is a big deal, okay.]
It's messed up, that means it's not fine.
It's messed up, that means it's not fine.
You're only making it worse, you know. Would you let me fix it for you?
[He's not about to let someone touch his hair, except without a mirror, he's really not getting anywhere with it, so...]
Fine. I guess you can't do any worse.
Fine. I guess you can't do any worse.
[He gives Dirk a mock huff.]
Really, you're acting as if you're attending the funeral of your hair.
[Jake moves so that he's in front of his friend and starts fixing it up. If anything, he's doing a fairly decent job until Dirk can get a mirror and be all "professional" on it.]

I'm hardly that dramatic.
[Really, there's nothing he can do except trust that Jake's doing an okay job. And watch his face as he fixes it. Really, it's a good thing he's wearing his sunglasses, and that Jake's attention is on his hair. Otherwise this would be pretty awkward.]

No, you're absolutely correct. You're far more dramatic than that.
[Yeah, Jake is pretty focused on this hair business. He sits back when he's got it at least straightened somewhat out to Dirk's normal style.]
There! That should hold until you can do it yourself.

[Jake is a tease and Dirk needs to stop putting himself in situations like this. Instead, he moves back and starts to turn away once Jake is finished.
Being a teenager with a crush is hard, okay.
He almost goes to touch his hair, but thinks better of it.]
You tryin' to compare me to Shakespeare, English? Sorry to say the only way I'm like the play is my sick mastery of language.
Thanks.

Well, so far, he's continued to be the greatest playwright and poet, so yes, I would pay you that compliment!
[And Jake needs to stop being clueless about these situations he gets them into.]
Anytime.
[And Jake needs to stop being clueless about these situations he gets them into.]
Anytime.
[God, Jake, you're going to make him blush.]
I'm flattered.
I'm flattered.
[Jake would pay a lot to see that. He grins at Dirk.]
I should head out to train. See you at dinner?
I should head out to train. See you at dinner?
Yeah. See you.
[The moment Jake's gone, Dirk flops down on the bed and stares at the ceiling for a while. Emotions are hard. Liking Jake is hard. Everything is hard, and no one understands.]

Amazingly, all signs point to no.
For once, I do not have a multitude of irons in the fire to be tending.
What's up?

The reasons I'm not on a hot date today are many and varied, but it suffices to say that even any hypothetical hot dates would not be occurring today.
Any reason for that?
Any reason for that?
why?
bcuz i got done with it 1 day
even worse cuz the first person in like
so damn long that it depresses me just thinking about it
goes out on a date w/ me and then we both get stabbed and killed in the middle of it
tends to put a huuuuuuge damper on any couples feelsy romance holidays

That would do it.
Jesus.
Does that mean you don't feel that way about anyone, any more?
Or have you just given up looking?

Not like you can die here.
Whether Karma has it out for you can't change that.
Are you drunk?
No, let me rephrase. How drunk are you?
