[allmadeofstars]

Because he hurt you?

[ticking]

We hurt each other. It's our nature.

[allmadeofstars]

No it's not.

[ticking]

Really? And how would you know that?

[allmadeofstars]

I wouldn't agree that it's in anybody's nature to hurt the ones they love.

[ticking]

Hoh, then if it isn't nature, what's the excuse of every person you know, boy?

[allmadeofstars]

. . . I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I just don't think it's okay to accept it.

[ticking]

So of course you don't accept it yourself.

[allmadeofstars]

He's going to go back to how he usually is, and he's going to hate himself for hurting you. So, what are you going to do about it?

[ticking]

We're not talking about him, boy.

[reaching up for. something. to pull you down with. tie? shirt?]

[allmadeofstars]

[. . . lets himself be pulled by the shirt, juuust a little]

That's what's between you and me, so that's what we're talking about.

[ticking]

He doesn't have anything to do with you and me.

[doesn't do anything with it but hold you generally within eyecontact]

[allmadeofstars]

[shifts slightly, then, and just allows it]

Do you seriously believe that?

[ticking]

Why would you? Is it that hard to separate yourself? I'm not interested in you coming around just to clean up his messes.

[allmadeofstars]

And I'm not interested in doing so.

[reaches out and lightly puts a hand on Ticky's head :\]

[ticking]

...you know if you're here to offer comfort there's another sort I'm more interested in.

[allmadeofstars]

Not happening. Keep your towel on.

[ticking]

[snort, but seems pretty content to keep smoking]

You're avoiding questions about your double. And if this isn't about cleaning up his messes, I don't know what it is.

[allmadeofstars]

You seem to imply that you know what I'm feeling most of the time. You can't figure it out?

[ticking]

No, not this time.

[allmadeofstars]

. . . it's strange, isn't it? Things can be pretty easy until they start applying to yourself.

[ticking]

...Like?

[allmadeofstars]

. . . ahh, I can understand him really well, you know? The other Allen. But if it were me—ah . . .

[ticking]

[i'll wait while you get whole sentences out]

[allmadeofstars]

[noooo I rely on people interrupting so I don't have to finish my own reluctant thoughts :(]

. . . he really loves himself right now, you know?
