[fireshow]

i'm sure you do

[guylining]

look think of it this way

caleb is absolutely the least touchy feely member of my circle that i could've sent your way

[fireshow]

i'm not interested in being touchy feely with your crowd though

[guylining]

you don't have to cuddle to be friends

look, at least this way you know each other

[fireshow]

i'm not looking to be friends with them ok
but sure
i know of him
ok

[guylining]

look you don't have to be friends with him ok

i mean i'm not gonna ask him not to be nice to you

but it's ok

[fireshow]

i know

[fireshow]

i know he's your boyfriend and all
nothing against him
i just don't play well with others of people i care about
not really

[guylining]

yeah well

i know

but like. john it hurt you when they didn't think to come to you
and if they don't really know you
at least in passing

i want for you to be in their loop. even if you're not in their circle.

[fireshow]

keep it to if something happens to you
that's all

[guylining]

okay, like you don't have to be friends

[fireshow]

does that bother you?

[guylining]

no, you don't have to be friends with anyone

but like he's important to me
so if he's being nice you don't have to be a dick to him either

[fireshow]

i try not to
but i get frustrated

[guylining]

is it just because he's with me?

[fireshow]

i'm not you nate
i don't need a coven or circle of people in my life or around me
you and caliban are more than i've ever had even before coming here

[guylining]

listen

you went through a lot of shit before you came here
people didn't treat mutants right
you were in danger, you had to fight to protect your own

that's not how it was for me back home. but it's kind of how it was for caleb
he would understand better than anyone what it's like to have a very small circle

you've got more in common than you think

and being used to a small circle doesn't mean it always has to be that way

[fireshow]

i can't handle that right now
alec's gone again
shit happened

[ he died.. still not talking about that ]

despite what my handsome good looks might show
i'm barely keeping it together on a good day

[guylining]

okay
that's cool, and i get it
you have to handle what your handling in your own way

people will still be there when things get better

[fireshow]

like i said
you and caliban are more than i've ever had
try not to worry about how many friends i do or don't have
it's really dorky of you
but i still love you

[guylining]

i love you too

john, you know if you want to talk about that other stuff, i'm here.

[fireshow]

talk about what?
that i failed quota?

[guylining]

wait you what???

[fireshow]

guess there's a first time for everything

[guylining]

literally how is that possible you live with caliban
