[homosexuals]

...That was different.

Imagine that.

...What happened? Did he do something to you?

[holyposition]

No it wasn't.

No, he didn't do anything. But he thinks he's the actual devil. He’s sick in the head.

[homosexuals]

Yes it was.

At this rate, maybe he is. Wolfmen, vampires, demons...what else can they throw at us?

[holyposition]

Unless he's secretly in charge of this whole thing, I don't think so.

I know you. Seeing someone grab my ass got you to make a scene, I can only imagine where you'll drag me if you see me with someone you know I've slept with.

[homosexuals]

If they're making you happy...

And doing it better than me, I wouldn't take that away from you.

[holyposition]

It's too early to know.

I don't know if it's better. Easier, maybe. You make things more complicated than they should be.

[homosexuals]

I'm not - it's not on purpose. How can it be that easy after everything we've been through?

[holyposition]

I know. Even the most perfect man alive wouldn't have our history. For better or for worse.

I want you to know I'm not looking for a replacement for you. That won't be possible. But if there are things I need that you still can't give me, I have to at least consider it.

[homosexuals]

I want to be the one to give them to you. To prove I can.

Do what you need to. Just - don't write me off. It's a lot to ask, and you'd be right to tell me to fuck right off and say no, but I'm asking anyway.

[holyposition]

I want you to, too.

I wouldn't have let you sneak back into the other room if I was writing you off. I could hear you unpacking.

[homosexuals]

Yeah?

Let me ask you - did you have that on all day, or did you put it on while you heard me rummaging around in there?

[holyposition]

That's all I've ever wanted. You just haven't been able to. But you should prove me wrong. I want you to.

You said three weeks. I was expecting you.

[homosexuals]

I will, Skippy. Mark my words.

Mm. It was a very nice welcome. Might be favorite yet.

[holyposition]

Got a peek of purple on your neck at the gym. Sorry.

[ he’s not. ]

[homosexuals]

I'm not.

And I know you aren't, either.

Turnabout is fair play, though. Wear those short shorts to the gym tomorrow. I wanna see the mess I made on your inner thigh.

[holyposition]

[ Being told what to wear should not be giving him a thrill like that, but... ]

Deal. I think there's one on the back of my thigh, too.

[homosexuals]

Even better.

...See you in the morning, Skip.
