John needed cheering up.

[oomfies]

[ A long, long, disbelieving silence. ]

he came to u for that??

[ludomania]

I don't know, he just wanted to talk to someone. So I tried to distract him with something else. Sorry.

Have you talked to him?

[oomfies]

[ FELIPE? She was wrong to judge you so quickly.. You are so supportive to her boyfriend. But also 1) she is definitely going to take that apology because she still believes she was Slightly Wronged™, and 2) she will be going radio silent for a little bit, before randomly showing up with: ]

yeah rn

[ A beat. ]

sort of.. i guess

[ludomania]

Not in a great mood, is he?

[ maybe Lottie should talk to someone else instead. ]

[oomfies]

[ She knows why he isn't— John is trapped and suffering and stuck. It also doesn't help she didn't humor him, indulge in telling him the sweeter things of her days here (which would all be lies, because the only sweet thing she's done is cut tail holes in some pants). ]

kinda
was he like that w/ you?

[ludomania]

Yeah, he called me a presumptuous fuck.

[ Felipe laughs like it'd been said as a joke even though it definitely wasn't. he's got no reason to hide what John told him, but he doesn't want to make it sound like an actual fight either. that just raises too many questions he doesn't feel like answering right now. ]

[oomfies]

[ Hmm. ]

whaaatt lol
what'd you do

[ Deliberately light, and not necessarily cheeky in the way it'd usually be when Lottie is goading for information (because she is, because she thinks she knows why John called him that— there's no way he'd do it unprompted, after all!). ]

[ludomania]

I told him to be careful when he's like this.

[ part of the truth, anyway. ]

[oomfies]

not bc you have a crush on me or smth?

[ludomania]

I have a crazy crush on you, Lottie.

[ he's laughing. ]

[oomfies]

[ A moment or two of pause, because she's not surprised (it's her ego talking here). A lot of people probably have super weird and unrealistic crushes on her or something! But also a lot of them aren't Felipe, who has already had the advantage of eating her out. Of talking to her, personally. ]

so john WAS right
since when???

[ludomania]

He told you that?

I don't know, I thought we had a good time together.

[oomfies]

[ Among other things, she wants to say. But that'd just worry him, and that's not what she wants. She's thinking she wants him to wax poetic about her. Give a nice distraction from the vaguely dejected way she feels from how it all went. ]

we did..

[ And despite her intentions, she means it when she says it. Doesn't mind letting some of the warm pink fuzzy goodness she feels as she reminisces about what they did bleed through (because all of his weird has been wringed out, smoothed over for the pleasant experience it was: Lottie having to do nothing but be catered to by big strong Felipe). ]

but you also tried to wife me up BEFORE soooo

[ludomania]

[ on his part the connection feels more intense, but not quite fully representative of his sudden obsession with her. just warm and wanting. ]

Maybe it's like in that story you told me. The comedy? Where the man falls for the friend he's trying to help?

[ he's cast himself as what he thinks it's the lead, the man, not knowing that in romantic comedies the main character is usually a woman. ]

[oomfies]

[ She ignores the sheer volume of it because in the end, the confirmation of how much he wants her makes her feel better about how she royally fucked up talking to John. ]

that's more romantic than comedy

[ Also, she'd be the protagonist, but it was so long ago they even talked about this.. She's lucky (happy?) he even remembered that when even she forgot. ]

romcom is like
ig..

you found out i was a monster and you didnt like me. but knew my one secret
so you HAD to help me hide it in stupid ass levels of hijinks
bc ppl hate monsters
and we realize the real monster of all was society
or something

[ludomania]

I'm not sure I follow, but if you think it's good, I'll have to agree with you. I trust your taste.

[oomfies]

you shouldddd!!
historically ive proven i have great taste so 💕

[ludomania]

Honestly, Lottie, you're too cute.

[oomfies]

i am?

[ludomania]

I don't know how to handle it.

[oomfies]

that down bad huh lol

[ludomania]

Yeah. I think I may be in trouble.

[oomfies]

[ Begrudgingly, John was right. Maybe she should enjoy other peoples (Felipe's) company for a while. She doesn't feel sad anymore— just giddy and amused. Enough to feel like ignoring the real feelings simmering underneath is worth it. ]

ooooo
so you like trouble

[ludomania]

I love trouble.

[ girl, run. ]
