21.2 What makes you happy/laugh?

I'm happy that Bart's moved in with me. I missed him. And he wasn't taking care of himself. I don't care how grown up he is now, I'm glad he's somewhere where I can keep an eye on him. I mean, sure he can take care of himself, but how do I know that he will? He was living in a motel when I found him! A frigging motel! And I still can't shake the feeling that if I leave him alone for a minute, or blink or anything, he'll run away. He's gotta stop worrying that we like him. When is he gonna realize that we all love him and we want him around and I wouldn't have invited him to freaking live with me if I didn't!

Still, it's pretty cool sharing a house with your best friend. Maybe we can convince Tim to move in with us too. That would be sweet.

Steph makes me laugh. How did I not hang out with her back before I died? She's so much fun! I mean, she's kinda like Tim, only hotter. And not nearly as weird. And less likely to become an evil scientist. (No offense, Tim.)

Man, I cannot see how Tim let her go. I mean, I love Cissie. She's one of my best friends, and she and Tim are apparently doing absolutely great.

But man, Steph.

You forget. As did I, for all intents and purposes. Besides, Tim likes me better. So there. *nyah*

Of course I'm kidding. I may be the fastest kid alive but I'm not insensitive.

I didn't forget! You'd still be killing a guy who's just come back which would negate the just-been-dead amnesty.

Heh...fastest kid alive. *smirk*

But then, you see, THEN I shall woo him with my charming wit and "stringy body" *glares* and we shall run off together. Jaime and Cissie can come too. It will be glorious. I hear France is beautiful this time of year.

Oh god, must be have this conversation again? It was bad enough that I had to have it with Jaime's friends while he was there, dying of embarrassment, I really don't think I'm up to having the same conversation for the third time today.

Ah, but will you woo Superman too? He'll miss me!

I like Jaime's friends already.

Umm, no. I think Clark can manage to deal on his own.

Jaime's friend Paco reminds me a little too much of you. It's rather frightening. Also, Brenda threatened to eat my liver. Me! Can you believe it? I'm very non-threatening. I was quite confused.

Liver's pretty nutritious. I like his friends. But you still haven't managed to impress me with Jaime's personality. What's he like?

I know you, you'll accuse me of gushing anytime I say something nice about him.

Well. He's from a small town, he's got a little sister, his mom's a nurse and his dad owns a mechanic shop place. He tries to get them to let him to help out, but they're all "Nope! We want you to have a normal childhood," so he spends a lot of time with Brenda and Paco. He grew up reading all about superheroes (I think he fanboyed them a little) and was thusly quite surprised when a piece of alien-tech decided to fuse itself to his spine. Instead of being trained, at least a little, or knowing what he could and could not do, Jaime was thrown into battle with armor that decided when it would become armor, letting him figure out how to work it while also trying not to die.

He's nice, and funny, and considerate, and good with his sister, and likes video games, and really cute. And I really like him, so don't go threatening him and screw this up for me, okay?

So long as you don't go all Tim-talking-about-Cissie on me, I'll be nice.

Aw, come on! That sounds like a biography of his life! Gimme personal details!

C'mon, his friend got to threaten to eat your liver! Who's gonna threaten to eat his liver? Not me, actually. I hate liver. But still!

*rolls eyes* Fine.

He likes pepperoni on his pizza, totally cheats when he plays video games, and has conversations with the alien metal embedded in his back that only he can hear. He's got this strange mix of a southern drawl and a Hispanic accent, his nose scrunches up when he laughs, and I can't decide if his goatee is adorable or ridiculous. He teases his sister... Look, I'm bad at this, okay? Can we just say that I like him, he likes me, and I'd like to keep it that way?

Please Kon, I'm serious. I'd really like this to work out.

Also, I'm sure Tim would threaten him with cannibalism if you ask nicely.

Bart, I'm not gonna ruin your relationship. What kind of best friend would I be if I did?

I know, I know. I think I'm just projecting my paranoia onto you. I've never really been very good with relationships, and it scares me a little.

Brenda's gonna eat my liver! This is terrible! Kon, you have to protect me. She's scary.

Don't worry, Bart, what kind of best friend would I be if I let her eat your liver?

Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm serious though, she's scary.

Also, if I start being stupid and unconsciously try to sabotage this, smack me, okay? Sometimes I think I need it.

Stop worrying, Bart! It'll be okay. Breathe.

I am breathing! Everything just moves faster for me, you know that. I'm having a relatively sedate freak-out over here.

Heh. But yeah. Thanks.

Freak.

Seriously, it'll be great. I get to be best man at the wedding. I call it.

We only started dating today, moron. We aren't getting married.

Anyway, I don't think I can marry him whether I want to or not. I never really got divorced...

Oh, damn.

Uh, what do you do about that? I mean, I don't think your marriage license would be exactly valid here, but still...

I don't know. To be honest, I never really thought about it. I mean, our marriage was a sham at best towards the end, but... I don't know, Kon. I didn't think it would be an issue.

It shouldn't be. I don't think it is an issue at all then.

I dunno. I just always feel so guilty. With Jaime, I can... forget for a while. Things don't seem so bad, y'know?

That's good. Seriously, Bart, I tease you, but I really am supportive here. You know that, right?

Oh Kon. You make my tiny, stringy heart flutter so.

Yeah, I know. I'm just kinda... I dunno. I have no idea what I'm talking about. But I appreciate your support.

Hey, relationships are hard. Trust me, I know.

Good luck. Like I said, I'm here for you, buddy.

Heh. Buddy. You're crazy. But I wouldn't have you any other way.
