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.

I haven't asked, and she hasn't told me. I mean, I'm guessing her "death" had something to do with it.

I'm not getting in between the two of you. You're both my friends. If I ask her to lay off, I'll be taking your side, and if I don't, I'll be taking her side and I don't want to not be on either of your sides.

Ask Tim. Or both of them, if you don't want to take sides. It had a lot less to do with that than you might think.

And fine.

You're still mad at me. Great.

Look, is there any way I can make it up to you? I really was not trying to make you mad.

I'm not mad, Kon. Just--a little hurt. I'll get over it.

I don't want to hurt you either, Ciss. Look, I'm sorry.

Yeah, I know. It's just--you're one of my best friends and I'm upset and I thought I could talk to you, but it's fine.

And for whatever it's worth, I'm not trying to make you choose sides or stop liking her.

You can talk to me! I'll listen! I don't want you to be upset. You're one of my best friends too!

Thanks, I'm glad to hear it.

You don't want to talk about Steph, so--it's okay.

I don't want you to make me fell guilty for liking Steph. There's a difference.

..... ~~Ow.~~

Dammit, Cissie, what did I do now?

I'm sorry, I'm an insensitive guy and I say stuff that's clearly completely not the right thing to say.

Let's just drop it, okay?

*sigh*

I just can't win, can I? I don't even totally know why you're so pissed at me. I mean, what is it? Do you think that because I'm friends with Steph, I'll abandon you or something? I already told you I don't want to do that, and I wouldn't do it. Or are you worried that she's a threat to your relationship with Tim? Because I've heard him talk about you, and you definitely don't have anything to worry about.

Or am I just being insensitive? Do you want me to spend my next post talking about how awesome you are? Because I will, but Tim might get jealous. He's already threatened to beat me up twice.

I am not pissed at you. I told you I wasn't angry. I'm hurt, Kon, okay? I'm really--

I told you I want you to be happy. I told you you can be friends with her. I told you I'm not trying to make you choose sides. I meant all that.

You said you would listen, that I could talk to you, but you don't want to hear what I have to say because you think I'm trying to make you feel guilty about being friends with Steph. I'm not. I swear. I'm just--really upset right now and I could use my friends. I just need to talk to somebody, but no one wants to listen--no one wants to "choose sides" or "feel guilty," because everyone is so concerned about Steph. Tim would, but he's trying to be friends with her again and if he knew that she showed up and spied on me and stalked me and the things she said--that would hurt him, and it's the last thing I want and she doesn't need any more ammunition against me, that's for sure.

But you don't want to hear anything bad about her, and fine, so I tried to drop it--I really did try to just not talk about it, but you think I'm mad at you and I am not trying to make you feel guilty or stop liking her. Honestly, if that happened, I think she'd just make things harder for me. Maybe I just need my friend. You died and it screwed me up just as much as it did everyone else, but no one ever thinks about that. It's always been Tim and Cassie and Bart that everyone worries about first, and rightfully so, but--look, whatever.

I know you're not going to abandon me. And I trust Tim and I don't need to be told how awesome I am. But seriously, think about it--if I put something out there that said "I love Kon, but Bart" or Tim or the guy who bags groceries or maybe a better comparison is Match? Yeah. That stung, but it's not the end of the world. It's the rest of this that's really hurting.

You're one of my best and oldest friends, and I thought that if I needed you, I could count on you, but I can't about this. And you say you don't want to choose sides, and fine, but to me--when you say that--it feels like you are. And maybe I'm being stupid or possessive or whatever, but you just met her, and you've known me for years. But fine, we won't talk about her. I tried to drop it, didn't I? I don't know how I wound up being the bad guy here, I really don't.

But for the last time--I am not MAD or PISSED OFF at you. I'm hurt, and I know you didn't mean it, but I am. I'm sorry I ever said anything at all.

OOC: um...eep? Sorry! Floodgates opened! Can open, worms everywhere!

I'm sorry, Cissie. I didn't mean it like that at all. I mean, it's like I said, I've known you for years, and I already know you're awesome. Steph's new for me. It's a surprise that she's so cool because I've never really hung out with her before. I didn't know she's been spying on you or stalking you or whatever, and I will ask her about that because if she has been, that's really not cool.

I'm sorry it feels like I'm choosing sides by defending her, but I'd do the same thing if I heard her say bad things about you. I mean, you used the comparing me to Bart example, what if I started talking about how much I hate Bart or whatever? I guess that's different since we've both known Bart forever, but still.

You're not the bad guy here. I am, for hurting you, and I'm totally sorry. I know I'm not always the most sensitive guy around, and that's why I wouldn't let you drop it. I don't want to hurt you because you're one of my best friends and seeing you hurt because of me makes me feel like a dick.

So, again, I'm really, really sorry.

OOC: Heh, no worries. Well, Kon is worried. But that's all good and fun.

::sigh:: I'm sorry too, Kon. I don't want you to feel like a dick--you're not.

I can be. I don't really think about what I'm saying.

I know. But you don't mean to say the wrong thing, and you generally apologize after.

Well, thanks, Cissie. *small smile*

::smiles back:: You think maybe I can get a hug out of this?

*grin* Sure. *hug*

Unless you want a real hug, which can happen too, but it'll take a little longer.

::laughs:: A real one, doofus.

Well, Bart's on his date with Blue Beetle, I can fly over right now.

Sounds good to me!

...Date with Blue Beetle? Really?

Well, no, not really. They're just hanging out together or something. But far be it from me to let anything Bart does go unmocked.

OOC: Yes, really. But Kon doesn't know yet.
