[ his fingers clench under the table and dolph straightens. ]

You moved on pretty quick when you thought I was dead.

[offeringchaos]

I'm not a bad liar. We both know that by now, I think.

[And maybe he shouldn't, but--]

I'm not dead. At least not here.

[laserhawk]

I took our breakup seriously when you shot me and left me for dead.

[offeringchaos]

... So maybe I should leave then.

[He levels Dolph with a look.]

[laserhawk]

For fuck's sake.

What do you want me to say, Alex? How can we even make this work?

[offeringchaos]

I don't want you to say anything!

[Well, that's not exactly true, but--]

What do you want to work, exactly? You said yourself, you got a boyfriend. Gotten enough comments from people who don't think I should be around you, so I can't imagine they're not telling you the same shit.

So, why don't you tell me what you want? You said it yourself, you're trying to make your own choices here.

[laserhawk]

I don't know! I just — I don't want to cut you out. I don't want you gone.

[offeringchaos]

Well, I'm not-- gone. We're both still in this damned city, aren't we?

[laserhawk]

We can't — I can't give you a second chance without being able to trust you.

[offeringchaos]

And are you ever going to be able to do that?

[laserhawk]

[ is he? he doesn't know. but chris had . . . told him to keep an open heart. ]

I'm willing to try.

[offeringchaos]

Well, then. You know where to find me, whenever you want to.

[laserhawk]

. . . Yeah. I won't forget.

[offeringchaos]

For now, let's get back to drinking?

Unless you need to get home to that boyfriend of yours.

[laserhawk]

[ he sighs. ]

Yeah. Fuck it. Let's drink.

[offeringchaos]

There we go. That's the right attitude.

[He teases lightly, flashing a grin.]

[laserhawk]

[ dolph huffs lightly but the corners of his lips twitch. ]

Just leave the baggage at the door?

[offeringchaos]

You got it. Think we can do it, babe?

[Whatever-- happens from here on out, he's not actually sure. He's also still reeling from the whole new boyfriend thing. Just a tiny bit.]

[laserhawk]

Guess it can't hurt to try.

[ maybe something better will come out of it. what does he have to lose? ]

[offeringchaos]

If nothing else, at least we get to be drunk, right?

[Not the fairest trade off, but... it's what they've got right now.]

[laserhawk]

[ dolph chuckles. ]

Your favorite pastime.

[offeringchaos]

I don't hear you complaining.

[He teases lightly, flashing a grin.]

[laserhawk]

No. Guess it's mine too.

[ so many of his interests stemmed from alex. it's hard to tell where alex ended and dolph began. even after death. ]

[offeringchaos]

[He leans in, nudging a shoulder against Dolph playfully.]

Then, come on... don't fall behind!

[laserhawk]

As if I would.

[ he grabs his glass, taking a long sip. ]
