you of all people willingly played a team sport?
and they elected you captain?

[calloused]

Go fuck yourself?
I didn't call you out on how unrealistic it was that you stopped hiding in the corners of the library long enough to run track.

Why were you expelled?

[confiscated]

at least it was more in character for me to play a solo sport

Nice dodge, but we're staying where we are. How'd you get to be captain?
ur telling me ur actually good at basketball?

[calloused]

I feel like you're the one dodging.

[ DOESN'T ANSWER OUT OF SPITE ]

[confiscated]

Well I don't want to talk about that, so.

[calloused]

[ fair enough. ]

You brought it up.

I liked basketball. Wanted to play professionally, for a while. Didn't really see it through.
I left school at sixteen, never really went back. Haven't played since. Might suck at it now.
You have anyone from home here with you?

[confiscated]

just wanted to know if u knew the school

but no, nobody's here. that I know of, anyway
you?

[calloused]

[ derek hesitates. he could say no, keep his privacy, cement those walls between them that he's supposedly trying to break down. he's pretty burned when it comes to sharing too much information about himself - fucked him up at home, already kind of fucked him over here - but.

not like this is a secret worth lying about. ]

Yeah.
He's a dick, though.

[ which is kind of a shitty thing to say about his almost-friend who he genuinely-mostly-sorta-likes, but that's where we are. ]

[confiscated]

lucky you.

[Hm. Didn't predict this feeling.]

he a dom too?

[calloused]

No.

Sub. Stiles. Little older than you.
Specky kid. Too many moles. Weird nose.
Loud. No friends.

[confiscated]

sounds almost like you don't dislike him as much as you let on.
he contracted?

[calloused]

Weird way to interpret "too many moles", but okay.

You'd have to ask him, not me.

[confiscated]

figured it was easy to assume since you know about all his excessive moles

[calloused]

You obviously haven't met him. You would know what I'm talking about if you had.
He has the facial equivalent of a ring of coffee left on a dirty tablecloth. If he stood next to a quail egg with googly eyes on it, I wouldn't be able to tell the two of them apart.
Anyone would notice those moles. Having two heads would be less noticeable.

[confiscated]

dude. you're making me feel bad for him now.

[calloused]

Yeah, well.

[ dot dot dot. ]

He's better at talking to people than I am.
If you still want a friend.

[confiscated]

you hooking me up, hale?

[calloused]

I'm pitying you, if anything.

[confiscated]

by what?
saying i should be friends w/ mr. quail egg?

[calloused]

Yeah.

He's, you know. Nice.
Annoying, but.
You said you wanted an in with another sub. Stiles is a good guy. Knows how to be there for people.
Could be good for you. That's all.

[confiscated]

so you are hooking me up

[Noticing "dick" turns to "nice" here. Hm.]

thanks, I think.
if I see a walking jackson pollock anywhere, ill befriend it

[calloused]

I'm not hooking you up.
I don't want you to sleep with him.

[ not that it's any business if he does. not that it's any of his business of tate or stiles sleep with anyone in general, for that matter? just... saying. ]

But yeah. Good. Great.
Do that.

[confiscated]

too late, already going to try

[jk jk jk]

can I ask you
something else?

[calloused]

Don't.

Yeah. Unless it's "can you get me even more stationary?".

[confiscated]

no it's
actually just nevermind
