[ he likes noah and he knows that tate likes noah, so he's not all that worried, but. he still feels reluctant and territorial. ]
I mean, if it's the Noah I know, then fine. Good kid. Good taste in music. He mentioned wanting to meet Blondie, I think. Talked to him while I was building her elevator. This a date?
Yeah. I get it. I feel similar about him, in a weird way. I share some things with him I don't really share with anyone else here. He's a good guy to know. I don't think there's anything wrong with you caring about him. Having fun. Shit like that. But I'm worried about you getting hurt if he leaves. I'm worried about you getting attached, too - that always tends to hit you hard and fast, which hasn't gone well for you so far. You going to be okay if something happens?
i want to get better at that but i don't know how i get freaked out thinking about it mostly about you. thinking about what would happen if you left again. it makes my head spin
[ last thing tate needs is the guilt and the dread of knowing derek would lose his shit if he left, right? they shouldn't even be talking about this, actually - it won't help either of them to worry about the future. ]
You should stick with him. Noah. With any of the friends you make here, really. This city goes out of its way to treat us all like play things. Everything can fall to shit so, so easily. If you're happy, you should hold onto that, wherever it might go. While it lasts.
i think i'm already a little more reserved about getting close but i think he's nice. guess i want to know more about him, too i think sabrina's gone now, too. by the way. i'm trying to not feel bad about that
Anyway - yeah. If it wasn't clear, you can invite him over. It's fine. Thanks for giving me the heads up, too. Probably would've walked in on you two fucking, if I hadn't known. Really tired of seeing people fuck.
Standard sock on the door rules. Got it. I mean, it's kind of hard to miss. Especially in the Down. Feels like there's always someone getting their rocks off somewhere. Duplicity doesn't exactly go out of its way to protect modesty.
That's not what I'm asking. Did you just offer to pity fuck me? Don't do that. I'm gonna throw a fucking party when you get sent home. That's what I'm gonna do.

he understands the whole... dead thing
and we just kind of mess around
