It's your job to do the talking. The looking like we belong in a home talking.

[ as if it isn't always zetes' job to do the talking. unless they're talking to someone who needs to be intimidated by a glowering giant. ]

Especially since I think we both know which of us is going to look handsome in sea foam, and it's not me.

[freneticism]

seafoam is my color.
well, one of my colors.
everyone wants to talk to me when i'm in seafoam.

[polemic]

Everyone wants to talk to you because you radiate affability and friendliness and a bunch of other unspeakable things.

[freneticism]

it's a good thing this is a text conversation, then.
i wouldn't want you to have to wash your mouth out with soap.

[polemic]

It's too late.
I'm already gargling with Irish Spring as a precaution.

[freneticism]

i don't wanna kiss that mouth.

[polemic]

Be less friendly and affable then.

[ this argument is fooproof!! obviously. ]

[freneticism]

that's like telling a fish to be less cold-blooded.

[ he doesn't like this argument!!! ]

[polemic]

You know having sad glisteny eyes from three blocks over is cheating, right?

[ he can hear the sadness!!! and the glistening!!!!! ]

[freneticism]

whaaaaaaat

[ he totally didn't know that. ]

i like to call it strategy.

[polemic]

That's ...you know, that's actually pretty hard to argue with.

[freneticism]

wow.
sebastian tantalo doesn't know how to argue something.
i feel like i've won. just at life??

[ he loves you so much. ]

[polemic]

[ yes, sebastian has learned the Love is why zetes spends 28 hours a day thinking of ways to troll him. x_x ]

Don't get used to it, bucko.

[freneticism]

[ but of course!!! ]

bucko.
i like that.
makes me feel like a cowboy.

[polemic]

Cute. I think you could rock the Brokeback Mountain look if you tried.

[freneticism]

i could, couldn't i!!!
just need a hat.

[ he's totally got a jacket that would work! ]

[polemic]

And some rope.

[ innocent whistling ]

[freneticism]

i could get rope.

[ more innocent whistling ]

[polemic]

[ this is extra ridiculous because there is no way they don't own several pairs of functional, non-sexy handcuffs between them???? but frankly they are exceptionally awesome at ridiculous, so there. ]

Oh really.

[ ... also maybe he wasn't a hundred percent expecting like, agreement. ]

1/2

[freneticism]

oh yeah.

[ just... wait for it, sebastian. ]

getting cows or sheep to lasso would probably be harder.
but hey, maybe a petting zoo?

[ HE'S KIDDING. SORT OF. ]

[freneticism]

[ but okay MORE SERIOUSLY. as before mentioned, zetes is a chill cucumber and is not gonna let particular fantasies disappear into the ether if there truly is interest. he wouldn't leave you hanging, seb. isn't he the best? ]

or did you happen to have something else in mind?

[ okay, he's still a troll, but he's also the best. ]

[polemic]

Lassoing you sounds pretty good right now.

[ cranky??? or suggestive. is there a difference? is it both? this is sebastian, after all. ]

[freneticism]

you're awfully confident for a city-slicker.

[ zetes is gonna go with both. just from experience. ]

[polemic]

I happen to have a lot of experience with lassos.

[ this is so deadpan, even in text. possibly because sebastian thinks of his entire life as generally centered around lassoing zetes. from the edges of spike pits and shit. ]

[freneticism]

prove it?

[ please!!! if spike pits are necessary, then so be it. ]
