what it says on the tin

I... don't know. I don't get out much these days. Mars isn't interested, and I cut my losses with Intensity a while back.

[criminaljustice]

[... time to pinch A's cheek]

Don't overthink it. Think based solely on appearances. Like "I would totally smooch this guy, he's hot".

[afailedmurder]

[why did Fox pop into his head? definitely not going to admit that]

That was the list! As I said, I don't get out much!

[criminaljustice]

... that is so the face of someone who totally thought of someone just now.

C'mon, spill.

Foresight

[afailedmurder]

That was the whole list.

[Now, the problem with foresight warning him to be careful about how he says it means that this second, carefully unemotional and way too blunt delivery is actually more suspicious than the first]

[criminaljustice]

[this face














and then he's SMOOSHING A'S FACE]

You do know getting defensive about it just makes it more suspicious, right?

[afailedmurder]

[oh my god]

It was an intrusive thought! It wasn't anything more than that!

[criminaljustice]

[THERE. THAT'S A MORE HONEST FACE. stops smooshing his face and pats his cheeks]

Even if it's an intrusive thought. There's nothing wrong with thinking it. Or sharing it with your boyfriend who is literally asking you about your intrusive thoughts, you dork.

[afailedmurder]

...Some things are too ludicrous to be voiced aloud.

[criminaljustice]

Wanna bet?

[afailedmurder]

I don't want to say it out loud.

[criminaljustice]

... so it's someone that really embarrasses you.

[criminaljustice]

[now I wonder who it could be--



...]

[criminaljustice]

[this is the look of someone WHO GREATLY SUSPECTS]

[afailedmurder]

[fuck]

[criminaljustice]

[... SNERKS. and now hands are papping A's face]

It's fine, it's really fine. He really is hot and smoochable.

[afailedmurder]

[jaw dropping]

How in the hell...!?

[criminaljustice]

Elementary, my dear detective.

[HOW LONG HAS HE WAITED TO BE ABLE TO USE THAT LINE? FOR FUCKING EVER and the smirk shows it]

Who else would you be that embarrassed to think about smooching? There's a multi-layered response here. No way it's someone you or I don't know.

Also: "ludicrous".

[afailedmurder]

[aaaaaaaah]

I don't even particularly like him! I simply don't... speak to many people in general!

[criminaljustice]

[poking a finger at the center of A's forehead]

That's what I was saying. This isn't about compatibility. It's just "yeah, dude is hot. I'd smooch him." Let your Id have as say.

We can always flip through the profile list to see who else you find hot, if this one's simply too embarrassing for you.

[both a challenge and an out at the same time. what do?]

[afailedmurder]

[grumblemumble]

Why? Are we girls at a slumber party...?

[but an out is an out. with a LOUD SIGH:]

Go ahead and pull them up.

[criminaljustice]

Uh... because your boyfriend wants to get to know you and your tastes more?

[gosh, A.

but pulling out his phone so they can tab through profiles. anyone catching attention?]

[afailedmurder]

[this is awkward]

...My "type" is someone who can keep up with me. It's not as though I can tell that just by looking...

[pauses a little on Nya though]

[criminaljustice]

[... yeah...]

From what I know about Nya, he's definitely in your area of being able to keep up.

[for... stabby reasons. mostly.]

[afailedmurder]

He tried to do me a favor, but I wasn't terribly receptive to it at the time.
