This is fact not fiction

Aiden: I don't think he would if you apologize to him.

Aiden: I think it could be a lot of fun ;)

Arthur: Okay. Then maybe I'll come by. You know. To apologize.

Aiden: Well, what would make you happier... being alone in your apartment feeling guilty and upset about your piece of shit boyfriend, or spending time with Lucas and I?

Aiden: Alright. Be careful, because he can get moody. But he'd appreciate it regardless.

Aiden: Everything.

Aiden: I suppose not. Maybe we should go to his apartment then.

Arthur: I should be fine. Thanks.

Arthur: How so?

Aiden: It's better to just say it and get it over with, then just letting it drag on and feeling bad whenever you see him, trust me. Lucas appreciates honesty.

Aiden: And what about your happiness?

Aiden: Miss me that bad, huh?

Aiden: Why don't you just come over then?

Arthur: I'm sure he does. I'll see how it goes next time I run into him.

Arthur: What does my happiness have to do with you and Lucas?

Aiden: No, that makes you human.

Aiden: You don't have to feel guilty about that, but if it bothers you so much, maybe you should apologize to him instead.

Aiden: No, I didn't say that at all. I said that /you/ don't think it's a good thing.

Aiden: Talk to me, huh? About what?

Arthur: I can't do that. That's horrifying. And would be horribly awkward. I can't do that.

Arthur: I think it's a good thing so long as you're happy.

Aiden: You're not a hypocrite. Everything happens for a reason, babe.

Aiden: So, when you think about how I moved inside of you, it makes you feel terrible, huh?

Aiden: Sure it is.

Aiden: Did it really? Because I think you started this conversation because you want me.

Arthur: When it was done to me I was angry, and hurt. Now I'm doing it to someone else. That makes me a hypocrite.

Arthur: No... just guilty. Mostly over the fact that someone else probably got hurt.

Arthur: Are you saying that it's /not/ a good thing that you guys did?

Aiden: Nope, I don't think it's irrelevant. So, how about you tell me what you're thinking about? ;)

Aiden: Liar.

Aiden: Aw, is that a love confession, Arty?

Arthur: This conversation is making me feel like a giant hypocrite, just so you know. Everything that happened. I can't stop thinking about it. And you. And I makes me feel... terrible.

Arthur: I'm not lying. It's good that you guys could work through things.

Aiden: Moving on? Why? Are you trying to convince me that you're not still thinking about it?

Aiden: Yea, well, it's water under the bridge now. We fucked and made up, so..

Aiden: I don't believe you're happy about Lucas and I not breaking up.

Arthur: I mean, whether I am or not is irrelevant, don't you think?

Arthur: You guys did? Oh wow. That's great! Good for you guys.

Aiden: Good, because I don't think so either. It was hot as fuck.

Aiden: Yea, I did. It wouldn't be fair to lie to him about it.

Aiden: I don't believe you, but nice try ;)

Arthur: Right, well, that's not the point of this discussion so moving on.

Arthur: I agree. It wouldn't have been. None of this is really fair for the boy when you think about it. But yes, I agree.

Aiden: Eh, the sex was nothing you have to apologize for, babe ;)

Aiden: It's fine. Lucas forgave me. Don't worry about it.

Arthur: That's not what I was apologizing for. I didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

Arthur: You told him? Oh dear god. I guess that's for the best then.

Aiden: ...Sorry?

Aiden: Sorry for what?

Arthur: You know... the sex.

Arthur: You're in a relationship. I feel horrible about it.

Arthur: I've been thinking about it all since you left

Maybe I was, maybe I wasn’t. Either way, it doesn’t really matter since it’s not your cup of tea anyways. So, I don’t really get why you’re confused about it. Unless you were hoping I was trying to suggest something, or course…

Uh, right yea, definitely not my cup of tea. Plus, there’s also the fact that I’m in a relationship myself. And... yea. I don’t know why either, I guess I was just being silly. Like last night and all. Uh, no, nope. Was not. 

Right, well, maybe you should have been more clear then. I figured that was obvious, what it was about and all. I thought it was hot, and expected you would think the same, but clearly I was wrong about that since you hated it…

Of course, my bad, sorry about that. Yes, I know what it’s about. I read it. I just... are you trying to suggest something with it? I didn’t say I hated it, just that... it confused me. 

Was there? You told me that the second part wasn’t pushing the envelop enough and suggested another muse, so I figured adding a third character to the plot would be a good addition to spice it up a little. What did you find to be confusing about it?

I didn’t say add a third muse, I said start using your boyfriend as your muse for stories like this instead of me. You took what I said entirely incorrectly. What... what you were trying to get at with it. Or imply with with it... the whole point of it.

Really? Is that all the feedback you have for me? I need deets, Art. What did you dislike so much about it?

Uh, well, see... there was already a lot going on with the two main characters. Which made it a lot to follow to begin with. Adding the third just kind of.... confused me. 

It lacked luster. I wasn’t engrossed in it as much as I was with the other two, guess there’s such a thing as going over board on it. However, like I said before, I think Aiden is very talented in his writing. He should honestly attempt publishing something, even if he isn’t going to make a career out of it. I think he’d be successful.
