sounds like penance

My name is Oliver.

Have we talked before? Never mind, it doesn’t matter.

Anybody lost a pair of red sunglasses? Whoop. Too late. They’re mine now.

They look disgusting.

I’m Back!

Who are you again?

Ooh, yeah. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Do I even really have a choice?

Nooooope.

That’s really sad. That makes me sad. That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever been told.

Don’t think you can get me not to like you, Cooper. Your desperate attempts to push me away are only bringing me in closer.

That’s unfortunate. So there’s no escaping you?

Harrison huffed, downing another gulp of the drink before he leaned close. “Coop. I’ve been meaning to ask you this…” A hiccup left Harrison before he found his bearings again. “What made you such a grumpy cat?”

He stayed quiet for a moment, a thoughtful look on his face. “Is this the part where I tell you all about my tragic, tragic past and we inevitably bond over it?” He looked at Harrison then, the corner of his lip tugged up. 

Oscar scoffed at his response. “If they can’t take it, it won’t be my fault.”

Cooper nodded his head and shrugged. “That’s true. But then, I doubt you’re exactly good at teaching.”

Oh, Mr. Glass. You haven’t seen nothin’ yet.

Is that nothing your charm? If it is, it’s because you don’t have it. Like I’ve said.

Oscar looked towards him, frowning. “No, you idiot. I teach teenagers.”   

Cooper raised his eyebrows. “Terrified teenagers?”

You really don’t like these movies, do you?

What’s even there to like?

“Yeah. I fill in for my dad sometimes in the field.” He answered. “I have no idea how that ended up becoming a thing, it just did. But it’s awesome.” 

He laughed at that. “Who’re you teaching, then-- children?” The sight of frightened children under Oscar’s authority would be hilarious. He had half a mind to actually watch the lessons just for the children’s faces.

"Too drunk?" Harrison let out a chuckle as he swayed a bit on the spot. "I’m in denial that such a thing even exists."

Cooper raised an eyebrow and smirked. “I hope that denial takes you far enough to hell.”
