Darrel Curtis

Iago: Your daily reminder that I love you.

Darry: I love you too, Iago.

Iago: It’s just stupid rules. He says he wants us to talk as equals and then insists I call him Sir. Then tells me he’ll punish me if I don’t and blames it on the hacker maybe leaking messages. And then doesn’t change any of the rules when I told him he should, you know, check them again. Now I have to sit on the floor and can only have conversations when he’s around to listen. I mean… I know it’s his right or whatever to do whatever he wants. But this is stupid. 

Iago: Mhm. I was… worried you wouldn’t sleep well so… I made you one. 

Iago: It’s okay. It could be worse, I guess. It’s just annoying but I’ll live. In one piece. I promised. 

Iago: Okay. And I know I hurt you. That was pretty stupid of me to do. I don’t want you to just… forgive me, because that’s not fair. And if you wanna be angry I won’t blame you, I won’t even complain. I guess I just want you to know that I want to be with you and no one else. And I’m not leaving. Ever. Unless you kinda kick me out but maybe not even then. I mean it when I say I love you. Every time.  

Darry: I know it’s tough, I know. We knew this wouldn’t be easy. I know you don’t agree with what he’s doing. I’m talking to him, we are having conversations. I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure this goes as smoothly as it can. He’s going to have some rules, and some requirements different from my own. But the last thing we want is the Headmaster stepping in on this. I know it’s hard and you’re struggling. I’m here. I’m right here. What can I do? What do you need from me?

Darry: I...You’re...You didn’t have to do that. You’re so sweet, Iago. Thank you. I can’t wait to hear it. 

Darry: Good boy. You’ve got this, you can do this. I’ll tell you every day. 

Iago: Yeah. It was kinda boring. Nothing fun happened and… Yeah. 

Iago: I made you a playlist tho. 

Iago: He is… I don’t know. I don’t like this. 

Iago: I know sorry is, uh… Not what I should be saying right now but. I’m sorry. 

Darry: And yeah? Talk to me, please. 

Darry: You did? Really?

Darry: I know you don’t. I’m sorry, Iago. I wish there were something I could do. But...10 more days. 

Jaxon: Hello Darry, I dont think we did but I've seen you in the halls. Wait, your sub? Shit...I didnt even know. Yeah of course, whats up?

Darry: I miss you.

Iago: Yes. Yes, I can. I'll be in one peace by the end of these 12 days. I'll live.

Iago: Please... Be around.

Darry: Good. I'm still going to speak with him. I'll let you know once I do.

Iago: ... In one piece?

Iago: I guess I'll have to be.

Darry: You know what I mean, Iago. Just do your best, please. You can be good, I know you can.

Darry: That isn't what I asked. But alright.

I know what you mean, man. You know I know how you feel. Two Bit is fuckin’ one’a ‘em too. The Smythes. They’re like the big shot socs in these parts. He said we ain’t gotta start a turf war but I dunno. Two of you are upset and I’m ready to fight someone. 

I know you do. That’s why I’m tryin’ to protect you from this. I don’t need you getting any more cynical on me. He...What? Yeah, I noticed. I wouldn’t even know where to start, Soda. It’s a different world here. A different game. At least the rich fucks at home fought with their fists. They ain’t about that here. But I’m...I just don’t get it, you know? Or maybe I get it too good. Those Smythes are assholes, but they’re rich assholes. They know they can do whatever, ain’t nobody going to challenge them. So they hold the whole world to these...Fucking standards, but excuse themselves from them because, hey, don’t we know money can buy a lotta shit. It’s funny, though. I hate what’s happening here but...Doesn’t it just feel like the great equalizer, in some fucked up way? Their shit got leaked too. And from what I’m seein’, they’ve got some skeletons in their closets that just fell out all over the dash. You see how they treat that little one? That ain’t family. They need to watch the older ones, too. They’re both playin’ dangerous games. We can’t fight this fire the way we always have. If we’re gonna do something, we gotta do it smart, little buddy. I’ve got to figure out what I’m going to do about this...Iago mess. I’ll think on it. I’ll come up with something.

And I got you as a brother every week, what of it? You need me, I’m here. The end. That’s how it is. Now talk to me, Darry. 

When did you get all grown up, huh? I must’ve missed it, somehow. I don’t really know...What to say. I feel bad sayin’ anything at all. Part of me feels like an idiot. Bigger than that. Part of me is hurt. Part of me wants to be mad but I just...Can’t. He’s with Jaxon Beiste, too. So that’s...Just fucking great. Talking about nudes. Flirting. Talking about...I mean you read it. I know you did. With a Smythe. I ain’t...Whatever. Fuck, I want a cigarette real bad. 

...Hey. You didn’t have to come all the way down here. I know you’ve got subs this week.  @sodapopontherocks​

Iago: ... What is it then?

Darry: It's nothin'. Don't worry about it. Just...Focus on getting through the next 12 days in one piece.

Iago: Are you angry? I can't... tell.

Iago: I know. I know, I'm sorry.

Iago: I'm just going to be honest because... yeah. I don't mind naked pictures. His are interesting, that's all. And it seems like we are flirting because we used to. A bit before my texts and Blaine's leaked. If you go /way/ back, you'll find it. I made plans with him and then I cancelled them.

Iago: I think of him as one of my friends. Nothing more.

Iago: You... Jesus.

Darry: It's fine.

Darry: Oh. Right. I...Thank you for your honesty.

Darry: Alright.

Iago: Ah, we're doing that now.

Iago: Yes. Remy Smythe. What do you want to know?

Darry: I'm not trying to do anything, Iago. I just want to have a conversation.

Darry: A couple of things. Why you're telling him you want to see his naked pictures. Why you seem to be flirting. I'm just curious.

Iago: And do I look like I care?

Darry: That's up to you, I guess. I didn't think we had anything to worry about.
