On Cloud Nine

Well is it someone’s birthday?

No.

Of course I would be.

Well you could try, but you would not be successful.

I didn't say he would kick your ass. I'm saying that if he was here you wouldn't be doing it.

Ah, I see now. You’re one of those “Strong women who don’t need no man to function” types. I seriously pity you.

I'm one of those "I'm not going to let my half brother sleep with me" types. And I'm pretty sure if my boyfriend was here you wouldn't even be attempting to try.

How many times do I have to tell you that I don’t give a damn who you’re seeing? It ain’t gonna stop me.

You're not going to succeed. You may have every single girl in this camp wrapped around your pinky finger just waiting for your beck and call but I am certainly not one of them.

That’s what they all say. That’s actually what Aspen said, but that changed pretty fast.

Well it seems I have better willpower than she does. And how many times do I have to tell you I'm seeing someone? I have been for the past four years. And my sex-crazed half brother is not going to change that.

Honestly, it’s inevitable. May as well speed up the process and put on a little show for me.

And you may as well keep your dick in your pants because it's not going to happen.

You don’t truly live here until I see you naked. Sorry babe.

Not gonna happen.

You could have knocked.

Considering I live here I didn't think it was an issue.

yeah, that’s fine… come on in. we got… well really comfy beds and shit.

Bet you my bed's comfier than yours.

Alright, i’ll try.

Okay, I'm just gonna leave the bike on the side wall if that's okay.

[he chuckles] mmhmm… well then. should i just suck it up or?

Yes, yes you should.

I’m the weird one? how the hell am i the weird one? it’s because i’m gay, isn’t it?

Oh no not in the slightest! You think the face touching is abnormal.

[he moves his hand from his face] You are probably one of my weirdest friends i have.

You know in my circle of friends you would be the weird one. Face touching was a right  of passage.

Something like this isnt easily ridden out. They lost their sister.

I never said it was going to be easy. But I doubt that if they lost someone they wouldn't want people suffocating them.
