Danny Boy

This stuff...

[He smiles.] I guessed as much.

Yeah, yeah.

This stuff...

Good. I couldn’t ever hate you either, even while you’re horribly drunk and sick. [He wraps an arm around him.] How do you feel?

That's good to know. [He leans his head on his shoulder] Like shit.

This stuff...

I- I love you.

I love you too. [He kisses him again.] You scared me. I thought you hated me. Don’t keep stuff like that from me again okay? 

[He nods] Alright. I couldn't ever hate you.

This stuff...

[He leans up to kiss him] A-Alright.

Okay. [He kisses him.]

I- I love you.

This stuff...

It doesn’t matter.

[She shrugs.] If you say so.

I do.

This stuff...

They said that too.

But I mean it. Merlin Dan—I don’t have a way to prove it to you. You have to trust me. 

[He leans up to kiss him] A-Alright.

This stuff...

Yeah, but you see…everyone I love leaves me behind in one way or another. It always happens and you would think that I would learn, but I don’t and it still hurts just as much every time.

Dan…I’m not going to leave you behind. I couldn’t leave you. It’s not going to happen. 

They said that too.

This stuff...

It’s stupid. I’m stupid.

You may have stupid moments, but you aren’t stupid, Dan.

It doesn't matter.

This stuff...

Losing you.

You’re not going to lose me. I’m not going anywhere. We’ll figure something out. I don’t want to be without you. 

Yeah, but you see...everyone I love leaves me behind in one way or another. It always happens and you would think that I would learn, but I don't and it still hurts just as much every time.

This stuff...

You didn’t misinterpret anything. I lied. That’s why I’m stupid and that’s how I fucked everything up. I lied because I’m scared, but I still feel the way I do when I know I shouldn’t.

Scared of what? I love you. 

Losing you.

This stuff...

Because I’m stupid and I fucked everything up.

[He shakes his head.] You’re not stupid okay? And you didn’t fuck anything up. I misinterpreted what you said. It’s fine. 

You didn't misinterpret anything. I lied. That's why I'm stupid and that's how I fucked everything up. I lied because I'm scared, but I still feel the way I do when I know I shouldn't.

This stuff...

…Do you hate me?

No. I lo-why do you think I hate you? 

Because I'm stupid and I fucked everything up.

This stuff...

Well, it all goes back to family, essentially. It’s all connected. So, you wouldn’t understand, Luce. I was right.

Yeah. You can still talk to me.

It's stupid. I'm stupid.

This stuff...

Nothing. Lost my train of thought.

Alright. 

...Do you hate me?
