Elle...

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Hi Peter.

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

What're you doing?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Making a list.

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

Of friends?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

You wanna be on my list of friends, Peter?

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to be your friend, Elle?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to want you to be my friend?

Peter can do this for a while xD

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to want you to want me to be your friend?

And Elle has the emotional maturity of a six-year-old XD

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to want you to want me to want you to be my friend?

It's okay. Peter's a brat. Lol.

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to want you to want me to want you to want me to be your friend?

Oh god this is getting confusing.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to want you to want me to want you to want me to want you to be my friend?

Annnd... this is where Peter gives up.

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

Wait, what?

And Elle just starts the cycle over again D:

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

If this was a list of friends, would you want to be on it?

And... Peter plays along. XD

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

Are we friends, Elle?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

We could be.

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

Do you want to be?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

What are my alternatives?

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

Not... being friends?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

I mean, is there anything else we could be, besides friends?

You want a list you can pick from, Peter? Enemies, lovers, casual acquaintances, confidantes, conspirators, employee/employer, drinking buddies, fuck buddies? There are all kinds of relationships two people can have.

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

You've put a lot of thought into that.

I'm asking you to pick what we're going to be. What do you want from me, Elle?

Heh. She's not giving him a straight answer to THAT.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Not enemies or casual acquaintances. I don't wanna hurt you, Peter, and pretending that I didn't know you would be kinda silly.

Or employer/employee. Unless you want me to hire you for... something. Dunno what.

He didn't really expect one.

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

Okay, so we've established that we know each other that we don't want to hurt each other and I don't want you to hire me for anything.

I don't want to be drinking buddies with you. That sounds like it would turn out bad.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

So what do you want to be? We've got lovers, confidantes, conspirators, and fuck buddies left.

Unless you really do just wanna be friends. But it sounds so bland.

Now watch him avoid the answer!

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

Really Elle, I'd rather know what you want us to be. Because you'll just disregard what I say anyway.
