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.

Two can play at that game! XD

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

You never know until you've tried. Maybe I won't disregard you at all.

Why don't you be manly and decisive and give it a shot?

Oh my god, they could do this forever.

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

I feel like I know you well enough to know that you've already decided what you want us to be and you're just jerking me around for your own amusement.

So maybe I want to be gentlemanly and say, ladies first.

Yeah, now she's just messing with him.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

What would you say if I said fuck buddies?

Peter's trying to mess with her but he fails.

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

I would say... that... lovers sounds better.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it sounds better, but is it really for us?

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

That is a good question.

Are we really there yet?

Is it me, or do they sound like they're discussing real estate investments?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

We could always give it a trial run, see how it goes, and if we decide it isn't our thing we'll try something different.
