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.

Lol. It's cause Peter's that slutty. XD

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

I feel there has to be a better option then trial-and-error.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

I'm open to suggestions.

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

It's better when you start out as friends. If you're into being emotionally attached to someone else.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Trial and error is more spontaneous and fun than friends. Friends sounds so boring.

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

Being friends is not boring. It's how most people do things.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Most people are boring.

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

What would you do if I showed up at your room tonight then?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Be naked in a hot tub with bubbles. Play your cards right, and there might even be champagne.

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

You have a hot tub in your room?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Come by and you'll find out.

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

... are you being serious?
