gigadevilbreaker | OVERFLOW

We're basically the same height.

Anyway, you needa talk some more. It's kind of funny to me.

That's a real dangerous ask. Y'know I once gave a full-blown 20 minute speech about sappy romance 'cause I was dared to.

You really think I wouldn't go on about how precious you are, Jaybird?

I'm not daring you to say I'm precious. I just wanna hear a string of cursewords.

That's all.

[a wink]

[Slowly, deliberately,]

You... can stick it... where the sun don't shine. Cutie-pie.

Aw. You're just tryin' to disappoint me.

Youth of today, so hard t'please.

If I were slightly older, y'know I'd be taller than you, right?

[vs. 5'7 and probably 165 pounds.]

[anyway there's a bunch of imps coming, with ~water balloons~, launching them off]

That's why I gotta live this up while it lasts--

[When Nero spots the water balloons, he instinctively tries to put his body in front of Jason's, firing off his grapple arm to snatch at least one balloon out of the barrage.]

[thanks for the protection from those completely useless water balloons.

there's a bunch coming from the other side now, so I guess it's Jason's turn to, y'know. Watch Nero's back.

but one of the balloons hits-- and jason literally punts one of the imps into the closest building with those thighs of steel]

Ruinin' a perfectly good conversation.

[Water bursts in his hand while another balloon pelts him in the face, soaking Nero down to his shoulders, and more splash all over his boots. With a grunt, he summons a throwing spear and hurls it into the imp responsible, impaling it. Poof!]

Annoying little freakers...

"Freakers."

[a pause because uh-- that voice is.

not his.

and he's just-- going to look down at himself.]

... New problem.

[He tries to blink the water out of his eyes, but when he opens them-- the daylight is painful, stabbing into his corneas. Nero hisses, trying to shade his eyes with his hands.

Can't see Jason too well as a result. But his voice has changed again??]

What is it...??

[he wants to point out the obvious but-- at least he's taller than him again.

and also he wants to duck out of the way of anymore onslaughts]

Can't tell?

[but he'll grab his sleeve and go to duck inside a building. because that seems safer]

[is grabbed--!]

S'too bright... like everything's fuzzy. Your voice is-- higher?

[a beat]

Are you a girl?!

Yeah.

I got antidotes back at the dorms.

[yeah-- that makes sense to duck back in that way]

You can't see now?

Just... hurts in the light. Need some shades or something.

[Since they're under cover, he's able to squint his eyes open a little more. Tries to focus on Jason and--]

...Uh. Wow.

[he wasn't-- expecting that reaction, actually]

... Wow?

[but he doesn't exactly stop moving either.]

[All teasing has gone from his tone, he's just sheepish and turning pink at the edges,]

I mean it's not a bad look...

[he's-- confused, but when he glances back and sees that look, he realizes at least one thing.

how far was the hotel again?]

You're muttering.

[he teases]

[Blurts out,]

I said it looks good, okay!? Frick. You should be using my girl potions.

[Huh.

should he?

he grows a little quiet as he considers that, and finally they can cross the hotel's threshold]

You really think that?

[Quietly,]

Uh, yeah? You're like... [smoking hot,] yeah.

[how does he point out that he feels awkward and off his game-- and that he already dislikes how his clothes are trying to slip off of him.]

Well...

[he hits the elevator button...]

I never considered it before.

[Biiiiites his lip,]

...Would you?

[consider it, i mean. because like. hmmmmgh.]

[a ding, and he leans back against the elevator wall after pressing the button for bad end]

... Maybe?

[unsure as he tilts his head to consider.]

You wanna try?
