of course! sophie

we just almost kissed. like once but i dunno. we havent really talked since ive been back

[hollowchild]

Isaac. My goodness, it isn't that scandalous.

No? Why?

[freezerburned]

stuff has been busy i guess

but i think we might. we should anyway. i kind of want to

[hollowchild]

You should. Just a bit important.

And as long as no one ends up bleeding or with broken bones you'll have done better than Connor and me.

[freezerburned]

....really?

i feel like i should hear this story

[hollowchild]

Do you remember the first time we sparred? You wanted to fight Connor, too, but his ribs were cracked, so you settled for me?

That was mostly my fault.

Admittedly, the fall off the side of the building he was climbing didn't help, but I finished the job. I was...adjusting poorly to Asgard, shall we say. We were both spoiling for a fight and ran into each other. We fought, and then I realized that he wasn't what I wanted to hurt. And we stopped.

And then there might have been kissing.

So really, it isn't hard to do better than that.

[freezerburned]

...you beat the shit out of him and then made out with him

uh

okay

[hollowchild]

No, we stopped beating the shit out of each other. Significant difference.

And he kissed me first.

[freezerburned]

well thats

romantic

[hollowchild]

More than you would think.

We weren't playing. We would have torn each other to pieces. But we stopped. Do you see?

[freezerburned]

see what?

[hollowchild]

The romance in stopping before you hurt something you don't want to hurt. I'll take that as a no, but that's likely better.

[freezerburned]

i dont think scott would have fought me anyway

[hollowchild]

No, Scott is too good for that.

[freezerburned]

i dont know what youre implying but i can agree with that i guess

[hollowchild]

I was being literal. He's a good person.

[freezerburned]

yeah

hey can i ask you something? not really advice or anything just... your thoughts

[hollowchild]

You may always do that.

[freezerburned]

just pretend were talking about hypotheticals

but if you like two people who are obviously in love with one another and then they both sort of admit attraction to you as well

...does stuff like that actually work out? outside of playboy i mean

[hollowchild]

I think that there are no guarantees to anything, ever, but that's a very poor reason not to try.

People that are important like that aren't found around every corner. It's rare enough to find one, right? Two is maybe a little extraordinary. When you find something that could make you happy, then you don't let it slip away. It would be a bit ridiculous to call me anything like an expert, but it seems shortsighted to say there's only one right way to have a relationship.

I told my brother, once, that were he to find some love that was his, was real, that he should hold fast and never let it go. Because it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, not really. You find your havens where you can.

Which is not to say that such a thing would be easy. But then, it might be. In any case, I think it's better to know what is than wonder what could have been.

[freezerburned]

well- i mean i wouldn't say 'love' but yeah.

i guess you have a point.

[hollowchild]

I would not say it either, Manfred's case was somewhat different. But the principle stands. We've spoken before about happiness.

[freezerburned]

have we?

ill see what they say. i guess the worst is that allison will still be weird about scott and probably hate me or something

[hollowchild]

We have. It's all the same principle. If you have a chance for something you may not have again, take it.

I don't think anyone is going to hate you for liking them, Isaac, whether or not they return the feeling.

[freezerburned]

well. she might be mad about the scott thing.

i guess thats sort of what im worried about
