Check, check, and check. You need anything in your Fortress of Solitude?

[protective_logic]

I'm sorry. I have... they can't know. They won't... He said people won't like me if they know.

[baruthumos]

I know and I like you. At this point, you really should be more worried about how angry they're going to be that you've been lying for years.

[protective_logic]

Stop it. Stop it stop it stop it stop it!

[baruthumos]

Stop what, telling you he was full of shit, that I like you irregardless of your hearing or lack thereof?

[protective_logic]

Stop lying. The only reason you like me is because I'm your little brother and you have to. Because Alpha... because she and Alpha left you in charge of us. And people don't like people who can't hear.

[baruthumos]

Are we doing this right now? Can we at least do this face to face? Because you do not get to tell me what I do and do not like.

[protective_logic]

Normal people don't like people like me unless we can pass for normal.

[baruthumos]

Who ever said I was normal?

[protective_logic]

He said it and he was right and he was right. The kids at school proved it time and time again.

[baruthumos]

D, that was like fifteen years ago. And you pass for normal. You're the most normal person in this house, aside from the chocolate obsession and the martyr complex.

[protective_logic]

He said... He said they wouldn't like me and he's right.

[baruthumos]

Who doesn't like you? Plenty of people like you. I feel like I'm talking to Theta here. If you're going to make me do this, will you at least not make me sit on the couch with my helmet on and text you from ten feet away like an idiot?

[protective_logic]

I... okay, we can talk.

[baruthumos]

I'll bring the chocolate.

[protective_logic]

There's more?

[baruthumos]

Do I ever run out? Salted caramel or the crunchy kind?

[protective_logic]

Crunchy.

[baruthumos]

Is Maine still in there with you? Trying to gauge how many laps I'm going to run later.

[protective_logic]

Should... I send him away?

[baruthumos]

Don't you dare, we're going to need someone who's good at the thing I'm terrible at. You know the one. The thing where you actually believe the words emitting from him in any way, shape, or form.

[protective_logic]

What makes you think I believe him when he tells me I'm not broken? Maybe I just think he cares about me anyway because he's someone who has been pulled apart too.

[baruthumos]

I thought we established you're broken but we're going to fix you. Try to keep up.

[protective_logic]

I know how much it costs.

[baruthumos]

Sparkles, there are people lining up to give us the money. You want your ears fixed or you want to sit there and wallow in self-pity?
