[leaaaaaaaaaaning.]

[wraps an arm around him]

[turns and tries to look over at what he's reading.]

[reading over his shoulder.]

[onlyoneof]

[sighs]

[skepticalities]

[kisses his cheek.]

[onlyoneof]

[that is surprising]

Hey.

[skepticalities]

— that gets you to talk?

[onlyoneof]

What? You should be aiming for positive reinforcement!

[skepticalities]

I'm not going to do that every time you sulk. It sends the wrong message. If you want something . . . talk to me.

[onlyoneof]

I should've stayed quiet until you kissed me properly.

[skepticalities]

You would've been quiet for awhile.

[onlyoneof]

Why can't you just cater to my irrational moods?

[skepticalities]

Because then you'd be irrational more often to get attention.

[shifts a bit so he's facing him.]

[onlyoneof]

I wouldn't. I don't enjoy it at all.

[skepticalities]

[reaches over to touch his cheek lightly.]

What is it today, Peter?

[onlyoneof]

[see? You win so easily]

I don't know. It's a cycle, I want things and then I feel guilty for wanting things, and then I get angry at myself for feeling guilty, which then gets redirected to whoever is close enough.

[skepticalities]

Do I need to tell you it's okay to want things again? You might not always get them, but there's nothing wrong with wanting them.

[onlyoneof]

I know it's okay to want things, hence the being angry at myself.

[skepticalities]

. . . do you want to know something?

[onlyoneof]

Only if I'm going to like it.

[skepticalities]

You might. And then again, you might not.

[onlyoneof]

Shoot.

[skepticalities]

The other reason I got annoyed was because you were . . . probably right on some level.
