[watches him get dressed]

[skepticalities]

[looks up]

What?

[onlyoneof]

Nothing.

[skepticalities]

[pulling on his pants.]

Sorry. This is like . . . the anti-sexy.

[onlyoneof]

I'd have sex with you in a heartbeat.

[skepticalities]

. . . forward. Um. It's banned here, anyway.

[onlyoneof]

That's the only reason I'm saying it.

[skepticalities]

[runs a hand through his hair, slipping his glasses back on.]

Right . . .

[onlyoneof]

"Would" and "should" are pretty far apart in this case.

[skepticalities]

I'd imagine so. It's fine.

[onlyoneof]

Thank you for stopping me from brooding.

[skepticalities]

That's what friends are for, Peter.

[onlyoneof]

Just say I'm welcome.

[skepticalities]

. . .

[onlyoneof]

I don't think you understand your own importance here.

[skepticalities]

Probably not.

[look I'm making a house of cards!]

[skepticalities]

[hmmmmmm.]

[onlyoneof]

[and once he has a small house of cards]

Metaphorically speaking, I am standing somewhere in the middle of this thing and you are this card.

[points at a card at the bottom]

...

[then removes it. And the house collapses]

[skepticalities]

. . .

You're welcome. I'd do it either way.

[onlyoneof]

I know it's just... I don't take this kind of thing for granted anymore, so it means a lot to me to have it.

[skepticalities]

Yeah, no, I— I get it.

[onlyoneof]

Alright.

[skepticalities]

[. . . leans forward over the cards, slipping in to give him a light kiss.]
