[gunhearted]

But I'm trying to help you!

[bombgasmic]

And I can help you help me?

[gunhearted]

... This is getting complicated.

[bombgasmic]

... We'll work it out, Jacuzzi. We'll help each other out.

[gunhearted]

I know. Really. I just want to make sure I'm pulling my own weight...

[bombgasmic]

Thank you for agreeing to try with me, Jacuzzi.

[gunhearted]

Why are you thanking me? I should be thanking you for inviting me...

[bombgasmic]

Well, you're agreeing to move in with a girl you really only met in the last month, you know?

You're pretty brave if you ask me.

[gunhearted]

... [He blinks at her???]

Why? You're a good person, Nice.

[bombgasmic]

Still. A lot of people would still be more hesitant I think.

[gunhearted]

[... Oh no. He fucked up didn't he?

But he can't help it. Being around her makes everything better, even if he can feel every thud of his heartbeat. Being around her felt like it was going to be all right--and he knows that has nothing to do with echoes.

It's just... her.]

I--I just feel like I can trust you... I... said something wrong, didn't I?

[bombgasmic]

... No.

[She shakes her head.]

No, you didn't. I guess I've been worried for nothing -- it's my first time trying to work with someone like this. To be honest part of why I never really tried to move in with anyone was because I wasn't sure I could work with another person for an indefinite amount of time.

I'm glad. I'm glad you trust me, because I do too.

[gunhearted]

If you're not sure you can live with somebody, I'm the worst person you could pick! I'm always having panic attacks and I always forget to do something because I'm thinking of other things to do. And I have really bad asthma so I have to keep inhalers everywhere...

[Jacuzzi stop.]

[bombgasmic]

But I know you'll come through no matter what.

[gunhearted]

Aren't you nervous, too, though? I mean--you said it, we did just meet...

[bombgasmic]

Well... that's the thing.

I'm not.

I just wondered-- I didn't want to just assume how you felt. So I wanted to make sure.

[gunhearted]

... I'm not being really considerate of your feelings, huh?

[Now he just feels bad. But he took what she was saying at face value... She doesn't seem like the kind of person to just take on a charity case.]

[bombgasmic]

[She tilts her head.]

What do you think I'm feeling?

I wanna try this out with you, Jacuzzi. I want to help you too, but I'm not doing it just for that. When I thought I wanted to move into somewhere with a friend, you were the first person who came to mind. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't rushing you.

[gunhearted]

[He just... smiles at that, tightening his hold on her hand just a little.]

I'll find a way to make it happen.

[bombgasmic]

[She smiles.]

I've got a reliable partner in this. All right, it's down this street! And a couple more blocks.

[gunhearted]

It's really close to everything...

[bombgasmic]

Isn't it? And even then, it's still not as high as it really could be. If this one doesn't work out, though, there's another one that's only a short bus ride away.

[gunhearted]

I'm sure there's more, too

[bombgasmic]

Oh, I bet. It's the end of the school year so some people move out to move to other cities I guess? So there will be openings.

[gunhearted]

We'll find something. I mean, it'll work out if we both want it.
