I don't know, Cisquito. You are the one who said it, not me. I just repeated it.

Riverdale? That's a show based on it all. Someone wants me to marathon it with him, so maybe one day I will. Moral and nice gay guy though, that's novel. I like it.

[viber]

CAUSE YOU GOT ME ALL CONFUSED.

Riverdale is the town and the show is just about them but it's now effected the comics they come from for Archie is now all sexy and stuff. Like Jughead, for example. when I was a kid, he looked like this and then the show made him like this and hence now comic Jughead? He's like all new and shit

Who was your friend who wanted to marathon?

[mostlyajerk]

Seems like an improvement to me, but what do I know? I guess I'll pick up some classic comics. Maybe once that have Kevin Keller in them. There aren't even gay guys who would go by a name like Kevin Keller. It's all 'Sky' or 'Justin'.

Why, do you want more people who can't threaten your sexuality now that you have a girlfriend?

[viber]

Kevin is pretty normalised overall but the comic gays don't tend to be ... wholesome. This is your best bet, dude. Why do you need gay comics anyway? I thought you didn't do comics.

Oh, come on! Get over it! I'm sorry, okay.

Tell me.

[mostlyajerk]

Because my friend likes comics and I promised to bring him some, so I needed to find ones he'd be interested in. I'll read them too, while I'm at it. Midnighter looks hot. I like a man in leather.

Shouldn't I be sorry? I was the one being so threatening.

It's none of your business, straight boy. <3

[viber]

I know you do, you said that before.

So this friend is the one you want to marathon Riverdale with? Tell me about him... is he nice and... stuff.

Come on, dude, I'm trying.

I'm sorry.

[mostlyajerk]

I figure it has to be something you and me have in common.

He is just a friend who happens to be gay. We are not CONNECTED or anything. He's nice to me, I don't know about him being all that nice in general. He likes my rats.

[viber]

How? How do we?

Your rats are dope. You should bring them by some time, I haven't seen you in ages.... which is likely my bad but I don't think you want to be here.

It's kinda sucked a lot.

[mostlyajerk]

Have you looked at those suits you designed?

It's not the place for me, I know that. Don't worry about it, Cisquito, it's not like I was ever that eager to go back to working at STAR labs.

What's sucking so much?

[viber]

Leather is the best material.

I know but -- dude, I
I don't know.

Everything is different now and it's just never been the same since Wells left.

[mostlyajerk]

I won't argue with you. I love my boots.

Wells? Huh. You still never know your audience, Cisco, do you?

How's your girlfriend?

[viber]

they are pretty cool.

I know you had your issues with him but
Fine, we won't talk about it. No one ever talks about it.

She's okay. I think. Hasn't spoken to me in a while.

[mostlyajerk]

We can talk about it if you want. I'm just not sure what you want to hear. Everything he's ever given us was so that we would feel at home, because he was manipulating us to do what he needed us to do. Of course it left a hole. Maybe it's why I can't make a connection with anyone. Maybe it's why you can't be happy with things now. Who knows? I'd tell you how to move forward if I knew.

You are very long-distance. I'm sure she'll get back to you soon.

[viber]

He made me feel like I finally had a place in the world and now I don't have that again and it just feels strange, you know? I feel like everyone around me keeps changing and I can't keep up.

Everyone moves forward and I don't want to.

Or not. Maybe she's done. Maybe I'm done. I never know sometimes. I don't know -- like, I guess, I mean.

Love. It's difficult.

[mostlyajerk]

You have changed a lot too. You have your powers. You have the Flash. And you have that man who has a name that won't need to be changed for the porn version. Elongated Man, seriously?

You've already moved forward. That's life.

I couldn't tell you, Cisquito. I don't have much experience when it comes to love. I don't even have much experience when it comes to friendship. But they always say that when it's meant to be, it's meant to be, so maybe that's more than just a platitude.

1/2

[viber]

I know, right? This is what happened when I don't pick the name.

I guess I have no frame of reference. I fell in love for the first time at 27 and I don't even know if it's love because how do I know? HOW? And what if I already found love, huh? What if I found love and I ran out on it?

What if I'm a dumbass and I never workout what love is and I die alone and

2/2

[viber]

woah, sorry, that got real.

I've been drinking.

SO GAY COMICS. Idk man, read Apollo.

[mostlyajerk]

I think love isn't for me. I just have rats. They are lovely. Get some rats, Cisquito.

Apollo? Like the Greek God?

[viber]

My apartment has a no pets rule :( which is sad, I wanted lizards

He's Midnighter's boyfriend. You'll see when you read Midnighter.

[mostlyajerk]

That's just cruel. Smuggle the rats in, Cisco, resist the Man.

Great. I run around in dark leather and I don't have any Greek godlike man expressing interest. Boo.

[viber]

I got Fish at Star Labs. They're my bros now.

Well, I mean, comics are one big let down. I never get any of the fantasies come true. Including one very specific Captain America fantasy I will not discuss but will also not deny.

[mostlyajerk]

Careful, you'll threaten your sexuality.

But thank you for your expertise. I'll see what comics I can get into prison.

[viber]

You suck.

Also
wait

What???

[mostlyajerk]

Oh, Cisquito, you have no idea how well.

I'm visiting someone in prison. He wants comics.

[viber]

who?

Gimme deets. Maybe Barry knows him.
