"I don't know! There's a lot of pressure and I figured go polite and now I have no idea why. It's your fault, you asshole. I was never this much of a loser and then you came along and suddenly I'm a babbling idiot." So yeah, totally all on Hartley and none of it on him. He huffed and flopped back, rolling his eyes at the idiot laughing above him. Well. He guessed it was kind of funny. James had no idea why he laughed either but he did, for lack of anything better to do.

"God." James stifled his laughter, a stupid smile on his face as he looked at Hartley. "I'm so fucking gay, aren't I?"
