I'm just showing you a training update.

Gaining so much muscle mass, I'm impressed by myself.

How's it going?

[viber]

You look so cool! How handsome and badass.

Barry got his ass kicked by the man in yellow, we found Ronnie and he's both alive and on fire AND it's nearly my brother's birthday, grandest holiday of the year.

And you're not here to be my date. Or moral support. I don't know if you could be my date, I never told them about the being into dude thing... I might take Caitlin.

[mostlyajerk]

I know about most of these things. Not about Dante's birthday though, it's only a holiday in very selective company apparently.

I could come back for your brother's birthday, you know? If you wanted me to. I could pretend to just be a friend, for you.

[viber]

I don't want to go but Caitlin guilt tripped me into feeling bad. I haven't actually gone home in well over a year. Which I'm thankful for. I don't actually think they even noticed anyway.

Nah, it's cool. Keep working out. I'd rather have a superhero than a non-date to a lame party.

[mostlyajerk]

Look, I know my parents suck about this and yours have a very bad track record, but they might be better than expected. Maybe it will bring you closer. Being honest with them.

Or, if not, maybe you can at least cause them to faint.

[viber]

Last time I was honest with them, my dad didn't speak to me for three months. Though what I said wasn't lovely but hell, that's not the way my family works. It's all denial, playing dumb and praising Dante, the one touched by God.

If I take Caitlin, it'll be cool. She bugged me, she has to back me up.

[mostlyajerk]

Okay.

Just, I'm still with you, all right? I know I do weird things every night and I'm hanging out in the town of let's not finish our conversation and just walk out of the room, but I'm still yours. I think about you a lot.

[viber]

I miss you too.

I can hit you up during the party. Live updates on the grand event like you're there with me? Could be fun. Not as fun as fighting crime but whatever.

[mostlyajerk]

Usually not so fun here. I'd much rather be working with you and Barry and Caitlin, trust me. Arrow's a dick most the time.

But that sounds good. Maybe it won't be so bad!

[viber]

Yeah but that's his appeal. A rebel with a cause who's all badass and dismissive. It's sexy. Everyone likes a bad boy.

I might get cake :D

[mostlyajerk]

He's really not. He's like a frat boy who got a reality check and is still arrogant as all hell, nothing sexy about that.

Cake is good! I love cake.

[viber]

I don't know, I'm into it. Not as into him as I am into you but I like that whole redemption arc thing. Kinda hot.

I'd bring you some but it's a bitch of a commute. I'll send Barry!

[mostlyajerk]

He's not even that hot! Just focus on crushing on Canary.

Is Barry tired of us sending him to and back yet?

[viber]

Did you tell her I love her and she's like the best thing ever?

No, he asked yesterday if we needed his help. He's like a cute puppy who wants our love to prevail. But to be fair, we were the first thing he saw when he woke up from the coma.

Us making out on his bed while lady gaga played... seriously couldn't have been gayer. Caitlin was right to yell at us.

[mostlyajerk]

I told her she'd be a cute couple with Felicity, does that count?

So what, you think he imprinted on us like a baby bird? ...because I can see it.

I for one think our gayness awoke him.

[viber]

Oh. I approve! Tell them to date.

Me too. I don't know, man, he follows me around a lot sometimes when he has no crime to stop. Sometimes it feels like I adopted a really cute puppy.

Definitely. Nothing else worked until we made out on his bed.

[mostlyajerk]

They are really cute actually. I mean, Canary's been through a lot, she doesn't just smile very often, but with Felicity? All the time. It's sweet.

I'm not sure why we thought it was appropriate to make out on his bed, but I suppose you can't argue with the results.

Also! What's your opinion on scars?

[viber]

Man. Can we just like set them up on a date and then let the magic take hold?

Because I told you that you looked handsome and then you called me hot and we became horny teenagers. Story of our lives.

Erm, varied and complex but I guess as long as it's not like a horrible traumatic life changing scar, it's kind of hot?

[mostlyajerk]

I'll see what I can do. This city is so much less suited for sitcom shenanigans.

Yes, that sounds about right. We're teenagers. I don't even have an excuse.

Good, because I'll have a few more scars than I used to have by the time I get back.

[viber]

Starling is depressing and dangerous, I'm not shocked.

Me neither. I just wanted to make out with you and that bed happened to be there.

... that's not reassuring.

[mostlyajerk]

It's ridiculous, I miss sunshine.

I got hurt a couple of times, I'm injured right now, but I'm all set to recover. No need to worry, it's just part of it and I don't heal like Barry.

[viber]

Barry said he'll bring you a picture of how sunny central city is.

Huh. Yeah. So. Can't you be like an indoorsy hero?

[mostlyajerk]

Barry is a dork.

That's you, babe.

Hey, you said you didn't mind scars.

[viber]

I do mind that before they're scars, they're potentially fatal bleeding wounds that could kill you.

[mostlyajerk]

Couldn't have killed me, they missed my throat by too much, amateurs.

...too soon to joke?
