"I was curious. Don't you ever wonder what you're like on a different Earth? I was curious how consistent meta abilities are." Apparently very, usually abilities were the same and often the same people had them, it was rare that someone wouldn't have them if they had them here. "Because when I remove the glasses, people take note of how nice my eyes are. Like you just did." And no, he didn't need to vibe that, he just knew that because hell, why else would he bring that up? "Jealous?"

"I'm not even particularly fond of me here, I doubt any Earth would show me something I want to see." Hartley wasn't sure what to really make of this at all. "If he's happy, I'd envy that, if he isn't, I'd have more proof of being a fuck up and I'm quite done on that front." Hartley arched his eyebrows, mostly glad that the mask still obscured him and his eyes for the most part. Wishing it would also hid the rest of his face, because the last thing he needed to do was blush. "Of your eyeliner game? Not really. Not my style, I need more colour with my skin tone."

"Is that why you're blushing? Trying to get more tone. I like it, it works for you." Reverb put his glasses back on and then moved towards the window he'd entered. "I'm not suggesting or asking anything. All I'm saying is that we have the same job, we have flexible hours around each other and you have my number. If you're ever bored and want the delusion of this being something more, I'd happy to play pretend." Reverb had no intention of falling in love or anything but he was a pretty guy who clearly had interests. Yes, he was playing with that.

The delusion of this being something more.

Hartley didn't think Reverb could have hurt him this much if he had actually been trying to. He put his hand down on the couch, remembered when he'd sat there with Axel and they'd joked about spending their lives together. He knew that would never happen now, would probably have never happened regardless. What he really wanted now was to be alone and distract himself and hope that the blood would come out of his couch.

"I've settled for nothing instead of nothing much."

"Sounds boring. Enjoy your nothing."

Reverb shrugged and no, he made no attempt to talk to him about his baggage, see what was wrong or make a strange attempt to get him, he just shrugged and ducked back out of the window. "Call me if you ever want nothing much."
