I actually kind of forgot?
I mean I didn't forget when my birthday is I just
Didn't realize today was today already until like. An hour ago.

[originallutece]

Ah. The plot thickens.

And so what happened an hour ago, that you suddenly can't come to work?

1/2

[overshirts]

Something came up.
I said that already.

[overshirts]

Okay, alright.
Look.
Someone wants to take me on a date?
And I really, really want to go.
I'm gonna go.
This is me calling in personal
Texting in personal, whatever
And I swear I'll stay longer or work an extra day whenever you need me to make up for it

[originallutece]

[Hmm.

On the one hand: she really is quite annoyed, because this is far from professional and she expects more from him. On the other hand: it's his medication they're working on, and it isn't so urgent he needs to come in. She can manage just fine on her own.]

We'll discuss that in person, I assure you.

And next time, make sure your date damn well schedules things with more than an hour's notice.

[overshirts]

[ hhhhhhh. ]

Uh.
That was actually kind of my fault too?
I slept in way late so I only found out after I woke up but if I had gotten up earlier I probably could have given you more notice
So
Sorry
I swear this won't happen again
I maybe swear to try not to let this happen again

I'll hold you to that, Stiles.

But. With that said, and with your assurance that this will not happen again without a good reason . . . what are you doing for this birthday date?

[overshirts]

I don't actually know.

[give her strength]

[originallutece]

[--although actually--]

This person must mean a great deal to you, then, if you're that eager to go out with them.

[ stiles types and deletes and types and delete and types and deletes over the coarse of five minutes - either he's writing a novel, or he's indecisive, but that little dancing ellipsis makes a number of appearances before stiles finally settles on a response. ]

Well, he's kind of my boyfriend, so.
Yes?
Well not kind of.
I don't know why I said kind of.
He is definitely not kind of my boyfriend.

[originallutece]

Is that a "he is definitely my boyfriend", then, or a "definitely not"?

[overshirts]

The first one.

[originallutece]

Congratulations, then. I'm glad for you both.

Who is it?

[overshirts]

Thanks?
I've never been congratulated for dating someone.
Is that
Do people normally congratulate other people for that?

[ because he never has, but what does he know when it comes to relationships and customary whatevers? his experience is admittedly kind of... narrow. ]

That's not really important, is it?

[originallutece]

It is to me, yes.

And it's not unheard of. You're in a new relationship, which is a positive thing, and an occasion for minor celebration. So: congratulations, I'm happy for you, so on and so forth.

[overshirts]

Wow, if that wasn't the most "I'm obligated to say something positive in response to the change in your relationship status because society says so" thing I've ever heard.

[ he laughed though, so it's fine. also just going to casually not answer that other question, thank you. ]

[originallutece]

Oh, hush. You asked, I explained. I don't feel obligated, I'm trying to tell you that I'm pleased for you.

And I noticed you didn't answer me. Are you so shy?

[overshirts]

No.

[ well? WELL? ]

[originallutece]

Well?

[overshirts]

[overshirts]

[overshirts]

Derek.
