[Adam is truly lucky that Kavinsky took the time out to help him with all of this. He tosses the Bentley keys back at Adam, then holds out a cellphone] Stop driving that piece of shit around. And use this, so I don't have to call that church place and make sex sounds at the phone.
Yeah, I finished the book. That was fucked up. I liked it.
[He takes the keys and hesitates at the phone, but finally takes it. Good luck on getting him to actually use it.] I like my Honda.
Alright. So tell me about it and how it relates to your quote. [He leans over and pulls two cherry cokes from his mini fridge, offering one to Kavinsky.]
[Kavinsky gives him a satisfied look] Is that supposed to be a Honda? For real? It's unidentifiable at this point.
Okay, so... I almost stopped reading the book cause it was right in the beginning and I was like, why the fuck would I go through all the trouble... [He looks at the coke like Adam is crazy, but he grabs it anyway] You need beer in there. Anyway, so there's that guy and he finds those manuscripts and by the time he's done trying to figure it out, everything's changed and nothing old will work anymore.
That's fucking crazy. We should take it apart. [We? Yes, we. He's like a kid when it comes to getting attention and Adam's giving it to him, so he's taking it]
So he's talking about coping mechanisms, right? For all the change going on. And awareness. And... you're not the person you once were because of this awareness that something or someone gave you. And... that's as far as I got. Is that even remotely okay?
We're not taking it apart. [At least not until he has some time alone. He still hasn't listened to the tape, and Ronan insisted when he brought it up.]
That depends on you, K. [It just slips out and he isn't even aware he says the nick name, it seems.] Do you know what you want to write on now?
[Adam's face scrunches in frustration, going back and forth for a moment until he finally comes clean with it.]
Look. I lo-like Ronan, too, okay? You have to be blind not to see it by now. That doesn't mean I'm going to try and steal him from you, or whatever it is you're thinking right now. We're friends. Just that.
[Kavinsky crosses his arms over his chest, rather defensively, but he doesn't start hurling insults, or posturing. Ronan wants him to get along with all of them, and he sees how much they all have each other's backs, how much they all stick up for each other.
Deep down he kinda wants that, and Adam really doesn't seem like the stealing type... which then has him realizing that he might even trust the guy, so he shrugs, then nods] Okay. As long as that's how shit stays.
I'm not gonna not talk about him. And if you live here now, you might wanna get used to seeing shit around you. I'm just sayin' facts here, Parrish. Not trying to rub it in. [Though with Kavinksy, it's bound to happen sooner or later]
You do it all the time! You talk like you're the only person that has a right to him and his time, and any time someone tries to contradict that, you go around and start saying no one knows the real him except you. You explicitly bring up the fact that you two are fucking any time someone says something you don't like. If that's not the definition of rubbing it in, I don't know what is! [Sorry for the word vomit, Kavinsky. He's been holding this in for a while now.]
I can get over you two being intimate. Hell, I'd never talk to you if that wasn't the case. But the stuff you say makes it goddamn impossible for me to get over the fact that he chose you sometimes.
[Kavinsky narrows his eyes, because word vomit puts him on the defensive] Parrish, I've never once tried to talk him out of, or told him not to go hang out with you losers. I never fucking said I should have all of his time. And hey, guess what? No one fucking knows him the way I do, so get over it. And I like talking about fucking him. Boofuckinghoo. I'm stating facts, not rubbing it in. And you know what? Maybe sometimes you assholes deserve it, if I do happen to say something like that.
[Sometimes Adam's got it- this way of shutting Kavinsky up, with the way he words things. So after his own word vomit and what Adam just said, he shuts up]
Alright, fine. I'll try to lay off. But I'm not making any promises.

Alright. [He nods, genuinely surprised Kavinsky actually gave it a go, but not wanting to ruin the moment, says nothing on that.] Keep going.

Are you seriously gonna live here now?
no subject
My stuff is here, isn't it?
no subject
Yeah. Why?
no subject
I figured it was about time for me to. Gansey and Lynch have been wanting me to. Why do you care?
no subject
I don't care. Not one bit. I'm also not leaving just cause of that.
no subject
[He fixes Kavinsky with an odd look.] I didn't say anything about making you leave. [Recently.]
no subject
[He eyes Adam, then nods] Good, cause I'm not. Besides, Lynch would fight for me.

Alright. I'd appreciate you stop with the little comments, too. It's hard enough trying to get over him without you trying to rub it in.
