Fuck you. [He does like that smell, but he's not about to admit it. Instead, he takes his shirt off and tosses it on Adam's head, then heads for fridge to get another beer] I smell better than all of you bitches!
[Adam just snorts and snaps his fingers in the air mockingly, tossing Kavinsky's shirt and stripping out of his as well. He follows Kavinsky to get another soda.] What scale are we using?
[He throws a soda at Adam's head. He isn't sure if Adam will catch it or not, but hey, whatever. Then he goes to dunk his head in the sink and get the sticky out, at least] The scale goes from worst to best, so... Parrish to Kavinsky. Obviously.
[He does manage to catch it and checks Kavinsky's shoulder while he taps the top of the can a few times before opening it. Not a single drop comes bursting out.]
This system is flawed and heavily biased. We can't use that as a metric.
[Kavinsky kicks out behind himself and catches Adam's leg, then flips his hair back, getting Adam wet as he straightens himself out] Of course we can. It's not biased. The world knows I'm better than you are.
[He trips a bit but doesn't fall. Some of the soda does spill out onto the counter, though and he grimaces when he's hit with water.] I highly doubt that.
Really? I mean, yeah, Greenmantle hired Mr. Gray in the first place, but he was our Latin professor this year also, before he quit. You don't remember him? [And he and Ronan were the reason he did quit, but that's a secret between himself, Ronan, and the Gray Man.]
It would have happened anyway. Better to do it and have people left that'll still talk to you than people who care even less about you than the ones who did before.
Do you think people are gonna keep hanging around you after high school that aren't high school kids once they don't have to spend every day with you? No one's friends with their drug dealer.
[Kavinsky narrows his eyes at Adam, then goes to grab another beer from the fridge to supplement the one in his hand, and pushes past him] Fuck you, Parrish.
You're only saying that because you know it's true. I'm not trying to be a dick here, but you have to realize all this stuff here at Aglionby isn't going to matter the moment you graduate. College or not, once they don't have to be around Joseph Kavinsky, they're going to put as much distance as they can between you and them.
[Kavinsky's jaw clenches, then he turns back to him, putting his arms out] Yeah, man. I got it, alright? I have no fucking friends. They all came to me to get shit from me and I was perfectly fucking fine with it cause I didn't want to be alone. I got nothing after Aglionby but Ronan. [He shrugs] That's fucking fine with me. I don't have shit to give them anymore anyway.
You wanna tell me some more about how no one'll want to be around Joseph Kavinsky once we're done? I already fucking know that. I tried to kill myself, remember? I'm over it. I'm over all of it.
You have us, too. [Adam might complain, but the events of the past few weeks have gone a long way with him.] Well, I can't speak for Blue or Gansey, but. What you did in Carolina, the stuff you sacrificed before then. It meant a lot. You think I'd be on you about homework and those assholes at school if I didn't care about what happens to you? So Ronan's not the only person you have here. [It's the closest you're gonna get to him admitting friendship. Revel.]
[Kavinsky stops, going quiet for a long moment. He never thought he'd hear Adam say any of them. Hell, he never thought he'd be in the position to even care about what Adam had to say. Yet, it all means something, because he does care. He has no idea why Adam would care about what happens to him, but Adam hasn't ever tried to use him for anything, so that's a big thing in his book]
Wow, Parrish. Could you be more gay? I swear to god, if you bust out a guitar and start singing Kumbaya, I'm so out of here. [But he's smiling, cause that was fucking sweet, and it makes him feel a little less on the lonely side]
You're a fucking dork. [he snorts, waving a hand at him as he walks away, but calls out] I'm showering after you, so don't use up all the god damn hot water!
