i'm not complaining.[ weren't you just complaining about not being able to sit properly, eddie? huh??? ]i'm also pretty sure i scored the jackpot here.
then i won't say it. easy peasy. [ the follow up question is more complicated. so it takes a while for eddie to type something out here. he doesn't really think steve would even joke about the shit that puts eddie off. ]not really? i mean there's shit but i don't think you're planning to go back to high school nicknames?
( this feels like a lose lose situation. if Steve is honest, he doesn't have any clue what people called Eddie in high school. it's not like they were ever close! and yet, it feels kinda bad to admit, somehow. )
I don't really know what people called you, Ed. Unless... you mean the freak, thing? That's all I can remember.
[ not actually the worst but that's the one eddie had been thinking of. ]that's one on the list. but like i said, i don't think it'll be a problem.
you're welcome to see if you can get me to veto any ridiculous pet names.[ that kind of sounds like a more fun challenge and a better turn to the conversation than thinking of shitty high school moments. ]
I'll keep that in mind. I think I've got it covered as it is. ( how many petnames can you give your ROOMMATE, anyway??? huh???? god this has all gotten so far out of hand!! ) I gotta focus on the shopping or it'll never get done, all right? Give me an hour or two, and I'll come get you.
two hours? just remember it's just the two of us and not the whole army of kiddos.[ which, to be fair, probably does require two hours of shopping to get the right stuff. ]see ya soon, stevie. i'll be here, folding laundry and slowly forgetting any words that aren't a line from 'wake me up before you go go!'
[ but hey! folding laundry. what an improvement from shoving it right back in the hamper all crinkled and shit. ]
An hour or two, that means probably somewhere in the middle. I'm making you do the errands next time, if you think that is too long.
( it does take awhile, even if they're living out of a van right now! geez, mr. impatient!! ...though, probably Steve will buckle up and get his ass in gear, now, cuz he's a sucker.
and he's definitely gonna do it humming Wham! now, so, nice going, Eddie. )
