With a guy, I mean. I've flirted with girls before. I just... it's gotta be different though, right?
( how would Quentin know, the guy just said he's never flirted with a guy before either. except for... friend flirting.
wait a minute. )
Casual friend stuff. Right. ( wrong, actually. because that makes no sense to Steve at all, he's never once flirted with one of his friends. he antagonistically flirted with Billy Hargrove but that is obviously different.
is that what this is? friend flirting? WHERE IS HIS EMOTIONAL SUPPORT LESBIAN WHEN HE NEEDS HER )
Right! You know, slapping your friends ass on the way to the showers or complimenting their outfit by saying they look hot. [ Casual friend stuff! Right? ]
Right. That's fine. Friend flirting. Got it. I can do that.
( as compared to... real flirting. but since neither of them know what that is, so... friend flirting might be even better!!! less pressure. great idea. he's not disappointed by this development at all. )
[ DOWNING PILLS AND LAYING FACE DOWN ON THE FLOOR. Claudette going "Are you okay?" and him going "YUP. KEEP MOVING." He has to sit up enough to reply. ]
Sure. I'll let you know. I'll be honest. I'm honestly flirting.
( because the opposite of honest flirting would be dishonest flirting and Steve would never do that to Quentin!!! only honest boy on boy friend flirting. absolutely )
A little bit. Especially because it’s sinking in I granted you permission to slap my ass in the middle of this. [ Quentin why are you POINTING THAT OUT… ]
A walk? Watch a movie that’s not going to immediately murder you? Steal and then play those carnival games? I don’t know. I’ve never been on a normal date even. Fog dating probably needs some more improvising.
( honestly, those are all pretty decent suggestions. Quentin could definitely romance this jock if he hadn't accidentally friendzoned their flirting. )
What do you mean, you've never been on a normal date? Only like, doubles or something?
( Steve was there when Quentin said he had never really flirted with anyone, okay, but still. the concept of the guy having no experience whatsoever dating is a bit hard to wrap his head around. )
[ Woe to anyone witnessing him text during this entire exchange. Now he's got his knees to his chest and is screaming into a medkit then throwing it at a tree looking like Smeagol having a shitfit. ]
Like I've never been on a date. In any context.
[ This probably could've been remedied if he put his sights on anyone that wasn't Nancy Holbrook, the one person that wouldn't show. He could've asked one of those girls that came to swim practices to look at the boys or something. ]
