( quentin, you had to bring up corpses. enjoy a healthy dose of bad vibes in the brain chat. god, what DID happen to Agnete's body? he sort of passed out too soon to know what happened there. )
Garbage and dead goddamn bodies is a pretty wide scale, you know that right? Jesus. ( .. . . .... .. . . ) This better not be a hypothetical that's not really a hypothetical.
I guess I'll appreciate the sparkle of it all when my blood starts moving through the rest of my body again. Now I see how Louis can live off these things, though, they're huge.
( Steve likes David, misses that dense English fucker a lot. but that guy was a pain in the ass with his "I'll handle it" attitude. sure, 9 times out of 10, he was right. but that 10th dentist would always be a fucking disaster. )
He's cool when he's not being an asshole. How's that.
He got it in his head that he had to deal with this Agnete thing on his own. Out of the blue, when we were trying to figure it out together. I'm still not sure if he really thought it would do something or if that king dude really pissed him off.
( Steve could stand to be WAY MORE CLEAR about how Louis threw a Targaryen King into a monster pit rn )
More like he made me his errand boy and then told me to warm the bench when it had a chance to get ugly. But we talked it out later. He said he thought he had to handle it on his own. I don't know.
( Louis had his reasons. Steve gets that now. he's decided to forgive, if not forget, since... he's gossiping about it rn. )
Being a vampire has to fuck you up though, right? At least he's not twiddling an evil mustache and calling us all worms.
( brain connections are SO annoying for an 80s guy that would like to keep his emotions to himself. because while Quentin gets the face value (🔪🔪🔪 you are so annoying) he also gets the undercurrent (this dude is so stupid (affectionate) (amused)). and on top of all of that, a blanket of overwhelming nostalgia that you only get when you are exposed to something super familiar.
basically: he missed this brat a lot, and even if Quentin already kind of knew that, now he gets to feel it too. )
[ He's still getting used to this, and the burst of affection warms the back of his throat so suddenly that Quentin mutters a whoa out loud and blinks back a swell of tears. That's nice. Weird. Uncomfortable. Nice.
( 100%. no question. Quentin has more than put his money where his mouth is on that one. the guy will have his back, or he will die trying. while this place isn't operating on the same rules they're used to, it's close enough. frankly, even if they got sent to the sunshine and roses and free puppies dimension — they'd still be a mismatched set. because nobody else will really get it, unless they lived through the fog too.
and while Steve is certain Quentin knows the road goes both ways — well, might as well put it out there. )
I got you too. Even if you're a complete pain in the ass. ( that's a funny way to phrase I really missed you. close enough, right??? )
[ He takes a beat to just enjoy that: Steve saying how he feels. It's not that it never happens, but with as stymied as he was the first time Quentin met him, it's important to enjoy every instance. He enjoys it for a quiet second. Then, flippantly: ]
At least I'm a clean pain in the ass. And helpful, unlike some. I'm gonna just...I dunno. Kick this to the side and come back for it later, maybe we can eat it or something.

Look, I think right now a dead rat on the floor is the least of our problems. Can't you just leave it?
