Bah.

[ looks down at their hands though, carefully curling his fingers around his. ]

[throughbamboo]

You know I'm right.

[gives his hand a squeeze, then continues moving his thumb]

[doggonemad]

It's so annoyin'.

[throughbamboo]

[a snort]

The ones like this usually are at first. 'Least until ya figure 'em out.

[doggonemad]

I meant you bein' right.

[throughbamboo]

Oh.

You should be used to that by now.

[doggonemad]

Fuck you.

[throughbamboo]

[gives him a huge, shit-eating grin]

I'd let ya.

[doggonemad]

Asshole!

[throughbamboo]

You say the sweetest things, bro.

[doggonemad]

At least yer callin' me "bro" more consistently.

[throughbamboo]

[he pauses at that]

. . . feels like I should have been this whole time.

[doggonemad]

Lemme tell ya, it's felt real weird havin' ya call me by my nom de plume fer the last few days.

[throughbamboo]

[huffs softly]

Yeah, it is to me now too.

How I think about it in my head . . . it's gonna sound weird, but it switched around? The way I think 'bout ya.

[doggonemad]

No, I get it. It was that way fer me, too. I've been forcin' myself ta use yer "name."

[throughbamboo]

. . .

I don't think you've ever used my name in any of my visions.

[doggonemad]

've used it once or twice in mine, but mostly fer effect.

[throughbamboo]

Feels like it means somethin' when ya do.

[doggonemad]

Right.

Anyway, fer the love of fuck, don't call me "Gray." It's been drivin' me up the damn wall. I'm yer bro.

[throughbamboo]

I won't call ya that unless I gotta. Like how it should be.

. . . you still wanna keep that to ourselves? Only callin' each other that when it's just us?

[doggonemad]

Ugh, but then what're we gonna do out in the open?

[throughbamboo]

[he frowns a little, glancing down at their hands. His thumb hasn't stopped moving]

Callin' ya bro in front of other folks wouldn't be that weird. It's callin' ya that to other people where we'd have to explain it.

[doggonemad]

That's the only way it'll work fer now . . .

[throughbamboo]

Mmm . . . I don't like it, but it's the least annoyin' option.

[doggonemad]

Just don't fuckin' use "Gray" 'round me. It sounds weird.
