“That’s not what I mean. I mean the part where you undermine yourself because you think what you’re feeling is invalid. You bury it and shove it away because you think it doesn’t matter or that it’s insignificant or selfish. It’s not. That’ll eat you alive.”

“But the problem is I feel like it is insignificant. I spent so much time feeling like worrying helped the last time, but it didn’t. And now I’m here and something can be done about finding him, so my feelings about the whole thing are just going to get in the way.”

“I have to do something. I’m not supposed to look for him, so I’m going to work. I’m not sitting in the empty apartment.”

“Perhaps I should just layer up some more. That always seems to do the trick.”

“Yeah, it seems to work for most people. Much better than melting things off.”

“That… is an interesting suggestion. Yeeaaah, I’d rather not melt them off. I’m rather fond of them, thanks.”

"Fair enough. And sitting in front of a fire would be a bit inconvenient.”

“Why can’t we work in clear conditions…… when it’s not twenty-one degrees….. and snowing… My balls are freezing.”

“I’d suggest putting some of those palm warmers in your pockets, but that might get really uncomfortable. And do the opposite of freezing your balls.”

Are you going to be a waiter all your life?

I hope not, but acting on stage hasn’t been paying a lot.

ARE YOU A TOP OR A BOTTOM

I’ve been both. Why? Is this for a survey?

who has the best butt in town?

Wow, that’s really easy. The person with the best butt would have to be... Marge. Don’t you think?

— James took a deep breath and pressed his lips together, suddenly more aware of his left arm than he had been in a long time. He sat at the piano bench to the right of his brother, placing his right hand on the keys, surprised to see that it wasn’t shaking. He hated the barrier that had built itself around his old self, knowing that this was as close as he’d gotten to being the person he had wanted to be for his brother. ❝ Alright. I’ll try. ❞

➳ Grainger watch James. He knew this was hard for him just as well as anyone, but he was starting to think that the first step to fixing everything was to get him doing something they did before. Thus the piano after hours at work. It wasn’t like they could afford one let along fit it into the apartment. Thought that would be pretty interesting. ❝ If you don’t want to do it anymore, we’ll stop. What do you want to play?”
