"Excuse me? I’m not a nutcase, you should be grateful. You do look like you could need some alcohol, Issy."

[issy--richardson]

"Gee thanks, Dom, love you too."

[dominic-hudson]

"Awesome, because I bought a lot of new alcohol before I found out about the whole debts shit."

[issy--richardson]

"You're a nutcase. But yes, today can be alcohol in bed day, just us two."

[damon-hughes]

So how was Vegas, though?

[issy--richardson]

Stressful, which is probably why I'm glad I'm back.

[ltderickj]

"Four. Just turned four in August. She’s a handful."

[issy--richardson]

"She sounds adorable, regardless."

[dominic-hudson]

"Hm-hm. Does that mean we can get drunk in our bed now?"

[issy--richardson]

"Yes. Yes it does."

[dominic-hudson]

"Yes. 100 % yes."

[issy--richardson]

"Good. That makes me so, so happy."

[dominic-hudson]

"I…"

"—yeah. I’d really like to as well. I like your place a lot."

[issy--richardson]

"Yeah? Really? Oh.. yey!"

[dominic-hudson]

"Yes, but… I never thought I’d live with someone one day. Seriously… live with someone."

[issy--richardson]

"I-.. you don't have to, just know that, okay? But I'd really, really like you to, Dom."

[dominic-hudson]

"… are  you serious right now?"

[issy--richardson]

"Yeah. I mean-- it's logical, right? You spend most of your time at my place anyway, and.. well it'd mean more money to help you pay off the debts, you know? You don't have to say yes, it was just an idea, but I'm only thinking logics."

[dominic-hudson]

"I don’t want you to give me money. I’m not with you to get all your money."

[issy--richardson]

"Oh trust me, I know that, Dom, but I want to help you."

"--but, then.. if you don't want me to give you money, sell your apartment. Move in with me."

[dominic-hudson]

"What do you mean with that?"

[issy--richardson]

"I mean I'm helping out with your money problems. By giving you money."

[dominic-hudson]

"I… fine. As long as you don’t want to give me any money."

"Just you and me. I like the sound of that."

[issy--richardson]

"Well now, that's just tough."

[dominic-hudson]

"But it’s not. My problem is my problem, and I’m not going to burden you with it if you just had an awful week yourself."

"That does sound pretty good."

[issy--richardson]

"I don't care, it's not a burden, and I want to help you."

"Great, then. Just you and me."

[dominic-hudson]

"This is my problem, Issy. It’s my fault. I don’t want you to worry about it. I’ll get through."

"Yeah. To be honest, I was pretty damn grumpy without you around."

[issy--richardson]

"No, Dominic, I want to help you. Because I don't like seeing you like this and-- your problem's my problem, now."

"How about we just stay in for the next two days?"

[diariesndreams]

[dominic-hudson]

"It’s too much for sure. So yes, it’s a fucking lot."

"Of course that means something. I thought a lot about you as well. Maybe… I did miss you more than a little."

[issy--richardson]

"I'm going to help you as much as I can, okay?"

"Yeah? Well.. I'd have hoped you did."

[dominic-hudson]

"Well, if you say so… um, dad’s going to jail now. Which is good, really. Except that somebody has to pay for his debts, and as somebody who spent a lot of the money he did not actually possess… I’m sitting on a pretty big pile of debts now. Probably for the rest of my life as well."

"Of course you did."

[issy--richardson]

"--ah. Right, no.. that's a pretty big thing. How much is it? Like.. a lot?"

"I'm really deadly serious. Thought about you a lot, if it actually means anything."
