“Oh yeah, I forgot. You’re only using me to hang out with my dog.” Oliver teased. Taking one of the cushions on his side of the couch, he threw it at Law and then laughed softly. “Great, how about next weekend?” He asked, smiling. “But a good man can’t always be trusted to be good.” Oliver completed the saying. “Yeah, pretty much. The worse to deal with are people you can’t read. They’re unpredictable, you can’t tell which side they’re on.” Oliver nodded, looking up at the other. Usually, he wouldn’t be comfortable talking about what had happened with Zeffer with anyone. But that wasn’t the case now. “I guess you’re right. But it’s still a crime.” He pointed out, and then shrugged.
“Duh,” he accentuated it with a playful roll of his eyes. Lawrence caught the pillow and used it to settle more comfortably into the couch with a wide smirk. “I mean, I may be booked but I’ll check to see if I can move things around.” He joked with a small laugh. “Yeah. Those people are the most evil.” His voice was soft, sounding far off for a moment before he met Oliver’s gaze again, shaking his head at the other male. “Don’t you know how this friendship works, Ollie?” He questioned him with a stern look, only partially mocking. “I’m the bad friend that makes you feel like anything you do can’t be worse than what I do and if that’s not the case right now then obviously I’m failing which means I need to go cause some trouble. Then what I get out of it is that maybe your endless hope and optimism will somehow spread to me, unlikely, but a fool can hope can’t he? Not that I’m really looking forward to ever being all sunshine and such but if I ever get out of here I need to at least be able to pretend. To make friends and shit. Survive in the real world.”
