As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep

Logan Cabret. Twenty-one. I live on the nerdier side of life. You'll learn to deal.

[logancabret]

Did you say Whiskey?

Yes. Yes I did. And Discovery Channel but I have a feeling that isn't exactly your thing.

[logancabret]

Can I butter your muffin?

What the fuck..

Eh, why not.

[logancabret]

Discovery Channel and a bottle of JWhiskey?

My night has been mapped out completely.

[logancabret]

It’s a rare person that actually revolts me. Unfortunately I don’t know you well enough to compliment you better. Not that you aren’t beautiful of course, but as I said before I like to give compliments with meaning. 

Old fashioned though I may be I do admit to faltering. Just recently I slept with a girl just to do it. She’s lovely though and I truly have no issue with getting to know her better if she wishes to speak with me. I suppose that’s one area where we’ll differ. 

Well fortunately here everything is paid for asides from amenities and I bring home a very fair paycheck. You won’t have to worry all too much since most things we choose to have will be joint. 

Really? I find loads of people pretty obnoxious. But giving people the benefit of the doubt is my specialty. It's not even a problem you know. It still meant a lot. Well.. Thank you for saying I'm beautiful. You're very handsome yourself. I respect that. People far and few between actually mean what they say these days.

No one said that having differences is a bad thing. I don't find that very.. Well, I'll be honest. I don't find stuff like that very decent at all. But I was brought up a whole different way. But it's your life, you make the decisions, I respect that.

Yeah it definitely is a plus. But, I don't expect you to chip in too much money, Daniel. I will help out with getting stuff for in the apartment here and there, you know.  

[logancabret]

It may or may not have something to do with the slight fact that I find dorks completely and utterly adorable.

I don’t believe myself to be the mushy sort. However, I am admittedly old fashioned. Chivalry is not dead so far as i’m concerned, but that isn’t to say I have romantic ability because you’re going to have to take my word when I say that i’m completely lacking. 

At least that doesn’t sound too terribly bad. I worked in a coffee shop on campus to help pay for things when I was in school. 

Adorable? Not my first choice of things I'd like to be seen as but I'll take it. That's a whole hell of a lot better than revolting. 

Old fashioned is a lot better than the filth we have roaming around this century. I can't stand guys who sleep with girls just to do it. I find it.. Revolting. Oh I'm with you there. I'm not romantic at all as far as I can tell. Dating has never been up my alley.

Yeah very true. But.. It's still not the most ideal thing. But managing so I can eat is the best option.

[logancabret]

Being afraid of the dark doesn’t make you any less of a catch. It’s actually highly intelligent of you. You never know what’s in the dark so it’s not at all an irrational fear. 

I am actually working on a book, but I tend to get stuck on the more romantic bits of the story. Those are fairly difficult to come up with. I’m more then willing to listen to whatever you choose to show me though. 

What is it that you do do then? Career wise. 

A catch? Nicest thing I've heard sense I arrived. Your logic has made me seem a lot less like a dork and more like a rational, strong woman. I like you. 

I'd be absolutely no help there. Or I might be.. Just not anything too mushy. Only what I've pictured happening and all that. They are aren't they? Especially if you're like me and you have zero romantic ability. I'll take you up on that once I've found my book.

At the moment? Dingy coffee shop fifteen minutes away. It'll get better though.

[logancabret]

Are you? I don’t mind picking up a night light or two if you need one. I’ve got this nice LSD one already in the bathroom that way I don’t trip and fall on my face on the way there in the early hours of the morning. 

That’s amazing. I write sometimes too, but i’ve been stuck for an eternity. Since you write songs will I get to hear anything do you think?

That’s fascinating. I attended a theater class for a semester during my undergraduate program. It was a blast. 

What a great move. Telling my roommate I have a slight issue with the dark. I'm a real keeper. You really don't have to do that, Dan. I'll be alright. I like the way you think, though. That'll come in handy when I get up in the middle of the night.

Stuck? Are you working on a novel or something? Because that is actually really cool and I'd love to know more. Eh.. Maybe you will. I've never really been open about them. I'll probably end up asking you what you think of lyrics.

Same. I love it! Yeah, I'm not going out of my way to dream up some big carrier out of it though. Can't stand people who have a lot of money who just assume they've got talent because they're pretty. It's annoying.

[logancabret]

I guess I haven't been out of my room in what feels like days.. Hello, civilization.

[logancabret]

Guitar is great actually. I’ve got absolutely no problem with that. My brother used to play and the sound would kind of lull me to sleep most nights. 

Do you write your own songs by chance?

Excellent. I look forward to seeing the theatrics. 

Oh good. I'm glad you won't mind me playing here and there. That's adorable. I usually fall asleep to the sound of silence or fan of some sort. But I was super into music or TV's going when I slept.. Afraid of the dark and all.

I do. I'm better at writing lyrics than I am at writing stories. I still dabble though.

I bet. I majored in theater, it's going to be worth your while.

[logancabret]

Sometimes. I love my job and everything but sometimes I just want to come home and laze around. Quiet evenings sound amazing. Is it bad if i’m kind of already looking forward to them?

We’re of a similar mind it would seem. We differ in that you didn’t want friends and I did. They just weren’t something that I really had. I wasn’t bold enough to just speak to people the way i’m talking to you now. The characters on the pages of the books sufficed as company. 

Okay. I’d say pick you up at eight but I don’t really have to travel all that far to come and get you. 

I totally understand. I promise I'm not a loud, crazy roommate. The most you might hear some nights is my guitar. But I'm not really that loud with it. Not at all! We can lounge out on the couch together in silence with our books.

We are. It's uncanny really, minus being unsettling. Anyone would have been very lucky to have you as a friend. I understand that though. Growing up and having friends is always easier. Music was more of the 'friend' to me than reading but they're both pretty important.

That's a pretty good point. Just knock on my door. I'll act surprised and make it convincing.

[logancabret]

You’ll still be pretty much on your own though. I work from 9-5 and spend the rest of my time reading in either my room or the living room. 

Is that from a lack of experience with people or just a general disdain for the idiosyncrasies which many a man displays?

Great. Um…when are you available?

You must be exhausted when you get home. That doesn't deter me. I'll probably just end up sitting next to you with my own book. I like writing lyrics sometimes so there's that too.

A bit of both actually. I didn't exactly have friends growing up. But I also saw the impact they had and wasn't really into it.  Well. I don't work nearly as long as you do. So.. Whenever you think it's a good time.

[logancabret]

It’s a major relief isn’t it? I honestly expected meeting my roommate to be a very odd experience. 

Really? That must have got rather lonely at times growing up. I can’t really imagine what that must have been like. 

I’ve got no clue what i’m doing either actually. Um….may I take you out some time? 

Right. Could have been way worse. I mean.. We're living together in a big apartment. That's way more social interaction than I'm used to. You're pretty awesome though.

Well.. It was quiet. But I really didn't mind. I don't tend to like people all that much actually.  You're not doin' so bad, Dan. Yeah. I'd love to go out sometime. That'd be nice.

[logancabret]

I hardly think that is going to happen. But thanks for sharing, I’m Sarah by the way.

Oh I do. My grandmama is on the chunkier side of life. She's not unhappy though. Oh of course! Nice to meet you Sarah I'm Logan.

[logancabret]

No, that’s not it. What I mean is that my body needs to be super perfect because everything is made specially for me. And as for the Holidays, it’s not a problem. My mother put me on my first diet when I was 6 and did the same for my brother when he was 10. So yeah.

No I know that's what you meant. What I meant was that you're basically going to starve yourself so you can fit into a few outfits. Really living the dream. You guys must really be cheery on Christmas. Thin and bones eyeing the gravy.

[logancabret]

Neither. I am currently modeling and my agent says she got me an audition for Friday so yeah. 

So... You're just gonna not eat for the rest of the week? You must be some fun on Holidays.

[logancabret]

Um… I’ll take that in count, but I’m not sure I need it… at least not in like a week.

Um... Okay? Do you not like ice cream.. Or is it food in general?

[logancabret]

You have yourself a deal. 

Especially given the expense of going to University and having limited financial assistance because the government is splitting money between you and your four siblings. 

Is this the part where i’m supposed to ask you out on a date or offer to cook you dinner?

This is going pretty well.

I don't have any siblings so I can't relate.That would be a struggle, but look at you doing so well on your own now.  I dunno. I'm kind've new to this kind of stuff. But that sounds about right.. Yaknow, if you wanna.
