Cassie: WAIT WHAT???????????????????????????????????

Cassie: did she threaten you? would she treaten ME? why would scotty date such a MONSTER?????

[a minute passes]

Cassie: sorry that might have been an over reaction.

Cassie: but aw! i love you! i dunno if that's super true, i can't think of any reason he - or anyone - might like me, but i appreciate it.

Louis: Only like every day, sweetheart. But I did keep trying to fuck her boyfriend. I think you'd be safe.

Louis: You're very easy to love, Cass. You're sexy and funny and you care. He'd be stupid not to like you.

Louis: Buy him candy. Hell, buy him flowers. It's a very Cassie thing to do.

Cassie: ohhhhhhhhh my bad. hey, maybe we SHOULD date him!

Cassie: yeah, that's true. don't ya think she's kinda scary? it's hard to see scotty with her... i mean, you've met her a bunch and i haven't but... scary! also i have like six copies at home and another three at my dad's apartment, babe! but i get it.

Cassie: oh. well, um, i don't LIKE like him, i just like him the same way like you! and i want him to like me because when people don't like me it makes me think about why and when i think about why i start thinking about why i also don't like me!

Louis: I maybe wouldn't hate that.

Louis: Scotty kinda has this way of making people melt around him. An effect I didn't have on Indra, who wanted me dead and maybe even had the means to make it happen. But something about them just kinda clicked.

Louis: Cassie, there's tons of reasons to like you. You should like you, we all like you. We fucking love you.

Cassie: SEE!!!! i'm not obsessed with him, YOU are. are you guys secretly dating and not telling me? is he over his ex? are you over yours?

Cassie: if you're dating scotty you probably shouldn't kiss me anymore because i don't think I'M dating scotty.

Cassie: huh. i don't think he's my type, why would he be my type? the only guys you know i've liked or dated have been JERKS!!! and, well, you. (not a jerk or someone i have dated, duh!)

Cassie: you're being super nice about this though which i also didn't expect.

Louis: THIS relationship. Meaning the three of us. Platonic, not romantic. Friendship, relationship, whatever you wanna call it. At this stage we all might be dating Scotty.

Louis: Big fucking question. I don't know if Scotty will ever be over her. She's a hard woman to get over. As for me, I've got a poetry collection I'm flogging if you wanna try and read between the lines?

Louis: Cassie, this guy IS a jerk. But I'm being nice because I wanna see you happy. And for whatever backwards-ass reason you seem to like this guy.

Cassie: hmmm, i mean, i believe you but you wouldn't actually hurt him, right?

Cassie: he isn't a d-word! but, ya really think he's boyfriend material? for me or for you? maybe i SHOULD give him your number!

Cassie: (duh, i always think you're sexy!)

Cassie: candy IS great! i think he likes candy? he's super into fitness (duh, you've seen him hehe) but everyone likes candy right?

Louis: Nah. Scotty is the tough guy in this relationship.

Louis: Not my type, sweetheart. Sounds like he could be yours though.

Louis: Sure, and if not, might be a good way for him to stop being all uptight?

[louisdenvers]

TEXT: CASS

Cassie: yeah but you'd proposition a paperclip! hehe

Cassie: umm what? you wouldn't actually do that would you? also i'm not saying you'd lose but he IS a boxer...

Cassie: ummmm. he's english! and he likes doctor who! and he's obsessed with his niece because i once heard him facetiming his sister and it was super cute and it kinda made me broody which is crazy because i do NOT want kids but it's like when i see you with kittens, y'know? it's sexy! and that's really not the point anyway

Louis: Give yourself some credit. You're much hotter than a paperclip.

Louis: I've got a trick or two up my sleeve myself, Cass.

Louis: Alright... so English dickhead with a soft spot for time travel and his family. Sounds like great boyfriend material.

Louis: (But thanks for the further confirmation that you think I'm sexy)

Louis: Does he like candy? You like candy.

Cassie: AWWWWW :D

Cassie: not at the mean bit but you LIKED me :D i mean we're besties now so i know that but :D still :D

Cassie: sure, yeah, duh! but... if i DID get him a gift...?

Cassie: i am NOT!!! i just hate being hated :( i think he's neat and we work great together when he's not being a jerk! it's great for the kids! but then when he's being a jerk it makes me wanna cry and then when i think too hard about crying i DO cry and he just kinda stares at me all awkward and goes back to his kids and you KNOW when i start crying i can't ever stop and i just need a hug and he is NOT a hugger! ugh

Louis: Of course I liked you, dummy. How many times did I proposition you in college?

Louis: It would be better if you guys did get along, simply because if he makes you cry one more time I'm gonna have to seriously beat the shit out of him.

Louis: Hell, I don't know, what does he like? Not that I'm on board with this plan.

TEXT: CASS

Cassie: ummmmmmm

Cassie: he isn't soulless! and actually LOTS of people dislike me! YOU found me annoying when we first met!

Cassie: but he's nice, i just... i think i must be doing something wrong to annoy him and i just wanna do something that makes him like me! as a friend! in a friendly way that friends like each other!

Louis: Nah, I didn't. I used to be pretty mean to girls I liked back then.

Louis: You're not doing anything wrong, darlin'. You can't make somebody like you with gift-giving. If you guys are gonna be friends, he's just gonna have to wise up.

Louis: For the record, though, you sound like a lovesick puppydog.

TEXT: CASS

Cassie: i didn't say that!!! you're, like, totally sending mixed messages!

Cassie: what!? how did you even guess... ugh, whatever

Cassie: soooooo... help?

Louis: A guy that's hot, cold, then hot again and has a cute butt? The only person in the world who is ever soulless enough to be mean to you? Pretty obvious.

Louis: Why're you getting this clown a present, again?

[louisdenvers]

TEXT: CASS

Cassie: what????? I'M not obsessed with scotty, are YOU?

Cassie: uhhh, sure? i dunno if he'd want it...

Cassie: what? why? what did i do? you're supposed to be HELPING me!!

Louis: You sure seem to think so!

Louis: This is about gym guy, isn't it?

[louisdenvers]

TEXT: CASS

Cassie: your number isn't a gift? and why don't you want me to give guys your number? because of scotty?

Cassie: i do love candyfloss...

Cassie: no! not you, silly! this guy is a.. .i guess he's a friend because i think he's neat and great! but also he hates me. but ALSO he was super nice to me? and he's hot and just like scotty HE has a cute butt. but then i still think he hates me. and sometimes i hate him, but then i remember that i don't hate people because that's mean, and sometimes i really LIKE him but then when i like him that annoys him even more. y'know?

Louis: What's this fascination with Scotty, huh? You wanna give your new friend my number? Go right ahead, darlin'. I guarantee it's a gift.

Louis: Baby, you are painfully transparent.

[louisdenvers]

TEXT: CASS

Cassie: hehehe :D

Cassie: HMMM way to ASSUME!! what if it's a girl? what if it's not a girl and it's SCOTTY and i just need your expertise since you're always staring at his butt like it hoods the secrets to the universe? huh? what then? :D

Cassie: but fine, it's a non scotty guy, and that's why i need YOU! what do i get a guy that is, like, not a friend but also not NOT a friend? a guy that is more than a friend but at the same time isn't... more... than a friend? if you had a girl in your life who was your friend but also More than a friend but at the same time not at all, what would you want?

Louis: Guy can be gender-neutral! If it's a girl, just go ahead and give her my number. If it was Scotty, you'd just say it was Scotty. You're as much as an expert in Scottyology as I am, except I spend more time staring at his ass. I know how your brain works, Cass. Candyfloss, kittens, kindness.

Louis: A not-friend friend? Who is more than a friend but not a... boyfriend? Am I following that line of thought?

Louis: Cass, are you just describing me?

[louisdenvers]

TEXT: CASS

Cassie: UMMM cute? you're the cutest? how are you the cutest guy ever?? :D

Cassie: i need GIFT advice which i know is crazy because i'm me and i have an insane need to hyperfixate on every human i've ever interacted with as well as every interest they've ever had which means i am usually actually the best gift giver ever (let me have this not so humble brag it's all i have)

Cassie: BUT... i need help

Louis: You might just bring it out in me.

Louis: Alright, I'll bite. Who's the lucky guy? Must be someone pretty important for you to be this wound up about gettin a good gift.
