( * he's never been the type to push. if blair doesn't want to talk about it, nudging it on won't make it easier. rather, he'd smile. )

( he wants to rip his hair out ; why does kim have to lack any oversight ?! can't he go out on his own just *once? )

⠀ ⠀ eh, well, i'm doing fine. it's good to see you! what's up lately?

( his smile is somewhat forced. )
