santa knows what you've been up to .. and who you've been kissing! that's why you're our first entry on the naughty list.

[ᅟᅟgibson girl, @sainticide]

why did my mother marry this man? the thought of the same blood running through our veins disgusts me, repulses me, enrages me, terrifies me.

[‍ ‍ ོ ‍ 𝖨𝖹𝖠𝖭 ．．． @lNDECORUM]

watching a certain Boy. not doing anything else, just watching from a distance, with the intent to make him feel paranoid and uncomfortable.

[۟ @godsfell]

a child weaned on poison considers harm a comfort.

[‍ ‍ ོ ‍ 𝖨𝖹𝖠𝖭 ．．． @lNDECORUM]

we have some younger teachers, too. and we've got, like, a school psychologist, right .ᐣ we oughta.

❪ he snorts, and then shrugs again. ❫

hm. dunno.

know any cute guys who're single .ᐣ

❪ a grin. ❫

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

True... Boomers can be hard to predict sometimes, but I'll give it a think.

(He takes a sip as well and sighs. Life sure is rough sometimes.)

What about you? Do you need help with anything?

[‍ ‍ ོ ‍ 𝖨𝖹𝖠𝖭 ．．． @lNDECORUM]

true . . .

❪ shrugging. ❫

i doubt we know better than, y'know, the ancient adults. but it's your choice.

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

(Ah. He grimaces a little, as he can't think of an adult he trusts.)

Technically we're all adults, right?

[‍ ‍ ོ ‍ 𝖨𝖹𝖠𝖭 ．．． @lNDECORUM]

good man.

❪ he takes a sip of his drink. ❫

choose an adult you trust, or who you at least think will handle it well. we can't do too much.

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

Yeah... yeah! Alright.

(He draws a deep breath and nods.)

That's what I'll do. Hopefully I confide in the right person.

[‍ ‍ ོ ‍ 𝖨𝖹𝖠𝖭 ．．． @lNDECORUM]

the same goes for most people.

❪ he chuckles softly. ❫

if it ends up helping and even saving them, it's worth losing a potential friend, if it comes to it.

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

That's true... I know it changes a lot for me when I no longer feel invisible.

(He traces circles into the condensation on the glass of his drink.)

Better than regretting it forever that I never did, you're right.

[‍ ‍ ོ ‍ 𝖨𝖹𝖠𝖭 ．．． @lNDECORUM]

it's always a risk. but if you think it's serious enough, tell somebody. you don't even have to go into specifics or tell them why ; just say you're worried about someone.

[‍ ‍ ོ ‍ 𝖨𝖹𝖠𝖭 ．．． @lNDECORUM]

you may not be friends but i'm sure they appreciate the concern. 'course, i can only speak from my own experience but … it's nice when someone acknowledges your struggle.

❪ pausing again, he's silent for a moment. a rare occurrence of thinking before speaking. ❫

+

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

I've spoken to them, yeah. But... dunno, we're not friends, so I don't think I'm getting anywhere. And there's another, but I don't know if I'm reaching them, either.

(He rubs the back of his neck.) Should I tell somebody? I'm worried they'll feel betrayed.

[‍ ‍ ོ ‍ 𝖨𝖹𝖠𝖭 ．．． @lNDECORUM]

yeah. you aren't the first, you won't be the last.

❪ again, he tilts his head. izzy thinks he has a vague idea of who kevin is talking about but since he isn't sure, he doesn't mention it. ❫

have you spoken to them .ᐣ or told someone else you're worried .ᐣ

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

You think so? (His voice drops to almost a whisper.)

But also like... I'm not the only one hanging by a thread around here. And that worries me, too. You know?

[‍ ‍ ོ ‍ 𝖨𝖹𝖠𝖭 ．．． @lNDECORUM]

mhm.

good. that you're getting better, i mean. it's not always easy to … drag yourself out of a situation like that. it takes balls.

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

Oh! Well, that's good then!

Uhm... I dunno. I'm kind of on a roller-coaster. I dipped down dangerously low, but I'm currently on the rise again.

[‍ ‍ ོ ‍ 𝖨𝖹𝖠𝖭 ．．． @lNDECORUM]

not really, no. my life's been pretty smooth sailing for the most part lately, if i'm honest.

you can talk, though. you got stuff on your mind, i can tell.

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

Hehe. Anything you wanna vent about while we're at it, my guy?

[‍ ‍ ོ ‍ 𝖨𝖹𝖠𝖭 ．．． @lNDECORUM]

oh .ᐣ well if you insist, i won't argue. ~

❪ izan is happy to just have company after such a botched date. kevin's just as good as anyone else. ~ ❫

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

Yeah!

First round is on me!

(Mostly he's just excited somebody's hanging out with him.)

[‍ ‍ ོ ‍ 𝖨𝖹𝖠𝖭 ．．． @lNDECORUM]

aren't we all, buddy.

c'mon then. let's get a round or two.

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

A drink sounds good!

I'm all in my complicated feelings.

[‍ ‍ ོ ‍ 𝖨𝖹𝖠𝖭 ．．． @lNDECORUM]

❪ head tilt. ❫

all the power to you, man.

drinks .ᐣ

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

Yeah...

(Soft sigh.)

[‍ ‍ ོ ‍ 𝖨𝖹𝖠𝖭 ．．． @lNDECORUM]

. . . jesus.

m'glad you got out of that baby free.

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

She wanted us to drop out and get married. Yeah...

[‍ ‍ ོ ‍ 𝖨𝖹𝖠𝖭 ．．． @lNDECORUM]

...... in high school .ᐣ what the hell.

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

Thank god no. But my girlfriend wanted one.

[‍ ‍ ོ ‍ 𝖨𝖹𝖠𝖭 ．．． @lNDECORUM]

you got a girl pregnant .ᐣ.ᐣ

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

That could have been me, and I'm glad it isn't-- 😮‍💨
