I think you could be.
You're already one of the coolest people I know.

Yeah. You're right.
He deserves something that lets him know that.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

you think i'm cool? really?

what are you thinking? do you have an idea yet?

<oliver>

[catphishing]

Of course I do.

Not for gifts, but I'll come up with something.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

i can honestly say i don't think anyone's ever said that about me before.

do you have any other plans for his birthday?

<oliver>

[catphishing]

You know I'm not the only person here who thinks that.

We're spending the day after together.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

soeki doesn't count because we're like, a lot alike.

yeah?

<oliver>

[catphishing]

So? He still counts.

Yeah. We're not going anywhere. Just spending some time together.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

he's biased. both of you are super biased.

right. okay. have fun and i do not need to know the details.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

Why? Because we're friends with you?

We're having cake and beer and pretending we don't feel old.
But we will. Thanks.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

yeah, exactly. you guys took the time to get to know me and shit. it's different. some people are just cool. i'm not one of those people.

omg, really? boring plans like that definitely show how old you are.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

We got to know you because we liked you.
We thought you were cool.

:( They're not boring.
We're going to have a lot of fun.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

if you say so.

they sure sound boring to me, but i'm glad you guys are gonna have fun. that's what matters.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

We did.
I wouldn't say that to you if I didn't mean it.

Trust me. Just being around someone you care about is really nice.
When you find someone you want to date you'll understand.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

okay, maybe i can buy that you guys think i'm cool, but the chances of me finding someone willing to date me? they're like zero. that's never gonna happen.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

I used to think that when I was your age.
I was wrong.
I know it's hard to believe, but you are too.
You're going to meet lots of people who like you.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

i'm not wrong. i'm seventeen and i've never even been on a real date. i'm completely hopeless.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

I was 19.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

you don't have to lie just to make me feel better.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

I can't lie.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

what? is that a weird faerie thing?

<oliver>

[catphishing]

Yeah.
The point is you aren't hopeless.
You'll get there.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

okay, but i bet you never like, stalked one of your teachers because you liked him.

at my regular school, ftr, not the murder one. i'm not that messed up.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

I didn't.
I can't imagine you doing that either.

<jaded>

[fourthsaken]

it happened. and i didn't even realize how stupid i was being.

<oliver>

[catphishing]

You're young. You made a mistake.
You wouldn't do that now, right?
