retropolis: (time to be overdramatic)

It's all right, most of them are swimming. Or fishing... I don't know. I've got some time.

[ He's speaking kind of lowly anyway, just in case someone comes by or someone else wants to use the phone, but at the moment there's no competition. ]

Please don't apologize, Gilbert. It's not your fault.
retropolis: (this is awkward)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-06-09 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
About... [ He just wants to be clear. ] ... what?
retropolis: ([mariachi band playing sound of silence])

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-06-09 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
R-- right. Of course.

[ Nelson exhales, his voice going quieter just out of habit. He clears his throat. ]

I'm just not sure where to start.
retropolis: (#screams internally)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-06-09 09:38 am (UTC)(link)
We... we... [ He makes a sort of pained hrmmmm sound. ] Well, it's like I said, he wasn't doing anything that I really minded. Sometimes when two people enjoy each other's company, they...

... Er.

Do you understand?
retropolis: (ℳ | stop upstaging me)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-06-09 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
He wasn't going to hurt me seriously. W-we've done it before, there's a whole routine to it.
retropolis: (ℳ | clone high hands)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-06-09 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well-- I--

[ Nelson hesitates, unsure of how best to go about this. Finally he says, very quietly: ]

I love him.
retropolis: (ℳ | stop upstaging me)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-06-09 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ Nelson's quiet on his end, growing increasingly anxious through Gil's silence. ]

... Are you still there?
retropolis: (this is awkward)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-06-09 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... y-yes. I understand it must be shocking to hear.
retropolis: (ℳ | whoops our bad)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-06-09 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
N-- [ It's automatic; he has to stop himself. He sounds crestfallen. ] Yes.
retropolis: (why is laurie rude)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-06-09 11:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Nelson's relieved that Gil is at least not taking the news as badly as he'd originally feared. Not that it makes this whole conversation easier, but it's a comfort that it could still be going worse.

Still -- the worst is yet to come.

We were getting intimate. Wh-when you walked in.
