I'm a lot of things. That doesn't mean I have to have control over everything around me.

[Beautiful, huh? David smiles and lays down to consider his love.]

Yeah, we take turns at super crabby. ANd that's okay.

[kyley_b]

David, honey, I love you SO much but you're a bit of a control freak. You must know that.

Yeah. I'm worse than you, though. [Idly, he traces a libe up David's arm with one finger.]

This year will be better.

[helpdesk_hero]

[Okay, he is, and it makes him laugh. Don't call him out so much.]

Oh? I hope it will. I want to see it work out, a lot. Happiness for us.

[kyley_b]

I think so. I feel better having decided to just like. Reevaluate life.

[helpdesk_hero]

Reevaluate huh? I wish you luck with that.

{because David is refusing to interfere with that.]

[kyley_b]

[Snort.]

Thanks? It'll affect you too.

[helpdesk_hero]

I know it will, but me? I'm adaptable. I can go to any place and still get home and to work. Which means you need a bit more flexibility from me.

[kyley_b]

Yes and no. I mean, we moved here specifically for the time zone difference. It matters. YOU matter.

[helpdesk_hero]

I know that, but...

[How did he say that he wasn't sure how the team would hold together without Lorna? Jean-Paul seemed so much to depend on her when things started. Would he want to keep going?]

[kyley_b]

But what?

[He looks at David, all warm concern.]

[helpdesk_hero]

I don't know if Jean-Paul will want to keep going without Lorna.

[kyley_b]

Oh.

Well, I don't really see why not. But if he didn't, couldn't you?

[helpdesk_hero]

Me, lead someone?

[What? No, that doesn't make sense.]

[kyley_b]

Yeah! You have more than enough knowledge for it!

[helpdesk_hero]

That... uh, never went well for me before.

[kyley_b]

How many times have you tried?

[helpdesk_hero]

[David sighs and shakes his head.]

It's only the one time, but it's never that easy, Kyle.

[kyley_b]

So you're one of the smartest men alive, with a mutant power that gives you an insane skilkset, but because it didn't work out once it's off the table?

If you don't WANT to, that's fine, David. But don't like... say you can't.

[helpdesk_hero]

[No, it's not that, okay so it is a bit, but it's more than that.]

I'm also younger and that loses respect. I also don't know that I like it.

[kyley_b]

You'd get respect.

And that's fine! I'm not saying you should do this, just that you could. You're capable.

[helpdesk_hero]

I guess.

[He sighs and shakes his head.]

I don't know yet. I don't know what is going on.

[kyley_b]

No, no guessing. You ARE. You're amazing.

[He moves so he can kiss David's cheek.]

It's okay. I know it's hard, the not knowing.

[helpdesk_hero]

[It's terrible. Which was why David was so tired now. The not knowing. The not knowing how to know.]

I just want it to be easier. For us both.

[kyley_b]

Well. I'm doing what I can to make things better for me, and so hopefully for you. But I can do more, David. You just gotta let me know what you really want in life.

[helpdesk_hero]

I want to keep doing what I am. I want to keep helping people, and finding answers and closure for them.
