This is what your frame of reference is when you call me awkward? I'm insulted.

[Not really, but.]

Naw, you're more like the guy who's tall, dark and brooding. Who I did not date, before you get that image, he's old enough to be my dad.

He doesn't know how to talk to people, so mostly he just doesn't. He'll pull the most ridiculous crap to make things happen when he could have just used his words.

He has an on-again-off-again girlfriend, sort of, and she's a total babe. Pretty nice, too, as long as you don't get on her bad side. She even has a sense of humor. I have no idea what she sees in him, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to know.

[ Is she this chatty because of the meme, or just because she likes to talk shit about Bruce? The world may never know. ]

I have a sense of humor. Or. Had.

And I don't brood.

You sure sound like you brood. You've got that tone. That brooding, humorless tone. The kind of person that will take a hilarious joke and just stare at you with those judgey eyes.

You just haven't told any good jokes yet.

Oh, ouch!

I haven't told any jokes to you, you know!

Gonna take a wild guess now: if you did, they'd be bad.

Now you're just being mean. I make people laugh all the time. And half the time they're laughing *with* me, not *at* me

I like my own jokes.

Doesn't everyone?

A humorless person wouldn't.

A humorless person wouldn't make jokes at all

My point exactly.

I didn't say you're exactly the same as Batman, just that you sound like him.

If you're thinking of me as some weird replacement figure--

Not even a little. And it's not like we're close. He's more like... My friends' helicopter dad?

He'd be a real asset here, but I really don't need a stand-in.

Good.

Don't worry, you get to be my friend for your own special self.

I told the other guy, I'm too tired for more friends.

And I told you, it's not something you have a choice in. You have been claimed. You are my friend.

I'm not joking.

Neither am I.

You don't have to freak out about it. It just means I care what happens to you. It's not like you have to do anything.

You think that's what it's about?

No. But I do think that you can't stop people from caring about you. And maybe you don't want to know about it, but I think it's important for people to know that someone cares.

Remember that I can't lie right now when I say that I would rather nobody cared for me ever again. It's not a psychological need for me, and it's better this way.
