[ioudas]

I stayed.

(That's all he has to stay. Someone as flighty as him staying in one place for so long? It was because he had a home there, someone waiting for him when he came back from a long day of flirting and drinking.)

After it all, I stayed.

[oedipusrat]

We could always go traveling. [It sounds so defeatist. Travel. As if that was ever the problem. And he knows it, the way he doesn't look at Cross, eyes more focused on the floor, fingers tightening on the couch fabric.]

Neither of us were ever really cut out for long-lasting relationships, were we?

[ioudas]

You never wanted to go.

(M, James, everything that Cross thought that Silva needed was in the city. He had his obsessions, and he knew that his heart wouldn't be in it.)

We could have been.

[oedipusrat]

I've done plenty of it in my life. We could go. Right now. Saudi Arabia, you'd like it there. Argentina. Summer in Saint Petersburg, winter in Nassau.

Like a second honeymoon.

[ioudas]

I've done Arabia. (he sounds bored, like he's heard this before and has absolutely no faith that Silva will actually go through with it.)

And if we fight on the way over?

[oedipusrat]

Then we fight. Fighting is just something we do. We made it work for a while. Why can't we make this work now?

[ioudas]

(he looks at him, trying to find some sort of tell that Silva's telling the truth.)

You were lucky that I was here.

[oedipusrat]

Instead of Nepal? [He'll at least glance over, make eye contact.] I've come after you before. It might have been nice if you had come after me for once. [It's not said with malice. Just tired and matter of fact.]

[ioudas]

(Is that what he wanted? Cross relaxes, shoulders back instead of aggressively forward.)

All you had to do was ask.

[oedipusrat]

I didn't realize I had to ask at all. Like a game. I came to see if you were even still interested or if you were just looking for an excuse to have me gone.

[ioudas]

I'm good at getting in your pants, not staying there. (it's so true. she's walking out now, and cross waits till she closes the door before grabbing Silva.)

Next time, call?

[oedipusrat]

[Oh, that's an encouraging sign.] So you can ignore my calls or hang up on me? Mm, no, I think it's much more fun to kick out your girlfriends in the middle of breakfast, darling.

[ioudas]

(why doesn't he just come a little closer. or even just sit between his legs.)

Don't make it a habit.

[oedipusrat]

[Maybe Cross has to work for it first~] I may be many things, but a creature of habit has never been one of them.

[ioudas]

(he has to work for nothing.) Before you come home, you should buy a new bed. And a new counter.

And a rug.

Or three.

[oedipusrat]

Nonsense; just wash the sheets. And dryclean all of my clothes I left. [Fine, maybe he'll get a kiss. A little one. A peck. And a teasing grin.] I could dig out those heels and pretend to be one of your little fuckbuddies, even, if that's what you're in the mood for.
