Muppet

Date/Timing: 4 January 2007
Setting: Edan's bedroom; Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom
.
""You're not awake /yet?""
Edan, face-down in his pillow, blankets up to his nape, and still in his pajamas, grumbles, "Sod off."
The mattress dips under Trinity's weight and there's a sharp poke to the back of his head.
""Yea, not a chance, Beaker.""
"I've asked you at least a /billion times not to call me that."
""But you're my little ginger muppet, yea?"" Trinity twists, drapes herself across his back.
"How much weight've you gained?" Edan wheezes.
""Only a couple of kilos, mostly in my hips. /Finally have some /and I'm up to a C-cup.""
"Congratulations."
""Heaven bless prescription hormones.""
"Yea, yea, but could you get off 'fore you crush me?"
""But I'm almost comfy with your bony butt under so many layers.""
"Triniiiiiiii ...."
She sighs, pushes back upright. ""Now, you need to drag your ass out of bed and get about your day.""
Edan snorts.
""This isn't like you. You're usually a most annoying ray of sunshine mornings.""
"Not feeling very sunny lately."
""Did you go out drinking again last night?""
"God no. I'm still a mite wobbly from New Year's."
Trinity giggles. ""You are the single lightest lightweight I've ever clapped eyes on. What'd you have at that party? Two whole pints?""
"Fuck you I'm not /that weak."
""Whatever you say."" Trinity pats his head. ""The rest of your gene pool can drink like bloody fish. What the hell happened with you?""
"Why're you even here?" he sighs.
""I stopped by to give Fennie a lift to her check-in, then out for a spot of shopping. I heard you were yet to put in an appearance and volunteered to come up here and roust you.""
"Gee, thanks."
""So ... this isn't just a hangover.""
Edan grunts.
""What is it?""
He sighs, "I miss Hermann." Drags his head around. "The fucking letters aren't enough. I want to /touch him, ye know?"
Trinity hums. "It's gotta be tough."
Edan digs himself out, sits up. "It fucking /sucks is what it does."
"You sure you don't want to find someone—"
"/No. You—" Runs a hand through his hair. "You need to meet him. He's absolutely amazing."
"He /must be to have you in this state."
Edan sighs, slumps further.
Trinity bumps his shoulder. "I don't think I've seen you this mopey since Davey Morrison threw Indiana into the drain."
"I loved that stuffie," mumbles Edan.
"I know. The tears you shed ...."
"I was bloody six."
"'course you were, but you're telling me you haven't shed a drop or two over your Hermann?"
"Well, no, I—but—" Huffs.
Trinity nudges him.
Edan sighs. "I think I've /finally found the one for me and I can't even fucking hold his hand because his assbeast dad—" Makes a frustrated noise.
"You thought I was the one for a while, too, if you remember."
His face flames and he ducks his head. "Trinity, I've loved you for/ever, but it'd never've worked out."
"Nope. We're much better as friends."
Edan rubs the back of his neck. "I wasn't /that bad a date, was I?"
"You were a /perfect boyfriend and there're even days I wish I could tempt you into being bi to have you back."
"I hope I get a chance to prove it to Hermann."
"You will, but you have to get out and face the day first, Beaker."
"Stop calling me that!"
"I will when you stop acting the muppet."
Edan growls, whacks Trinity in the middle with a pillow.
Trinity laughs, yanks it from his hands, and wallops him over the head.
"Uncle!"
/whack whack whack
"Nuh uh!"
/whack whack
"Auntie!"
Trinity relents. "That's better."
"You're evil."
"And I'm your best friend. What does that say about you?"
"That I'm /completely mad."
