He suddenly bursts into laughter, but it’s, like, when you snort through your tongue and teeth because you are trying real hard NOT to laugh so obviously.
But then it rolls into a full, gentle cackle, and he covers his mouth with his fist.]
[ he looks so offended still, crossing his arms and letting jason laugh ]
Shut up. [ more wry than flustered, because. y'know. he knew this would happen when he said it. he is not stupid ] The hell do you think it says about you, huh?

I know. She does always make sure to tell us not to leave her alone.
[This is joking, but it’s clear he has a sliver of seriousness to it. Like… he understands maybe a tiny, tiny portion of why Lup may be this way.
Also, yeah, they are going to end up cuddling again because Lup is here.]
no subject
[ it's a fake gripe. but also, a real question. lup, your taste. they are completely owned and will just. go with it but STILL ]
no subject
[The length of time is more for Cloud is what point he is trying to make here.]
I guess we’re just her type. Not sure what that says about the two of us actually.
no subject
[ you cannot blame him for that, because jason doesn't icly know they sort of dated in redacted. but he pauses, because. actually: ]
She called me an "awkward nerd" and said she liked those.
[ HE SOUNDS SO OFFENDED ]

--Wait. Does she think I'm a nerd?
[HOLD ON A MINUTE HERE]

Oh, come on, I'm not a nerd! [He is a nerd. He also reads.] Tim is the nerd. I'm...
[Struggling to find something to describe himself with that's a dunk but also not a lie but also not terrible.]
...The meat.
[The muscle. But phrasing.]
no subject
You think she likes you because you're "the meat"? [ he's clearly. amused here. ] You sure you're not awkward?
no subject
[This is said in the exact same wry way Cloud delivered his a few minutes ago.]
She probably likes me because she can get me to carry her wherever she wants to go like a horse and buggy.
[It's funny that they can have a little trauma moment and then immediately go right back to complaining about Lup.]
no subject
Most people can do that. She weighs about as much as a paperweight.
no subject
Who's side are you on here? Jeez. You want me to be an awkward nerd with you so bad. She said that was her type. She hasn't tried to kiss you yet?
[He's teasing so they don't have to think about their depression.]
no subject
What, you're still obsessed with people kissing me? Get a hobby.
no subject
Please. You dodging because she has? Not a fan of kissing? It wouldn't really hurt anything, I don't think.
[He's bullying. This is what Cloud gets for him not knowing anything about his relationship with the other Lup.]
no subject
Would you stop already?
[ but moving away was a mistake because oh no the floor is star dust because i think it's funny to give jason the context now after the bullying ]
no subject
and then a really sly, lopsided grin comes to his face. This is why he was a fox furry week.]
Holy shit.
no subject
[ IMMEDIATELY TRYING TO LEAVE BYE ]
no subject
HE THINKS THIS IS SOOOO FUNNY, but also he gets it might be uncomfortable. Can't keep the humor out of his voice, though.]
Clou--! Hey! Cloud, where are you going? Cloud!
[He doesn't try to chase him or anything, but he does call out to him!! CLOUD, HIS HOMIE, DON'T RUN.]
no subject
he just waves off jason and absconds because we have a new thread so it's fine ]
