You're really not inspiring much confidence, here.
[ but hey, whatever. he just doesn't want to see tate that upset again. things only got as bad as they did because derek overstepped and walked into that apartment like he owned it, but he doesn't want reggie to be that upset again, either, and it feels like this is a solution for both of those problems that he can reach without thinking too hard about how he screwed up too. whoops. perfect. ]
Yeah, deal. We can both back out if either of us disappoints the other. Pretend I'm shaking on it over text.
You sure you're okay? I really did just message you to check in.
Check out this big tough man over here. Bragging about all the schoolyard scraps he's been in. "I've been in tons of fights, Dewek! I once knocked out a toof!" That's you.
isnt it obvious hes an insecure & jealous loser who thinks if he can embarrass me or make me look like some kind of joke in front of u then u'll like him more problem is i dont get embarrassed so no wonder that plan backfired
I really don't think you're a threat to him. He doesn't even know we've been hanging out. Pretty sure he thinks our relationship begins and ends with me threatening you after the concert.
[ which feels weird and dirty now that he's writing it out, and he's not really sure what to do with that feeling. other than suppress it? bury it deep. ]
Maybe you're projecting. Maybe you want to make me think he's a freak so I'll like you more than him. Pretty bold move.
well u say that now but i was there, dude he completely changed his tune from before u walked in vs after for like no reason but hey maybe ur right we'll never rly know will we
What was he like before I was there? I know we've been over this, but it really did look like he was propositioning you. Are you completely sure he was just screwing with you?
so let me get this straight u think he would turn down me offering him a free no strings attached bj cuz hes "not like that" NEVER let it go then turn around & try to bang me anyway cuz suddenly hes changed his mind is that what u thinks going on
[ he'd mostly just been thinking out loud and trying to figure this out, but now that reggie's summarized his thoughts in black and white, derek quick realizes both how much he would fuuuuuuucking hate that and how much he would fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking hate reggie to go into any conversation with tate from that perspective. damage control damage control ]
No. I don't. That's not what I said. I didn't say that. He doesn't like you. You're not even that hot. His last girlfriend was a cannibal. You're not his type.
[ He has more he could argue, such as how dare you call him "not that hot" or imply that he isn't everybody's type (it's just that everybody isn't his), but-- no. Here he is, focusing on the important things. ]
wow like im rly worried about what some shrimp w/ a switchblade is capable of
[ Reggie doesn't (didn't?) have any specific plans to confront Tate on this in particular, because if it's true then giving someone like Tate more fuel to obsess over seems like a terrible idea. However... Derek's reaction makes Reggie want to consider reconsidering. Or at least not make his current intentions too obvious yet. ]

I think if you ever implied you thought he wanted you he'd cut off your balls. For real. With a knife. So.
