Eddy settled back into his seat, resigned to being... well, resigned. He was too tired to bluster, too weary to rehash all the reasons why he shouldn't and couldn't. All of them were just excuses anyhow, a list to hide behind in his self-imposed isolation. Everyone needed someone, as mimaw used to say, and Eddy could never argue with mimaw.<br/><br/>Still, he couldn't help but scoff again as Gabriel gave him more advice. Do normal things as normal people do. Rich coming from Gabriel, whose never done a single normal thing in his entire life.<br/><br/>"Mmm, is that what you do when you happen to see Paul? Walk up and say hello?" He asked, unable to keep from teasing.<br/><br/>What would it look like if those two dated? It was hard imagining Paul taking Gabriel to something as mundane as the movies or a cafe. Sort of hilarious in retrospect. The joke wrote itself at that point.<br/><br/>Paul and Gabriel at an arcade. Paul and Gabriel at the beach. Paul and Gabriel bowling. Paul and Gabriel at the aquarium. Paul and Gabriel rollerblading. Paul and Gabriel at the farmers market browsing for organic locally sourced honey.<br/><br/>The images were bizarre, especially since Eddy couldnt imagine Paul wearing anything other than his bespoke suits while Gabriel was on a leash. (Eddy knew what they got up to, he wish he didnt, but he knew.)
