[He's the king of tact, it is him]

That's a little much. So what're you doing?

[selfhatred]

Just reading. [He holds up his book.] I wanted to finish this one before I started on any others this summer.

[fuckmackandme]

Oh. More romance novels?

[selfhatred]

Yeah. I got it from Hogsmeade last time and never got around to reading it until now.

[fuckmackandme]

Oh.

[And he sits back. Because really, romance novels aren't his thing. At all.

... But there's a question he's been meaning to ask for a while.]

Doesn't it get boring when there's nothing but romance to worry about?

[selfhatred]

[He looks down at the book in his lap before glancing away.]

It's better than the things I could be worrying about.

[fuckmackandme]

[... Oh. Shiiiit. He could have said that better.]

I meant in the books...

[selfhatred]

[...Crap, he misinterpreted. He glances back at John at that, raising a hand to rub the back of his neck. Then again he was just told his ex girlfriend might be engaging in sloppy makeouts with the person he disliked the most so who could blame him really?]

There's not just romance in the books. I just finished reading a car chase scene before you came in.

[fuckmackandme]

Really?

[Hey, maybe they were more interesting than he thought. He should investigate this further.]

Why, what happened?

[selfhatred]

[The sudden interest is kind of nice since he always gets mocked for reading them.]

The main female character is the daughter of a New York mobster and she just got kidnapped by a rival mob. Her love interest who her father disapproves of is a completely normal kid who just chased after the van on his motorbike with her dad shooting from the side car.

[fuckmackandme]

That... Actually sounds kinda awesome.

[selfhatred]

It's more of an action adventure than a romance, since that element's more secondary than main. What it was doing in a wizard bookstore I have no idea. Someone must've traded it in.

[fuckmackandme]

Weird. How far into it are you?

[Guess who's trying to read over your shoulder now, totally invading your personal space.]

[selfhatred]

I'm about a third done. I started it before exams but I didn't get too far into it.

[He's just going to give you a look, John.]

You can borrow it after I'm done if you want.

[fuckmackandme]

Sure!

[selfhatred]

We still up for movies over the summer?

[fuckmackandme]

Of course we are!

[selfhatred]

Just reminding you then. Didn't want you to cancel on me or anything.

[fuckmackandme]

Karkat. I never cancel on movies. Ever.

[selfhatred]

[He'll just push aside the doubt that's going to linger there.]

Only checking.
