I know you're not incompetent. That's actually the last thing I thought about you, even if you may think I'm just being an ass. I just figure I have a little more experience in the matter that you could benefit from is all.

[He folds his arms and raises his eyebrows slightly.]

Y'know you can talk to me. I mean, it makes sense, doesn't it? I'm you. Who better to discuss this kinda shit with than yourself?

[Besides, he's also just really damn curious. Or maybe nosy is the correct word. And he kinda just wants to get to know his little self better.]

[shippingmath]

[Dirk just folds his arms the same way. Well, Bro's going to find out a bit more about him now, just not what he wanted to, really.]

Speaking from experience, an alternate version of myself is exactly who I don't want to go to in this situation. I've had an AI version of myself all up in my business ever since I made him, I don't need you interfering.

[plushaeusrumpified]

Because clearly I'm the same as an AI, that's some real damn good logic right there.

[He won't admit it, but he's. Disappointed by this outcome. He'd really hoped he could get along with himself, but clearly he's going to be a stubborn little bastard.]

If you don't want my help though, then fine.

[shippingmath]

The AI part isn't the most important. The 'version of me' bit is. What would you even do that would be so helpful?

[He's not stubborn so much as he is defensive, mostly at the implication that he needs help, even coming from an older version of himself. He'll improve himself, like he's always done, even if he needs to build the tools for it on his own.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Bro just gives him a shrug.]

Well I dunno what I'd do that's helpful, considering I don't know the circumstances. I can't just pull help out of my ass without knowing shit. But considering you don't wanna talk to me, I can't help then, can I?

[shippingmath]

A very astute observation you've made there.

[And now, if Bro doesn't stop him, Dirk is going to do his best to escape away from his older double.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Of course Bro is going to stop him. He can't just let it go now that it's obvious Dirk doesn't want anything to do with him. So he moves in front of Dirk, blocking his way.]

What the fuck is your problem?

[shippingmath]

I don't need you meddling in things for your own reasons.

[He's defensive. Not that he's about to admit that.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

Who says I have my own reasons? Do I need any other reason to help aside from wanting to see you succeed? 'sides, we don't even gotta talk about this shit. It's more like I'm just wondering what the fuck your problem is because you don't seem to wanna stay in the same goddamn room as me for longer than you have to.

[shippingmath]

Perhaps it would be because you both witnessed and commented on something I wasn't particularly wanting to show off.

[plushaeusrumpified]

You didn't get a room, it wasn't exactly a private affair.

[shippingmath]

I didn't shout 'hey, me and Jake are snogging, come look,' either. If you're as much like me as you figure, I thought you would understand that.

[plushaeusrumpified]

Why d'you care so much who sees and who doesn't, anyway? I don't get why it's such a big deal.

[He honestly doesn't care who the hell sees him kissing. He can't really understand why Dirk is making such a big deal over it.]

If you want me to apologize for it, then I'm sorry but I'm not going to. The fact of the matter is I saw it and I can't change that. You really gonna hold it against me?

[shippingmath]

Because it's a complicated situation.

[Because everybody likes Jake.]

I'm not asking you to get out the brain bleach and wipe your memory, I'm just requesting that maybe, if it's not too much for you, [He's being snippy and that's probably not going to help his case, but he's not about to stop] you could avoid doing anything about it.

[plushaeusrumpified]

Fine! [He sounds snippy, too.] I was just trying to god damn help, but if you don't want it, then fine. Good luck solvin' it yourself. Excuse the hell outta me for trying to be helpful.

[shippingmath]

Thank you. I'm glad we could have this conversation. [If looks could kill, Dirk would be giving it a very strong try right now. Once again, he's trying to leave.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

Yeah, same here.

[He's not stopping him this time. It's clear the conversation took a turn and isn't salvageable right now.]

Just remember, kid, I'm not your fuckin' enemy.

[shippingmath]

Sure.

[And now that this conversation is over, he's leaving.]
