[ Rolls his eyes again but takes the cigarette from John so he can take a drag. Oof, that feels good. ]
Yeah, tell me about it. [ Smoke wafts from his lips as he talks. ] I mean it's not all that bad. Sucking dick, I mean. [ Not the worst thing this place had him do. Then again, he's already exploring his sexuality anyway, so. ]
Guess you had to let all that pent up desire out with not being able to bang your girl.
[ rogue, he means. and that's when he slowly looks over to bobby there. takes the cigarette back because, it's his, and takes another long drag from it. ]
[ Pauses, watches John take a long drag, then it kind of clicks. ]
Wait, you banged her? [ To be fair, he shouldn't be surprised. If she was really here before, chances are pretty high they did. Look at him banging younger Magneto, for instance. ]
[ If this was Bobby upon arrival or even Bobby back home while he's still actively dating her, he would've been pissed. But as it is, he just snorts back a laugh. ]
Well, good for you guys, I guess. Hope it wasn't because the city drugged any of you?
[ Rogue will always have a special place in his heart. He loved her, continue to do so as a friend, but after spending over a week in this place having sex with whoever, sex doesn't seem to hold the same weight anymore. ]
Who cares. Just another day that ends in y around here.
[ taking another drag for himself, he once again holds it out for bobby to take, turning his attention to the fiery kitten there and, closing his fingers into a pinch, snuffs the little thing out. ]
[ Bobby takes the cigarette again and does another drag, this time longer. So good. He watches John snuff out the little fire kitty before returning the cig. ]
Congrats for accomplishing something I didn't.
[ If Bobby was crass, he would've asked him how it was but, not his style, bro. ]
Uh, I'm not aware we're in a competition like that. [ Then again, everything about their relationship seems like a competition for John so is he even surprised? ]
[ It was theoretical, but okay. If he's not a little high now, he'll be dragging his hands on his face. ]
Okay, sure. [ He reaches out for the cigarette again. He needs to get more high for this. ] Whatever. You're the better fuck. I'm just here to survive.
[ Bobby himself doesn't even think of his performance in sex or if he was good or anything. ]
[ shifting some, he lays down on the couch then, head propped against the armrest, finishing off the rest of the cigarette as he stares up to the ceiling. ]
I'm secretly insecure and always waiting for people to leave me.
[ Maybe it's his head swimming, but did he hear that right? Frowning, Bobby glances at John as he lays down on the couch, his back still comfortably leaning against the leather. ]
John? [ Pauses, still surprised he'd admit this. ] Hey. [ Places a gentle hand on the other's leg. ]

Not here to be judged by you when we're literally in sex island and you wanted me to adjust.

[ to which he holds the cigarette out for bobby to take, smoke trailing from his lips as he does. ]
You think I really give a shit that you wanna gobble dick all of a sudden? I mean, yeah. I laughed about it at first. But shit always happens here.

[ this was... four years ago. a lot has changed for him since then. a lot of people have come and gone, too. ]
And yeah, she liked it.
[ because of course he's gonna throw that in there. ]

I've accomplished a lot you haven't. Take you forever to get anywhere even close.
no subject
Bet you have, yeah. [ And he means that genuinely, having no desire to compete with John. ] Care to share some?
no subject
[ he says that rather pointedly, glancing over to him. ]

[ it’s said rather nonchalantly, mind you. john tends to have a way of just saying shit to rile others up after all. ]
no subject
Our powers don't define our relationships, John. If I can produce flames, you'd be my best friend?
[ They were, once. ]

[ how dare you even think that, bobby drake. ]

Can I make a suggestion?
[ he doesn't wait to continue. ]
You gotta lighten up more. If it's easy for me to get to you, you're not gonna do well here.
no subject
So, is this you testing me so I can do well here?
no subject
[ sort of. deep down, john's a sensitive little shit. ]
no subject
Sure, whatever you say. This coming from the guy who always sees me as competition.
no subject
[ gosh, bobby. ]
no subject
[ For the right reasons, yes. ]
Who else do you see as competition, then?
