Anything is better than this.

[bredinthebone]

Suit yourself. Though I'm sure there's still better things you could be doing.

[highlyemotional]

Such as? [ wait... ] Is that chocolate?

[bredinthebone]

Yep.

[And Malina will ever so kindly hold out the box.]

Want some?

[highlyemotional]

Please. You know it's going to go on sale tomorrow, right?

[bredinthebone]

[There's a beat as she stretches out the box before:]

Oh, I didn't buy this for me. I'm not an idiot.

[highlyemotional]

[ that makes caroline feel even less bad about taking like five... ] Some people are, you never know.

[bredinthebone]

[She shakes her head.]

This is from Gus. Expensive pre-Valentine's Day chocolate is a requirement for our friendship.

[highlyemotional]

Ah, your gay husband. [ as if that explains so much. ]

[bredinthebone]

[She doesn't even bother to try and correct her.]

I can't remember how many years left we have before we make that official.

[highlyemotional]

Is common-law marriage a thing around here or just in nineties movies about New York?

[bredinthebone]

I have no idea. But his mother won't accept that, and this is a much easier way to make sure all the legal stuff is tied up.

[highlyemotional]

Wait, you're seriously going to marry your gay best friend?

[bredinthebone]

[She shrugs.]

Maybe. Once we've exhausted all other possibilities.

[highlyemotional]

Malina, no! You should at least marry someone you can have sex with!

[bredinthebone]

[Her brow furrows.]

Who said anything about me not having sex? It isn't going to be that kind of marriage, sweetie.

[highlyemotional]

But what about romance!

[bredinthebone]

Any time I have tried to find romance, the guy turned into a douchebag. Honestly, my gay best fried has been more romantic towards me than all of them combined.

[highlyemotional]

That's weird, you know that right?

[bredinthebone]

Yes, but it's a kind of weird I can live with. At least for right now.

[highlyemotional]

[ her nose wrinkles. BUT ROMANCE THO. ] ...if you insist.

[bredinthebone]

[She gives her a small smile.]

You are free to pursue any romance you wish.

[highlyemotional]

Obviously. [ she snags another chocolate. ] I'm gonna get back to cleaning. See ya.

[ weirdo. ]

[bredinthebone]

[And Malina will wave it off before disappearing to go back to her Valentine's Day plans. /scene]
