[cheerleader]

Then I guess now you know what your bandana will be used for.

[thefreak]

Oh I sure do. You know, you're full of really good ideas here.

[cheerleader]

I know it's surprising. But I'm more than just a pretty face!

[thefreak]

Oh, I never doubted it. Just didn't think you had *those* kinds of ideas is all

[cheerleader]

I used to not have them at all. Now it's basically all I can think about. And I think it's all your fault.

[thefreak]

Oh I am more than happy to take credit for them! Now I just wonder what other terrible ideas are in that twisted brain of yours.

[cheerleader]

Twisted? Me? Eddie, I don't know what you're talking about.

[yes, she does. she's just trying to avoid telling him that she's blushing right now at the thought of talking dirty more than she already has.]

[thefreak]

Uh huh, 'course you don't. Tell me, what kind of wicked things are you planning on doing with me while I'm blindfolded and tied up?

[cheerleader]

If I tell you, it'd ruin the surprise. I'm pretty sure you can trust me when I say that you won't be disappointed.

[thefreak]

Okay, okay, I'll try to be patient then. I do trust you.

[cheerleader]

You can be patient?

Maybe you should tell me what you want me to do. And then I can decide what kind of hint to give you.

[thefreak]

Ha ha ha aren't you hilarious.

Weeeelll so long as it involves no clothes I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

If you also happen to have some ice cubes handy, I wouldn't say no to that either.

[cheerleader]

Hmm

would you like some hot wax to go with those ice cubes? Or is that pushing it a little too far?

[thefreak]

Oh. Oh yes. Please, if hot wax is on the table I am so down for this.

[cheerleader]

I definitely think hot wax can be arranged.

[thefreak]

Well isn't it just my lucky day then?

[cheerleader]

Isn't it always your lucky day when you're with me? I really think you said that once, when you were trying to flatter me!

[thefreak]

It is, you're just my lucky charm. And shhh, that wasn't flattery, that was the truth.

[cheerleader]

That's too bad, because flattery also works on me too.

[but she's smiling and ducking her head to hide it like he can actually see it wherever he is right now]

Can I tell you something though?

[thefreak]

Oh really?

[ it's okay because he's definitely biting back a grin himself ]

You can tell me anything.

[cheerleader]

I like the idea of being someone's lucky charm. Your lucky charm actually. Everyone else makes me feel like I'm not perfect enough, that I can't do anything right. But you make me feel like I'm actually worth something.

So I guess what I wanted to say is thank you. For doing that.

[It's a slightly big statement and a little heavy. But it's on her mind when he's telling her the truth about being his lucky charm.]

[thefreak]

[ It takes Eddie by surprise, reading all of that. He's never really had anyone take him this seriously before, or had anything last long enough for it to get this serious. ]

You are perfect. If anyone tells you otherwise, they are full of shit.

You make me feel like I don't have to be perfect, that I can be my weirdo self, that I can let my freak flag fly, and I've never had anything quite like this before? But I know I really like you, and I really like this, what we have. And I really...I don't want to lose this.

[ Because naturally he fears putting this into words, what he feels, it's going to be the kiss of death, that he's going to lose everything that has made him feel like he belongs somewhere, with someone. ]

[cheerleader]

[Chrissy reads that a few times before doing something stupid and girly and hugging the phone to her chest, like she's hugging him. He almost gets a gibberish keysmash sent back to him, but she thankfully catches it before that happens.]

We don't have to lose this. I mean, we can find a way to keep it. How hard can it be?

[thefreak]

[ Eddie almost can't believe what he's reading. This is nuts -- yet it feels as natural as breathing somehow. ]

I don't know, I can think of a lot of people who wouldn't want to see us together.

Of course, to that I also say, fuck them.

[cheerleader]

You know what? I can't believe I'm about to say this but

[give her a second. she's a sweet girl this is a lot for her to type]

Fuck them. Seriously! Who gets to decide whether or not we can be together? Just us. Screw anyone else that tries having an opinion.
