[ Tim <•> Zach ]

T: so you deleted the message?

Z: what was I supposed to do?

T: you were supposed to not do a lot of things; the first one is deleting the message and the second one is telling me, of all people, about it.

Z: what's that supposed to mean?

T: oh come on...

T: have you forgotten the reputation I have of being a nosy nuisance who loves too much drama for his own good?

Z: no. One can't simply forget that since it's such a dominant part of your personality.

T: exactly. And you told me a secret of this caliber knowing full well that I can't keep my mouth shut.

Z: but if I hadn't told you, you would have found out either way.

Z: since you are a medal worthy nosy nuisance.

T: ...

T: fair enough.

***

T: so let's get everything straight, you confided in me and want me to help you out without snitching up on you.

Z: exactly.

T: sadly, that would require payment.

Z: how much?

T: ...

T: you are actually agreeing to that?

Z: ...

Z: yes?

T: like that's a first. Connor never agreed to pay me even a dollar for all the shit he has put me through. Compared to the mess he cooks up, your situation is like a cup of tea.

Z: and you're still not going to do it for free.

T: ah, is that guilt-tripping I detect?

Z: forget it.

Z: what's the payment?

T: I'm a simple man who loves coffee. Coffee's the payment.

Z: but I wanted to ask Kara out for coffee, not you.

T: ...

T: first of all, that was very rude.

T: I am a great person to hang out with at coffee shops!

T: you want a 10/10 date, man? Look no further, here I am.

Z: ...

T: offering my services for literally no monetary payment.

T: except for the regular a dozen cups of coffee per hour.

***

Z: I feel like a date with you at a coffee shop would be an absolute fail.

T: WHAT?

T: WHY?

T: HOW?

Z: 😂

T: NOOOOOOOOO

T: explain yourself.

Z: if you and your "date" went to a coffee shop, you would literally pay attention only to your coffee.

Z: that would be infuriating for the other party.

T: oh...
