Group Chat—Nerd Brigade

President: Guys, I don't know what to do.

VicePrez: maybe you should just apologize

Secretary: jacks still ignoring you?

President: Yes. I'm starting to freak out.
President: Race even tried to have a conversation with us last night and Jack didn't even look at me, as if I wasn't there.

Governor: yeah, even Albert's starting to worry

President: I have apologized many times, but he doesn't want to hear from me. Each time he says "it's okay" or shrugs and I know it's not okay; we haven't had a decent conversation.

Secretary: you did kinda screw up Dave

President: I have joked multiple times about Jack being a little clueless on some things.

VicePrez: exactly. YOU joked about it

President: I don't understand.

Secretary: I think what they're saying is that you agreed with Oscar of all people that Jack was dumb

VicePrez: and he's not used to that. He's used to you telling him he can do it and that he's not dumb despite what everyone says

Secretary: I mean, I would feel pretty hurt if Blink ever told me I was invalid because of my shit with my parents

VicePrez: and I'd probably cry if Ro ever told me that I was too masculine and agreed with everyone else's opinion
VicePrez: I'd be mad if someone told him he wasn't asexual bc EYE kiss HIM

Governor: Les and I are dumb together so:/

President: You're right. I haven't said that.
President: I really hurt his feelings.

Davey sighed as he threw his phone down, running his hands through his hair. He's apologized so many times, so many countless times over the past week and still hasn't learned how to do it right. Why couldn't he and Sarah argue more often? He would've had this down.

He stood up from his place on the couch and walked to his shared room, the one his boyfriend was brattily occupying, and knocked on the door, pushing it in. "Hey."

Jack ignored him, lying back as he drew in his sketchbook. Davey cleared his throat awkwardly, kicking the toe of his foot against the floor. "Jack, I'm sorry."

Jack continued drawing, egging this on. "I shouldn't have agreed with Oscar about you being dumb", Davey admitted, shaking his head. "It was barbaric of me, and I really didn't mean it. I should've thought about your feelings, but I didn't, and for the past week I've been apologizing selfishly. I'm sorry for that, too."
