When Rich arrives, they also have to hold him down but it's better with two people.
It's a little difficult, considering his strength, but they manage it.
"Not to self, never take drugs from you."
"I'm so glad Michael has like.... an endless supply of MD Red."
"I'm just glad you guys could hold me down, like SHIT dudes."
"We're stronger than we look."
"I'll say. Hot damn, nerds." Jeremy laughs.
"Rich, tell him why you showered this morning."
"Oh yeah. J-dog, I had to get the smell of party off me. Can you guess what part smells like? "
"Alcohol and drugs?"
"Jakey D."
"Wait, really? Jake??" He sounds surprised.
"Yup." He's so proud of himself.
"Jake Dillinger. The one and only. Jeremy, listen when I tell you he's -"
"OOOOKAY, THANKS RICH, THAT'S ENOUGH. " Jeremy chuckles.
"I'm impressed."
"I was too! Hope he takes me home from the next one too. Maybe we could make that a thing, we fuck after parties." he shrugs.
"You mean like Boyfriends? Or friends with benefits?"
"I'm gonna go with option 2 to start. I know what Jake's like, and I'll be Damned if he thinks he can play me. He wants to be my boyfriend he's gotta put in the effort to be mine and only mine."
"Preach." He takes Michael's hand, smiling.
"So until he wants to do that, I'll settle with being a casual night here and there. Can't say I'd ever turn him down, yknow?"
"I know the feeling, Rich."
"Sorry..." Jeremy still feels bad about that.
"It's fine, dude, I just meant liking somebody enough for that. If you'd told me you only wanted to be friends with benefits, I would've been the best damn friend with the best damn benefits you'd ever have."
"And THAT'S what I plan to do. "
"And who knows. Maybe he'll warm up and want to date you."
"Yep! Now you guys got the idea. It's a flawless plan."
"Unless he leave you for someone else...
Jake likes guys?"
"Jake like EVERYBODY. and that's the point of friends with benefits: you aren't tied to one person. So if Jake wants to go fuck around with someone else, that's his loss and I can find someone else to occupy my time until he comes crawling back to my sweet ass."
"But what if he doesn't?"
"Then... It's... It's his loss." Jeremy nods. He wants his boy. He's currently on the ground, unable to get up with the other two. They're all sort of on the ground, Rich being covered in MD Red, his shirt soaked. It's quite a spectacle when Jared returns. He walks in and just stops.
"It gets weirder and weirder every time I walk through this door, I swear."
"Is all good, crisis averted."
"No tree boy? "
"He's busy right now with tree stuff."
"Mmmmmm that tree boy and his tree stuff."
"I try to understand what he's talking about but it's just.... so many words I don't understand."
"Damn. Sounds like Jeremy in any math class ever."
