That is not what I was asking.

You know I find you delightful, a laugh a minute, and all that, right? That was absolutely not an insult. I'm sure, given enough time and the promise of many Jimmy Choos, that I would marry you.

But man. She's beautiful and smart and not into any of the nerd things you like.

[growling]

Not so sure Jimmy Choos are in the forecast. [ so close to broke, yo. ]

And no offense taken. Trust me, I get it. But unless you're looking for me to get all Hallmark on you, you might want to change the subject.

[ seriously, he will count the ways. ]

[chuffle]

Well, that's the sad reason we'll never marry. You cannot afford me.

[She takes a momeeeent.]

Yeah, all right. So she's here. Is she joining Derek Hale's pack of winners?

[growling]

No.

[ was that too vehement, or. please hold while he tones it down. ]

I mean— we were kind of in our own pack. Back home.

[ true. but also wow, he hates having to call it a pack. ]

[chuffle]

Cute.

Well you know how I feel about packs, so I'm all for this pack of two business.

[growling]

Pack of three, actually. [ paaaaaause. ]

Aidan's here.

[chuffle]

Aidan....


[Nooooo not ringing a bell]

Is this your way of telling me you're in a polygamous marriage?

[growling]

What? No, he's my friend. We were roommates. [ it's not so much defensive as it is annoyed. he's used to that assumption, sadly. well, between him and aidan; nora's a new development. ]

[chuffle]

Does he howl at the moon, too?

[growling]

Only on Sundays. [ definitely not mentioning the vampire thing. except she'll probably be able to tell the second she sets eyes on him, so— ]

Vampire. He's a... vampire.

[ don't judge, daphne. ]

[chuffle]

[SILENCE.]

Oh my god.

[growling]

Look, it's not a big deal. He's fine.

[ said in that way where he knows it's totally a big deal. ?? ]

[chuffle]

What does "he's fine" even mean, Josh?

[growling]

It means he's my best friend.

[ which isn't an answer at all, really, except that his tone makes it clear he doesn't really want to argue about it. ]

[chuffle]

You know I'm going to want to meet him.

[And a pause]

I promise not to attack him.

[growling]

Should I get that in writing?

[ mostly kidding. ]

[chuffle]

Is he likely to offend me?

[Pause]

Or challenge me?

[growling]

[ making a face!! that you can't see oops. ]

What? No.

[ a brief pause. ]

I mean, he'll hold his ground. But he's not— he's like a walking Hallmark card. Worst case scenario, he'll quote poetry at you.

[chuffle]

Then we'll be fine.

Look, the only reason I kill vampires are if they're attacking people. Otherwise, generally, I leave them alone.

But I still want to meet him.

....also, poetry? Really?

[growling]

[ casually not mentioning the number of people aidan's killed. or that time he was here before and killed someone. different aidan, doesn't count. ]

Poetry. I'd add some mockery here, but apparently it works with the ladies, so.

[ aidan's got game, who's he to judge. ]

[chuffle]

Really? Which ladies?

[growling]

[ three he killed and also josh's ex-fiance? whom he didn't kill, to aidan's credit. absolutely not answering that one. ]

Seriously? He's got a few centuries under his belt, I don't exactly have a list.

[chuffle]

Well, presumably you witnessed his awesome game, or I'm assuming he's lying about that.

[growling]

We lived together, so yes. Do you want a play-by-play, or... ?

[ because he's not giving you one!! his aptitude for gossip does have some limits. ]

[chuffle]

Spare me how your undead roommate hustled girls, thanks.

Josh, I feel that it is now my personal duty to be your better choice in friends.
