Hand-holding!

"I think we should try to find breakfast from somewhere that doesn't have fire alarms."

Permalink

"I think I saw a bagels on a stick place earlier. I don't know why they have so many things on sticks. How'd you sleep?" 

Permalink

"Pretty well! I always sleep better with people."

They can eat at Vincent Von Doughnut, or Garden of Eat'n, or the Egglectic Cafe, or Baguetteaboutit.

Permalink

"I can't tell if I sleep better in Heaven or if I sleep better with you or if I sleep better now that I'm out of my tragic backstory or what." How about Garden of Eat'n, that sounds like it'll have lots of options. 

Permalink

The Garden of Eat'n appears to specialize entirely in egg dishes. 

Permalink

…actually how about Vincent Von Doughnut. "I have had enough eggs the morning after hookups to last multiple lifetimes and now that I can avoid them I intend to never eat them ever again." 

Permalink

"Sounds like a plan. --I gather from your tone of voice this was not the fun and empowering sort of hookup."

Permalink

"Some of them were fun! I would not however describe any element of the situation as empowering." Donuts! Presumably lots of them! He really hopes Heaven doesn't make you earn money, that would suck. 

Permalink

The doughnuts are advertised as being "SPECIAL OPENING SALE! 50% OFF FREE!"

Permalink

"I don't have much experience with it anyway, I had one profoundly ill-advised hookup in college before I realized I don't actually like sex unless I love the person."

Permalink

That's a weird way to advertise but okay. He takes an objectively kind of ridiculous number of chocolate-glazed donuts and sits down with Lev. "It wasn't the sex itself, it was more the —" 

Yeah, he's not going to be able to explain what he's talking about without explaining the tragic backstory. "I was kind of sort of a survival sex worker? Like, not really, I was sleeping with people in order to sleep in their bed and eat their food and maybe use their shower, but pretty much. And sometimes somebody would be fun and a lot of the time they really weren't." 

Permalink

"...fork. I'm sorry."

Permalink

He shrugs. "It was better than my other options. But yeah, there's a reason I called it my tragic backstory." Is he going to start eating now so he doesn't have to say anything in response to whatever Lev says unless he wants to? Yes. 

Permalink

"I. I know I shouldn't make your tragic backstory about me but I really wish we had lived in the same city and I liked casual hookups so I could have met you and let you stay in my apartment and then you would only have to have sex when you want to."

Permalink

"— no, please continue to make my tragic backstory about you, that's an adorable way to make my tragic backstory about you." 

Permalink

"I promise that if you decide you want to date me I will do my best to make sure you're safe and happy and only have sex you want."

Permalink

"I get teleported apart from anyone other than my soulmate if I try to kiss them, if someone wants to rape me here they are going to have to be creative." He is not a fan of this decision but it feels — nice, knowing that. "Have I mentioned today how sweet you are?" 

Permalink

"Well, someone other than your soulmate, anyway."

Permalink

"—well, yes." He's really not looking forward to navigating anything to do with that. 

Permalink

"You told me yours so I feel like I should tell you mine."

Permalink

"If you tell me stuff like that I want it to be because you want to, not because you feel like you have to pay me back." Also, that's not even half of his tragic backstory. 

Permalink

"--I was raped when I was a kid and please don't make a big deal about it."

Permalink

"...I don't really know what making a big deal out of it constitutes but do you want a hug?" 

Permalink

"Sure, I guess, just don't-- act like I'm broken and you need to walk on eggshells around me, I'm fine, really, it was just-- a thing that happened that sucked."

Permalink

"Okay." He does hug Lev, though. "I won't act like you're broken if you don't act like I'm broken. Deal?"
