[ as usual frank castle has no idea how women work. he squirms a little under micro's scrutiny though, knowing he should just spit it out. or type it up. wtfever ] we kissed
[ he narrows his eyes as he looks back up at david, what are you his therapist??? ]
like shit. i think she wants to hook up? now that i'm immune. [ HOOK UP. such a hip dad. he looks uncertain about the whole thing though, including the turn of phrase. ]
[ you come to him with all your problems all the time so yes???? but wow this is also crashing fast into awkward territory, even as david looks back at him with the same uncertainty. ]
[ there's this look on david's face for a moment where his eyes light up like a kid on christmas day, the fatigue melting away briefly to be replaced by the only kind of joy and recognition a comics nerd can get. ]
With you as her mentor she's gonna be the best babysitter in no time
[ lowkey shit giving, but look, he's happy the kids have elektra and wolverine watching them. ]
I've never tried making one before but there's a first for everything I guess I've got some ideas we can try And I know someone who might be able to help with the design if I run into problems
And yeah I was considering those too But there's someone else, haven't met them yet but their username is polaris I think they're friends with Logan Some kind of metal bender
Yeah he's got a shitty hand this round Blind and silent. I almost wanted to tell him to not bother. It's not like there's anything really useful on the network anyway But he still needs to communicate somehow I guess.
[ he gives frank the ok sign and that's that. he doesn't try to push it; if frank wants to talk about it, he will on his own time. that's how it's always worked between them.
the tea's gotten colder since frank first brought it to him, but he finishes it in the next mouthful. he finally sets his device down and leans forward, bumping his forehead against frank's shoulder. he taps out t-h-a-n-k-s carefully against frank's arm with his eyes closed. ]
[ once the tea is done, he plucks it out of micro's hands and sets it aside. his heartbeat quickens when the man's face presses against his shoulder and his hand comes up, rubbing a gentle circle against micro's upper arm. the single word causes his throat to tighten too, it's nothing he'd ever hesitate to do for david. it doesn't amount to anywhere near enough by his estimation. but his steadfast presence speaks volumes louder than any words he could say (or tap.) ]
