[ That look on his face. There's something he's not saying, and Michael knows it. He frowns at him a little, but he falls in step with him all the same. ]
Okay, if you insist.
You gonna tell me what it is I don't know?
[ Or is it gonna be a happy surprise when they get there? ]
Things with me and Kyle were complicated for a while. And you stepped in when he needed someone. Kind of like when he went missing and you tried to come to his rescue. You two have been friends, good friends, for a while now. But specifics are for him to tell you.
[ Alex winced. That felt like something that happened ages ago. But also too recently. ]
We'd gotten closer because, for a while, we were the only ones from Roswell here. And then he hurt a friend of mine out of nowhere and what seemed to be deliberately. I tried to talk to him, but he... Let's just say there were things going on that I didn't understand at the time and I let myself be hurt instead of asking why he was acting like that. We drifted apart for a few months and you stepped in when he needed someone.
[ Michael thinks about that, about being the one to step in for someone who was otherwise alone. It's a strange thought. He feels like his and Alex's positions should've been reversed, and apparently they weren't.
It also seems to imply that he did the right thing, which. Is heartening, he guesses. ]
I'll ask him about it. I gotta say I never would've thought something like this would be between me and Kyle.
I have to admit that I was a little surprised. But then I lived through the last few years of life in Roswell. And had you telepathically slamming doors in my face because of him. And I'm not surprised anymore. He and I worked out our issues back home - and yeah, here, too - so I can't imagine it would have taken you that long to actually admit that you were friends with him.

Date: 2022-01-19 11:21 pm (UTC)Had something similar happened here? Maybe something more.
It's weird to think about, and he's frowning, now. His hands settle in his pockets while he follows Alex. ]
Okay. I guess, let's go talk to him.
Why were you complicated?
