"no."

he says it flatly, lips hidden behind the rim of the liquor bottle. he drowns it in a swish of alcohol.

"it'd be a waste of my time."

[attr="class","matias"]what's left of the bottle is downed, soon replaced with another. he extends one to king as well.

"why would it be?"

matias knows why, and yet the question is still aired.

the fact that he forces king to say it out loud, nearly has him equal parts running for the hills, or breaking matias's jaw.
[break][break]
they both knew why. asking him to speak of it was...
[break][break]
he simmers the boiling anger, and places the bottle down and near his knee. his slouch was... tired, and worn. he was tired and worn.

[attr="class","matias"]they both know, and yet hearing it only confirms it, seals it.

"yeah."

but,

"i don't feel the same about her."

and yet he's yet to tell her.

[attr="class","matias"]"don't know."

he shrugs.

"doesn't matter much, anyway. even if i do love her, commitment isn't really my thing."

his head tilts towards king, gaze reading.

"seems more like your thing."

out of everything that was said, that's what king decides to focus on?

matias doesn't bother suppressing his emotions. it's not anger, but likely something akin to annoyance.

he nearly laughs. he doesn't blame matias-- he's probably doing his best to be supportive.

it could use some work.

"ye that'll go over well. 'hey sage, I know ye love someone else entirely but, maybe gimme a chance?'"

he downs his drink in one go. bitterness drowning bitterness.

[attr="class","matias"]it definitely could use some work.

"you never know. she could be in love with you, too."

he says this knowing she isn't.

"i don't know how to help you, man."

he doesn't stop himself this time, barking a laugh that's rough but tingling with traces of liquor.

"first step is ta not lie ta me. we both know she ain't."

the tension in his shoulders relax noticeably.

"ah, i'm not ta worried about it. damned if i do; damned if i don't."

he turns a look onto the cooler between them, reaching for another cold one.

"she know ye don't got it in ye ta love 'er back?"
