Not physically, I hope, because there's another source of emo for you. I work out about a bajillion hours a week, and I'm still a weakling...

Nah, I'll go with the mental approach. And persistence. I'm good at that one, I hope you know.

And I mean it, come on.

...and if that's the reason you're not letting me hug you, I'm so whacking you over the head at least once. Ugh.

Also? It's totally not my fault that your canon made you a weakling.

...because, clearly, the best way to counter someone's fear against physicality is to HIT THEM. :\

HOBOS BEAT ME UP, OKAY?

Alright, fine. I'll just hug you instead. Geez, Cal.

...where were these Hobos? Out of vague interest, you know.

WTF is up with you and huuuuuugging? :(

...And San Francisco, 1974....

I like hugs! And you look like you need them!

*jots that down* Do you, like, remember what they look like?

It was nighttime. I couldn't really see them, but they looked like...hobos. Why do you even want to know?

And I don't need hugs! Hugs will only remind me of the closeness that I can't have because my sexual organs are FUBAR.

*eyes him* Do the math, seriously. What area of town were you in?

But hugs! You let Amber hug you!

*sighs* Golden Gate Bridge Park; they beat me up because my friends were out at the Dead concert and they wanted to take the advantage to steal the good bushes by the water from us.

...And Amber's...different.

I have no idea what any of that is, but alright! Thanks.

... and, great. Thanks Cal.

Oh. What? It's somehow my fault that she doesn't get all bent out of shape and take it as a personal insult that I don't like being close to people? She understands, and you blow it way out of proportion.

No, I'm upset because she can hug you and I can't.

Good to know where I stand.

Um, okay, and when she hugged me, I was extremely uncomfortable about the whole thing, but she was crying and having really bad nightmares, so what else was I supposed to do?

Of course, this would probably be a bad time to mention the backrub she got because I felt really bad about making her all sad and quiet...

I don't know! Would you freakin' let me hug you if I was having nightmares and shit? I don't know. But wow, way to make me feel like crap.

Yeah. Whatever.

I'm sorry that you're sense of self-worth is so fragile that it can't withstand the impact of a guy who just doesn't like being close to people not hugging you for random reasons other than 'you look like you need one'?

And I'm sorry that you're such an ass sometimes, Cal. Someone looking like they need one is an important reason.

You don't know me well enough to have any idea about where my sense of self-worth comes from. Nice try, try again.

And you don't know me nearly well enough to be hugging me, or even trying to understand why I won't let you. So, yeah. Right back at you.

Mmmmmm. Whatever. So I am like a disease then, good to know.

Yup. Clearly. A chronic disease best be entirely avoided, just because I don't feel comfortable with hugs. Your deductive reasoning is astounding.

She says, while her harem lies in wait. Yup. Diseased. No one'll want to touch that.

One, sarcasm is totally not funny right now. And two, I don't have a harem, come on.

You're not exactly deprived of affection, either, though, and that's my point.

Sex is not the same thing as affection.

Yeah, but it could be. Might want to look into that, then you won't be starved to the point of getting pissy over a hug.

So sorry. In case you hadn't noticed I've been trying to be good. I haven't pushed for a hug, I haven't tried ambushing you for one either, or anything. Me complaining about it is rather minor.

And if you don't like that then I don't even know why you bother to put up with me.

Minor, yes. Still annoying. Sorry I don't feel the need to bend over and kiss your feet and praise you and love you unconditionally for trying to not put out your issues on other people as much.
