You really are too much. What will you lose if you loosen up a little, huh? You can't control everything, Friday.

[regulate]

[ Oh, he can't? Watch him try!!! no, he already failed at that ]

How exactly do you propose I "loosen up a little"?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

You could stop worrying so much about all that pride. Would it kill you to ask me again? What you supposedly want is right there and all you have to do is bend a little. You really won't bend that much?

[regulate]

[ His mouth thins into a flat line before he glances away, his fingers curling in his lap before he tries again: ]

I would like you to sing with me on one song for your comeback.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

All right then, I will. See? Now was that so hard?

[regulate]

[ His wings twitch in irritation. Maybe it wasn't that hard for Aventurine... ]

Thank you for agreeing to it. Now, do you plan to spend the entire evening here?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

We could have a sleepover to celebrate our collaboration.

[regulate]

And where do you expect me to sleep for this "sleepover"?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Awwwww, too cool to share a bed with me?

[regulate]

[ He frowns as he doesn't want to cause more offense after getting Jewel to finally agree on a collab, and really, Friday is the only one with a problem here... ]

I will sleep on the opposite end then, though I will forewarn you I am an exceedingly light sleeper.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

I will sleep so lightly you won’t even know I’m here.

[regulate]

Too late. I already know you are here.

[ But he's curling up on the opposite end at the very edge. ]

This sleepover will be over if I hear you snore.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

I don’t snore. Probably.

[regulate]

[ He's kicking him off the bed if he's lying. ]

Sweet dreams, Jewel.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

You’re going to sleep already…? Don’t you want to stay up and gossip?

[regulate]

[ He sighs and rolls over to face him. ]

What exactly do you wish to gossip about? I do not have any industry secrets if that is what you are hoping to find out.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Nothing like that.

[Rolls onto his side as well]

What do you do for fun? Who are your friends?

[regulate]

I rehearse, practice on the piano or my dance routines, read, and attend other concerts if I am able. I have a strict regimen I always follow.

[ He's going to politely avoid the friends question because he has none... ]

How about you?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

For fun? I write songs. I play. I walk the dogs and play with the cats. I read. I go to the bar to annoy Forte. I break things to make Mercury fix.

[regulate]

They are both good friends of yours then. Do you have someone you're especially close to?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Well. Jem, of course.

[regulate]

I was not aware the two of you were so intimately involved. I wonder why the tabloids have not picked up on that fact yet.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

We've worked at the same agency, under the same manager for a long time now. Of course we are going to be friends. It's hard for idols to make friends outside the industry.

[regulate]

I was asking if the two of you are dating.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

We are not, why? You got a crush on Jem or something?
