[Parker doesn’t mind. In fact, when she catches him looking, she shifts a little, fixing her posture to give a better view. She’s used to people looking—- and she looks nice, so she doesn’t blame him.]

Does it bother you?

[She finally moves her hands- but it’s only so she can scoot closer to him, and if he lets her- gently lean against him.

It’s an intimate action—- but not one fueled by desire, but rather a hesitant trust. He’s warm. And it’s been a long time since she had physical contact with someone like this.]

[himbomb]

You mean the temp?

[Rex has had his fair share of dense scenarios, but in this case, he is playing dumb. It's likely she means the physical contact, which doesn't bother him so much as make him nervous. If you asked him, he'd say he wasn't the affectionate sort, but upon spending time with him it'd become more and more obvious as time goes on-].

Well, no, 'cause I'm pretty much always in a constant state of roastin' and toastin', so... The fleshy little thermostat thing in my head or my body or whatever maintains, like, some default baseline I think?

[That he is.]

Do you do this with all of your friends, or...

I know teenage girls are always holding hands and shit. But if a guy does that, or two guys, it's gay? What the fuck is up with that?

[misspitbull]

Toxic Masculinity. [She rattles off the answer a bit too quickly— there’s no playing off that she isn’t educated on this kind of thing. That’s Miss Indiana’s Outstanding You Can’t Be Racist Against Horses Teen for you. Anyway. Back to his question.]

Before shit went bad, yeah. Anna and I were basically sisters. And with cheer, personal space isn’t really a top value.

[Her nails are digging into her flesh again, the fury rising in her again.]

After that, I didn’t want Henry to have any reasons to be jealous— or suspicious. Since all my friends have garbage taste in men, they ended up dating him. I never wanted him to get the wrong idea and hurt someone.

Plus, all my friends are like? Tiny. Not all good to cuddle up to. [Except Lina. But she’d never tolerate something like this. She was far too Catholic.]

[himbomb]

[That sounds cute, actually- The friends to family things. He notices her hands digging into her flesh, and if she allows him, he will attempt to pry them apart. For someone who is constantly using his hands to destroy things, Rex's hands aren't all that rough, in part due to his regenerative healing factor.]

Do you just prefer tall, or do you like 'em broad too? Everybody around here's just so tiny. Well! 'Cept for Cal, Big Green Meanie-Boy, and the [hot] priest.

[the only reason majima isn't being mentioned is bc he is like the one char rex didn't speak to... rex felt threatened by his sexiness]

[1/2]

[misspitbull]

[Parker doesn’t fight him when he pulls her hand away— leaving behind tiny, angry crescent moons on her leg in the wake of her fingernails.

His hand is soft, and she lets her hand linger against his.]

And Majima. [Those tattoos? Woof. She won’t let him get left out.]

Mmmm. That part matters less—- you don’t have to be built like a —— [She almost used a football analogy. That feels foul in her mouth, so she lets it end abruptly there.] The important part is strength, right? Strong enough to throw a girl around——-

[misspitbull]

[she remembers who she’s talking to a second too late.]

Like in cheer! Like, for stunts and stuff, not—-

[himbomb]

[Rex would like to forget that everyone thirsted after Majima and mostly chastised him for letting his body get incredibly banged up in the same breath, it is a humiliating event he greatly hopes to wipe from his recent memory, please and thank you-]

Oh. So is that all you're after?

[The thing is, he knows he shouldn't do what he's about to.

Any relationships in this place are a recipe for tragedy, whether it be the heartbreak of losing someone to a grisly murder, or perhaps being betrayed by someone you thought was close to you. Even in the instance that they are to make it out alive, if they return home they will inevitably part ways, and if they are forced to stake out their last days on this stupid space station in feeble hopes of finding another place to stay...

It's all bad.

But Rex wants, so badly, to feel alive again before he dies, which he's certain is going to happen sooner rather than later. So, he stands.]

Strength? I betcha I'm stronger than your dead boyfriend.

[What an awful thing to say... If she attacks him, so be it. Holding her off will at least give Rex an excuse to touch her.]

Even without my powers.

[misspitbull]

[Instead of making her mad, it stirs something in her, and makes her laugh instead. She peers up at him as he gets up, but doesn’t move.]

Than George? Yeah, you’d win that bet easily. [Poor George. It’s true, though. He wasn’t unathletic, but he was in the Newspaper Club. That should have said it all.]

He wasn’t setting any records. Still hot. Just. Not strong.

[himbomb]

So then, wh-

[Why?

He halts himself mid-sentence. Rex is sure that she's said it and he didn't catch the specifics, something about how Parker and her now-dead ex were a perfect set, raised in privilege and together long enough so that they knew each other best.

But what Rex really feels the need, the incessant urge to inquire, is why a woman would like him. Sure, he's got superpowers, and thus he's snagged a cool and seemingly glamorous job, and he's handsome, but that is all Rex Splode, everything you'd see in the papers. Truth be told, his powers were a gift so that he could become a tool, and before that, he had nothing. Not riches nor smarts i the conventional sense, but what Rex fails to acknowledge in himself is that through sheer willpower and a considerable amount of dumb luck, he survived. In a way, he earned the gift, and then some.

Most kids his age wouldn't have stood a chance. Most adults, in all honesty.

What of Rex Sloan? What about him could be attractive to anyone but Samantha Eve Wilkins, who shared a similar uncanny origin and troubled childhood, other than the all that glitters on the outside? There's a reason the colors on his suit and even his voice are so damn loud- He needs to distract from what lies beneath.

If his mother and father couldn't even love him, a child they themselves created from their very DNA, how could anybody else?

Parker probably doesn't have an answer.]

You wanna get outta here?

[Rex isn't sure to where. His room's probably too crowded, as three's far too much company. Especially when he always feels so left out.]

[misspitbull]

[In Parker’s defense, there was a point when George had seemed strong—- but that was like. Middle school. Whatever. It doesn’t matter. She watches the question fall from his lips before she finishes—- and for once, she doesn’t push it. Instead, she holds her hand up for him to help her up off the ground.]

Ugh. Yes, please.

Are you going to be able to handle yourself while I wash the chlorine out of my hair, or am I going to have to lock you in the hall?
