"Already? To use your word: weaksauce."
But he was reading into it and sighing internally as they made their way out of the theater.

She snickered and retorted, "When the ******** I ever use the word weaksauce?" She probably had.
The longer the day went on the less she felt present in the moment. She'd always felt an affectionate detachment from Jack; all the joys of friends with benefits without any of the awkward mixture of feelings into barrel.
Now it was going in a direction she wasn't sure she wanted to take it; worse yet, she wasn't sure she had control of it.
Well, go with the flow.
"My place or yours?"

Lying there afterwards in that haze, familiar and unfamiliar now, he remembered something and struggled to stay awake. Intimacy was nothing new, but Chel's distance was. Maybe he had tried to compensate for it this time. Maybe too much. Jack was struck by a quiet and stupid impulse to turn on his side and pull her in, but what good would that do? This wasn't a movie. On his back would do. But he was staying awake because he was remembering--yes.
"I can make breakfast if you stay," he said.

"Eh? Yeah I like free food," she mumbled, having already found her shirt and put it back on. "Any waffles an' m'out. Take that s**t up with Chris." She let out a snorty, haw-haw kind of laugh.

"Oh...my God." He closed his eyes briefly. "Why are you two even fighting over that again? They're the same thing."

"It ain't, not really," she said cryptically. She had been lying on her back and instead rolled onto her side, palm pressed into her cheek as she leaned on one of her arms. "You been weird," she informed him.

"Mm." Jack rubbed at his face, partially sighing into his palm. "I'm trying. But I don't know what you're thinking." It was a clear invitation.

"Tryin' what?" She made a motion like her mind exploding via her hands. "An' my brain's always open- what're you talkin' 'bout?"

I don't know. "What I'm trying to say is--Did today feel like a date? Or just. I don't know. Like it always does?"

Chel actually had to think about it. While she did, a hand reached out to trace down the veins on his arm, as though it helped her think better.
"It ... felt like we went to the movies," she said plainly. Was that supposed to feel like a date? Chel didn't really go on dates- she couldn't really have told you what one felt like in the first place. "Did you want it t'feel like a date?'

"Well, yeah. What the hell did you think all this was?"
The sinking feeling from before returned in small doses. The breakfast offer was probably just as pointless now.
