Interlude: Read 7:46

by Knifemare

Summary:

Desmond's looking to get a little more information about this whole deal thing Jamie is doing. So he texts their mutual good buddy Dustin to see if he has more details.

Interlude between Panic Switch and the next part

Notes:

another non-reclamatory use of the f slur in this part.

7:32 P.M.

Desmond

Hey.

Dustin

sup

Desmond

So what's Jamie told you about his latest pet project?

Dustin

uhhh idk not like a ton

Desmond

Dustin.

Don't fuck with me.

Dustin

i stg im not we dont really talk much outside the group at this point

he sent me some texts i guess but i dont think its more than he told anyone else

Desmond

Gotta be more than he would tell me, right?

Come on Dustin, are you really still on his side of this whole thing?

I mean, thanks to that stupid little misunderstanding last year you ended up with a broken nose.

Dustin

no

sorry

give me a sec to look through his texts again

Desmond

Of course, take your time.

Dustin

okay uh

he made sure i knew who he was talking about first

then he asked me to leave him alone from now on and said he was asking everyone because theyd made what jamie called a deal

that like if alex did whatever jamie said hed get everyone to lay off

Desmond

Wow, you remember the little fag's name? That's impressive Dustin. I bet you're the only one who does.

Dustin

yeah i mean its just because jamie kept talking about his whole conspiracy thing

honestly im annoyed i still pay enough attention to the shit he says for it to stick haha

Desmond

You'll get there.

He say anything about what he plans to do with him? I mean I know he's got his weird grudge with me but I have to imagine towing the freak around with him everywhere is gonna get boring pretty quick if thats really the only thing.

Dustin

uhhh

well he was probably just fucking with me

but he did say something about like

sex stuff

Desmond
Hm.

Dustin

yeah haha i think he was just joking though

i mean hes always saying stuff like that

he probably just likes having someone who never talks around to spew his bullshit at you know?

Desmond

Right.

Well, thanks for the info Dustin.

You know, you and I don't really hang out enough, one on one.

You should come over.

Dustin

uh

right now?

Desmond

Yes.

Dustin

right

ok

ill be right over then
see you in a sec

Read - 7:46 pm

Notes:

first interlude without jamie! made it way harder to name, not quite as quotable these two. i like their dynamic a lot though, dustin especially is one of those side chara ters you end up latching onto a weird amount except im the one writing the story so i got to just give him a bigger role lmao. also i formatted and posted this on mobile for some reason so sorry if there's any problems ill try to fix them later lol.

Series this work belongs to:

• Part 9 of The Deal
