Work Text:

Marcia

Jamie

but yeah probably lol

Marcia

ur terrible at comforting people u know that?

Jamie

thats the fucking truth

what did you expect though

youre literally dating one of his bullies

Marcia

yeah but ur way meaner than michael and he got over that

Jamie

yeah cause i saved his ass lmao

plus hes got a pretty thick skin for insults and shit

its the like actually hitting him that hes not a fan of

Marcia

okay but i didnt even do that though!

this is guilt by association :(

Jamie

lmao

tbf hes still getting used to shit

and idk if he even likes most normal people

he said he and his lab partner basically never spoke

Marcia

am i not normal now

Jamie

u gave me a signed and framed headshot of yourself for my birthday last year

Marcia

oh yeah i did do that didnt i

im so fucking funny

but yeah i guess whats her name said he basically shut her out of doing any work lol

Jamie

dude what

he said she was like a mooch or something lol

see this is why you can't take it personal he thinks everyone's out to get him

Marcia

huh

you sure he doesnt just think hes better than me because he was kind of acting like it

Jamie

you of all people gonna hold that against someone?

Marcia

meeeean! :(

Jamie

;)

Marcia

whys he so fucked up about the whole thing tho?

like i didnt even recognize him when you brought him to lunch

it couldnt have been that bad

Jamie

idk maybe he was being targeted by an insane dude with some kind of pathological murdercrush obsession with him

Marcia

oh shit

goddamn it

no come on he has to have some kind of like secret traumatic backstory you cant just be right about this

thats gonna make me look so stupid

Jamie

holy shit

youre not just blowing me off youre like actually thinking about it

this is the best day of my fucking life

Marcia

maybe you were lying about being openly bisexual to trick me into thinking im blind enough to not notice my boyfriends bff is a gay serial killer

Jamie

why does everyone think im some kind of mastermind today lmao

but seriously marsh you better not be leading me on here i am so serious

if youre gonna back out on me like dustin did the gay serial killer will be me

sorry that was more threatening than i meant you wouldnt actually be one of the people i killed to be clear

just like some nameless civilian type murders

to cope

Marcia

LMAAO

okay well to avoid getting your hopes up im not 100% on board or anything i just like see the possibility space more than i did

i mean maybe its all like a big misunderstanding or something

wait wait wait i totally glossed over the dustin thing what do you mean about that??

Jamie

shit

forget about the dustin thing i didnt mean to say that

not my shit to sharea

anyways thats an insanely frustrating take but its the closest ive gotten in forever so ill take it

Marcia

jamiiieeee you cant just imply dustin had a different opinion on something than tyler and expect me to move on

isnt my curiousity more important than dustins privacy?

ive never threatened to block you even once

Jamie

im not joking marcia drop it

Marcia

ok fine tell me a different secret then

Jamie

LMAO

okay sure why not

like about me or can i just breach someone elses trust lol

Marcia

hmmm

what about your not boyfriend

has your insatiable charm managed to pry any blood from that stone yet?

Jamie

oh shit i actually do have like a really juicy one that will help my argument a lot

but its like really fucked up so for real dont tell him i told you and dont tell it to anyone else either

like i promised Alex id protect him from shit

dont put me in a position where i gotta either break that promise or like physically fight you lol

Marcia

oh holy shit now i gotta know

i wont tell

Jamie

des has like, a pee thing

like he made alex straight up drink his piss

Marcia

what the fuck!!!!

no way

you wouldve told everyone

Jamie

im not gonna get my loser fucking killed over something no one would believe me about anyways

thats like the opposite of my job

Marcia

shit dude

are you like100% sure hes telling the truth though?

Jamie

of fucking course

Marcia

is that an answer or just a reaction

Jamie

both

Marcia

look im sorry dude im just saying like

if im an anti-social weirdo and this super hot guy comes up to me like

'hey i think the guy i hate is targeting you and i wanna protect you to spite him'

and then things arent as bad as that guy thinks like

maybe i come up with a story to make him feel all strong and protective of me

Jamie

what the fuck marsh

are you fucking serious?

yeah that makes total fucking sense, the anti-social loser just immediately clocked all my blind spots to come up with the perfect plan to manipulate me

thats why he has no friends is because of how insanely socially adept he is

no i can see your little dots quit typing im not fucking done

you think i havent noticed that you cant even remember his fucking name?

and you wanna try and tell me what youd do if you were him??

fuck you marsh

Marcia

come on jamie

jamie?

im sorry ok?

Jamie

whatever

ill get over it

just like

seriously dont tell anyone okay?

Marcia

yeah of course

i promise

see you around?

Jamie

yeah.

Marcia

Notes:

I actually wrote this the same day as the last interlude, right before it. I decided to post that one first, because I wasn't sure if I wanted to post this before or after the next part. then I saw it in my drafts and had totally forgotten that I hadn't already posted it so I was like 'I better post it now if I don't want to risk forgetting it exists entirely' lmao.

The thing about Marcia giving Jamie a framed picture of her own face was inspired by me getting kind of high the other day and coming up with an extremely elaborate au of this story partially inspired by the Disney Channel Original Movie 'The Thirteenth Year', and remembering the girl in that movie doing that to the main character and everyone just acting like it was normal lmao. I posted like the full stoned ramble about that au on my tumblr if anyone wants to read it, I've been shitposting about the series a little more often on there its been fun lol.
