[it’s there again, the Thing. fluttering, warm. he lifts a fist, holds it out for Steve to bump.]

What would I do without those big brown eyes and mac ‘n cheese talents?

[retromix]

[ Fistbump! ]

Starve without the mac n' cheese, not sure about the rest.

[camarod]

I'd be bored shitless, man.

[retromix]

[ He pauses, thinking to himself as he debates asking. ]

What would you do if I wasn't here? Like, right now, where would you be?

[camarod]

[the answer is real obvious. he doesn’t need to think about it, but he does give it a second of consideration.]

Getting your boyfriend into trouble.

[and if he weren’t here either, well, he supposes he’d be a worse person for it.]

[retromix]

Mmm.

Hey, I found a house for us but I can't afford it. Can you and your dick pay for it for us? We should all be under the same roof.

[camarod]

I distinctly remember suggesting that, like, two weeks ago.

[retromix]

I didn't like you as much two weeks ago, you big blonde hunk.

[ It's a testament to Steve's good opinion of Billy that he teases him, letting that much seep through. It's harmless and kind. ]

[camarod]

You're saying all I had to do was buy you a bass?

[a beat. ] Where and how much?

[retromix]

It's around seven-hundred thousand to buy it. Midtown.

[camarod]

Jesus Christ. How many rooms?

[retromix]

Three bedrooms. What do you mean, Jesus Christ? You're filthy rich!

[camarod]

I just bought a car, dude.

[ good lord ] Gimme a month. I'll triple the video output.

[retromix]

Are you sure you'll be alright, working that hard? Do not make that a pun.

[camarod]

You think anyone's been hospitalised from jacking it too much? [genuine thought -]

[retromix]

There's not gonna be much prestige in being the first.

Do you want me to do you a favour or something? It's a lot of money.

[camarod]

Yeah, promise me Eddie's not gonna leave his shit all over the living room.

[he's thinking, okay. maybe four rooms - five? one for a studio, one for Eddie's music shit. spare for the kids (Max, El). oh, but -]

You ran this by Eddie?

[retromix]

I can't promise the impossible, and no, not yet. He's not all that interested in finding somewhere as much as being there.

[camarod]

Christ - talk to your boyfriend first. I'll worry about shit like getting a mortgage.

[retromix]

It's not a real house with a real mortgage, it's just for until we get home.

[camarod]

Uh huh.

[a lot of if’s with that one.]

I’ll take care of it anyway.

[retromix]

Um. Thank you, really. Mean it.

[camarod]

Don't mention it. Except to Eddie.

[retromix]

Brag to your BFF yourself, Mister Moneybags.

[camarod]

I do that daily. Talk to him about the house - I promised him I wouldn't you buy a place somewhere shady.
