“He what!?” Joel gasped, and Sausage nudged him, “How’d that happen?” He asked.
“Well, uh, he came up to me, and.. um. Well.. yknow.” Jimmy stuttered, and Joel finished, “Asked you out.. but, like, why!? You’re a great dude and all, Jim-“ Joel pat him on the back.
“-but that’s Scott and you’re not…” he trailed off, kind of gesturing in a way that was not vague at all (it was very unhelpful).
“Rich.. popular.. I mean, you look pretty good but-“ Sausage continued, and Jimmy cut him off, “I don’t think I need to know your opinions on my level of attractiveness.”
There was silence for a few moments.
“Do you even like guys?” Joel asked, and Jimmy groaned, “I dunno! There’s that Tango guy.. if I were to be gay it’d be for him, but it’s probably just a friend crush or something… cause I don’t wanna do anything with him.”
Jimmy rambled, “but, like, when a guy like Scott asks you out you can’t really say no..” he muttered the ending to his tangent.
Sausage sighed, and was about to say something but Joel beat him to it, “Not being able to say no is a terrible reason to go on a date.” He declared.
Jimmy hummed, “Thanks, Joel, but what else am I supposed to do!? Ghost him?” Joel opened his mouth to speak, but Jimmy continued, “No, Joel, that is a terrible idea!”
“He’d get mad- rightfully. I don’t wanna make him mad…” Jimmy mumbled, and Sausage spoke finally, “Do you not wanna make him mad out of care or fear?”
“Fear. Definitely-“ Jimmy started, and Joel finished for him, “Have you seen how everyone follows him?” Jimmy nodded in agreement at what Joel had said, “Exactly.”
Sausage sighed, “Just- make sure you don’t end up going on a second one, and try to get him to not share that it happened- okay?”
Jimmy nodded, “Yeah, okay.”
