(Despite his overzealous attitude towards sex, Dirk really hadn't been living up the life of a slut since arriving in Trench. Nor before. He had only had sex about six times in his life altogether between two guys. He figured removing emotions from the equation would make his life easier. In some ways, he's pretty sure that was true. This tango with K was more fragile than whatever it was he had had with Savage. It would have been easier if he merely lusted after K. K would have said he wasn't interested in casual sex and Dirk would have moved on with his life.

Instead, he got a crush. Like an idiot. He can't even imagine what sex would be like with someone he was in love with who loved him back just as much. Mostly because Dirk couldn't imagine anyone being in love with him like that. Even with K, Dirk had silently started to convince himself that he was never going to meet TB's level in K's heart.)


Oh? (It's a gentle press. One that told K he was willing to listen if K was ready, but also one that suggested he wouldn't hound K for it either.

It...is something to be told that Brobot was a romantic gesture. Dirk frowns slightly, but not at K. Just at memories.)


You're the only person who thinks so. (He mumbles this.) Other people thought it was a weird narcissistic power move that was super aggressive.

(So. He's glad to know K didn't think that.

Dirk did plenty of shitty things throughout his various timelines, but he can at least honestly say he wouldn't do that to an AI. Granted, he hadn't treated Lil Hal all the great, but that situation was a lot different.)


He liked fighting and wanted a sparring buddy. (So Dirk built him on.) I don't mind. (But it is a bit awkward. Talking about being a pathetic teen always was. Dirk leans back against his counter, resting his elbows there.)

I had a crush on him for years. He was the only guy I ever knew and I guess I hyperfocused on that. I always was sending him shit every goddamn day all day long. I just wanted his attention. Then I started making that sucker when I got more confident in my ability to warp shit through space and time.

(And it worked. He shrugs.)

I've chilled out since then. (He thinks to say, frowning at K, curling a hand absently into a fist.) I won't like. Be up your ass all the time. (Even though he really wanted to. He was trying very hard to remember his past mistakes.)
