So.. I guess we should have that talk..

[Sometime after this...]

[A Snake and an Otacon find a place to talk. Because boy do the need to. Snake sits down on a couch then glances to Otacon.]

But Raiden- Jack. This isn't a competition! And I know what you're saying, but.. it's not something that's just going to be solved by one of us going away.

[He obviously doesn't know what's running through Snake's head, so he sits down next to him and rubs his back]

Take it easy. It's just.. a complicated thing, that's all.

*turns his back, unable to keep a neutral face anymore* *squeezes his eyes closed, trying to breathe normally*

*unable to keep his voice from shaking* Well- there's nothing else to do. I can't think of anything else. I'm sick of trying.

*staggers a little, but doesn't move away* *in fact, kisses him back almost desperately, reaching up to grasp his face in metal fingers*

[Takes this as a good time to bow out gracefully, such as it is]

[Slowly stands, trying not to draw attention to himself, and heads for the door]

[Takes his hand, but doesn't move closer]

I don't need to, Dave.

I have to.

Go ahead, Dave. [Motions towards Jack] Don't leave him waiting any more for you.

I'll be fine.
[He's smiling, but it's probably the biggest lie he's ever told anyone, especially himself]

[Pulls his hand slowly away, and turns, leaving]

*stares after him, then looks down to the floor, a pensive look on his face*

...David. I-

I need to ask you something.

*hesitates suddenly, glancing after Otacon, then looks back up at him, setting the part of helmet that mocks a jaw hard*

You want to be with us both. Right?

*looks down too, for a moment, as though he can't believe he's saying this*

Does that mean you're willing to share, too?

*crosses his arms*

That's the implication, yes. *looks more than a little tense* But is that the truth? Are you willing to share Otacon? Or me?

*one sharp nod*

*lifts a hand and lays it briefly against Snake's chest*

I'm not going to make you a promise. But... give me some time. With him.

[For his part, Otacon had been sitting outside the door on the ground. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed]

jeez.. what a mess, huh?

[He hadn't heard any of the conversation between Jack and David, and he didn't want to pry, but- well, no matter what, Hal was always going to be his friend. Their friend.]

?

[Looks up] Huh...?
