ToTell
(Squilliam Returns Spoilers) To tell the horrible sad truth, or to spin a story? That, in Squilliam's case, is the question.
This can be read as a stand-alone case, or a prologue to the Squilliam's Jealousy saga. I don't mind.
Disclaimer: Not mine. Can I get on with it now?
"The horrible sad truth is..."
...that I didn't really mean what happened today.
...that I might've put you through all this for nothing.
...that I'm not who you think I am.
...that I don't hate you the way you think I do.
...that the hate I showed in the day's course was a coverup.
...that fate has very cleverly given you the slip.
...that I still feel the same as I did back then.
...that I've been lying to you, and to myself.
"Squilliam?"
...that those crushes from long ago are still there.
...that our rivalry was a sham right from the start.
...that I feel things with you like none other.
...that me touching you right now is turning me on.
...that I want to reconcile, to make things right again.
...that... ...that I love you.
...that I'd give my life for you.
Well, here goes.
"...I'm... a cashier too!!"
And that I'm a devious little son-of-a-weasel.
