[Wayne isn’t quite sure what to say to some of that, nor is he exactly sure what the reception to his opinion will be. It’s strange hearing a Megamind complain about the Game. Sure, Syx isn’t planning on quitting at present, but with issues like that, it doesn’t sound like a career change is that far off. It also doesn’t sound like a super healthy relationship.]
[Turning his back to the pair so that they can’t see is his mask slips, he sets about making up his own plate of pancakes consisting only of blueberry pancakes.] Have you guys considered talking things out? If both your professional lives and your personal lives aren’t going as smoothly as they were before, it might be best to try to figure out what changed or what you can change. I’ll admit that I’m no expert on dating Megamind, but I do know a few things and, well, I’ve also been getting some… perspective on various matters.
“Talking is good,” Harrison agreed, gesturing with his fork before stabbing another bite of pancake barely visible under the pile of whipped cream.
“Communication is important in relationships. But if he’s going to be a jerk, there are plenty of other heros in the sky. You can always try battling with another Metro Man or one of the city’s other costumed super types.
See how he likes you playing the game with someone else. I could probably put a good word in for you with the best Metro Man in town,” he drawls, winking at Wayne. There had been had several long talks with his mate about Syx before this meeting and knew that Wayne would love to battle the new blue villian…. partially to defend the city and partially as a sort of foreplay.
Syx hunched his shoulders as he chewed on his lower lip, “I don’t need to prompt any more jealousy from Wayne. He’s jealous enough as it is,” he sighed and poked his pancake again, “I have fought other heroes… but it… wouldn’t be the same,” he wasn’t sure how he even felt about staging a battle that was outside of ‘the game’.
“And Wayne doesn’t want to talk. He shuts down every time I try,” he continued bitterly, finding it easier to talk as he kept going, “I ruined everything by kissing him. I should have known he’d just turn into the same boy he was in the shoolyard again,” Syx closed his eyes, swallowing down the swelling emotions, “Too good to last.”
