[From how Syx was acting earlier, Wayne doubts that the other man would consider giving up on the other Metro man. It’s just not in blue people to be quitters like that. And, while he would love to have an excuse to battle Syx, it just wouldn’t seem right to do so for the express purpose of making another version of himself jealous.]
[Wayne’s eyes flicker red momentarily. He well remembers who and what he used to be as a child. He was a jerk and a bully and thoroughly insecure.] This might be presumptuous of me to say, but have you considered that he is scared? My defense when I was a kid was to lash out at certain targets when I was afraid. I know that that is largely what caused my Megamind to become a villain. I was afraid of what his obvious alienness mess up in my life, so I painted a target on his back.
“Well whatever his reasons, it sounds like someone needs to shape up. You could absolutely do better. There are plenty of other fish in the sea, hell, there are plenty of other Waynes in town if that’s your type,” Harrison said blithely. He reached over and gave Syx’s knee a supportive squeeze. “You’re a real catch – cute, sexy, smart, and far more well adjusted than one might think given your choice of profession. If he doesn’t appreciate you, fuck him.”
“Does it really change anything if he is?” Syx answered Wayne, “He won’t talk to me… and… I can’t…” -survive being hurt again- “So maybe he is. But I don’t know how to help him and I’m not some- some- toy! to be coveted and kept.”
“If… if he can’t share… maybe he just… can’t have me,” Syx swallowed, but that went both ways. If Wayne couldn’t have him… he couldn’t have Wayne either. Making an exasperated sound syx covered his face, all the thoughts that had been churning in his head were leaking out and finding voice. He didn’t really want to end things with Wayne, did he?
Looking up at Harrison, he didn’t even know what to say. A different Wayne? He knew that a threesome would involve Harrison’s mate… but… replacing Wayne? He… he couldn’t…
Slumping to lean his head on Harrison’s shoulder, Syx sighed, “I’m not ready to make a decision yet… Things always work out in the end, right? There’s always a rough patch before the path becomes clear,” his eyes stayed on the table as he rehearsed his acceptance of life, “I always end up on top.”
