"This is--"

"I'm completely and utterly in love with you."

"Oh, hey Theo. It's been a while. When was the last time you called me?"

"..."

"Theo?"

"I literally just professed my undying love for you."

"I thought we both did on the first day we talked."

"True."

"So what's up? To be honest, I was waiting for a distraction. Sunday's are always so empty."

"Are you calling me a distraction? I am a God, Aash! You must worship the ground I place my foot on."

"I'm so sorry I offended you, great God of... uh, Pizza."

"Nice. I like that ring."

"God, you're so weird."

"Don't think I didn't catch that pun!"

"Wasn't trying too, asshole."

"Buttface."

"Noodlenose."

"To--Noodlenose? I don't-- I don't have a noodle nose!"

"I've never even seen you before!"

"...Would you want to... change that?"

"...Maybe."

"Then how about--"

"But not right now."

"What? Why?"

"I don't know... it's been a while since I've had someone I could just talk to. And as cheesy as it sounds, it's nice to have a friend."

"..."

"...Theo?"

"THAT WAS SO SWEET."

"Now I feel embarrassed."
