GREGOR.

의미불명 만화 I don't know why I drew this

Trying to slowly crawl out of the artblock #lcb13 #lcb9

@soleilstranger No. No. It's okay. I gotta be used to being like this. And... I kind of like it. I grew up in a lab. Four white walls. The only people speaking to me through a glass window.

@roachatarms Do you want me to step away?

(Pillsbury doughboy in my notifications.)

@soleilstranger H-hey, nah. It's all good. I should be honest too. It's been a while, and I'm not really used to... human proximity. Even now.

@roachatarms Oh, you are embarrassed. [He withdraws his hand, ears tinting much the same.] Khm. I apologize.

@soleilstranger I... guess. [Fuck. He shifts uncomfortably.]

@roachatarms It isn't that hot in here, and the sudden appearance of this rules out a fever... ...Yes?

@soleilstranger [Oh boy. It's certainly warm. Warmer now, now that he feels the heat of Meursault's palm on his skin.] ...M-Meursault?

@roachatarms [Putting a hand on his forehead.]

Bugs

@soleilstranger I'm not lying! I think that's what a heatstroke... implies.

@roachatarms No, that would be fine, if it was not you lying.

<- rizzless awkward loser

@soleilstranger O-Oh! I don't mean to, like, mansplain...? To you. I'm sure you know what that means!!! My bad. [Clasping his hands apologetically.]

@roachatarms Then why are you trying to explain to me how heat stroke works.

@soleilstranger What?! No, not at all. If anything, ya one of the smarter ones I know. You had a prestigious position in—N Corp, right? You worked your way up there pretty well.

@roachatarms Hm. Do you think that I am stupid, Gregor?

@soleilstranger Ya know, these things, um, they catch up to you quick. 💦 One moment, and poof, your- my- my face's red. [Lame excuse. He's chewing on his cigarette nervously.]

@roachatarms You were not red a moment ago.

@soleilstranger I-It's the weather. The heat. Heat stroke. Heat. Heat wave. Yeah.

@roachatarms [He leans back once it's lit, but he's still closer than he should be.] Merci. You're quite red.

我被毁了

@soleilstranger [The edge of the stick sizzles lightly, and brings flame to Meursault's cigarette. It's close. Way too close. Gregor feels like he should be doing something else, all of a sudden, and his body heats up uncomfortably.]

@roachatarms [He has a lighter, but he's much more inclined to do that. Meursault approaches with the cigarette in his mouth, leaning in.]

@soleilstranger / amazing. Where is my gay smoking buddy

@roachatarms // i think you can and it's very gay.

/ I have no idea if you can actually light a cig using another one. I smoke alone 😭
