Why do you push people away?

[ WASTE NO TIME MAKING SHIT REAL ]

[hardedged]

[ RUDE ]

They annoy the hell out of me.

[ which is the truth, but not in its entire form. she huffs an annoyed breath. ]

And it's better that way. Safer.

[fogwells]

[ Well, he can relate to that. He's ultimately the same way. ]

I'm guessing I fit better with the first option.

[hardedged]

Yep. [ a pause. ] No. Not always. Goddammit.

[fogwells]

[ He raises a brow, curious, ] Is this Jessica Jones admitting that she has some tolerance for me?

[hardedged]

Yeah. [ everything about this sucks. SIGHS. ] Mostly when I'm sitting on your face, though.

[fogwells]

[ jesus christ ] My mouth shut and out of your sight. Has to be your favorite place to have me.

[hardedged]

[ you wanted honesty, man #yolo ]

Just don't get your hopes up. It's not gonna happen again.

[fogwells]

[ And because he actually wants to know from her perspective, ]

Why?

[hardedged]

I don't want you around.

[ her grimace deepens. ]

[fogwells]

[ He remains unfazed, tone still casual. ]

All because we slept together once?

[hardedged]

That's the whole point of a one-night stand, dumbass.

[ she attempts to bite her tongue, but jessica can't stop the words from flowing. ]

Why do you care, anyway?

[fogwells]

[ Don't answer that, Murdock — ]

Because I, in fact, happen to like having you around. Because we're — we're different, but at the same time, you're as messed up as I am, and maybe I think we could actually help each other out. That we could talk some sense into one another.

[hardedged]

[ she listens to his response, lips parting slightly in confused exasperation. ]

Gross.

[fogwells]

[ He rolls his eyes, an almost defeated sigh escaping him. ]

There's nothing wrong with us being friends, Jessica.

[hardedged]

Sure there is.

[ there are plenty of reasons why it's wrong, which she's unwilling to discuss. ]

Look, we had one night together. Drop it.

[fogwells]

It's not just about that night.

[ And because this is all about honesty, ]

Tell me. What's wrong with it?

[hardedged]

Because I don't have friends, okay?

[ goddamn this compelled honesty crap. ]

I don't wanna care about other people. Can't afford to.

[franciscoramon]

If I made you tech would you use it to hurt people?

[hardedged]

What? No.

[franciscoramon]

Okay, awesome.

And it's a valid question, okay, this is the shit I gotta have contingency plans for.
