<span class="mu-i">“I’m good.”</span> You wave him off, lowering your voice in kind. <span class="mu-i">“You guys got it handled.”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“Somethin’ goin’ on with you and stick?”</span> He questions lowly, eyes flitting to Matt before settling back on you. <span class="mu-i">“You guys haven’t said a word to each other all day.”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“We’re… kind of mad at each other.”</span> You admit, and Bernard looks a little surprised at that.
<span class="mu-i">“Over what?”</span> Bernard raises an eyebrow, clearly curious as to what caused the two of you to give each other the silent treatment.
<span class="mu-i">“John.”</span> You answer simply, and, although there’s a look on the blonde’s face that clearly indicates the need for more details, you’re thankful that he doesn’t press any further. You’d rather get back into that topic if you really don’t have to.
“Jewel will be fine.” You return your voice to a somewhat-normal volume. “I think she’s just nervous about being on her own.”
“Yeah, she and jerkface have been like peas and carrots lately.” Bernard grins. “Kinda funny cause I never would’ve expected that outta him– he was pretty good at keepin’ his personal life out of his Crux life. Lookin’ back on it though, the signs were always there.”
Fair enough, you think, because you wouldn’t have expected Matt to develop a thing for Jenna either.
“You guys can stop whispering about us any time now,” Valjean interrupts. “You realize we’re what? Two feet away from you?”
