[ The phrasing of that gets a (groggy) laugh out of him, because it's just so.... blunt and crude.

It's also not untrue.]

Yeah. Letting people live is sometimes really tactically unsound, and probably not even all that moral. Still a lot more comfortable than the alternative, but sometimes you've just got to do what needs to be done.

Yeah. Right? Some people just need a bullet in the brain because nothing else is ever going to work.

[Wade's not entirely sure that he's happy that Scott agrees with him. It's an odd feeling. Both vindicated and guilty. Because he knows now where Scott's coming from is over a mound of fucking trauma and loss and who the fuck knows what else. It's why Wade is the way he is too, after all.

He shifts in his seat. Thinking maybe a change in subject might be a good idea for the both of them.]

How's your thing been going? At the gym? Hopefully well, since it's been more important than sleep...

[ It's a good switch. They're contracted for reasons. Those reasons don't need to be too dragged out too far. ]

It's going all right. Do you know a guy named Brandon Carver?

Mmm, no, can't say that I do. I lost track of that show in season 5. Why do you ask? Should I get to know him?

[ The amount of 'Deadpool is bizarre' acceptance present in Scott is a lot. What is lacking his glasses make up for since he can blink in momentary confusion in privacy. ]

He's supposed to help you move the couch in.

I see.... [Wade gives him a mock suspicious look.] You trying to set me up? I'm not the one who needs to get laid more.

[Shockingly.]

The number of people who are concerned about my sex life is starting to give me a complex.

[ Not really. Well. Maybe a little. ]

I'm not trying to set you up. Sleep with him if you want, don't if you don't. He needed a way to 'pay' for the training time and that's what I was able to come up with.

Everyone's sex life here is pretty damn important. And people like you... for some reason. It's not that hard to figure out why they might be worried.

[Wade's stopped expecting anything to come up between them. And more and more isn't sure he wants it to. Cable might just be a factor too... when Wade remembers it should be anyway.]

Alright then. I'll make sure he earns it. [Wade flashes Scott a suggestive smile.]

People do not like me.

[ Does he sound crankier about that, than having been drugged? Yes. Yes he does.
Also:]

Do not make him 'earn' it. Just let him help you move the couch. If he wants sex, fine, but if you try to leverage it I will find a sword to shove up your ass blade first.

I mean, some of those people might like you for something other than your winning personality, Mr. Cranky Pants. But I stand by what I said.

[That's a very strange thing to be mad about, Scott.]

Oh! Wow! [He holds up his hands.] It's not like I'm gonna force myself on him. I was just fucking around. Unclench!

You're right. I am hot when you don't have to deal with the personality. [ OR lack of one. The rest he just acknowledges with a slight nod.

Fair rebuke and. He knows. ]

Pfft. [Wade laughs, moving to stand up from the chair.]

But see, right there? You've got a sense of humor. That's not nothing! Might be the only reason I ever get laid.

It's literally illegal not to have sex here, and I am absolutely sure Nathan isn't capable of appreciating anyone's sense of humor.

[ Not true, actually. But he does have a sense of humor and is using it. ]
