( His face scrunches up with clear distaste. Stupid sincere eye contact. Stupid sincere Lance.
At least neither of them knows what the fuck they're doing, and it isn't just Ian being socially dumb. )
I feel like every time we talk it's just me playing myself.
( Shooting his own damn self in the foot even though he knows Lance well enough by now he should just expect it. This is their arrangement. He just... Usually doesn't think about himself first. It seems less important than helping Lance navigate his own stuff.
It's fine. He's just going to block the whole concept out until he's actually forced to do it, and he'll... Figure out how to navigate then. He can't imagine a scenario where he isn't locked down under full control of his outward expressions of feeling. It'll be fine. )
Alright. Deal. Standing Tuesday appointment, I'll pencil you in. Have my secretary call your secretary.
