(( A sing-song quip just before skipping off toward the locker room to wash up and change. He's maybe ten minutes before he comes back out in something more like what he normally wears: loose fitting blue jeans and reasonably baggy t-shirt. Sorry, David, it's short sleeved so you still get a little glimpse at the arms. His hair's still damp from sweat and he's flopping it around with his fingers as he walks back out, a backpack slung on one shoulder. ))
[David jabs an accusing finger at Lucas. Apparently the gym gambit has brought on some sort of epiphany.]
This is my punishment, isn't it? You were all magnanimous when I decided to join you guys, like "oh you wanna do what's right now, I won't hold the bombing against you," but now you know I like guys and this place is full of really fucking hot ones so you're gonna turn me into an incel by insisting we're married and keeping them all away from me!
(( His head tilts to one side, eyes looking off in search of a memory. Then he shrugs and heads toward the exit, waving for David to come with him. IF he wants. Shopping hasn't been forgotten. ))
Did you tell me? I'm sure I'd remember a conversation like that. Seems kind of important.
[Nope. First David's taking his phone out, opening up their text log, and scrolling to the exact place where he said I'm a human with human needs. Then he catches up to Lucas and shoves the phone into his hand.]
[For the longest time, David just stands there staring at Lucas incredulously. Is he insulted? Hurt? Just so frustrated he's questioning all the life choices that brought him here? Frustrated with himself for thinking they'd actually deal with the issue this time?
Yeah, that's probably the one.
Without saying another word, he snatches his phone back and marches away from the exit and Lucas toward the elevators. His ego can't take too much more of this today.]

So... you want to be a cheater?

I thought you meant basic human things like water and oxygen.

Yeah, that's probably the one.
