They aren't. I don't even think they stayed the whole night that particular day. I could be wrong? I just remember my dad screaming at me for like an hour.
Yeah, I used to get yelled at for listening to the Smiths. I guess my choice in music wasn't masculine enough or something.
That sucks, man. You shouldn't have to get used to it. You know if shit ever gets bad, you can come lay low over here for a while. I know my mom wouldn't mind.
Yeah, yeah. Technicalities. Maybe we shared the title.
There is so much I could say, but I'll leave it for now.
You know, just because you can cook some meals doesn't mean you should have to. You're still a kid just as much as I am, you should be able to enjoy someone else cooking for you, still.
They were. Kind of really glad you grew past all of that.
I mean. Technically, yes.[ Takeout was always a luxury for the Byers family, because groceries could churn out multiple meals with the same amount of money as Chinese takeout. ]But there's something about mom's homecooked meals that always hit differently.
I wasn't that great, either, though.[ He's learned his lesson about boundaries and consent when it comes to photography, for instance. ]
I'm glad it worked out the way that it did, for the most part. Wish I had done some things differently, but. I'm hoping that I can make up for that now.

Damn, that must have been a long walk if it did that much damage.
Wait, what? You talk like your parents are never home.
Unfortunately when you're the town freak people tend to mess with you, so yeah.

Thought that was Eddie?
no subject
Jesus. Screaming at you, why? For losing your shoe?
My dad didn't usually take it out on us, but. I've heard enough shouting matches to know he's a douchebag, so. I'm sorry yours is, too.
Yeah, well, maybe he took over the mantle after we moved to California, who's to really say.
no subject
Yeah, man! How dare I lose a Nike shoe! Come on! I'm fucking stupid and a disgrace incase you missed it.
Its fine. I've grown used to it to be honest.
Pretty sure Munson held it before then.

I guess I've just gotten numb to it?Sometimes it's pretty refreshing that they're pretty much nonexistent as shitty as that sounds.
Uh thanks?
That possible?
no subject
That's not something you should have to get numb to, but such is life I guess.
Hey, don't mention it. I know we've had our differences but. We've both grown since then, you know? You shouldn't have to eat dinner alone.
No offense, but pretty sure you former friends would call anyone a freak that didn't fit in.
no subject
If at all...
Thanks but it's really not that bad mostly. At least I can cook some meals and I'm not totally useless.
Yeah.....
They were assholes.

That's what take out is for, right?
Yeah. I was pretty stupid.

no subject
I'm sure some people would argue that.
no subject
Maybe. But it's okay, I'm a better person now, I think.
no subject
I'm trying to be.
no subject
Well, it's showing, I think.
no subject
I know it's not exactly much now but-
no subject
Hey, man. It's enough for me.
no subject
Guess it's better than nothing, huh?
no subject
It is. You could have stayed an asshole, like Tommy and Carol. But you didn't.
no subject
Yeah.
A lot of things could have happened differently if they didn't play out like they had.
no subject

no subject
I didn't and well-
Guess I'm a babysitter now.
no subject
You're a hero. They really look up to you, and I think that's great.
