John Watson

[awwnoun]

Do you like me? I know how this question sounds and I know I sound like a teenage girl but I - wonder, sometimes.

[jumpthegun]

... Yes? [Have a very confused John, Clint.] I like you a lot. You're, like, one of the most likeable people here.

[awwnoun]

Right. Guess it's just the British thing, then.

[jumpthegun]

Sorry... was there something I said before that made you think otherwise?

[awwnoun]

No, I just have a hard time reading you? You're kind of distant and unflappable a lot of the time. People tend to sort of just humor me so I figured that's the case with you.

[jumpthegun]

[Color John increasingly surprised.]

Oh. Uh... That's... I mean, it is just sort of how a lot of us are. Stiff upper lip, yeah?

[coyoteking]

Do you honestly think that you getting hurt isn't as bad as someone else getting hurt?

[jumpthegun]

Technically, that would depend on your perspective. For me, personally, me getting hurt is much better than someone else getting hurt.

[coyoteking]

I'd love to say that's horseshit, [too bad this is a forced honesty meme,] but I can relate.

Is it because you want the other person to be safe more than you, or because you think you deserve to be hurt more?

[jumpthegun]

I want them to be safe. Most people are more important than me. [John winces. He hadn't really meant for that second part to come out.] Just... y'know?

[coyoteking]

Yeah, I get it. Maybe that's why it makes me mad.

[jumpthegun]

Sorry. I didn't mean to say that second bit...

[coyoteking]

Well of course you didn't. But did you mean it?

[jumpthegun]

... Yes.

[devoutish]

Do you wish you liked me less than you do?

[jumpthegun]

When you do bad things, yes. Makes it harder to stay mad with you.

[devoutish]

What's the thing I've done that you've disliked the most?

[jumpthegun]

Not stopping Duster when he killed House. I know you probably could have. I know it's not technically your responsibility, but you could've done more, and you just didn't.

[devoutish]

I only regret it because now I know it used up resources that we'll need.

[jumpthegun]

And that's another thing that pisses me off about you. You regret, but not for the right reasons. Reckon you've got that problem with me going the opposite direction, though.

[devoutish]

I don't have much of a problem with your morals, actually. It only bothers me when you're bloody stupid or hypocritical about them.

[jumpthegun]

And what is an instance of being 'stupid' about them?

[mrcreamsicles]

How come you always try to take care of the people who hurt you?

[jumpthegun]

Not really going out of my way to do that. Bucky was the first. I'm a doctor, though, and I know this place messes with people and makes them do things they wouldn't otherwise. I wouldn't help someone like the Joker, though.
