Summary
Timmy barks a laugh and sits up straighter. Bends to rest his elbows on his knees. His hair falls in his face and the shield makes him feel alone with Armie; he closes his eyes and thinks about what that would be like. Maybe on the couch, a movie quietly playing in the background. Tucked in on opposite ends, but maybe Armie would be reaching across to stroke Timmy’s wrist, his knee every now and then. “That’s–people don’t talk in hashtags or–”
“Youths do,” Armie bites back.
“Oh my god,” Timmy laughs. “I–well, I don’t talk like that, so your hashtag:oldmanproblems are solved.” There’s a comfortable silence for a beat, and he asks, “Were you–I mean does it bother you that I’m–”
“Does it bother you that I’ve got old man problems?” Armie asks, the phrase coming out delightfully sarcastic before Timmy can finish his thought.
It really, really doesn’t.
