you know the drill.

it's a lot to ask of me, i don't know what you were expecting.

we're going to get you dressed at the store, i don't mind it.

For you to not threaten me with death!

You're really buying me new things? I'm not just borrowing yours?

i refuse to be a liar and promise things i can't deliver.

and yeah, i am. it's not like i'm broke or anything, i can afford to buy you shit.

I'm seriously reconsidering this friendship right now.

Yeah, but... expensive things for friends is kind of overkill, isn't it?

you'll miss me.

is it really overkill if one of us can afford it? why are you complaining about free shit?

I don't have any way of paying you back.

Like money or otherwise.

think of it as an early birthday present then, if that helps with the consumer guilt.

just let me buy you shit already.

I let you buy me this, and you let me make it up to you sometime in some way.

I don't know what way yet, but just agree to that.

alright, fine, that works. can we get to the buying part sometime this year, now?

Yeah, yeah. I'm ready whenever you want to come over.

i'm already downstairs. get your ass down here.
