"Oh, fuck me," he said out loud when he saw who it was in the bunk room. He ran his hand over his face, letting out the most frustrated sounding sigh ever.

"No, thanks," Goblin muttered, still without looking up. Did he really have to be in the same room with Skittery now? The universe clearly hated him with all its heart.

"You know what? Just shut your fucking mouth," Skittery replied, annoyed beyond belief.

Goblin finally looked up at him coolly. "Sorry, do I know you? Have we ever actually spoken to each other? At all?" He knew this was about Maggie, that they'd been in a sort of cold war about Maggie for a couple weeks now, but he wasn't going to be the one to bring it up.

Wow, as if he didn't want to strangle this kid already. "You know damn well who I am, just like I know damn well who you are, you no good son of a bitch."

"Keep going, if it makes you feel better," he said indifferently.
Normally, he hated confrontations. Passionately. To the point of avoiding them at all costs. But ever since Maggie, he'd stopped caring about much of anything, and last night's drug and alcohol binge hadn't exactly helped matters. Whatever Maggie had told Skittery about him that had him so riled up, Goblin simply couldn't bring himself to care.

Skittery stormed over to his bed, practically pushed him off, then took him by the collar and threw him up against the wall, holding him there.
"It's like you don't even fucking care about her anymore," he growled.

Goblin literally just looked at him. It wasn't like he hadn't seen this coming. "So did you want me to what? Hang out with her? I thought you two were dating now or something."

"So why don't you fight back? You should hate me. Well, you probably do, but you should show it. But you're not. So that means she meant nothing to you," he said, unmoving.

"You're making her happy. Why would I hate you?" he said.
This was the same logic Maggie had used--that he must not care about her because he didn't argue when she dumped him. No one seemed to understand that he acted like this because he loved her so damn much, and he was absolutely certain that he'd never bring her anything but misery and pain.

Skittery stepped away roughly, letting out a frustrated groan. This guy was not normal. "Y'know what? Just forget it. But if you ever come near her, I swear to god I will punch you."

"It's up to Maggie whether I come near her or not," he snapped, surprised that Skittery hadn't mentioned everything he'd actually done to Maggie. That would have been a more justified cause for anger. "And if you really want to look out for her, you might want to let her know that Gypsy Demail's been staying in the lodging house and hooking up with the guy who took Maggie to that fucking brothel."

"I'll let her know," he muttered, his back already to him. He kicked a bed post on his way out.

Goblin promptly flopped back into bed and resigned himself to the fact that he was going to lie here shaking for the next few minutes. A visceral fear of being touched resulted in a pretty damn intense visceral fear of getting thrown against walls. Not that he'd ever let it show.
Pushing every other thought in his mind out of the way, he resolutely picked up the papers and did what he'd thought he might never be able to do again--went back into planning mode with a vengeance.
