#fuckass james trying to win her over.

@brokenegoed sent: ❛ you were dead. yet, here you are.  ❜ ( betty to james. )

did he deserve it? with absolute certainty. was he prepared for it? hell no. her comment, despite catching him off-guard, is beyond justified. he has no inclination to re-visit the past however, so he attempts to quickly change topics. "i mean, isn't that kind of a good thing?" james shifts his weight awkwardly from his right foot to his left, hoping betty won't notice how uncomfortable he is. "doesn't that symbolise, uh... that i'm like, in my reputation era now or whatever?" bringing up one of her favourite singers was an easy way to distract her, or so he thought. truth was, he simply couldn't face this conversation again. not when he was trying to better himself. selfishly, he's almost hurt that betty took it upon herself to bring it up at all. "i've not actually heard much of tortured poets yet. maybe we could go for a drive and have a listening party? only if you want to?"
