[There's a very, very long delay. But he can't avoid this outright like he wants to. Can't just not reply and expect it to disappear. He's seen the talk on the network. He's got to stick around Lydia for three hours to get this to finish.]
[ She almost doesn't respond, it's petty and she knows it is, but what bugs Lydia is that she can't even use it as an insult, can she? The girl had just been maybe like her, simple, not a girlfriend. It's not a comparison she likes. ]
If you knew he was a lizard, then you we broke up.
[And maybe there was some comparison there between Lydia and Marybeth, but then the same comparison could be made to any girl Zeke had been with. And there were a lot. But, to Lydia's credit, he hadn't been stuck on a killer spaceship with any of them.]
[ That's not— strictly a truth, because if he was so bad she didn't have to be in love with him once upon a time, now did she? Still, she remembers a conversation with Allison about how she was supposed to feel about a boyfriend and— well, she never got to enjoy that. Never enjoyed that breathless feeling and— sometimes she wonders if the closest she's gotten to that is Zeke and that's just embarrassing more than anything else. ]
You just want to hold hands with me in your room. Really? That's it?
[He's got nothing to say to that except agree. He'd called him a dick for a reason. But that didn't mean he was going to be any better - or even be her boyfriend, and if he could avoid this somehow going that route he would. The best avoidance tactic being staying the hell away from her before feelings became a thing, but he doesn't have that option.
And if sex is going to be on the table, then yeah, he'll take that distraction (because that's all it would be - not something to make the feelings situation worse).]
Don't remember typing "just". My fingers must've slipped
[ There's a funny thing about Lydia, how after Jackson she didn't even want feelings attached. Boyfriends were, at best, power plays, that's always how it should be. And Aiden? Well, controlling one wolf by his dick after being controlled by Peter is strangely invigorating. Zeke just— he's normal, even with aliens, he's normal and he reminds her in some aspects of Jackson and she should know that it's a bad idea.
But you can't ignore something if it's right in front of you. Maybe if the sex was impersonal it might help squash any sort of feelings. Maybe. ]
Implication, sweetie. We've still got to be touching though, so keep that in mind with whatever nice little scenarios you're coming up with. Be there in ten.

[ He broke up with me. ]
So, he wasn't my boyfriend when he was a lizard.
[ And then right after. ]
Where are you?
