Oh... [ There's a twinge of hurt in her voice, though it's barely noticeable. ] Well, that's okay. We can still be friends!

[ceasetoexist]

I-

Yeah. Friends.

[Well. Shit. He didn't mean to hurt you.]

.....I'm sorry. It's just......things are confusing. And they have been for a while. And sometimes-

[He doesn't even know what he wants. Or he knows what he wants and does nothing to try and get it. Because really he's the master at making himself miserable.]

....Don't you have a boyfriend or something too? I thought you did.

[echidna]

It's alright. If you like someone else, you like someone else! Like you said, the feelings will probably go away before too long.

[ She doesn't really believe that, but right now she's too focused on keeping her voice even to care. ]

Well, I did, but... it didn't work out.

[ceasetoexist]

Oh.

[What does he say to that? He really doesn't have any clue. Does he try to be comforting, or does that come off as too awkward already? Does he ask what happened? Fuck if he knows. He ponders and ponders and just doesn't have a clue.]

Give it a month.

If it doesn't fade...for either of us...we'll talk about it again, okay?






I'd like to know more about you, at least.

[echidna]

Um, okay! We can do that.

[ceasetoexist]

[It's not a lie. Aside from Slugger and Picky, you've become one of the more constant friends in his life so far. He doesn't know if the feelings he has right now really are going to last or not or if they'll fade. In a weird way, he'd maybe like them if they stayed.

But at the very least, he's coming to find that at times he'd like to know more about some of the people in his life here, even if he usually tries to keep his mouth shut.]

Okay.

Um.

I'll see you around, I guess.

[echidna]

Okay.

See you around.

[ceasetoexist]

[He feels like he should say something. Something more. But it isn't coming to him. So he just stays on the line, quietly, before finally saying.]

Take care.

Bye.

[And hanging up.]
