...ok well i'm pretty sure you didn't regularly call your mom a bitch so you're already better at it than i am sometimes

what i mean is neither one of us is great at this but i know we can figure it out

...maybe we should just be honest and not try to dress it up too much

[lapidarius]

will that really be okay

what about the whole grandkids thing

[starmark]

she can deal with it

it's not like she'd have any say in it even if you were a girl

[lapidarius]

maybe not but that doesn't mean i want to disappoint her

[starmark]

...

okay i don't mean this at you specifically, you just made me think of it is all

...i think my mom is a long stronger than we give her credit for sometimes. i mean we spent all that time trying to save her and everything and she was sick from her stand and stuff but

i don't know. more and more it's like. she doesn't roll with stuff because she's a pushover, she does it because she's tough as nails and can handle it, i guess.

[lapidarius]

No, I think that you're right. She's far from weak, I know that much. I just

[...]

hell, i don't know. maybe she'll be thrilled and nothing else will come of it i'm just nervous

that seems pretty stupid the more i think about it

[starmark]

it's ok to be nervous

...when we have each other's backs we can do anything together, right

[lapidarius]

Absolutely. We can't lose as long as we're together.

[starmark]

So this isn't any different.

That's what my feelings mean. There's no one else in the world that I could have that feeling with.

[lapidarius]

Yeah. Okay, I think I get it.

[...]

I'm only nervous because I care about you, and your family. So no matter how worried I might be, it'd be pointless to run away or turn my back on that. You know that, right?

[starmark]

I know.

...I wasn't exaggerating, either. They love you.

[lapidarius]

I know they do.

I just don't want that to end up changing.

[starmark]

No one is going to stop loving you.

[lapidarius]

Even if I'm not

[A pause.]

talking like this is stupid i'm just in my room

where are you right now, please come talk to me

[starmark]

I'll be there soon.

[And sure enough, here he comes.]

[lapidarius]

[GUESS WHAT you're getting a hug]

[starmark]

[You know what, if he said he hadn't been expecting this he would technically be lying.

Which is a good thing, because it means he's ready for it and doesn't just accidentally rebound Kakyoin off his refrigerator-like chest or something.]

No one is going to stop caring about you.

[lapidarius]

I know. I know, I'm just stupid about it. I'm sorry.

i am going to use this icon forever prepare yourself

[starmark]

...No, stop. Don't do that. You're not stupid for wanting to hear it.

I'm telling you so you can hear it. So just listen to it. You don't have to do anything else, and you don't have to apologize. Just hear it.

aggressively claiming the noodle

[lapidarius]

...okay.

[is he clinging yes he absolutely is do you need to ask]

so much "it mine"

[starmark]

No one is going to stop caring about you.

[Operation: hug the noodle and let him cling, here we go.]

You don't have to live up to anything. No one is disappointed. None of this is going to go away. It'll still be here. I'll still be here.

he says, like we don't know who actually tops i mean what

[lapidarius]

I...I'm trying to remember that, really.

[why is literally everything about emotions so difficult.]

[starmark]

I know.

When I tell you, it's because I'm hoping it'll make remembering a little easier on you.

[lapidarius]

...yeah. I know that.

I...really do want to tell her, if that's alright with you.

[starmark]

Yeah.

We're gonna have to do that, yeah.
