What phone call?

York called you, didn't he.

gasp. no. how did you guess.

tho for real, what's up

If he talked to you, then you know what's up.

i know his part of it; wouldn't consider that to be the whole thing

If his part was that we had an argument, he said he loved me, and he kissed me, then I think you've got the gist of it.

i can't believe i'm actually the one saying this and i sort of dislike you for making me point it out but there's probably more to what happened than literally just what happened

Did he ask you to talk to me, or is this because you are a concerned friend?

i never got a conclusive answer on specifically what reason he called me for, actually, considering my main questions were 'do you want me to talk to him', 'are you gonna talk to him', and 'what am i supposed to do here' and the answer to all of them seemed to be 'no'. doesn't work as well for the last one, but i'm certainly not going to be the only person who gets spoken to so

We're going to figure it out. It just need some time. We can't just jump immediately into everything.

look before you leap on that and all, sure. so the speed's the problem? that whole 'imminent danger' thing usually speeds up the timetable

Is this you encouraging the leaping before looking thing? Is that what this is?

you're a v suspicious person
no you should totally look before you do things, it was an observation on variables

It's all a big change. I know he wants to give me the space to figure things out, but I think he'd also like a fairly quick answer about everything.

most people do tend to want immediate replies to declarations of feelings. they're sort of like an ultimatum without all the social stigma of actually making an ultimatum, since ~how romantic and brave, springing feelings on people

Maybe it's because I already knew how he felt, that it's not a surprise how he feels but that he said it at all. Like I've already had time to sort out how to feel about it. It's not really the same.

yeah that's sort of a different spin on it then, my b. so you wanted to just sort of. both feel a thing and just chill about it? impulse control's not my strong suit so

I told him I was straight; I'm pretty sure he doesn't expect anything, and the fact that anything was even the remotest of possibilities surprised him. I don't know. We were coasting along a little awkwardly before this point.

well i'd say not expecting something homoerotic from someone who just said 'no homo' is probably a reasonable reaction. might even say that it makes sense. was it like, a romantic declaration or more the fourth act movie type 'i have to express myself even though i know the script' thing?

I'd said it a while ago not right then. I guess he decided he needed to express himself despite everything in order to try and get his reasoning why he was arguing for an idiotic thing?

you sure there weren't like. any unintentional signals or something? he's not really a dumb guy afaik. although he's depressingly optimistic sometimes it's kind of sad

Honest question: do I give off any signals that I might be gay that you know of? Because multiple people have made that assumption. So maybe I do give off unintentional signals?

i don't think we've actually hung out in person enough for me to know that, it's kind of hard to get vibes from text if you're not trying to do that
well kind of
i guess that's not actually true
i was just saying like, york's not usually stupid so there might be a reason??

well
you are a model now

What does being a model have to do with it?

stereotypes??

There must be more to it. The assumptions were being made long before I got into the business. So there's something that I do or say or somehow that I act? Speaking aloud.

I should roll with it, basically. Instead of worrying myself into an early grave I still have managed to avoid somehow.
