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??
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.
[ Tony tries to parse all of that properly with what little he knows of Malcolm and what he does know, gradually, of this weird quasi whatever it is. ] and you're sure that you're not gay?
