[after getting over his "i can't believe i just said that and now i need to crawl into a hole and die" mood, stupid loser standing alone in the middle of some park. he left campus and just... kept walking until he decided to stop.

he pulls out his phone and his thumb does hesitate over fitz's name for a moment, but...]

Hey.

[grunts because that's not similar to me at all!]

[withaburst]

... Can I ask you something?

[littleirony]

Go ahead.

[withaburst]

[looking at fitz]

What would you do if you... really liked someone, but knew that your parents wouldn't approve?

[littleirony]

[wh]

I wouldn't pursue it.

[withaburst]

Even if you were really happy?

[littleirony]

Why should I put someone I supposedly like in a position where they would get hurt?

[withaburst]

Maybe that would happen either way. You don't think it would be worth it to try?

[littleirony]

It depends on the person.

[withaburst]

Hmm.

[leans back in her seat, lost in thought.]

[littleirony]

... Is this an issue you're having?

[withaburst]

[flushed for some reason]

No, my family's... I don't know what it's like, so I wanted to understand a little better.

[littleirony]

I see.

[p...auses]

What would you do, then?

[withaburst]

Even if I knew I wasn't supposed to... I don't think I'd be able to help how I feel.

[littleirony]

It goes away.

[withaburst]

That's still kind of sad.

[littleirony]

Not if the other person didn't share your [shrugs his shoulder in lieu of making a dismissive gesture] feelings.

[withaburst]

But what if they did?

[littleirony]

Then you're in a cliche, and should stop while you're ahead.

[withaburst]

[laughing]

Fair enough!

[littleirony]

But you'd pursue it either way.

[withaburst]

I'd give it a try, at least.

[bighouses]

Just ask her out, you weenie.

[littleirony]

[... turns up the music]

[withaburst]

[i didn't hear what she said so i'm going to assume it just got Awkward]

Oh, sorry I asked such a weird question.
