[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.

[withaburst]

Really?

[it's not like you like me back, so shouldn't you at least feel a little weird...]

[littleirony]

Should I? Do you expect something to change?

[withaburst]

Oh— No! I would be happy if we could just... keep being friends.

[it's not really a lie]

[littleirony]

You would be happy?

[withaburst]

Yeah.

[littleirony]

... Then let's forget the last five minutes.

[withaburst]

...

[littleirony]

Sylvia?

[withaburst]

[it would be simpler to do that, but she feels...]

—Um, yeah. Let's do that.

[littleirony]

... Good.

[checks phone]

I have to go.

[withaburst]

[giving her best smile]

I'll see you later.

[littleirony]

... Goodbye, Sylvia.

[withaburst]

[she waves, and only lets her expression fall once she's sure he's gone.]

[... about thirty seconds later (she counted), the other sibling sits down on the bench]

[withaburst]

[ACK]

[bighouses]

Listen up.

[withaburst]

[she... must have heard what just happened]

Okay.

[bighouses]

He likes you.

[withaburst]

I—He just said he doesn't.

[bighouses]

No he didn't.

[withaburst]

[thinking... about it... even if it is true...]

... It doesn't really seem like he does.

[bighouses]

That's his just personality.

[withaburst]

But what about your family?

[bighouses]

If he didn't like you, he'd introduce you.

[withaburst]

...

What should I do, then?
