[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.

Do you have something you want to say?

[stupidloser]

Just— remember what I told you before.

Uh, I guess I should go.

[littleirony]

[... hmph]

Do whatever you want.

[but I'M GOING FIRST]

[bighouses]

[DEEP SIGH]

[withaburst]

[I'M FOLLOWING YOU]

[littleirony]

[i'm not acknowledging you because i'm embarrassed, so!]

[withaburst]

[that makes two of us, so we're definitely going to walk in silence for a bit]

... Um, Zavier?

[littleirony]

[AUGH WHY]

Yes?

[withaburst]

[um um um]

... You like me?

[littleirony]

[rubs temple with free hand]

This isn't a productive course of conversation.

[withaburst]

Why not?

[littleirony]

It doesn't matter how I feel about you.

[withaburst]

[right, the parent thing, but]

... Doesn't it?

[littleirony]

It's far better off this way in the long run.

[withaburst]

But wouldn't you be unhappy?

[littleirony]

I'm not that fragile.

[withaburst]

[oh.]

Oh.

[littleirony]

... I wanted to spare your feelings, but my sister has ideas.

[withaburst]

But... hearing it made me really happy.

[littleirony]

Yes. Well.
