[resipiscent]

No, like, a Brenda. Minato and I are not nearly so serious.

[casual bomb dropped]

[notyourfathersosborn]

whos minato

i'm so sorry, normie

[resipiscent]

[wat.]

um

[He has no idea how to say this.]

... I didn't realize we'd never talked about this. Minato is the person I've been seeing since... the summer.

[notyourfathersosborn]

DUDE

I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS

i mean i feel like ive told you the names of all my stepdads cousins at this point

how come you never told me you had a boyfriend

[resipiscent]

I
it just didn't come up. We're not
all that serious or anything.

Sorry. I didn't realize you didn't know or I would have said something by now.

[notyourfathersosborn]

im not sure if i should be insulted by that crap


or if your boyfriend should


because you definitely just insulted one of us


its kind of impressive that i cant tell which

[resipiscent]

[Riku has had this discussion with Minato already, though -- he's not just downplaying it. No matter how serious Riku may be about this, Minato is not in the relationship for the same reason he is.]

Well, you can have confidence that I didn't mean to keep it from you, anyway.

[notyourfathersosborn]

still not sure how it never thought to come up in the past 6 months

especially not all the times ive mentioned brenda before this

[resipiscent]

I
you're right.
But honestly, even if I had noticed, I'm not sure I could have
brought it up on my own anyway?

I feel weird about drawing attention to myself

[He's kind of babbling now -- he doesn't really know how to go about explaining himself.]

[notyourfathersosborn]

but

dont you WANT to gush about him

[Shut up, Normie. Not everyone is a hopeless romantic like you.]

[resipiscent]

I don't know what you mean by 'gush'.

[notyourfathersosborn]

talk about them to everyone

tell everyone how awesome they are

[resipiscent]

Oh. Um... sometimes, I guess. Both of us are kind of... not that way, though? I don't think he... even knows that's a thing people do.

[notyourfathersosborn]

damn im going to have to coach you on this arent i

okay

what do you like about him

[resipiscent]

We're doing this now?

[notyourfathersosborn]

did you forget i have nothing but time

[resipiscent]

Just feels weird, that's all.

To answer your question, it's... complicated. Minato's not distant, but he's really quiet and he doesn't emote a whole lot. And a lot of stuff kind of... goes over his head. Like, expressions and stuff. Or social norms. But -- we're kinda similar. So it's easy to relate.

[notyourfathersosborn]

dude youre really making him sound irresistible right now

careful i might try to steal him away

[resipiscent]

Wow, I'm so scared that the guy who loves his girlfriend to infinity is going to come by and steal somebody else's boyfriend.

[notyourfathersosborn]

well shes not here

[notyourfathersosborn]

[And about approximately 5 seconds later...]

but for real shes my wife respect the ring

[resipiscent]

Right, sorry. It's just weird to think about the people I know being married.

[notyourfathersosborn]

well in my case its weird for me too

i havent exactly made it to the aisle

which is apparently not an aisle at all

but a hospital room

[resipiscent]

You mean it's still in your future?

Man, that's rough.

[notyourfathersosborn]

when i went home back in october

it was only like two days tops
