You've reached Tim Drake, Captain and Pilot of the First Breath. For some reason I'm not paying attention to inbound communications right now. Leave me a message and when I'm done chatting, meditating, sleeping, or whatever I'm doing, chances are I'll get back to you.

That sounded wrong.

[mysunnydisposition]

...

you're fine with it like you don't care

or like now you're thinking about it in the shower



...which is your business I guess

[text]

[detectivewonder]

Kind of your business now, too.

Uh.

Somewhere between option A and option B?

[text]

[mysunnydisposition]

...true.

good to know

it's not going to matter anyway. not while you're here.

[detectivewonder]

Is Steffa one of the girls you like?

[text]

[mysunnydisposition]

blonde girl named Stephanie? Isn't that a little narcissistic?

[text]

[detectivewonder]

She's a little like you. But she's not you.

[text]

[detectivewonder]

You're feeling defensive because if I wasn't here, you would have said yes?

[text]

[mysunnydisposition]

Okay stop doing that. The detectivey psychoanalysis thing. We're not doing that now.

[text]

[detectivewonder]

You're not denying it.

Steph... before you arrived... I was thinking about asking her out. There's nothing to feel guilty about.

[text]

[mysunnydisposition]

Oh

Okay then

...fine, I guess I like her. Since you're so curious.

[text]

[detectivewonder]

I can't decide if this is easier or harder to talk about by text.

Was I... okay, earlier?

[text]

[mysunnydisposition]

[ Well that was an abrupt shift in conversation. Okay. ]

You think I'd pretend if you weren't?

[ Wait. That sounds evasive. ]

You were. More than okay.

We could always practice more if you wanted...

[text]

[detectivewonder]

We're going to be... very, very clean.

I mean, I'd like to. It's complicated. It's not something... I don't think about it that much.

But I think about you.

[text]

[mysunnydisposition]

Complicated?

You don't have to-- never mind.

I think about you too. A lot.

[text]

[detectivewonder]

I just don't want you to think that, if there are times I'm not interested, it's you I'm not interested in. It's all this stuff, sometimes.

But, uh. I could use another shower. Now, or soon?

[text]

[mysunnydisposition]

Okay. I get it. And... thanks.

Soon. Very soon.

Re: [text]

[detectivewonder]

I know I brought this up suddenly. I was thinking...

If you *needed* someone who was into things like that more, or more often.

I mean, we do both like Steffa. I wouldn't mind. If you wanted to. You know?

[text]

[mysunnydisposition]

OH.

You sure you'd be okay with it?

[ She starts typing a few things and then deletes them before sending any: ]
Because I just got you back and I don't want
I'd rather have you than
I like her, but I love YOU.

Cause if you're not it's really fine.

Re: [text]

[detectivewonder]

I mean. If you don't run off with her and leave me to flirt pointlessly with Krista?

We don't need to. But look.

I was... never great at dating just one person. You remember.

[text]

[mysunnydisposition]

No. I am definitely not going to do that.

And yeah. I remember. Didn't think YOU'D admit it, but yeah.

I'll think about it.

[text]

[detectivewonder]

If Steffa hadn't flirted with me I never would have mentioned it. There was a second where I thought about it.

But I won't do that to you again. Not ever.

[text]

[mysunnydisposition]

I trust you.
