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.

[text | backdated to soon after shuttle painting]

[mysunnydisposition]

So. I hear Steffa was flirting with you.

[ She's really not mad. She's not sure what just happened, she's not mad unless Tim flirted back, but oh man she needs to talk about this. ]

[text]

[detectivewonder]

Uh. Yeah. When we started painting, just before we started working on the same shuttle.

[detectivewonder]

How...?

[text]

[mysunnydisposition]

She messaged me to talk about it. And then flirted with me, before I told her we were dating.

I think I broke her.

[text]

[detectivewonder]

Did she ask you out, too?

[text]

[mysunnydisposition]

YES SHE DID. I kind of felt bad breaking it to her.


Do not tell her I said anything she's embarrassed enough already

[detectivewonder]

... She rebounds fast.

Anyway, I think I'm going to have difficulty ever getting her to talk to me again. Which is a big enough problem as it is.

Steph...

[text]

[detectivewonder]

Do you *like* girls?

[text]

[mysunnydisposition]

i didn't say that

Okay, sometimes. Some girls.

It doesn't matter NOW, does it?

[text]

[detectivewonder]

Well. I mean, it doesn't matter to me. I'm fine with it. Totally fine with it.

[text]

[detectivewonder]

That sounded wrong.

[text]

[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.

[text]

[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.
