I don't know, just sounds like a nice gentleman who'd like... dance with you at the barn dance or something, idk.

I mean obviously Jonathan wouldn't. He's a total ass but you know, it's a nice voice.

[3rs]

he can dance, actually, he's told me

doubt he'd dance with you, he does not like you

[echokay]

No, he hates me. He's a jealous hoe :)

So do you like bourbon or would you rather a less dangerous drink next time? I have recs.

[3rs]

I don't mind the bourbon. I should have just eaten something after, but I just walked around in the rain.

Anyway, what are your recs?

[echokay]

were you having angst or just not wanting to go home? Or I guess both. Both is fine.

Mostly cocktails, I have some fun ideas. And some deadly ones. Do you know what Romy always drinks? Death in the afternoon. Crazy strong, crazy good.

[3rs]

angst and both, just had to cool my head

I'm guessing she mixes that with some cocaine. That's not how I'd want to play.

Yet. I'm saving my drug phase for later.

[echokay]

I drink it without the cocaine but you're not wrong.

I like Romy but she's a bit out there. Strange girl. Fun to party with.

Partying with girls is better than guys, right?

[3rs]

I've never partied with anyone without you...

Jonathan, I guess

not enough reference points to really compare data

[echokay]

Does Jon party? How does he party? Is it in the library?

Just curious how antisocial country boys get down.

[3rs]

Get drunk on bourbon and read. Sometimes he pets my hair and we talk.

Yesterday I started discussing cocksucking.

[echokay]

Oh, I love that!

What do you think?
And Jon, btw?

[3rs]

I really wanna try it. Jonathan almost choked on his bourbon when I brought it up.

I'm interested in the power dynamics of the situation, you know?

Jon said something like: Jesus Christ, Ed, y'all can't just say that there ta ah man

...I tried the accent

[echokay]

NAILED IT. It was like I was there.

So you shocked him with the whole concept of --

OH! I NEVER ASKED!

Is he religious? How is he with the whole gay thing? Is he a bible thumper?

[3rs]

yeah, I wanted to shock him, cause he was challenging me to say something of interest

got him hooked with that, let me tell you

and his father is, but Jonathan... not so much, he's a scientist, he doesn't believe in anything

sometimes, anyway, I guess there's some rest brainwashing

[echokay]

It's hard to not fear something you've been told to always fear, I guess. Religion in those parts is all devil, devil, devil.

So, did you get his attention?

Was he up for it??? ;)

[3rs]

Hm.

He got intense, I'd say. Which is mostly a positive in my book.

Think he got angry at me for playing with him.

[echokay]

Huh.

Angry for being all homo flirty or angry cause you didn't ask him out all nice like?

[3rs]

y'know

I think the latter

he did kiss me

[echokay]

Ha, told you so.

He likes you.

[3rs]

yeah

maybe

he said that with him, the game would get real and he asked if I wanted to get real with me

then he'd not tell me what that'd entail

[echokay]

Aww, bet he was embarrassed. Poor Eddie.

Your life is so hard :(

I'm making you food already though, that will cheer you up. Want coffee too?

[3rs]

how about I bring food? coffee's good though

and, yes, I don't know... he wanted me to 'let it go', so I pinned him against the wall and kissed him again, then he stormed off

[echokay]

okay, I guesssss. I'll just stick to coffee, the eggs looked weird anyway.

I guess it's hard to confront feelings when unprepared. Bet he didn't expect to show his hand that day.

[3rs]

I'm not sure what to do about it

honestly

also, what food are you feeling?

[echokay]

Pizza! And fries. Fries are amazing for hangovers, promise.

Anything greasy, basically.

And I don't know what to tell you - do you like Jonathan that way?
