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?

[3rs]

I'll get something greasy then, because my head is killing me

hm

how do I tell?

[echokay]

idk? I've never been into someone like that.

OH! Lets do some quzzes online :D

That always helps.

[3rs]

...sure, that's scientifically sound

fuck me, whatever, let's do it

[echokay]

linked you a buzzfeed quiz, do it and get back to me.

Then we dish.

[3rs]

True love.

Though I suspect I could fill that out about you and it'd have the same result. Or about Deirdre. Honestly, about a lot of people.

[echokay]

Ew, call her Query, you nerd.

And okay, point taken. I'll find another.

Okay, sent :D

[3rs]

...I don't talk about ANY of the first four with Jonathan

well, I talk at him, but that is not something to talk about WITH him

maybe if 'show' is 'book'

[echokay]

NERRRRRRDS

:D

When you're here, I'll quiz you myself. Maybe we can work it out.

[3rs]

I got us fried chicken

open the door, I'm headed up the stairs

[echokay]

I buzzed you <3

Opening the door, Echo moved back into the kitchen and sat on the counter, looking on her phone for more ways to tell apart a friend from a lover. "Hey, do you think Jonathan has dreamy eyes?"

[3rs]

"I mean, he does. I suppose it'd depend on the definition of 'dreamy', but he does have those true blues. Don't know a lot of people with that." Edward shrugged and followed behind her, sitting down and eating another piece of fried chicken. She was right, the grease really was doing wonders. "I told him that. Gorgeous, is what I said, he didn't believe me. His eyes are special. Blue eyes are a mutation, you know that?"

[echokay]

"Oh yeah, all from the same oceanic man-slut. Lucius explained it to me once. He didn't use that word but... I got the gist." She took some chicken and ate it as she looked at quizzes, unable to find one that was likely going to be any good. Not for these nerds. "I guess the question is, could you see yourself dating Jonathan? Could you kiss him and fuck him? Could you live with him? Do you want to be with him?"

That was the baseline of love, wasn't it?

[3rs]

"Yes, that is one of the questions, but really not the most important one. I mean, I've been wanting to live with Jonathan one day since middle school, that's a no-brainer. And apparently he's a good kisser? Who'd have guessed. If he really is into sex, which I was unaware of, I'm sure we could make that work."

Edward wasn't going to say anything about him being a man-slut, but he supposed he could be. If he wanted to. "The real question is what he expects. Does he want monogamy? Does he even actually want me? And does he think I'm handsome? I don't think I'd want to date someone I can't startle with my handsomeness at times."

[echokay]

"Then confront him somewhere where he can't leave and make him answer. If he can't then accept that maybe he doesn't love you or, if he does, he clearly doesn't love you right. That's not good, you don't want that." He wanted someone who called him pretty and petted his hair. Which is what she did with her non-chicken hand - she petted him and smiled. "You're a pretty, cutie. You need to be loved properly."

And she would make sure it happened. If Jonathan did date him, she'd make him be lovely or she'd have to kick his ass. Not hard, the boy was a beanpole.

[3rs]

"I am pretty." Edward wouldn't expect Jonathan to compliment him much, or ever really, but he'd at the very least want to see the appreciation. Although he supposed that if Jonathan really wasn't asexual after all, there were a lot more non-verbal cues of admiration to watch out for. "I asked him if he wants me to be his, but by then he was just yelling at me to let it go. I offered to get a collar or everything."

Offered, was an ass about it, one of the two. "I don't know. I'm not sure I could give him what he wants. If he even wants it."
