"Girls are tiring. Well, no, I don't know if it's girls or just that I get tired of girls. I feel bad breaking up with them so I hate dating. Never goes well." He dated on and off since he was 10 but for him, he just didn't really connect with people. It wasn't the girls fault, they tried a lot but he just couldn't seem to find a way to fall in love and care about these girls in a way that a boyfriend should care. "I'll stick with you, Eddie. It's a lot harder to fuck up with you."

And with that, he casually threw his arm around Edward's shoulders, making that contact that Edward didn't want to make. Sure, it was no holding hands but he liked to be close to Ed. Felt good.
