you had a bit of an adjustment period, as i recall. but ok not the same.

dirk is a lot colder. dave reminds me a lot of guys i know back home, all dick jokes and acting cool.
it gets more complicated.
ok so john's in love with dave, they've been best friends for years.
dave has a troll boyfriend back home.
so i guess dave and john talked, and they like each other. but john doesn't want to give me up. so.

here we are.

[moondregs]

If by ‘adjustment period’ you mean me being an idiot and in denial I was deeply in love, sure.


Oh no. There’s a fourth person? And it’s another troll?

My head hurts.

Kyle why couldn’t you just fall for someone boring and baggage free? Just for a change?

[kyley_b]

yeah, that! and you were scared of hurting them.

yeah but he's not here.


because nobody like that exists in folkmore? because i like boys with black hair who make me laugh?

[moondregs]

Not here PRESENTLY. With your current luck he’ll show up next week and you’ll get killed. Again.

[kyley_b]

he'd have no reason to kill me!

[moondregs]

I’m not 100% convinced you won’t end up doing stuff with this Strider too. That’s the kind of mess that just attracts you like a pied piper.

[kyley_b]

so what do you think i should do?

[moondregs]

I’m still wary with that troll in the mix. Everyone involved should be on the same page in a situation like this.

But … I get the feeling it would cause you pain to just drop him. So you may as well try it out for awhile.

[kyley_b]

as far as he's concerned dave is still with him back home, it's not like he vanished. and if he shows up here, he'd probably wanna kill john and not me.
altho trolls have very complex relationship structures so i actually doubt it.

i like him. he likes me back.
you think he'll dump me, don't you?

[moondregs]

I don’t know him, so I don’t want to make that kind of assumption.

When it comes to you, I’m very protective. Maybe too much so. I’m going to be worried for awhile no matter what.

[kyley_b]

it's funny you haven't met. you should, he likes movies too.

i don't want you to worry.


i am a little scared.

[moondregs]

Maybe we can get together soon.

Like I said, it’s too late now. You’re already into him.

Bet you wish I’d found that anti-love potion now.

[kyley_b]

that would be nice.

well. then i'll take your advice and just roll with it a while. what's the worst that could happen?

i do not. :P

[moondregs]

I seem to have a vague recollection of someone saying if both of us were into each other we should just be together.

[kyley_b]

so you think i'll be ok?

[moondregs]

I don’t know.

But you also told me ‘it could be great’.

[kyley_b]

i just don't want to be the one left behind again.

but he does like me.

thank you for listening to me whine.

[moondregs]

I’m not going to lie to you and tell you that won’t happen.

But no options are guaranteed pain free in this scenario.

I just want you to be able to be happy, Kyle. It’s all I ever want for you.

[kyley_b]

i appreciate you not lying, even if part of me wishes you would.

do i seem unhappy that often?

[moondregs]

Yes.

[ Not sugarcoating it at all. Junpei can be brutal. ]

[kyley_b]

oh.

i didn't know that.
i'm happy. clearly i need to telegraph that more.

[moondregs]

It's also possible the times you're hurt stick with me so strongly I notice them more.

[kyley_b]

i'm happy when i'm with you, you know.

[moondregs]

Quit it!

[ That's too sweet! His face is getting all warm! ]

[kyley_b]

you are my sunshine
my only sunshine
you make me haaaaappy
when skies are greyyyyyyy
