why would you ask me that

[delincuente]

no reason at all

[thebarkside]

we are not
we are definitely, definitely not
but why would you even think that??

[delincuente]

inquiring minds want to know?
im a naturally curious young lady okay

[thebarkside]

why
we dont seem like were dating, do we?
and you havent asked him, have you??

[delincuente]

no ofc im not gonna ask him
and i haven't even been around you two
just wondered since
same world and stuff
you know
nothing big

[thebarkside]

ok, sorry
seriously, sorry, its just kind of a weird touchy subject

[delincuente]

[She wants to ask why. She really wants to ask why. But she doesn't know what this girl might do to her if she pushes.]

yeah no im not trying to like
stick my nose in your life
or his
just was thinking

nvm

[thebarkside]

[ jade feels weird, leaving the conversation like this -- and she also doesn't want to just blurt out the fact that they dated to alex, considering how he tended to pretty much just avoid that topic 150% of the time, so... ]

no, really, its okay
hes my best friend in the whole world
and i used to have a really huge thing for him
and it just didnt work out
so its a little weird sometimes to talk about i guess

i was just surprised

[delincuente]

oh

yeah
that's awkward

[Alex isn't one for embarrassment, but she can feel her cheeks turning red with something akin to it. And she still hasn't found out what she wants to know.]

so like
if someone else was interested
you wouldn't be homicidal or something
asking for a friend

[thebarkside]

like
interested in him
romantically

[delincuente]

sure yeah
someone could call it that
like hypothetically

[thebarkside]

oh my god
um


i would advise this hypothetical friend of yours to not waste her time

[delincuente]

huh really
im guessing this is the touchy part that
im hypothetically not supposed to ask about

[thebarkside]

i mean
its mostly
ugh
can you promise to keep it between us?
and that you wont bring any of this up to him?

[delincuente]

yeah totes
girl code and all that

[thebarkside]

he and i dated for a year
and then he broke up with me because hes honestly still got a lot of stuff to work out with himself
and then he spent the next literal year avoiding me
actually he avoided me AND john
which was quite a feat because it was pretty much just me and john and davesprite there if you dont count johns nanna or the silly consorts or the catsprite
it sucked a whole lot
but then finally in asgard i got him to start talking to me
and he and i were really good friends again and we did a lot of cool stuff
but then i guess i made some joke about us being exes that set him off???
which made him start completely avoiding me again and totally pretending i didnt exist
it sucked extra hard because he was definitely my closest friend when that happened and i didnt know how to fix it

i promise its not some weird jealous ex-girlfriend thing
i mean maybe i would be a little jealous because i think thats totally normal??
but i wouldnt be bitter or angry or anything
im just scared that you guys might get hurt
i feel like i ended up losing him because i decided i wanted to date him
but i guess you guys dont really have the history that we did
so maybe it would work better for you
i dont know :(
i think i just talked a lot more than i meant to im sorry

2/2

[thebarkside]

seriously please dont tell him i said any of that PLEASE it would be so bad

[delincuente]

[She tries to read the message objectively - but it turns out she doesn't have to try. She knows from what little stuff she's heard from him that they come from a pretty messed up place, so she can understand him having to work things out. Not that that excuses ignoring someone. So it sounds like he's kind of a flighty asshole, which isn't a life-altering personality flaw.

But woah, wait-]

hey dude who ever said it was me

but for the record
it really sucks that that happened
and im sorry he was a feathery asshole
guys are basically the worst

i'm not trying to like settle down with him
and pop out two and a half kids
it's no big deal like srsly
just wanted to make sure i wasn't like
being a total bitch trying to hit on him

and by that i mean
my hypothetical friend

[thebarkside]

ugh i am honestly really incredibly embarrassed about this right now
the short answer and the only one that should matter to you is that no, davesprite and i are not dating, and he really deserves to be happy
and you are completely within your right to hit on him to your hearts content
its honestly none of my business and its not okay for me to make my baggage his

[delincuente]

woah hey
don't be embarrassed
like if either of us should be it's me
just busted in here trying to be all chill and suave
wind up bringing up all this crap

[thebarkside]

its okay
it was sweet of you to ask

[delincuente]

huh
no one's ever called me sweet before

and i'd kind of like to keep it that way
don't tell anyone i tried to be courteous
i have a reputation to maintain
