From:

I was happy. I had gotten him a big gift, and I was glad he liked it that much.

From:

quercusoptima

What sort of thing did he do--?

From:

floorcandy

Kissed me.

From:

quercusoptima

Ah ...

From:

floorcandy

I didn't reciprocate, for the record.

From:

quercusoptima

But did you want to?

From:

floorcandy

Yyyyyes.

From:

quercusoptima

[a small sigh]

Then, that is the problem, isn't it ...

From:

floorcandy

I am okay with continuing to not kiss him.

From:

quercusoptima

[tilting his head, studying him for a moment]

... What do you want, though, Mikage?

From:

floorcandy

I can't date two guys at once, Bishop.

From:

quercusoptima

I'm aware of that. But it's good to step back and decide where you want to be, and where you wish to go from here.

From:

floorcandy

I just don't want either of them to be unhappy. I haven't thought of anything more past that.

From:

quercusoptima

A relationship depends just as much on what you want, though.

From:

floorcandy

I'm happy with my relationship with Shuri as it is, except for the long-distance thing, and I can't have one with Tempest.

From:

quercusoptima

[sitting back a little, with a sigh]

If you are happy with it, then -- really and truly happy with it -- it might be for the better to tell him so seriously, and to let him have a little distance.

From:

floorcandy

Which him?

From:

quercusoptima

The one you don't intend to pursue a relationship with.

From:

floorcandy

Tempest already knows I won't have a relationship with him. He's had to correct teammates who thought we were dating before, and he got mad when he thought they were implying I would cheat.
