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

Re: Day 23?, ???

[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.

Re: Day 23?, ???

[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.

Re: Day 23?, ???

[floorcandy]

Which him?

Re: Day 23?, ???

[quercusoptima]

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

Re: Day 23?, ???

[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.

Re: Day 23?, ???

[quercusoptima]

[nodding slowly]

But sometimes, knowing that and still wanting it can be difficult.

Re: Day 23?, ???

[floorcandy]

It is difficult for him.

...I'll talk to him next time he's over.

Re: Day 23?, ???

[quercusoptima]

Which him?

Re: Day 23?, ???

[floorcandy]

... both hims. I should clarify to Tempest that nothing will happen, and Shuri should know if I have feelings for another person besides him.

Re: Day 23?, ???

[quercusoptima]

Mm. It's not an ideal situation, but -- I think the best thing you could do is be straightforward and honest.

Re: Day 23?, ???

[floorcandy]

Right.

[a bit wryly now, but not without affection]

I have to admit, I think the overeating problem would have been easier to advise on.

Re: Day 23?, ???

[floorcandy]

Maybe I will binge-eat my woes away.

Re: Day 23?, ???

[quercusoptima]

Blueberry pie will never demand your affections above apple.

Re: Day 23?, ???

[floorcandy]

Blueberry is too good to me.

Re: Day 23?, ???

[quercusoptima]

I'm sure blackberry will also comfort you.

Re: Day 23?, ???

[floorcandy]

Will raspberry go with blackberry?

Re: Day 23?, ???

[quercusoptima]

I'm sure it could be arranged.

Re: Day 23?, ???

[floorcandy]

[laughs a little, tension easing]

Re: Day 23?, ???

[quercusoptima]

[smiling at that]

You're a sensible fellow. I've got faith in you.

Re: Day 23?, ???

[floorcandy]

Thanks.
