Steve, there's a point where you need to realize... I don't feel the same way you do about me. I would do anything to keep you safe, yes, but... I mean it differently when I say it.

[Eyebrows raise just slightly]

Huh?

[craaazyisland]

[Pause so long it took two tags to do it, not that GG forgot to put options or anything]

... what do you...

[Further awkward staring]

[Winces, presses a hand to her forehead. No way this is gonna go smooth]

I'm dating Leon, Steve.

[craaazyisland]

[Pause accompanied by a blank stare of shock]

I-

I knew that! [No, he didn't.]

[So red in the face it's hard to tell where his hair stops]

Hah, I mean- it was kind of obvious, right? Who didn't know?

[Indicate that he, for one, didn't]
[Delicately call him on his face-saving bullshit]
[Play along in his face-saving bullshit]
[Hastily suggest you go out for ice cream, oh wait, we were gonna go as a family with Sherry, er...]

[letmelive]

>[Play along in his face-saving bullshit]

[Quietly] So, you understand that I don't love you like that?

[craaazyisland]

Well yeah! Obviously! [Lying, badly, out his ass]

I mean, it's like- seven years and all, it's not- I wouldn't expect-

Makes total sense. Yeah.

[Express relief since you were hoping he wasn't entertaining any of those delusions]
[Break into frantic ego-stroking in an attempt to save his pride]
[Attempt subject change before his head explodes]
[Psychically break fourth wall, remind him it's all good, his mun is a sadistic hurt/comfort fanatic and he's got a ship lined up]

It's not that you're not a great guy, but you're just not the kind of guy for me. I do value your friendship very much, though.

[craaazyisland]

[Arms crossed, focusing very hard on that window-like fixture again, or alternatively, the wall]

I get it! I totally get it, seriously. It's really not a big deal. I didn't mean anything stupid by that, you know?

[Oh Steve, you are a terrible liar]
[Ah ha ha oh yes, silly misunderstanding...]
[Are you feeling angst? Do you need help adjusting? Should I track down a counselor?]
[I'm sorry, Steve. It's just that Leon is cooler than you in every way and also not a twit...]

[letmelive]

>[Ah ha ha oh yes, silly misunderstanding...]

[Weak smile] Of course.

[craaazyisland]

[All too well aware she's humoring him there, he starts inching towards the nearest exit.]

Yeah. So that's. Yeah.I'm gonna go. Crawl in a vent or. An airlock or. Something. For a while. Week or so.

[Wish him luck in this endeavor]
[Damage control, damage control!]
[Offer to get him a beer or something later]
