kid fears

See?

Oh, like the Michelin stars. Send someone undercover to hug and then rate the hugs. Maybe we can get Michelin behind it too; the Michelin man is super huggable-looking.

That sounds quite complex, but I can see the vision.

That's very true. Playing music with the person you love is always special. [User thinks of Harley.] Cherish it.

It is absolutely something I cherish. Perhaps one of the things I love most about us. I appreciate you listening to me be all If we have kids, I

Yeah, I do. Right now, he's the best thing in my life. But that's like, classic honeymoon phase, right? Everyone says those feelings don't last.

I mean, the big one is obviously his injury. He's still having a really bad time with it.

This weekend, I told him some news that I thought he'd want to know, even if it sucks, but he freaked out. Like, ran out of the room, hid under his desk. I had no idea how to help him. I think he needs a therapist. But they don't really have the kind he would need

Why am I the positive side of things one here, Eve? What if they do last? They can last. Clearly they last in some cases or all those silly stories wouldn't be what they are. Besides, I think my moms are pretty in love, never left the "honeymoon" phase, or they extended it to a lifetime of love.

[user hates that this is her life now. user does not hate the fae for wanting her to pay, but jesus, the fear of not knowing is definitely something else... user wonders if this is what it was like for them. user knows that answer is yes.]

[pm] It could be; if you want it to be. Wow, babe, you'd move things around just for me? I haven't been okay in over twenty years. Why start now?

​[pm] I like having you under me.

As it happens, you are marginally more interesting than staring at a tent wall.

[...] [......] Do you plan on never being okay then?

I'm so flattered. I've always aspired to be marginally more interesting than a wall. I'm also hotter than a wall ever could be.

[...] Why do you care?

Punk is a very good and enjoyable genre. I venture most towards classic rock, though my taste is rather varied. The piano is lovely! Do you and Mateo play together?

Classic rock is classic for a reason, right? :-) We do play together sometimes! That is how we first connected. So it will always remain dear to me.

[user thinks about this] Thank you, babe. The not simple answer still eludes me, for the most part. Which is weird. Like I've done this my whole life it's kinda embarrassing to not know where you

Yayy! How does tomorrow feel? Speaking of dates I think I found Would you wanna come with me to

That's okay. Sometimes that happens, and that makes sense.

Tomorrow works for me.

Sorry he's kinda naked in this pic.

I dunno, just seems like something you need to get reviews on. A hug ranking, or something. Like Yelp, but for hugs.

It's okay. I think bears are usually technically naked, by human standards.

What sort of way would you curate reviews for the hugs?

[user tenses up. user thinks of all the ways going out for any social event with a stranger could go wrong. user thinks about all the stares she's gotten from people lately, and she has to assume they're fae. user thinks about the phobid. about the wurgen. user cannot in good conscience say yes to something with someone she does not know. user does not want to die in a bar bathroom. user does not want to die, period. user is considering becoming a hermit, it's beginning to sound easier.]

I can make time whenever you'd like it -- or I'm willing to -- but I understand. I know how work can take over your life.

I'm sure you're putting in more accidental effort than you realize. Hence, well, the whole 'accidental' part of it. Do you smile when you think about him, even when he's not there and also when he is there?
