Candy really wasn’t one to give relationship advice, mostly because the ones she had been on hadn’t turned out that great – but she knew that what she was saying was right. Link did deserve someone better to date, so it wouldn’t do the other any good to mope around some guy that was back in France. “I mean, he was sexy, sure… But you know, you’re sexier and you totally deserve someone who won’t do you so dirty!” Candy admitted with a smile, before taking another spoonful of ice cream and put the spoon in her mouth, as she looked over at Link with a small sigh as he scrolled through his old texts with his ex-boyfriend.
Shaking her head and taking the phone away from Link, Candy let out a groan as she looked at her friend. “I know, I feel the exact same way… Although I’ve been having fun with a lot of guys lately. And girls too.” Candy said with a small nod, as she placed Link’s phone by her side so the other couldn’t reach it. “Have you tried Tinder? Or Grindr? Because that usually works for people… Because I find it hard to believe that you’ll meet the love of your life out of nowhere, right?” Candy asked, trying to find a solution for Link – although she wasn’t sure if he was looking for a relationship, it was obvious that Link needed to get over his ex-boyfriend. “Oh, you know what? We can totally go to a gay bar so you can get laid! That sounds like fun, right?”
With a deep exhale, Link tried to think of all the bad things about being in a relationship. He wasn’t having sex as often, he didn’t have as much time to work on his movies, he had to compromise & watch movies that weren’t a part of his collection...it was honestly a lowkey nightmare. But it also felt really nice to be someone’s boyfriend, especially when Link had convinced himself for the longest time that he was not a romance type of guy. Ugh, men were a plague on his life. “Yeah, I know I am. I was so obviously the eye candy of the relationship,” he said, confident in the things he was saying. Pierre was hot, but Pierre also only wore boring clothes and refused to let Link pay for him to get acrylics. Link should’ve known they were doomed.
Link let out a pitiful whine as Candy took his phone away from him, letting his head flop against the back of the couch. “Well, lucky you,” he mumbled, mouthful of ice cream. “I’m on Grindr, but everyone is such an uggo it’s unreal. Who would’ve thought it’d be easier to meet a half decent gay in Ohio than New York City.” Well, it wasn’t 100% true, most of the guys Link had matched with had just left him on read when he brought up any of his personal interests. There weren’t as many New York based horror fanatics as he thought there would be. At the mention of a gay bar, Link’s eyes lit up. “Actually, yeah, that could be totally great. They love me at the gay bars, I’m so fun and then I get to watch people try and guess if I’m a feminine man or a girl with a weird bone structure!” It would be a good send-off before heading back to Lima for the wedding.
