“NO ARIE Y IS Y”

Hey Adult Math!

What? My name is Kid Math?

….

Hey, what’s that?

What? Where?

*Books it across town while he isn’t looking.*

He is in civilian form and introduces her to Becky since she’s his big sister.

Becky happily shaking her hand and asking a million questions because she’s excited.

“Oh but you don’t have to answer any of them if they make you uncomfortable!”, said Becky.

“It’s okay! We met one day at the candy store. He was counting how many sunbursts were in each jar.”, she said.

“And she told me she could figure it out faster!”, he said.

“I turned the jars up side down and read the label.”, she said.

They all laughed and Becky invited them over for juice and muffins.

“Then I got gum all over my homework, it was horrible!”, Kid’s girlfriend said.

“What did you do after that?”, asked Becky.

“I begged my teacher to give me another copy and extra time.”, she said.

“And did they?”, Becky asked.

“Yes actually.”, she smiled.

Kid Math watched as his two favorite girls talked and got up from his seat to put the plates a way.

“You don’t have to do that.”, said Becky.

“I insist! I am your guest after all.”, he said.

“I love how responsible he is!”, his girlfriend said.

“Hey, I’m sorry if this is rude but I have to make sure you aren’t a bad idea. I trust him and I want to trust you, but I don’t know you. So… can I ask….”, said Becky.

“I don’t mind!”, she said.

“What do you know about being aromatic and asexual?”, asked Becky.

“Aromatic is when you don’t feel romantic emotions. Asexual is when you don’t feel well you know, those emotions.”, she defined.

“Are there things you wish he does that others do?”, asked Becky.

“No, I’m satisfied with holding hands and the occasional hug.”, she said.

“Have you ever did something that made him feel uncomfortable?”, Becky asked.

“He would tell me if I have, so far he has said nothing, I encourage that he does.”, she said.

“Hm….be honest, are you happy with being in an intellectual relationship with minimal contact?”, asked Becky.

“I promise you, I am very happy with him. I can be myself with him and he’s plenty affectionate with his words and small gestures.”, she said.

Becky studied her for a moment before speaking again.

“I will trust you, however I hope you understand that if your relationship isn’t up to healthy standards- I will separate you two even if he hates me for it.”, Becky said.

“I doubt we will break up, but if we do- I would prefer for it to be mutual and without bad feelings.”, she swore.

“I hope so as well.”, Becky shook her hand.

Kid Math came back with more muffins and juice.

Wordgirl: *pretends to look for Kid Math*

Kid Math: *Worried about how Wordgirl hasn’t found him yet* Oh no, what if she never finds me? She’ll be looking forever! I can’t live with that kind of guilt.
