How did you ever get through childhood? Seriously. Don't know Harley Quinn, don't know the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek.

[ There's another long moment before he responds to the second half of that. ]

I know. Doesn't mean I don't wonder if I'm being too selfish.

[drmcsexy]

By playing sports and being cool?

I assume one is about a battle and one is about a hike.

[ He might just be saying that to dick with Alex now though. Maybe. ]

Alex how many people have we lost? How many have we nearly lost?

Being selfish isn't bad, as long as you're respectful of others and their needs. He needs to work with you.

[thenewnormal]

I hate you a little right now.

[ And isn't that such a lie. ]

Logically, I know that. But I've... I've been in the wrong so often. I've been scared so often and pushed when I shouldn't have or didn't push when I should have. I don't always trust that it's the okay kind of selfish.

[drmcsexy]

That's okay. I accept that.

You deserve to not have to live locked away in Sex City. I did that, Alex. I know what it's like. I was the one locked away so I never broke my promises. There were months I only saw him and my therapist.

[thenewnormal]

That's not what I meant, Kyle. If this had been a normal city, I wouldn't have locked myself away. But I also deserve to not get pulled into the city shit with whoever happens to be there at the moment. That's an entirely different conversation than loving more than one person.

[drmcsexy]

So what will you do then? I know the choices I've made but that's for you to decide then, isn't it? For both of you.

[thenewnormal]

What else can I do? Be there when he gets back. Even when he thinks I’m going to up and leave the first chance I get.

[drmcsexy]

And what are you going to do for you?

[thenewnormal]

...I don't know.

[drmcsexy]

Maybe that's what you need to figure out.

[thenewnormal]

Maybe.

Probably.
