[ Called the fuck out. ]

what r u talking about
me and nick arent dating

[perfectible]

And you don't want to be?

[bragnificent]

well I dont date guys

[ ... ]

did nick say sumthing to u

[perfectible]

We talked about it at the carnival.


[ so you know... truth serum. so it's not his fault. ]

[bragnificent]

[ He's typing for a while, dots appearing for ages and then disappearing for almost just as long, but then when he's done the only thing he sends is: ]

crap

[perfectible]

Why 'crap'?

[bragnificent]

I just didnt know he was gonna tell u
or anyone

[perfectible]

He didn't really have a choice. Truth serum food and all.

I won't say anything to anyone.

[bragnificent]

[ And to think he isn't even assuming she's referring to the l-word part of things yet. ]

ok
thanks

I mean I know a lot of ppl do it w/ there doms but I'm still kinda

and its just sex anyway
I dont need to date anyone
plus I think thats against his religion or sumthing

[perfectible]

[ that's becoming clear to her and she's not about to call him out. or throw nick under the bus.]

You may not "need" to but that doesn't mean you can't want to date someone, Reggie. Or have feelings, if you do. There isn't anything wrong with that.

Yeah, he mentioned that. Very bluntly.

[bragnificent]

idk
u rly dont think its kind of like, pointless?
trying to date here?
like be honest

[perfectible]

Why would being with someone who makes you happy be pointless?

[bragnificent]

u can be with someone who makes u happy without dating them
& its even easier when they dont want to date u
living with archie I'm assuming u'd know all about that already

[perfectible]

I know that. I'm not ten years old and believe in fairytales.
I'm sorry if he said that to you.

What does that mean?

[bragnificent]

he didnt
we havent even talked about dating
and we're not gonna talk about it

idk what do u think it means?

[perfectible]

Alright. [ he's getting defensive and she's not really into being lashed out at. ]

I'm asking you what you mean by that, Reggie.

[bragnificent]

[ He is lashing out; Reggie comes this close to typing out and sending "can't you read" but then at least decides against that. ]

I'm saying what makes ur situation with archie any different from my arrangement with nick

[perfectible]

[ they'd almost made progress! ]

Because I don't have feelings for Archie. Not like that.

[bragnificent]

[ BABY STEPS... ]

and I dont have

[ Also: oh. ]

wait
thats what he told u?

[perfectible]

He said he couldn't date you because of his religion.

But let's forget I even mentioned it. I don't really know why you're so defensive and you're acting like a jerk.

[bragnificent]

oh come on
when do I not act like a jerk
I didnt rly hurt ur feelings did I

[perfectible]

[ this is what she gets for trying to be a friend to him or something close to it. ]

Let's just drop it, Reggie.

[bragnificent]

[ Why is he still so bad at this... ]

fine.
great
works for me
its a moot point anyway so theres nothing to even talk about

[perfectible]

Right, okay.

[ THE WORST. ]

[bragnificent]

[ SORRY BETTY it's all still... a work-in-progress, okay. ]

right
ttyl then.
