Straight talk

[Ryland Ren]

How about I just don't piss him off?

Sometimes I think it was me. Like maybe he would have said it a lot earlier if I didn't expect so much out of him.

[Alva Ren]

Get Ald to be your meaty shield!

And Ald... I have a hard time seeing him doing anything without being pushed, to be honest.
He's just
Very frustrating to deal with. lol But it doesn't matter in the end I guess, because you guys love each other and both of you have said the words now. :3

[Ryland Ren]

Haha! Every-man-for-himself-Aldon?

But yeah. I feel a lot better now.

What about you though? Have you said anything to Rae? About the curse? And the guy?

[Alva Ren]

So what next? After he breaks up with the other guy I mean.

And no... I don't think telling Rae about the curse is a good idea. :\ You know how he gets. I'm sure I'll feel better soon and we'll just

Forget all about this.

[Ryland Ren]

I mean... we get back together? Or is that too hasty? I don't know what to do right for a long term relationship like yours!

If you think so... But you really need to find out what curse it was and who he was targeting!

[Alva Ren]

I
I'm not sure how we did it either.
I guess... Other people just don't turn our heads. I mean we have problems too but we agreed to just
Be together

Maybe that's what you need. You need a contract of together forever-ness.

I'll find out! Promise! :)

[Ryland Ren]

You guys are a lot better at hiding the problems. I feel like my relationship with Ald is a circus attraction at this point.

Sometimes I wish we could just start all over, without all this nasty history behind us.

And you better!

[Alva Ren]

It doesn't help that one of you is an uncontrollable loudmouth who broadcasts all his problems. >.>

I guess if you didn't have all that history though, the confession wouldn't mean as much.
It'd probably be worse if he kept slinging the words around and didn't mean them!

[Ryland Ren]

I mean the whole confession thing aside. Like maybe I'd be more chill about it all if there wasn't this history. I don't know how to put it into words. Sorry.

[Alva Ren]

I dunno...

You were pretty nutty about him from the get-go as I recall... :P

[Ryland Ren]

...

I

Yeah, I guess you're right. Haha

I guess there are just some things you can't control

[Alva Ren]

It's okay, you know
To feel that way about somebody.

It's just... not okay when you let yourself get hurt so much because of those feelings. :( I hate seeing you miserable, with or without him.

I hope this time, you two work out your differences and really start building a good foundation for your relationship.
One not based on hot cheese
Which, btw, I still think is the stupidest way to get anybody's attention

[Ryland Ren]

Hey! Like you're one to talk? How did you meet Rae again? By rescuing him? >.>

[Alva Ren]

Excuse me Mr. Sassy Cousin, sir

Our romance is the stuff of cheesy gay romance novels, okay?

No book ever started off with one man throwing hot cheese on another man!

[Ryland Ren]

Because the books are wrong!
