Straight talk

[Alva Ren]

I think if he wanted to take advantage of me, he could have when I was unconscious.
He was really gentle and kind, Ry. I just don't think that kind of person would do creepy things.

Anyway, I won't go to his house alone or anything. I'll see him at the library and ask him, how's that? If he is a creep, he can't do anything in a public place!

[Ryland Ren]

Okay... just
keep me posted. :/

And be careful.

[Alva Ren]

I will! On both fronts!    Us Rens aren't dummies, you know!

Hear anything from Ald yet?

[Ryland Ren]

We do!

And no. :( I hope he's not having sex with him.

[Alva Ren]

Oh, come on now! Aldon's crazy about you!
He said the L word!!

[Ryland Ren]

Yeah, that's true.

(still in disbelief)

I mean I always knew but it's nice to finally hear it. <3

[Alva Ren]

I bet it is! It's a special moment~

The first time Rae said it, I almost laughed, I was so shocked.

...actually I did kinda snort a little bit... in his face. 

[Ryland Ren]

You laughed in his face? I bet he didn't take that well!

Wait, he said it first?

[Alva Ren]

Yeah... It was super embarrassing...

And yeah, he did say it first! Crazy right?! I didn't even say it back until like 2 weeks later
I had to be sure. >.> But now thinking back on it, it seems kinda cruel doesn't it?

[Ryland Ren]

I'm surprised he didn't get pissed off and dump you right then.

...he's really different when it's just you guys, isn't he?

PS, I guess it could be kinda cruel... I mean... It killed me every time Aldon wouldn't say it back. :/

[Alva Ren]

He's a sweet puppy when we're together.

(Says that out loud to Rae too. "You're a sweet puppy."  )

You and Rae totally have that in common now! You've both been wronged by the people you love!!

[Ryland Ren]

("Why?" he asks, suddenly suspicious)

It's so weird to imagine. But sometimes he does seem like a try hard with the tough guy act. 

At least you set it right and Aldon set it right! Do you think Aldon wasn't sure either? It feels like a long time to not be sure.

[Alva Ren]

(Alva just looks smug, like the smug-ass Ren he is, cause it probably runs all up in the family.)

Haha! Don't let Rae hear you say that he's a try-hard!!

("You're a try-hard Rae.")

I think Aldon was sure. I think he knew he loved you all along.
But he's
He's not really good at expressing himself in words. I think he does better with actions.

[Ryland Ren]

("Who're you even talking to?")

I wouldn't say it to his face. I value my body too much.

You think so? I've been starting to think the same thing. Maybe I demanded too much from him too fast. I don't know. It's hard to stamp down the feelings though.

[Alva Ren]

("...nobody...")

Rae's a dirty fighter too apparently. :\ so watch your jewels

I think at the beginning maybe... But after a few years? That's all on Ald!
