Morning Buck
morning!
I've been thinking a lot about this, and I reckon it's time we told Christopher about us
what do you reckon?
umm
too soon?
I think he knows we're friends? 😅
🙄
obviously he knows that
I think it's time he knew the rest of it, too
what else is there to tell him?
you know
that we’re dating
I think it's time to tell him
we’re what??
… dating?
omg since when???
you know, like we have been for weeks now
wtf
what do you mean, since when???
uhhhhh
I didn't know we were dating....
......... you WHAT?
HOW could you not know???
wait so you're not straight??
what? of course not!
I thought you were straight
um, NOPE
never have been
wow
well that's good news
cause I’m really into you
weren't all the kisses I gave you a bit of a giveaway???
😅
Buck, you're unbelievable
I thought they were just friendly kisses??
idk
friendly kisses. I see
and what about the fact that we go out for meals at least once a week now?
you know
on DATES?
NO OMG WHAT
we hang out all the time 😭
and then you come back to mine and SHARE MY BED?
and we SPOON?
Did none of this clue you in??
AS FRIENDS I THOUGHT
😂
😭
Friends who spoon. Okay then
omg I feel like such an idiot
yeah, I bet
What about when I play with your hair, or squeeze your arms, or hold your hand while we're watching movies?
did NONE of that make you think "gee, Eddie must be super into me"?
no I just thought physical touch was your love language!
Well, it is
FRIEND love language!!!!
omg
yeah, not so much
I can’t believe it
believe it
you’re into me
um, yep
we've been dating for weeks??
fuck
that's why I kiss you and let you sleep in my bed and spoon you, yes
.......
wait a minute
what is it?
so I've been regularly sharing a bed for weeks with someone I could've actually made a move on?
um, YES
fml
so many missed opportunities 😭
😅
this is hilarious, tbh
I SWEAR I thought you were STRAIGHT
unfathomable
omg
okay
how many straight guy friends are you letting spoon you, hm?
only the ones I'm in love with
😳
wait
it’s zero actually
because yOU'RE NOT STRAIGHT
I’m not
... are you really in love with me?
oh
um
…. yeah
yeah. wow.
Buck, I'm in love with you
shut up
are you serious?
always
🥺
I was afraid it was too soon to say it
omg I wanna kiss you so hard
you can kiss me hard
I’d like that
I wanna taste your tongue
you can
wow
amazing
so
we're still dating, I'm guessing?
YES
definitely
great
omg 😭
so before you distract me with tongue talk
should we tell Chris?
Maddie is never gonna let me live this down
yeah, we can tell Chris if you want
that would be awesome
NOBODY is gonna let you live it down, Buck
💀
we were dating for 6 weeks and you had no idea 😅
no eddie you don't understand
understand what?
I've been whining to maddie this whole time about how hard it is to be around you lately
oh
hard, huh?
so hard
you have no idea
because of all the kisses and touches and bed sharing?
exactly!
well, idk about you, but hard is kinda the outcome I wanted
oh, is it? 😏
I will admit, I wondered why you hadn't made a move yet
mhm
I've wanted to make a move this whole time
YOU CAN
do it
I want you to
make a move on me, buck
I will, then
what are you doing right now?
waiting for you
😍
on my way over
Excellent
omg
I can't wait to see you
and touch you
have you touch me
I can't wait to put my mouth all over you…
🤤
I want your mouth everywhere
I really hope I'm not dreaming
you definitely aren’t
good
so, when do you wanna tell Chris?
tonight, if you're happy with that
sure
you can stay
and we'll tell him together
sounds great
I mean, I think he suspects anyway
you're practically living here atm
wouldn't that be something, if he figured out we're dating before you did? 😆
I think the word you're looking for is mortifying
😂
we'll laugh about it, I promise
I'm already laughing
I'm glad you're amused
I'm gonna need at least another 24 hours I think 😅
take all the time you need, Buck
you know
I thought Maddie was being really rude when I told her about how I was sleeping in your bed a lot lately and her response was just laughter
😂
I can't believe that didn't give away to you that I'm not straight
at least now I know she wasn't being intentionally mean…
😩
I thought you just didn't wanna be alone!
I can cuddle Christopher if I want company
well, you're welcome to still cuddle me
oh, I intend to
but if I'm allowed... I'm definitely gonna be kissing you and touching you more…
YOU'RE ALLOWED
are you sure? 😜
Oh yeah
I've loved the way things are between us, but I definitely want more
if you're ready for that
from your point of view we've been dating, what? half an hour?? 😂
I'm definitely ready
I've been in love with you for years
........... years?
and honestly if you'd propositioned me when we first met I probably would've said yes
........... really?
wow
yeah…
wish I'd know that a lot earlier
😅
you know now
hey, Eddie?
yeah, buck?
how did we start dating?
I mean, you never asked me out or anything........ did you??
well, for you it was when I told you this morning 😜
🙄
for me, it was when we went to that Italian restaurant and the server spilled the wine and got our orders mixed up, but then we walked through the park afterwards, and the moon was nearly full and we stopped to watch it while leaning against that jasmine covered hedge
and you looked at me with moonlight in your eyes, that perfume so strong around us, and I kissed your cheek
I remember that
I thought I was gonna die from how in love with you I felt
you put your arm around me as we walked back to the car, and I thought ... we're doing this. we're dating.
I didn't think I needed to ask if we were on the same page. I thought we were both feeling it. I was so sure.
I can't tell you now what I was thinking
I don’t remember
all I do remember is wishing it would never end... and wishing so fucking hard that you weren't straight 😅
well, I’m not
and you know that now
that's what counts
I'm so happy rn I feel like I could burst
Good. I want you to always be happy
Eddie
I love you
... that's the first time you've ever said that to me 🥰
it won’t be the last
I promise
are you ready to hear it in person?
I really am
and hey
I love you too, Buck
🥰
do you want me to let myself in, or should I wait for you to come open the door?
I don't care, just get in here and kiss me
yes sir
here I come
🥰🧡
