hey bud
how would you feel about wingmanning me at a gay bar?
um, hey
come again?
is that a no?
no it's a why do you wanna go to a gay bar?
because ... I'm queer?
oh
I didn’t know that
oh
okay
um, sure
I thought you did
know, I mean
nope
I thought you were straight 😅
uh. no.
sorry
why’re you sorry?
for assuming?
oh
and for never asking?
well, why would you ask?
idk it just feels like something best friends should know about each other
maybe, I guess
well, you know now
yeah
I do
and I’m bi, in case you ever need to know for a best friend quiz night or something 😜
I knew that
right
cool
anyway the answer is yes
yeah?
great
I'd be happy to be your wingman
awesome
does Friday work for you?
sure
sounds good
you me and a gay bar
it’s a date
well, not really
but I know what you mean
🙄
anyway
I guess I’ll see you friday
you will
I’ll meet you at 8?
sure
you'll never believe the name of the place I found
oh?
Rhythm Stick
omg 😂
sounds like fun 😉
I hope it will be
I’m sure it will
I'm gonna need to know what your type is
tall is good
like my height? or taller?
yes
okay
is that it?
broad shoulders, good jaw ... nice legs
are all bonuses
yes they are 😏
you're probably gonna pick up super fast and leave me to my own devices, aren't you? 😅
hey, I would never
I wouldn’t blame you
friday's not about me
I promise I won't leave you until you've found someone you're into
you're a great friend, buck
thanks for this
no problem
I’d do anything for you
good to know 😉
uh oh 😅
alright, well I'll see you at work tomorrow
and then Friday we'll go out on the prowl together
yep 👍
it’ll be fun
sure will
see you tomorrow
see you then
*
hey
have you got a minute?
yeah, of course
what’s up?
I have to tell you something
I can’t do friday anymore
oh
well, that’s okay
do you wanna make it another night?
um, no
okay
everything alright?
I thought I could go and support you and everything would be fine
.............
but I can’t do it
you can't ... support me?
I've literally thought of nothing else since you told me
I’m kinda confused
no, I mean, I support you no matter what
okay
but I can't be your wingman
… right. okay
maybe with more time? idk
well, that's fine. If you can't wingman me then you can't
I just don't wanna ruin the experience for you
but I know that if I go with you on friday night, I'm gonna be so fucking jealous of anyone that even looks at you
...................... what?
so I think I should just. not go
I don't wanna make things weird, okay?
and I thought I had a really good handle on my feelings but I guess finding out you're also into men has just thrown me and now my feelings are getting everywhere again
...............................
I really don't know what to say
I’m sorry
you have feelings for me?
yeah, but I promise I won't let them ruin anything
FUCK, are you serious?
just give me a week and I'll have them locked down okay??
please tell me we're gonna be okay
I need a minute to get my head around this
I'm so sorry Eddie
take your time, okay?
okay, just ......
.... just what?
it's just ....... I have spent so long pining over you, and now that I thought I was finally ready to move on, you tell me you've got a thing for me
wait
what?
you've been pining over me?
that is what I said
are you saying you have feelings for me too??
...... yes buck
wow
okay
.... isn't this a good thing?
or do you not wanna be into me?
which I totally get
it’s not that
I just spent so long thinking that we could never happen that I just don't know how to react now
okay, well…
we can happen
if you still want that
… I do
I do want that
you do? wow
so… what happens now?
idk
... why did you never say something before?
Eddie…
I thought you were straight
oh. of course
I had no idea until you asked me to be your wingman at a gay bar
right
and then when I told you I was bi you said you already knew
so I thought you just weren’t into me
that's what I thought
that you weren't into me. because I knew you were bi but you'd never made a move
oh
no
I just didn’t think you were… you know
well, I very am
yeah
you are
so…
so
do you wanna go on a date?
I would love to
you would??
great
um… how’s friday?
… friday would be great
we could go to the bar you found if you want
just… together
not on the prowl
I’d like that
a lot
great
me too
in that case… it IS a date 😉
it definitely is
our first
Eddie um
um?
I’m crazy about you
just so you know
I’m crazy about you too
I have been for years
…. seriously?
years?
of course
well shit
me too 😅
damn
sorry I never said anything
I should’ve just asked
it’s okay
maybe I could've been more direct
at least we figured it out eventually
yeah
we did
I’m really excited
great! me too
I kinda wish it was tonight 😅
hah, yeah. I was actually gonna say, do we have to wait?
no
we don’t
we don’t?
I’m free tonight
I mean, if you are
... I have Christopher
that’s okay
I could just come hang out?
that’d be awesome
if you want to come over
we'd both love to see you
I always wanna come over
I feel like I’m there so often you must get sick of me
not possible
😊
I’ll see you tonight then
great
do you want me to cook?
come over as soon as you like
that’d be great
I can be there in half an hour?
I’d love that
I love you
you do?
yeah
I do
omg
I love you, buck
I’m in love with you, I mean
yeah
yeah, I know
that's what I mean too
🥰
I can barely believe it
might need you to say it to me again when I get there…
I can do that
😊
I’m so glad you’re not gonna go looking for anyone else on friday anymore
honestly, so am I
I was actually sick with jealousy
oh buck. I'm so sorry
hey, not your fault
it kinda is
anyway, I’m feeling much better now 😉
I'm happy to hear that
I’m about to get in the car
good
I’ll see you really soon
oh - before I go
can I call you my boyfriend?
boyfriend, huh?
I’d like that
🥰
alright
on my way
I'm gonna open a bottle of wine
sounds amazing
I love you, Eddie 💝
I love you, Evan 💕
