no plans, why?
what're you thinking?

I was wondering
if you'd like to do something with me. like, something. ... special.

......................
you’re gonna say no
fuck, I’m sorry
clearly I got my wires crossed
hang on, okay?

..................
I just thought I was doing a better job of hiding how I felt
oh
you were trying to hide it?
yeah
I just….
I don't think it would be a good idea
........... right
well, forget I said anything then
I’m sorry
I just love how things are right now, you know?
you're my best friend
you don't have to explain, buck
kinda feel like I do
I'm just always messing things up and I care about you too much to risk doing that with us
I see
are we okay?
of course
we could still hang out tonight if you want?
oh
um, maybe not tonight after all
right
sure
it's not that I don't want to see you, I just
…
not tonight. I'm kinda embarrassed
embarrassed?
yeah
you don't need to be embarrassed
easier said than done 😅
I’m really sorry
this is exactly why I was tryna hide how I felt tbh
