Chapter Text
A/N: I'm totally not writing this in my computer ethics class while listening to the lecture (sarcasm). Don't worry, I'm still paying attention to it.
You're all hanging out at Molly's. Stella asks you "So do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?" You hesitate to answer. "Well.. I have been seeing someone.." You say briefly. "Ooh tell us about him/her!" Violet says excitedly. You fidget with the rim of your glass. Ritter notices how quiet I'm being. "You don't have to answer, you know," he says.
You sit there and hesitate, before finally saying, "She's/He's really nice, and cute." You say it quietly. Everyone kind of goes silent for a second. Processing.
"Well, what's her/his name?" Violet asks. "Yeah, tell us about her/his," Stella says. Ritter just smiles at me. "Her/his name's [insert name], we met when I was taking my cat/dog to the vet," you say, smiling.
Later on, you're sitting alone, drinking. Ritter walks over. "If you're not comfortable, that's fine, but there's a parade coming up, and if you want to come," he says. Your eyes kind of light up. "Yeah, but I don't have any flags," you say. "They give them out there. So?" he asks. "Oh, yeah, I'll totally go!" You say excitedly.
