I would love los dos but I don't want to be greedy

[deblayer]

I do.

[








...wait for it.]

Grantaire says he loves me.

Be greedy, I am a generous soul. Who has been stalking the above thread for days.

[questionablewit]

And?

gasp??

[deblayer]

And I don't know what to call that.

It's a good thread! Anders will be slower btw. Also Hawke is so pleased about this conversation.

[questionablewit]

You call it Grantaire loves you.

If you mean what do you call the thing you have with Grantaire, that's more tricky.

they're good boys. or, well, they're ridiculous boys we love.

[deblayer]

I'll ask someone else.

[Or, you know, he'll come back to her in half an hour once he realizes that sarcasm is preferable to the nonsense yelling of most of his other friends.]

Yep.

[questionablewit]

I was serious, you haven't given me much to work with yet. Plus it's all subjective. Different people can use the same words to mean different things. You must have come across that before, with all the writing you do.

and Hawke is a saint for putting up with them

[deblayer]

[Well. This is going to be a long "..." bubble of typing.]

We've been sleeping in the same bed for a long time now. He's been working on his sobriety from approximately the same amount of time. We've been living together properly for slightly less time than that.

I have cared about him uniquely and distinctly for slightly less time than we have been living together. And last night he told me he loves me.

And I don't have a word for what we're working on.

Possibly, though she'd argue that point.

[questionablewit]

You're working on a relationship. That wasn't sarcasm, and I know that you want a better word. But I'm not sure there is one.

Does it matter what you call it? As in do you need a word to use for other people as a description, or so that you have a name for it?

oh no?? not an argument??

[deblayer]

Of course it matters. If there isn't a word, then it isn't clear where it might go.

I don't want to imply that it will go somewhere it won't.

Or for it to hurt him when it doesn't go right.

Yes, however would they manage that.

[questionablewit]

You don't want a name, you want a direction. But feelings don't work like that. You and Grantaire can come up with a name for what you're aiming for--though you'd much better work that out with him, not me--but it's still no guarantee it will, or that neither of you will get hurt.

What's he calling it?

greatest fears, clearly

[deblayer]

He's not calling it anything. He says we don't need a word yet.

I want to figure out a word.

Not to be thought of.

[questionablewit]

Well, what do you want from it? In the short term and the long term.

[deblayer]

Short term, I want to understand why it's different.

Long term, I want to test the theory that this is a good thing.

Honestly, it's like leading a child through logic.

[questionablewit]

What do you have now that you didn't before, that you value having?

let him live

[deblayer]

Him.

Bring him home? ;)

[questionablewit]

In what way do you have him that you didn't before?

r u d e <3

[deblayer]

I don't know how to explain it.

It's like something's open, now.

You set it up ;)

[questionablewit]

That's very sweet, you know?

If not helpful to the problem at hand, I realize.

knocking it down is the whole thing <333

[deblayer]

Is it?

[questionablewit]

Yes.

Though I don't recommend calling what you have an open relationship. That's something else.

[deblayer]

Are you sure that wouldn't be better?

[questionablewit]

It's not up to me. But I doubt it's what he wants.

[deblayer]

Because he loves me?

[questionablewit]

Because he can't make himself want anyone but you. God knows he tried.

[deblayer]

[Give him a second to just... sit with that half-uncomfortable knowledge.]

He might change his mind, now we're actually here.
