Yo Rich, you up?

[mrsklover]

If you mean 'awake' then yep. If you mean 'vertical' then nope.

[ziedrich_bearer]

Cool. Need some advice.

[mrsklover]

And you're coming to me?

Wow. This is a first.

[ziedrich_bearer]

Dude, thought we made it clear that in some things you've got more experience.

That guy you liked. You ever come out to him?

[mrsklover]

Yeah, when he was here I did. He died before I could back in my universe but we had a good chat about it here.

[ziedrich_bearer]

Was it worth it? To at least... tell him that you weren't what he might expect?

[mrsklover]

Yes.

Yes, it was worth it. It was so fucking worth it.

[ziedrich_bearer]

Back home, this is the month someone would do it. I think. If months line up. We got this whole thing and I never took part back home because I couldn't be open about this stuff.

[mrsklover]

...Gay Pride month?

[ziedrich_bearer]

It's Pride Month, not 'gay' pride month. That would exclude so many other sexualities and gender identities.

[mrsklover]

Yes, yes. I am properly educated now.

So getting back to the point: you want to celebrate Pride Month by coming out?

[ziedrich_bearer]

Dude, you're fucking weird sometimes.

I don't know. I'm... I'm thinking about it.

[mrsklover]

Okay. So I am thinking that something must have happened. Otherwise why are you suddenly thinking about doing this when before there was "no point".

Did it?

[ziedrich_bearer]

No. I just... I've been thinking.

[mrsklover]

About?

[ziedrich_bearer]

Him.

[mrsklover]

Okay.

But just a little while ago that was the reason you were determined to not say anything ever. Either something changed or you're thinking something new.

C'mon. You messaged me for a reason so just tell me what's up.

[ziedrich_bearer]

He keeps asking me about a lie I told the others. About a girlfriend.

[mrsklover]

Dude, you made up a girlfriend? Is she from Canada?

Jesus. Okay. So he's asking about Ms Notreal. And that has you wanting to tell him that you're into dudes?

[ziedrich_bearer]

I made up her being more serious than a fling.

What's Canada. And it's more how he talks about I might go home to her.

[mrsklover]

Look. I have a question and I need you to answer it honestly:

Are you going to be telling him because you want him to know about you or because you want to lead up to telling him how you feel?

[ziedrich_bearer]

I'm not telling him how I feel. It's not my place.

[mrsklover]

Who's place is it, then?

[ziedrich_bearer]

Lunafreya's. She's the one he loves. Or, I guess my sister would be ballsy enough to try.
