So you are still feeling Something. You just don't know where it's coming from.

And that says that you know exactly where it's coming from, you just don't want to admit it.

Ask yourself, does it even matter? We're never going home so whatever we feel here is as real as it's ever going to get for us. Are you that afraid to let it be real?

[ ..... ]

[She wasn't wrong...]

A lots happened to him
I dont want to push him
Even if what im feeling is real
WHICH IM NOT SAYING IT IS

[inkedspell]

[He's totally saying it is.]

Seems like he's been trying to push you and you haven't been responding.

You can't push someone by pulling on the door they've been trying to push open. You're just getting them where they want to be faster.

[tempredmental]

Sometimes it feels more like hes pushing me away

[inkedspell]

Maybe he thinks you want that. Since you haven't been doing anything about the very obvious signals he's been dropping.

[tempredmental]

How is pushing me away making it obvious he likes me
Thats just more confusing

[inkedspell]

He's pushing you away because it hurts too much to keep you close, since he thinks you don't want what he wants.

Which you obviously do, so how about you try holding his hand next time he tries to push you and see how that goes.

[tempredmental]

[Keith stared at the message for a second.]

Hes not actually pushing me
It was a figure of speech

[KEITH, PLEASE.]

[inkedspell]

And you clearly don't know what an extended metaphor is except a means for you to ignore my point.

[tempredmental]

[Blink blink.

Oh.

Oops.]

So
You werent being literal

[inkedspell]

About the hand-holding? Yeah. Hold his hand, cuddle up, give him a kiss, whatever.

Stop bullshitting and make a decision. If you want it to be real, then make it real.

[tempredmental]

[There was a looooooong pause before Keith responded.]

I have to think about it

[Because, sure... maybe it was that simple. But Keith also knew that there was also a lot of trauma there that Lance was dealing with, and he also knew that some of that trauma had to do with him in the Nightmare. Things had happened. He didn't know all the details, but the last thing he wanted to do was blow up their friendship at the same time.]

[inkedspell]

You do that.

Just remember he's been waiting a lot longer than you have, sounds like, and don't spend too long doing it.

[tempredmental]

[Keith sighed.]

Yeah



Thanks

[Maybe...]

[inkedspell]

You're welcome.

Don't be afraid to make the next text intentional. If you need someone to give you another friendly kick in the ass.

[tempredmental]

[Heh...]

Right
Ill keep it in mind
