@halfregret ! » starter call !
to say something like this --- so sudden & with such weight --- should be casual with michael . & indeed it is ; michael wouldn’t mind if jeremy wanted a ridiculous face tattoo or legally changed his name to luke sky.walker . it’s the saying - it - out - loud aspect that has his stomach lurching .
jeremy cusses under his breath . his avatar perishes in a pixelated pool of blood for the FIFTH TIME that evening . he huffs a sigh & presses pause , plastic controller dangling between his knees . a hand passes through dark curls . ❛ so , uh . . . michael --- y - y’know how , uh . . . ❜ words clog up his throat . he’s picking at the skin of his fingers . spit it out , hee.re . it’s not a big deal . ❛ y’know how RICH said he was , uh , into girls & guys ? ❜ jeremy lifts his head then , eyes lock with those behind lenses . they’re warm & familiar & caring , yet he stammers through it . ❛ i - i - i think that , uh , i might be , too . well , i AM . ❜
