TG: again sup egbert
EB: Are you, maybe
EB: Doing anything today?
TG: you askin me out on a date
TG: didnt think you rolled that way
EB: No! I mean, unless you want it to be a date?
You most definitely did not get butterflies in your stomach when he asked that. Striders don't get no damn butterflies.
TG: the most ironic of dates
EB: How ironic?
TG: the most ironic
TG: you know me bro
EB: Yeah irony irony irony
EB: Irony, apple Juice, rap and being cool is all you care about Dave! :B
TG: hey man so not true
TG: there is a certain bucktooth dork i care about
TG: but that dork is so oblivious he wouldnt know unless i wrote in big red sharpie on his face "dave strider loves this dork"
TG: but i doubt even then the dork would notice
God damn how is he so oblivious.
EB: Dave
TG: john
EB: Is it
EB: Me?
Oh god maybe he isn't as oblivious as he seems.
TG: now why would you think that
EB: Dave
EB: I am the only bucktooth dorky "he" you know
TG: i know jake dont i
EB: So you like my cousin?
TG: no i was just proving a point
TG: striders dont impede on other striders men
TG: i wouldnt do that to poor dirk
TG: dont tell him i called him poor dirk though
TG: hell kick my ass
EB: So it is me?
EB: Dave?
TG: ah shit cats outta the bag now
TG: yes john i like you
TG: feel free to reject me now
TG: john
TG: john?
You swallow and try not to think the worst and hyperventilate. No way is Dave fuckin strider gonna hyperventilate. Nope, not gonna happen. You do, however mentally argue with yourself that you may have just lost your best friend by scaring him away with your confession. You swallow again and breathe a sigh of relief when your laptop pings and his blue text pops up.
EB: Sorry Dave.
EB: You shocked me that's all.
TG: striders tend to do that
EB: Hehe yeah...
EB: Um, don't take this the wrong way
EB: But
EB: Are you serious?
He doesn't believe you. Or he doesn't want to. Or he wants to, but is afraid you're joking and doesn't want to make a fool of himself. You hope the last one. But with your luck, it's one of the first two. You contemplate saying yeah it was just a joke egbert calm down, but that would be lying, and you can't lie to him. You've kept it from him long enough. You just hope he doesn't outright hate you. You steel your courage and type a simple reply and wait anxiously for his reply.
TG: dead serious
EB: Oh.
Shit shit shit shit shit.
EB: I... I don't know what to say Dave.
TG: dont need to say nothin
TG: i get it bro
TG: you dont like me that way
TG: it's cool
That was such a lie and you know it. What happened to not lying to him? You are such an idiot.
EB: No!
EB: It's not that I don't like you that way.
EB: It's... that I think I do?
Hope flares in your chest as you read his message. You try to remain calm as you reply to him.
TG: you do
EB: Yeah I think I do Dave
TG: does this mean I can take you up on that date offer
EB: I guess?
EB: Yeah it does :B
TG: cool
TG: so where you takin me on our first date egbert

TG: cliché
TG: awesome
