TG: so

TG: you know im more than down with still being bros right
EB: oh! uh, are you sure? i mean, it's okay if it's a problem, i don't want to cause problems or anything, hehe.
EB: oh god i'm at this.
TG: no man i mean that was kind of the goddamn point of not saying shit about
TG: it i guess
TG: yknow keeping the righteous bromance and all

EB: rose rose rose!
EB: help!
TT: What seems to be the matter?
EB: it's about dave.
TT: Oh dear, I worried so.
TT: Go on.
EB: well uh.
EB: i guess apparently he's in love with me?
TT: Yes.
EB: you don't seem surprised.
TT: My apologies.
TT: Oh my! Dave Strider has emotional attachments of the romantic persuasion fixated upon your person! What a shocking development!
TT: Shall that suffice?
EB: uh, i guess.
EB: am i the only one who didn't know?
TT: To my knowledge, myself and some friendly bartenders were the only ones he told.
TT: That and Miss Molly, it seems.
EB: why didn't you tell me!
TT: I am sworn to secrecy by an iron-clad contract, excluding when in the best interest of my patient.
TT: Your heterosexuality deems it outside that category.
EB: well uh.
EB: sort of.
TT: Pardon?
EB: well remember that girl i liked in sophomore year?
TT: Dana? Or Nicole?
EB: dana! nicole was college.
TT: Yes, of course. But what praytell is her relevance to our current predicament?
EB: well that was dave? hehe...
TT: I would be lying if I didn't say I suspected as much, but I was at his counsel at the time as well, so I thought it to be my imagination getting away with me.
EB: shit, so it was at the same time?
EB: well i guess he did say fourteen years...
EB: holy! that was before the game even, wasn't it?
TT: Yes, unfortunately.
TT: But regardless, that was sophomore year of high school. Are those feelings still there?
EB: gosh, i don't think so! i mean, maybe a tiny bit?
EB: i love molly so, so much though, so i really don't think so. is that even possible?
TT: Yes, and equal-faceted polyamory is quite common as well, though I don't think that work is the case here.
TT: I believe you are more than likely experiencing a case of the "what-ifs" so-to-speak, as well as pity. Your best friend is very hurt, so you naturally want to do what will fix that, aided by curiosity of what could've been, but wasn't, due to drifted feelings.
EB: so i shouldn't tell him i felt that way?
TT: No, it would only hurt him more, being that Molly is clearly your first priority no matter what used to, or could as a small attachment, be.
TT: And let it be known that keeping up this behavior is not shameful - you and Molly are very much happy and in love, and Dave realized this, thus his lack of interference.
EB: okay...
EB: he was really, really upset though. like he yelled and stormed out, which he's never done before.
EB: and he hasn't said anything since, so i'm a bit worried, i guess.
EB: do you think he's done being friends...?
TT: Most certainly not, but I will have a word with him to be sure.
EB: okay, thanks rose!
TT: Of course.
TT: Now as we were discussing. Why the sexuality secrecy? You certainly aren't homophobic; yet you pressed heterosexuality as your identification so seriously.
EB: well. i don't know, it was only him, y'know?
EB: oh molly needs help with the rest of dinner, gotta split. see ya!
TT: Goodbye.
