The romance in stopping before you hurt something you don't want to hurt. I'll take that as a no, but that's likely better.

[freezerburned]

i dont think scott would have fought me anyway

[hollowchild]

No, Scott is too good for that.

[freezerburned]

i dont know what youre implying but i can agree with that i guess

[hollowchild]

I was being literal. He's a good person.

[freezerburned]

yeah

hey can i ask you something? not really advice or anything just... your thoughts

[hollowchild]

You may always do that.

[freezerburned]

just pretend were talking about hypotheticals

but if you like two people who are obviously in love with one another and then they both sort of admit attraction to you as well

...does stuff like that actually work out? outside of playboy i mean

[hollowchild]

I think that there are no guarantees to anything, ever, but that's a very poor reason not to try.

People that are important like that aren't found around every corner. It's rare enough to find one, right? Two is maybe a little extraordinary. When you find something that could make you happy, then you don't let it slip away. It would be a bit ridiculous to call me anything like an expert, but it seems shortsighted to say there's only one right way to have a relationship.

I told my brother, once, that were he to find some love that was his, was real, that he should hold fast and never let it go. Because it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, not really. You find your havens where you can.

Which is not to say that such a thing would be easy. But then, it might be. In any case, I think it's better to know what is than wonder what could have been.

[freezerburned]

well- i mean i wouldn't say 'love' but yeah.

i guess you have a point.

[hollowchild]

I would not say it either, Manfred's case was somewhat different. But the principle stands. We've spoken before about happiness.

[freezerburned]

have we?

ill see what they say. i guess the worst is that allison will still be weird about scott and probably hate me or something

[hollowchild]

We have. It's all the same principle. If you have a chance for something you may not have again, take it.

I don't think anyone is going to hate you for liking them, Isaac, whether or not they return the feeling.

[freezerburned]

well. she might be mad about the scott thing.

i guess thats sort of what im worried about

[hollowchild]

I think she is in a rather unique position to understand why you like Scott. And it's not as though you only like Scott.

Her being mad isn't out of the question. But she doesn't exactly have claim to him anymore, and you said they'd both expressed interest in you before.

[freezerburned]

hah. i mean. we all kissed but that was... i dont know

everything is kind of confusing right now

[hollowchild]

It has been my experience that talking remedies that better than silence.

[freezerburned]

yeah yeah i know happiness makes the world go round

its just really awkward okay

[hollowchild]

Not happiness. Communication.

I promise I know. But the corresponding anecdote is rather embarrassing.

[freezerburned]

the corresponding anecdote?

[hollowchild]

Would involve perhaps an overabundance of information about my love life.

[freezerburned]

aaand you dont think im curious as hell because?

[hollowchild]

[that startles a laugh out of her, not that he can hear it.]

Why Isaac, I never knew.

Connor and I have had quite a number of awkward conversations on topics such as getting him to touch me in the first place, fertility, and explaining to people we were moving in together. Meeting his father was also rather awkward. And then some funny ones, like the checklist.

[freezerburned]

um

i thought you were talking about cutesy love stuff

uh that sounds like something that i might not need to know about you actually

at least not while you still have a boyfriend

[hollowchild]

[there's a pause of a minute or two while she finishes laughing and processes that last statement.]

I am not very cutesy, you may have noticed. He's much better at all that than I am, in truth.

And your love life may currently be complex enough without additional help from me.
