It's more about the expectations of everyone I usually talk to. Maybe that's a part of what it is with you too. Doesn't feel like you're expecting anything from me. It's easy.

It was a mistletoe kiss.
[ does he skirt around the question? absolutely, yes. ]
That seems strange considering some of the things he's been up to.
So you talk to me because it's easy and enjoyable?
Did you kiss anyone else that night under the mistletoe?
[The answer will probably be yes, Dick is an attractive man and probably had a line of women who wanted to steal a holiday kiss from him, but a tiny steadfast romantic part of Ed hopes the answer is no.]

thank you for moving <3
Are you worried he's going to judge you for speaking to a rogue?
Does everyone you normally speak to judge you so much?
[another long pause.]
Do you often kiss your friends?
[Don't forget that mistletoe kiss Dick because he certainly hasn't.]
you're welcomeee

aw thank youuu~
That's definitely part of it, yeah.
No. I left shortly after I kissed you, actually. What did that kiss mean to you?

I feel similar.
[His heart clenches uncomfortably and it's a long time before he sends a reply but when he does it's an honest one.]
I don't know

I figured.
[ it's a pause too before Dick response again. ]
Ed, just know that I'm not out to hurt you in this way. If you want me to be honest, I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to you. I have no idea.

[It's an almost painfully innocent question but he can't help it, he's been hurt bad in the past.]
Thank you for being honest.

Maybe I was at first. I thought this could be a way to get to you, but the more I thought about it, the worst it felt.
no subject
[A part of him knew that but it still hurts a little to read it, but really, why else would someone like Dick suddenly be somewhat flirty with him?]
I suppose that's fair.

I was trying to find a way to get you as well when we first started texting.

That's what we're supposed to be doing to each other.
