He's definitely going to have to tell me.

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.

[whatam_i]

Really? You're not out to hurt me?

[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.

[farcry]

[ the rawness of that question pangs in his chest. this is why this is so hard. ]

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.

[whatam_i]

Oh.

[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.

[farcry]

Fair? What's this have to do with fair?

[whatam_i]

I just mean it makes sense that at first you were trying to find a way to get to me.

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

[farcry]

Yeah. I figured.
That's what we're supposed to be doing to each other.
Trying to find ways to get to each other.

We're 'supposed' to do a lot of things.

Doesn't mean we have to though.
