[she's just going to roll her eyes]
That's cowardice, you know?
You should tell me what you mean, and I'll let you know if you're being stupid or not.

Anyway, you still haven't explained yourself.

[ he sighs out in defeat ]
Yeah, I know.
[ why can't she just forget it? wow. he just. waves a hand vaguely ]
I'm kinda... I dunno that I've even got a handle on being a good friend, never mind holding down an actual

.... even normal relationships aren't perfect, you know? Even if you were to just stay friends, you could just as likely hurt her.
But just because people get hurt, that doesn't mean that the entire bond you have between each other is bad...

Yeah, I know.
[ intellectually, at least, tell that to his stupid heart. but: ]

[ . . . ]
You really are soft...
It's not as though I'm advocating to treat people carelessly, but broken hearts can mend too. People can be a lot stronger than they think.

Maybe you're tough in other situations.
[compromise]
... but even if she has, I'm sure she can handle this. It's just the beginnings of romance, not life or death.

[ a beat ]
I wouldn't say that. Even if the timing's all wrong, it's always better to feel things.
