Nah, you're pretty opinionated all by yourself.

... you don't sound like you hate it, so.
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...
[or else so many of lili's relationships have to be thrown out with the trash]

Yeah, I know.
[ intellectually, at least, tell that to his stupid heart. but: ]
I dunno. It just feels more... final, to mess up something like that. Broken hearts are a big deal.

[ . . . ]
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.

[ mock sulkily; ]
Hey, I'm plenty tough!

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.

... it'd be nice if we got to pick and choose when we were able to feel things.

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