Yeah, all things considered - family doesn't need to know shit right now. [Little does he know that while he gossips to his friends, Jean's chatting with Wanda all the same.]

I - Ah. [Why is he always hearing from other people explanations about how he feels that make sense? Why is it through Odin's stupid 20 questions and Magnus's logic that Peter's only beginning to realize these things? I guess I'm confused, since you already love her? Shit. It's not wrong but like...]

I don't want to freak her out. Complimenting her didn't exactly go great and, ah. I don't know. I don't know? I figure she already knows how I felt about her before. Is it super important to bring it up again? [Too many scoops of icecream and that shit is gonna fall sideways, fast.]

[fehus]

Compliments and confessions are different things. I still feel weird when Alex compliments me and we're literally dating.

[...]

You could say you like-like her. But also, you're like thirty?

[quickfingers]

If I fuck this up and disappear and you never hear from me again, thank you for the advice.

[No promises the "like-you like you" thing isn't how it'll go down but y'know, whatever.]

[fehus]

I think you won't fuck it up. I think you care too much about her, to fuck it up.

[quickfingers]

Can I ask you one more embarrassing thing?

[fehus]

You are definitely not giving yourself room to grow with that. But yeah.

[quickfingers]

You don't need to answer it since you only just found out who Barnes is by me blurting it out - thanks for not pointing that out by the way - but it's just kinda like. In retrospect, I'm wondering how stupid I've acted around her in an obvious but not self-aware how obvious it was kinda way.

Or if like, now, I'll just look like a dumb puppy or something. Call me out on it if I do.

[fehus]

[a brief silence]

I mean, all of that was embarrassing, but I'm not sure which part was the question?

[quickfingers]

[Further groaning.] Nevermind, nevermind.

[fehus]

I'm kidding, don't hang up. Um.

I think it's dumb to be too cool for feelings. I think it's nice, when you can tell someone likes you. If it's as friends or family or something romantic.

[quickfingers]

I'll let you know how it goes. However it goes. [If it goes.]

[fehus]

Yeah, okay.

-- I'm really happy for you. You should be, too, alright?

[quickfingers]

[A long pause, bc. Feelings are weird.]

I am. More than I've been in a while.

[fehus]

I'm happy for that, too.

Good luck, dude.
