This is August. Leave a message and I'll get back to you. Unless you're a jackass who decided to track down my personal info instead of using the business number, in which case fuck you.
[Okay. Oooooookay. He can do this. He just needs to. Type. Words.
The little ... float there for a while.]
Okay so I think I like a boy. Like, like like a boy. But I don't know what to do about that? I was kinda hoping I could ignore it but I'm just coming across as awkward and weird around him I think.
So is there a way for me to be NOT awkward and weird?
[Excuse August as he takes a moment to yell in the Villareal Family Group Chat about why would someone ask him how to not be awkward and weird around the guy you like?!
Anyway.]
you're not gonna like this answer
but not really. like EVENTUALLY you'll get in under control but like
unfortunately this shit is awkward and weird the first bit for the first few times
[This is what he gets for helping Varian even vaguely understand his bi panic. He's obviously the perfect person to talk to about this. He knows so much. ]
Yeah, you're right I didn't like that answer.
Okay but I need to NOT be awkward because he's gonna figure it out eventually and that's terrifying. Like I'm pretty sure I'm SUPER obvious. Can I find a way to fast-track to a point where I'm not awkward so I don't feel like I want the ground to swallow me up every five minutes?
I get why it's terrifying but also is he the kinda guy who'd be a dick if he found out and didn't like you back? if not, then maybe don't TELL him but like. stress a little less about him finding out?
second thing I promise you are not as obvious as you think you are. ask me how long I've managed to keep my bff from realizing I'm stupid in love with him. answer eight years now
third thing--and this is a thing I tell patrons--but writing shit down and then tearing/burning/destroying the paper helps me when I need to SAY shit but can't actually SAY that shit?
He wouldn't be a jerk about it, I'm pretty sure! He's my best friend. Which is why I'm stressed out because even if he won't be nasty about it, it might freak him out?
That's a long time. And he NEVER figured it out? Honestly, all I need is a couple more weeks because my portal should be working by then and we can focus on...getting people home instead of awkward feelings.
So you write it down and then destroy it? Like writing a letter that you never actually send? That might work.
A portal. A transdimensional portal to be exact. I built one back home too, so I know what I'm doing. I want to give the chance for those of us who were brought into this world against our will a chance to go home.
So you really think a letter might be a good idea?

worth a shot yeah?

I guess so! On both counts. Okay, I'll try to write a letter and maybe that'll make me stop feeling so weird.
