It’s definitely a good thing.

That sounds like exactly what we need.

[She could have said almost anything at all and as long as it would mean he gets more time with her, he would have agreed.]

[so_many_pockets]

I think I have yet to hear you say anything about me that was not a good thing.

Need and want. Accuracy is very important.

[justavoid]

I have not personally experienced any bad things about you.
So there.

Okay, fair. It is both.

[so_many_pockets]

Yes, you did. My terrible advice in the vault.

I'm glad we agree.

[justavoid]

Okay...but we've learned and grown as people since then.

[She's still the best, nothing is gonna change his mind.]

Me too.

[so_many_pockets]

I still think it counts, but I don't disagree that we have learned and grown.

[justavoid]

Even if it does.
That's still just 1 thing.

You're a net positive in my life, Yelena.

...

Okay. I'll stop arguing. [Only partially because reading that has entirely overridden her ability to think in clear sentences.] You're a net positive in my life, too, милый.

[He can't lie to her, okay?!]

But I want to hear it from you.

[What he really wants to know is how she means it, but he's not brave enough to actually say so.]

[so_many_pockets]

What did he say?

Okay. Fair enough. It's a pet name, literally translated it means cute.

[justavoid]

He said it's a petname, like dear or sweetie.

[Texts he doesn't send:

Welcome to the circus of chat dots, Yelena. The back and forth of typing and deleting is STRONG with this one.]

I like it.

[justavoid]

Good to know.

What? No.
I mean, yes, I'm sure. No, there wasn't a speech.

[Don't call him out for second-guessing 75% of everything he texts, Yelena!]

[so_many_pockets]

Okay. I wouldn't be offended or anything if you told me you did not like it, just for - well, also the record, I suppose. It would be okay.

[justavoid]

No, I swear.
I really do like it.
It’s sweet.

[so_many_pockets]

Okay. If you change your mind, that will still be true. And if you like the idea of a pet name but not that specific one, there are others.
