huh i never thought about the serial fuckups. and im gonna remind you you said that the next time you give me shit about keeping food past the expiration date. but maybe theres a better way to be doing relationships or so many people wouldn't be unhappy and maybe its cuz everybodys told there's one default
[Translation: if everyone just backed off and minded their own business things would be a lot nicer for everyone, with an extra dash of bitterness from the girl who can't seem to avoid having expected sexuality foisted off on her despite doing her damndest to remove external markers.]
or maybe i could have a relationship with somebody else like me? idk its not a priority really but i like not being alone [Which is the closest she'll come to touching on that zap of betrayal here. She just...has to keep a tight lid on that right now, has to not think about what it could mean down the line if Will likes Hannibal back and--
--and he theoretically likes boys. THERE.]
that's a pretty big thing to start thinking about, of course you're surprised! but Hannibal i don't think you've ever been any kind of "default" so it doesn't surprise me. it just means you've got more options, which is good because so far you've been pretty picky about finding interesting people! if you took out a whole gender youd be shooting yourself in the foot.
[The fact that he's NOT textwalling at her about her last point means it's really made an impact. Neph hunches over her phone on the bus seat, breathing light and shallow.]
well...you can't do anything about who other people are attracted to. and you can't MAKE someone like you back. but maybe they're not het, maybe they just haven't thought about it yet like you hadn't until now. so talk to them about it?
...he wouldn't even wear a CHEAP one, though, it'd probably turn his skin green or something
