Yeah, we have. It was one of the first things we discussed.

[ And well he'll leave it at that. ]

No, they've just known each other for a while. So she was trying to stay friends with him. But ultimately she made the decision that our relationship was more important to her than trying to stay friends with a guy who had no respect for her while they dated.

Uh huh. Aaaand?

Oh wow, nice! Good for her, I can understand staying friends with an ex if things ended mutually and you're both respectful to one another. But to stay friends with someone who was an asshole? Yeah, that's not good.

And what? We have an understanding.

[ He is so not going there. ]

Pretty much. I'm just glad that this won't be an obstacle between us.

Does that mean you haven't had sex yet? Come on, I'm not asking for graphic details! You're allowed to gush a little bit.

Oh absolutely. It sounds like she really likes you.

I don't want to gush about that though. Look she and I have had fun with each other, but we haven't done everything.

I don't have any doubts about her feelings toward me. This is as real as it gets.

I meant you can gush about things in general. You're talking to a horrible romantic here, you can go on about her eyes or her laugh if you want. I think that stuff is the best stuff.
I'm just curious about the sex stuff because I'm a 25 year old guy and one of my best friends is finally with someone who he wants to get touched by. You can't blame me for being excited for you and totally curious.

That's so awesome.

I get it. I know you're happy for me, buddy. But some things I'm just not ready to share. You're talking to someone who hasn't had a relationship since I was in my fifty something year old body. So this is really a new situation for me.

She's special. I've been in this weird sort of flux where I've wondered what the hell I am going to do with my life. Since I've lived an entire lifetime already. For the first time, I feel like I got a direction to go.

All right, I'll lay off. But know that if you ever DO want to talk about things or gush about the smell of her hair, I'm totally down to hear it.

Ooooooooof. My heart! Five, you're kind of really romantic you know that?

I'll keep that in mind. Lord knows Klaus only ever wants the dirty details and I really don't like discussing that. It makes me feel like I am betraying her by sharing details of our private moments together.

Well it has been a while since I've had someone inspire me toward these kinds of feelings.

Hahah yeah Klaus seems to be the type to want graphic details. I got it now though, I won't ask about private moments.
Does this make you the only Umbrella Academy guy to have a girlfriend right now?

Which makes it even more adorable.

God, he really has no filter at times. Thanks, I appreciate it. Technically? Luther and Diego both have some complicated relationships that they are dealing with. And well Klaus is more into men than women, but he doesn't seem to be interested in more than flings right now.

Oh god, is that what it comes too? Being called adorable? I went shopping with her a few weeks ago, before we decided to become a couple. The cashier called us adorable because she thought we were siblings shopping together. Back then I just shrugged it off, even though I didn't like it. But now that things have changed, I'm not sure how I will react if we get mistaken for siblings again.

It's okay, my roommate doesn't have a filter either so I totally understand. Huhn so you're the only one in a healthy happy relationship at the moment. That's....probably going to be interesting for them to learn about.

I mean it in the BEST way.
Also please note me not asking if this was underwear shopping or not.....
I guess it's better to be mistaken for siblings rather than mother and son? That would be extra weird.....You might just have to ignore it or make a private joke about it or something. I mean unless she doesn't like going out in public....?

Well Klaus already knows. I've sworn him to secrecy until I can talk to our siblings altogether. Hopefully he keeps his trap shut, but who knows.

Dude it was just shopping. It's not like we were running around Victoria's Secret or Fredricks of Hollywood or whatever other underwear stores exist. Oh god, I did mention that whole mother and son thing because that happens when I am out with Allison or Vanya. But they are older.

Unfortunately that lead to her casually telling me how folks in high school slut shamed her and told her she'd be pregnant by fifteen. Some times she is too laid back about people disrespecting her and I hate it. If anyone said shit like that to Allison and Vanya in my presence they would be dead.

I'm sure he will for you. He loves you a lot and I'm sure he could tell you like this girl.

Heh. Maybe now she'll take you with her to those stores though....
Yeah you've mentioned that it happened with you and Allison once or twice. I mean, maybe it won't happen too often with your girlfriend. Unless you guys look a lot alike?

Oh...owch. What the fuck? Who does that?!

Klaus some times has a way of letting things slip. It's related to the filter thing.

I'd rather be surprised. Besides it would just be too awkward and I wouldn't be happy to get confused for her brother again. We don't necessarily look alike, but Allison and I don't look alike either and I still get mistaken for her kid.

Right? It's just so fucked up. I can't even imagine calling a woman a slut and I've dealt with some really cruel fucking bitches in my time. But god, that's a line I don't even think to cross.

Ah yeah. Well I'm sure he'll keep it a secret for as long as he can.

Hrmm yeah, people can be so dumb. You're probably right that having her surprise you with it would be better anyways.

It's just so awful because that word can do so much damage, I'm really sorry to hear that she's heard it so often.

He better.

I do like a little bit of mystery and intrigue. It keeps things from becoming routine.

I really hate that she's heard it as much as she has. Even when we were just friends, she's always been a sweet person. So I don't know why she gets so much vitriol directed at her. It doesn't make sense to me.

How do you plan on telling the rest of your family? Just gonna sit them down and go "so I've got a girlfriend now so deal with it?"

Ah haaaaa. Yup. Totally agree. ;)

I dunno man, people can be awful. Especially to girls, which is extra shitty.

We're going to be gathering to finalize our birthday plans. I'm going to tell them about her then, because I want her to be my plus one for our birthday dinner.

Oh stop, you. =p Hopefully you find someone too. That way you'll be too busy to wonder what I'm up too.

Yeah you got a point there. But I swear I won't put up with her being treated that way in my presence.

Oh wow, that's really special sounding. I'm sure she will really love that she'll be your plus one.

Heheheee. Sorry I can't help it. This is the first time I ever get to semi tease you about this kind of stuff.

Oh for sure.

Well it definitely wouldn't feel right to me if she wasn't there.

What is the appeal to teasing about it though? It's not like I ever said I was monk or something. I honestly thought I wouldn't connect with anyone on this sort of level. Especially with the age gaps that goes two ways with my body and mind not matching up. It's still surreal to me that a connection happened and she's not telepathic.

Are there any of your siblings that you are worried about her getting along with?

The appeal is because it's so awesome to see you get excited about something like this. I know you're not a monk but you almost never talk about women you find attractive. Also you can't tell me that if the tables were turned and I suddenly started dating someone you wouldn't want to tease me from time to time about stuff.

Speaking of the age gaps, does she usually date guys who are older than her?

It's hard to say. They all can be assholes and that's the main thing that worries me. That one of them will say something hurtful to her and not even realize it.

Not really? You've been pretty sappy without having anyone in your life. Besides teasing you over trying to escape a disaster date is funnier than teasing you over being with someone you are really into.

I don't really know. All of them sounded they were generally around her age maybe a couple years older. I don't think she's ever been with anyone as old...or as young as me. =| I hate this two way gap so much.

Even your sisters can be assholes?

Yeah I know, I'm a big sap. My roommate makes fun of me for it constantly. You might get another chance to tease me about bad dates, I've got another one coming up this weekend.

Somehow I don't think she's ever been with anyone like you, but maybe that's a good thing. It might make things complicated but it does make you one of a kind?

Oh definitely. Don't let them fool you. I've seen them both say shitty things. Hell Vanya's said some pretty shitty things to me directly, when she was mad at me.

Well maybe you'll get lucky and this one will be able to have a conversation with you, without being creepy toward you.

No, she hasn't but some times it just feels frustrating to me.
