[ She's excitedly typing out an acceptance of his offer...but then she frowns. There's something building in her chest, a familiar feeling of wrongness. Of sneaking behind people's backs, being selfish, ignoring how her actions might affect relationships...
Slowly, she sighs, then clears out everything she'd typed. Boundaries, she reminds herself. ]
the god of technology is trying to bake??? wow 😜
but to be serious.....
i'd rather you talked to ava about this first. if she's fine with it, then i'll come over at times that work for the both of you
[ Right. Ava. Because talking about things is why they work so well. And sometimes Tech still gets swept up in the things he wants to do without thinking of the consequences -- how she might be uncomfortable with Monika's presence in his life again. Granted, he doesn't think Ava would ever try to control him to a point of telling him who he could and couldn't hang out with -- but it might start to breed an insecurity in her and he doesn't want that. ]
yeah. you're right. i know you're right.
i'll ask her.
and i mean, who knows. maybe there's a chance you and her could get along in the end.
i mean if you're interested in that....
i don't wanna force you into something uncomfortable
[ Speaking of uncomfortable partners.... ]
i *am* making an effort with kaiba, btw.
it's not easy, but i guess forgiveness never is....
[ He says she's right, but part of her still secretly wished he'd be the bad guy and tell her eff the rules, come over anyway! Then at least she wouldn't have to feel as guilty. But. Again. Growth and all that. ]
yeah, maybe we could
[ Which is about all she's going to say about getting along with Ava. ]
and it's nice to hear you're trying with kaiba....
[ Should she type this? She shouldn't type this. She-- ]
if i had working on his system with you to look forward to again, life would be perfect
[ --typed it. Crap. Talk about forcing someone into something uncomfortable! ]
lol sorry, i shouldn't joke about that!!! i know you're probably going someplace else after this, which you should
sooo yeah! if you wanna see me, you know where i am now. just text me if you're stopping by 💕💕
[ Because it's time to do what she does best: run like the wind. ]
