your REACTIONS to my tea choices are cute!

i'm sure i don't know what smirk you're even talking about, sungmin!

no, wait! do you want to talk now? i'm... i'm ok to talk now. about this.

[deathsiren]

I'll make sure to keep tea around.

I'm sure I might have photo evidence.

It's okay! We can wait and just keep going like this.

[hapertas]

thank you! i'm pretty keen on tea. my kettle is my favorite thing.

whaaat? where'd you find something like that, huh?

if it's all right with you. i like what we have, whatever we call it. it's good.

[deathsiren]

I love coffee more than most things in life.

You must not be aware how much you smirk at me.

I like it too. I guess I was just trying to check if this is a just us or something.

[hapertas]

maybe you can woo me over to that side of caffeination.

surely i smile more than i smirk!

oh! oh... like that. i see. do you want that?

[deathsiren]

I should because the coffee I make is so good.

It's nearly 50/50 at this point.

I mean well do you want that?

[hapertas]

am i going to make embarrassing sounds of joy when i drink it?

50/50! wowww.

i'm pretty, um. monogamous. if that's what you mean.

[deathsiren]

Yes and want more.

You even drunk smirked at me.

Okay. Yes. That's all I wanted.

[hapertas]

i guess i'll have a lot of energy!

oh no, did i really do that? i'm suuuuch a lightweight.

oh! you did? i mean, do? so...

[deathsiren]

more than you do already?

You're so cute though.

I mean I'm the same way.

[hapertas]

well... most of the tea i drink is herbal. it doesn't have any caffeine!

oh no. what else did i do???

i sort of thought so. or maybe i just assumed? maybe i hoped so. anyway, i didn't feel really anxious about it.

[deathsiren]

I can make decaf coffee! It's not hard.

You had one and a half beers, Dashy, and were so tipsy.

Usually people say that and are more anxious than they are admitting.

It's only you. You're plenty.

[hapertas]

that might be for the best. maybe...

gee, how embarrassing. did i say anything silly?

i think i trusted that we'd get to this point and talk about it. and it didn't make me nervous.

you too. you're more than enough.

[deathsiren]

I'll get decaf of both and herbal tea!

Let me think here.

I think I like how comfortable but confident you are.

More butterflies.

[hapertas]

i'd like to taste all the delicious drinks you have to offer!

oh, i did, didn't i? i said something silly.

well, you make me feel comfortable. and i like you! why would i be scared of us talking about that?

how many butterflies do you think there are?

[deathsiren]

I'll give you all the tastes you want.

It was cute.

Some are still afraid of it regardless.

It feels like at least a 100.

[hapertas]

you spoil me a little, you know?

i have to think that pretty much anything silly would sound cute to you! would it have sounded cute to anyone else? or would it just be goofy?

i've been afraid in the past. of what people wanted or didn't want or because i didn't know what they wanted. i guess i feel at ease with you!

oh, at least! surely, at least a hundred.

[deathsiren]

you deserve it, you know?

It would have been cute to all!

I understand that. It can also be scary to put yourself out there.

To start with. More are coming in.

[hapertas]

i'm not sure. do i? really?

it's hard to accept that, because i think you might be a little biased, but i'll try!!

that's true. someone might not feel the way you do or they might not understand your feelings...

they never seem to stop, do they? it's like a butterfly parade!

[deathsiren]

of course you do. You're special.

Everyone should accept your cuteness.

Or it's less to them than you.

Butterflies on parade or world tour.

[hapertas]

since you say so, i think i believe it! and you're special too, ok?

i'm pretty sure your vision of me is kind of unique!

that's a painful experience. from what i know.

those butterflies must be racking up a lot of frequent flier miles!

[deathsiren]

You make me feel like I am.

I don't think you see yourself the way others do.

Incredibly painful.

Giving them more space to flap around.

[hapertas]

i think that's my line.

i guess i rely on what people say. some are kinder than others?

it's something you've experienced?

and then they multiply more, don't they?! they're sneaky like that.

[deathsiren]

I mean it, though.

People say mean things to you?

Yes, more than a few times. I guess I get feelings too quickly.

Yes! Followed by a wider smile.

[hapertas]

i know you do. thank you. it's very kind of you.

i've let people say some unkind things and not really stood up for myself.

you're not the only one. but i don't know if 'too quickly' is really... well, how can you measure that? too quickly for one person might not be for the next. i don't think it means something's wrong. especially not with YOU.

dimples!!!
