It's exactly as dumb as it sounds.

Alright. Just let me know when you're ready. And thank you for telling me.

[wroughtandtempered]

you're my friend
thank you for being there

I didn't really want to tell anyone
to be honest
but I've been worrying people by trying not to make them worry if that makes sense
so I'm trying to not do that even if it sucks

[abnormalizes]

It DOES suck, but also apparently your friends worrying about you when something bad happens to you is like, a normal part of friendship that you can't opt out of? Fucked up.

[wroughtandtempered]

yeah that's about what the friend who scolded me about it said
so if you're both saying it it must be true

it's kind of nice though
even if I've cried like five times
and part of me is having fucking panic attacks over it

[ a beat ]

wait
wait shit that's probably part of the mindfuck

I'm going to fucking bite something holy shit

[abnormalizes]

Might be. [Eve usually seems a little more confident in the knowledge that people like her, even if she still doesn't really like asking for help.] If it makes you feel better any, you can think of it as me repaying you for giving me a distraction before when I felt like crap?

[wroughtandtempered]

[ rolls that around in her head a bit... ]

it might make me feel better but also fuck that
I don't really want to think about having done that for repayment
I'll suck it up

[abnormalizes]

Fair enough. In that case, I like you and I want you to be happy, or at least happier.

[wroughtandtempered]

[ turns out it is in fact easier to accept that sentiment if she tries to think of the little knee-jerk squirm of discomfort in response as something maybe not-her. not easy, but she will take improvement. ]

thanks
you too

[abnormalizes]

Any time.

Message me when you want me to come over, I'll keep my schedule clear.
