hey so quick question
how do I explain why I bleed ink to my boyfriend

-yes he's already seen it
-I was cutting up vegetables and scratched a finger
-it'd be great if someone could give advice relatively soon because I don't know how long 'I need to lie down and then I'll talk to you about it' will work, he's still panicking he's just not demanding an answer right this second

thanks for the help

ppl bleed.

pin pricks
paper cuts
scrapes

u gonna have to have this talk a lot.

[thesettingsun]

If that happens around a stranger, I can just leave. I don't have to explain anything. That won't work with Mista.

[me_matey]

just tell him its a genetic thing that makes ur blood a weird color

[thesettingsun]

He's going to look it up, but I can try...

[me_matey]

hes not that paranoid is he?

[thesettingsun]

No. But he wants to take care of me.

[me_matey]

get a cancer screening done or something then idk dude

[thesettingsun]

I'll figure something out that will calm him down.

Thanks for the advice.

[me_matey]

[thesettingsun]

It's okay.

How are you holding up? Sorry I didn't check back in with you after the Thing.

hey txt me

[Private]

[thesettingsun]

[Alright. He switches to messaging her directly.]

How bad is it?

Re: [Private]

[me_matey]

well

she doesnt

share my feelings. for one.

[thesettingsun]

I'm sorry.

[It's never easy to learn that, even if you're still friends. Maybe especially if you're still friends.]

[me_matey]

i mean

its fine

we still friends. we still livin together.

its fine. im fine. it is what it is.

[thesettingsun]

It's okay to not be fine with it. You don't have to be strong for this.

[me_matey]

i have to learn to be fine with it because its not changin

[thesettingsun]

You're allowed at least a little time to be upset and binge on ice cream.

[me_matey]

i cant. im afraid if i start, ill never stop being upset over it

[thesettingsun]

You won't. I promise. You'll even feel better sooner if you let yourself express being upset now.

[me_matey]

or ill do somethin stupid and ruin what we still have

[thesettingsun]

You can't hold it in forever. You just can't.

[me_matey]

well

no i cant and i know that, had a whole time gettin almost frozen to death to get that but

idk what else to do

[thesettingsun]

Hanging out with friends, watching movies, and crying into my ice cream usually works for me.

[me_matey]

but i still come home to her

what i want is for that to not hurt. for it to make me happy like it did before my dumb ass went and fell for her
