Do you know if he's gay? Are you gonna tell him you like him?

[nocollarbones]

Yes I know he likes guys

and...

Yeah I was thinking I might tell him? I have a plan...sort of.

[hairsprayed]

Ok good. What's your plan? Please tell me it's not the same as your plan for me and Eddie.

[nocollarbones]

Nope.

We're going to go see a double feature at the drive in.

They're playing the Lord of the Rings movies and we're gonna set up a tent and my radio and watch them. Just us and a bunch of snacks.

[hairsprayed]

Hey that's pretty cute, and if it's awkward you can focus on the movie. You gonna kiss him if he's into it?

[nocollarbones]

I mean
That's the plan yeah...

[hairsprayed]

Do I need to talk to you about protection?

[nocollarbones]

NO!

GOD NO!

JESUS FUCK NO!

[hairsprayed]

DON'T YELL AT ME! It's important ok and not just with chicks.

[nocollarbones]

Steve I appreciate you
But
It is way too weird to have you trying to give me the safe sex talk
Almost as bad as if it were Eddie
Wait
No
It's worse.

[hairsprayed]

What happened to me being the cool older brother?

[nocollarbones]

I mean you ARE
it's still...
I don't know.

[ Look Steve it's nothing to do with you and completely to do with the fact he is an awkward teen and he honestly hadn't even been thinking that far ahead with Will. ]

BESIDES
There's a chance that will never happen
AND
Even if it does it's so far from now

[hairsprayed]

Ok that's fair, it's important that both of you are ready and into it. Just... promise you'll ask if you need something and don't want to talk to your mom about it.

[nocollarbones]

Yes Steve
I promise if I have any questions about having gay sex I will come straight to you
.....
....
Thanks for being here.

[hairsprayed]

It's not just about the sex but yeah. You're welcome.

Thanks for trying to set me up with someone important to you.

[nocollarbones]

Yeah
I mean
You're both important to me and you both being happy is important to me.

[hairsprayed]

Ok ok enough being a cute little shit.

[nocollarbones]

Not cute.
But whatever.
I'll text Eddie and see what he says and then let you know.

[hairsprayed]

You can deny it but you can't hide it.

Wait he didn't even say yes to this yet?!

[nocollarbones]

Dude
He didn't even want me to tell you who he was until I knew you'd be okay with a guy being into you
Besides I have to tell him you're plan

[hairsprayed]

Just because he's interested doesn't mean he wants to go on a whole date! I thought that was his idea to ask me out.

[nocollarbones]

He didn't know if you'd try to kick his ass if he asked you out!

Doesn't matter no taksies-backsies!

You both need it and it's gonna be great!

So just shut up and TRUST me!

[hairsprayed]

Do I really seem like the kind of asshole that would beat someone up for being gay?

Don't answer that. Actually do but think about me now instead of me from a few years ago.

I trust you! I trust you to be honest about whether or not he agreed to a date if I also agreed to a date and you're not going to have us hanging out awkwardly in a car and then at a carnival when he only wants to... do not dating things.

[nocollarbones]

No you don't.

But you're also so far from his normal friends and he doesn't know you like I do.

Maybe it was less being afraid of being beat up and more afraid of losing the friend he has.

ALSO OF COURSE I WOULDN'T DO THAT!! Come on Steve! Why would I do that to either of you? I want you both HAPPY not pining and miserable.

[hairsprayed]

I've never tried dating someone who was a friend first so this is weird for me too.

You would totally do that if you thought it was a good idea to force two people together! But we're not pining or miserable. I'M not. Is he miserable??
