>>Week 5; Wednesday night; sleepover; Poland

[symbologic]

[Did Poland even do whatever vague method of pairing up determination they're using? He's pretty sure she didn't but okay, here they are. Literally in the closet.]

[What up, Poland? Are you actually going to smooch the elf after all?]

.......................

[It's really not that hard of a question but apparently he's struggling with an answer here.]

...because.

[Faize, did you really just go there.]

1/2

[sobowtor]

Because...?

[Poland is waiting for the end of a sentence that doesn't seem to be coming. Which is weird because-- ooh. ooh.]

[sobowtor]

You...

Really, really like her?

[She's trying to be more mature about this now.]

[symbologic]

I...don't know. [He clutches at the front of his shirt.] I've never...felt like this before.

[He got it bad. This is actually really kind of sad.]

[sobowtor]

Aw~! [That's cute. This is really cute.]

Oh my god Faize-- why do you look so distraught? Liking girls is the best!

[It's one of her favorite things to like.]

[symbologic]

Based on my experiences thusfar, I have to disagree. [...] ...for the most part.

[It's so illogical and sometimes he kind of wants to rip his own heart out just so things will start making sense again, but...it's also kind of nice? Feelings are hard.]

[sobowtor]

Focus on the latter bit. That's the good part.

[symbologic]

[Sigh.]

...right, of course. Though that is proving to be easier said than done. Most of the time, I feel as though I am losing my mind.

[Not a good thing for someone who has lived his whole life on the logical and narrow.]

[sobowtor]

Ooh. You got it baaaad~

Listen. Love isn't always logical or makes sense all the time. But when it goes right it's really good, so like. Don't be overly scared of it.

Just take it at your pace! [But not too slow because you two could be dead Friday morning just saying.]

[symbologic]

[He does. He has it so bad because Faize has absolutely no chill when it comes to romantic feelings. Fall hard, or don't fall at all seems to be his school of thought. Jump in feet first and then flail while you drown.]

...somehow, such knowledge only makes the prospect more horrifying. [NOT LOGICAL? Say it ain't so!] How can any species thrive with such a powerfully irrational force driving their actions? Nice though it may feel at times, it's simply astonishing that humankind has lasted as long as it has, on any planet, without destroying itself.
