[oh gods. he wants to delete this text and pretend this conversation didn't happen. he wants to throw his phone into the bushes. he's lived long enough to see himself become the villain]
[okay, no. he has to be braver about this. he can trust Archie; he just also needs to be respectful]
i wasn't trying to get in your business or anything, but i've just like. seen some stuff on the network? and it seemed like
sorry. we can stop talking about it, if you're uncomfortable. that's the last thing i want.
Cool. Not like, deeply embarrassing or anything, having your canoodling aggressively denied in public, while you're both literally preparing for more canoodling.
""""canoodling""""]
its probably not like the same
[In other news, Archie is really very dumb about this stuff and always super willing to believe nobody loves him everybody hates him, guess he'll go eat worms? Amazing]
but if u want to talk about stuff im not gonna judge u mag u know that right
ok. me too, i guess, obviously. which i wasn't thinking a lot about and now think a shit ton about because i have a boyfriend sometimes? so.
[it's almost like communication is bad if communication is bad or something]
[and speaking of boyfriends...]
is that what reggie is?
[he knows you make out a lot at parties, and flirt with everything that moves, but -- Reggie aggressively denying they were a Thing, while Archie didn't seem so convinced, is something he's been thinking about for a while now. Reggie certainly seemed... irritatingly testosterone-driven enough to want to deny something like a relationship with a dude]
[Turns out that dealing with the idea that he might like guys was a lot easier than dealing with the idea that a guy he liked didn't actually Want To Be With Him? Archie..... doesn't have a lot of experience with rejection, it turns out... Perceived rejection, in any case.]
i mean he doesn't want that
[Oh shit, he meant to like, never admit that to anyone, and yet,,,]
[It seems he has shamefully deceived Magnus into thinking he's not a terrible fuck-up... but also, while he wasn't fishing for compliments, they feel super nice and he's just going to lay here staring at his phone a minute? Thanks,]
what do u mean u are
[He was still dating Alex wasn't he... even if it was Secretly]
reggie's doing the same thing to you i was doing to alex by not wanting to be open. not getting his shit straight and making you feel unwanted or like something he's embarrassed of. like i said: we're alike, me and mantle, b/c we're stupid.
i don't think he has a clue what he's doing with you. if your conversations are anything like what they were on the network.
