Keep? Like an object?

...[He scribbles another sticky note down for her to read.] I don't think it's like an object.

...like what, then?

I'm not sure. But I think it's sweeter than an object.

Like... a friendship?

[He goes slightly pink. This girl looks pretty young, after all, and he doesn't know if she'll understand. Plus, he doesn't really want to explain why he doesn't like girls.]

A bit deeper.

Deeper?

[] Like family? Or marriage?

There's no marriage, but that's close enough. He's my boyfriend, I guess.

...it makes you happy?

[Have a nod.]

That's good.

I hope you keep that.

Huh? What? Who? And why?

Berkeley. He's this really amazing guy. I dunno why he wants me, but he does and it makes me happy. [Please ignore the stupid little smile on his face.]

You have a crush on this guy! And he likes you too... Wow. I think you have yourself a boyfriend. [She grins and pats his head.]

[He blushes even harder, staring at his shoes.] I guess so.

Now I have to wonder what I'm doing wrong... Pfft. But whatever, I'm happy for you. I bet he's hot.

[Joey blinks, and looks a little awkward. Finally, he signs a name.] Lacey?

Hm? She's sweet and everything, but she's not really the person I'm into. [She shrugs. She didn't really think Lacey was actually interested in her. She was just giving the woman some kissing lessons. Nothing wrong with that, right?] The person I like... there were some interesting sexcapades to occur in a library and then we introduced ourselves a few days later... So, it's weird. I dunno. People are confusing sometimes.

You have someone you like? Why don't you tell them?

I did tell him. And he likes me back, but I don't think he gets that I actually like him in a romantic sense. Or in an any sense but sexually. I don't know... I'll figure it out. [She shrugs.] So, tell me about your mystery man.

[He frowns, but leaves the topic at that.] What would you like to know?

Anything and everything? Why do you like him?

His name's Berkeley. He's got the prettiest blue eyes, he's a part-time model, and he's Dutch. I dunno exactly why I like him. I like everything about him.

Well, that is sweet. Berkeley? You picked a man with a city for a name. That's... fantastic. I'm proud of you.
