Don't frame it like that.

Good. And in the meantime, you can have my cabin. I'm considering moving into Bodhi's.

[therushingsky]

Holy shit. That's great-- I mean, I didn't know things were that serious with you two?

[this is the wrong phrasing. He knew things were that serious, he just didn't know that they were officially in a relationship and not just intensely codependent.]

[worstweasley]

It happened recently. He kissed me.

[pause, still digesting how he feels about that]

We discussed our private lives and our issues with intimacy and it was decided we should...make things more official.

[so. uh. he has a boyfriend now??? despite being asexual? what is life]

[therushingsky]

Aw! Hux, that's awesome news. You deserve to be with someone as good for you as he is.

[A pause, then, completely innocently:]

Is this your first relationship? I mean, this kind of relationship?

[worstweasley]

Funnily enough, he doesn't think he deserves me. So maybe that's a poor sign of things to come.

[A small nod]

Yes. Of course.

[therushingsky]

Probably something you want to work on.

[Rhys allows]

But I think-- Knowing that you care about each other is probably the biggest hurdle you could get over, and you guys have cleared it. Everything else-- you'll get there.

I've been trying. He seems perpetually doomed to think less of himself.
