[ hup. well, at least he's not beating around the bush about it. like she is. like she has been, rather. ]
if I am, it's not intentional or anything. well okay, maybe it's a little bit intentional. guess I just thought some space would be a good idea. was I wrong?
You don't have to explain. We were both pretty worked up.
[and his fingers move over the keys without typing anything for a moment as Kirk considers how honest he's going to be, here. it had never been his strong point, particularly with women.]
I can't be in a relationship right now.
[is what he finally compromises with, and really, that's a big admission. Kirk normally has no problem with his heart breaking reputation.]
no, you won't hurt me. I mean, I'm not sure I'm even looking for a relationship.
I can't really explain what goes on in my head with I'm with you. it's not [ blahblahnlah what is she trying to say ] like I'm sitting around wanting more than what's already there, I just get impulsive and ridiculous. ..more than usual. [ unlike Jim, Raven's waaaay to used to being too honest ]
I mean, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about kissing you before that night, it's not that I'm not interested, but your friendship is more important to me than that stuff. so really it's... whatever. no big deal! don't worry about it.
[and he twists his mouth. it's, weird. he's never been in this position before. women had never been friend material for him. he's not sure how this happened.]
Are we cool?
[he winces, way to sound like you're in high school again.]
[ faaaaacepalm. she thinks? she's not sure what that means. 'be cool' to her just means chill out, be cool. she's feeling pretty fine now, so. yes. a solid; ]

But it wasn't you, I need you to know that.

[ this second one takes a while; ]
of course it was me. I have zero self control and I picked the worst possible time to be selfish, I know that. but it's not going to happen again.
