I mean, we're friends again now. It took a long time, [Blue sighs raggedly. How to explain all the dead silence in between, living his whole adolescence clinging to his childhood and trying to pry himself away from it, coming into his own, only to meet Red again as a burgeoning adult. It had been a difficult struggle, and yet... Once they reunited, Blue couldn't imagine them being apart again.]
[He's always wondered how it was for Red. Maybe it was just wishful thinking, but Blue could only hope that there had been as much longing and thought of the other on his side- but then again, if Blue really was confident in that, would he have the bloom in his chest right now?]
--All ready for prom, huh? [He manages to crack a pained smirk, nodding his chin towards Raihan's clutched wrist. Maybe it's a weak change of subject, but... There wasn't much to say, whenever someone insisted to Blue that there was a glimmer of a chance that Red returned his feelings. They didn't really understand- all of the different reasons it could be impossible, how could he possibly explain all of them?]
