Joke's on you, talking like this is so way easier than talking aloud, how did I live without texting before I came here?
[ And for a while Ben thinks that's the only reply he's going to get, and that he pushed too hard. He's always pushing too hard. Pushing Klaus, pushing Diego, thinking he knows best, when it's only true some of the time.
So it surprises him twice as much when that second reply comes, and when it does, Ben hardly believes what he's reading. He hasn't been the best thing that's happened to anyone... well, ever. Sure, he does his best to help Klaus and he knows his brother loves him but things are complicated, there. They're brothers who had been raised through some horrific shit together so how could there not be? But that means that even when Klaus loves him and appreciates his advice, there's some bitterness and grief and competition and weirdness and jealousy mixed up in it. ]
Don't worry, I promise I'm always going to assume you're not hitting on me, no matter what. I'm really glad to hear that. I was kinda worried I'd overstepped there for a minute. I think realizing it is an awesome first step. The truth is I got stuff I need to work on, too. A lot of stuff. So if you ever need anybody to talk to about any of it, you know where I am.
This also might read weird too, but you're my first one. If we're not counting siblings. Which seems like a different thing.
