neither of us EVER wanted to date with kuno, believe me. kuno was the WORST. i think i told you about how there was this whole stupid thing where boys at my school tried to defeat me so they could go on a date with me, right?

that was all kuno's stupid fault

i think scorpia has someone she likes back home too, which maybe makes it more confusing

but i mean i haven't told scorpia i like her like her or anything yet because this is VERY recent

you're the first person i told

[insidescoop]

You sure did! Maybe not everything but you did say a lot. Either way, sounds like a pretty massive jerk. Don't worry you're not being like that.

Hmmmm.

I think it might be good to talk to her from a distanced point of view. By that, I mean present the idea as if Scorpia were a third party while talking to her- specifically, the fact that you're worried about asking someone out not only because you know there's someone back home, and even in another world that you like, but Also because you know that they might have someone they like back home as well.

See how she reacts, and while I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to immediately admit it's her from there, it'll at least give you an idea of where to go later.

[uncutetomboy]

oh. i guess that's a good idea

how do i know if scorpia likes me back though? she kind of likes everybody, even stupid steve palchuk

[insidescoop]

That's going to have to be the part where you take a gamble unfortunately. Once you're at least sure that she wouldn't judge someone for the idea, you'll know that if you ask later, and she does say no? It's not really anything that would've been in your control at that point. Sometimes people just prefer to stay friends, and that's okay!

The important part is not hyping yourself up for one thing or another- that just sets you up for disappointment.

[uncutetomboy]

oh. yeah, that's a good point

her hugs are really, really nice, carly

[She worries her lip between her teeth before she adds,]

the first time i met her, i tried to fight her and then i lost my balance and fell face-first onto her chest, but she was very nice about it

this was at christmas

[Which brings up something she's been meaning to ask Carly too. For, well, months and months.]

hey carly, did you meet connie because of her internship? because she told me stuff about it and i know it's how she met some people like mr jack

[She reads that over with a studied frown before pressing enter. If she's wrong about Carly, then she can pretend that Connie met them through the 'internship' because it was supposedly for Mr Jack.]

[insidescoop]

Awww. Glad to hear that~

uh

Ignoring the part where I actually knew about Connie before she even got here, [Handy Out, Get-!] Right into her chest huh...

[uncutetomboy]

oh, i didn't know that. were you from the same world or is it because you know mr and mrs universes, because i'm pretty they were her old boyfriend steven's parents

(steven universe who was our age and not her sort-of uncle who is old obviously)

[Akane's face is very red as she types,]

it was very soft

[insidescoop]

The latter! They're good folks. I lent them a caravan.

And that's adorable, I'm sorry I have to say it!! I hope you get to get more of those~

[uncutetomboy]

i don't really know them but they do seem really nice and mrs universe is so tall!!! even taller than scorpia!!! maybe as tall as mr hythlo!?! but she looks soft too

(i probably shouldn't think about falling on scorpia as much as i do)

[insidescoop]

She's very tall!! Extremely tall!!

And extremely soft...

Ahem. It's fine to think about it as long as you don't get creepy about it.

[uncutetomboy]

has she hugged you? are her hugs as nice as i suspect they are?



i hope you're right because i do think about it a lot, but the last thing i want to be is creepy

scorpia is really important to me

she and cassandra are my best friends now that connie is gone

[insidescoop]

You don't even have to get a hug to know they're that nice...

Ahem.

As long as you talk about it with her feelings in mind, it probably won't be creepy. The entire reason you're bringing it up is to keep from upsetting her in the process right?
