You're still together, right?

[inmyothertights]

Kate. I developed feelings for a guy. I didn't sleep with him, or kiss him.

Yes, we're still together. He's not angry with me.

[selfequipped]

But he refuses to live with you after living with you for a while.

[inmyothertights]

No. I told him that if he wanted to, he didn't have to move in right away.

Okay, you know what, I told you so you wouldn't be surprised, you don't have to dissect it or fix it.

[selfequipped]

Billy, you're allowed to be upset about this.

[inmyothertights]

I am upset! I fucked up, it was me, and I admit it, and I got my boyfriend here and he's hurt and he's hurt because of me!

But I can't force him to just not feel hurt, I can't force him to be okay with it just because I miss him.

I mean I could but it would be gross and unethical and gross.

[selfequipped]

You wouldn't ever do that.

But you really needed to type that out. You are allowed to be upset about this.

[inmyothertights]

So I told him it was okay. And it is okay. He needs that, to figure it out, he needs it and he deserves it, so it's okay.

It doesn't mean that I like it, or that I'm not sad, but if I let him know he'll just come here and force himself to be okay because Teddy doesn't always think about himself first.

[selfequipped]

If he decides he wants to move in, we should maybe consider moving.

If the whole sharing a room thing is bad for him.

[inmyothertights]

I hope it won't be.

[selfequipped]

Yeah, I hope so, too.

[But Kate Bishop, the ever realist.

She never thought Teddy wouldn't just be coming in like this, but she also never thought Billy would develop feelings for someone else.]
