Anyone would love you, Glimmer. They'd be lucky to be loved by you.

[sparklequeen]

And that's how I feel about you, too. Dummy. You're amazing. Anyone would be lucky to have you love them.

[ Glimmer shrugs helplessly. ]

But... I'm still scared to tell some people I love them even if you say that. I think it's scary for everyone.

[ She draws her knees up a little closer to her chest, curling inwards. ]

It makes you feel vulnerable when you open yourself up like that, no matter who you are.

[dumbjockenergy]

Is there someone in particular you're worried about telling? If this is about Bow...

[sparklequeen]

[ Glimmer coughs, cheeks turning a bright pink almost instantly. ]

I...

[ She squints at Adora. ]

How are you so bad at figuring out your own feelings when you just nail me with the first shot?

[dumbjockenergy]

I mean, it's kinda obvious.

[sparklequeen]

It is not!

[ Okay. Maybe it is. She sulks for a moment, leaning against Adora. ]

He's just. One of my best friends and I don't want to ruin that if he doesn't, you know. Feel the same way. He's not even here so it's not like it matters right now, but...

Ugh.

[dumbjockenergy]

I don't think you need to worry about that, honestly.

[ is

is this what it feels like to be the 'how is it not obvious' one? ]

[sparklequeen]

Of course I need to worry about that!

[dumbjockenergy]

I really don't think you do, Glim.

[ She puts a hand on her shoulder reassuringly. ]

I think Bow feels the same way. But even if he doesn't, do you really think he'd stop being your friend or be weird about it because you like him?

[sparklequeen]

Maybe! I don't know!

[ UGHHHH. Glimmer drags her hands down her face. ]

He's been my best friend since we were kids, Adora! I might mess it up!

[dumbjockenergy]

You're not going to mess it up. Bow cares about you too much for that, okay?

[sparklequeen]

I know. It just... What if I do somehow?

[dumbjockenergy]

Then you talk, and make it better. You're Glimmer. There's nothing you can't do.

[sparklequeen]

I... I hope you're right.

[ This particular encouragement hurts. A lot. All she can think of is how she hurt Adora and Bow. The things she'd said and done. Adora doesn't remember them and there's no way for her to make them better, not right now. ]
