He's really good. I just... hurt him really badly before we got separated and I don't know if he'll ever actually, you know. Feel the same way now.

[ Bummer. But she pushes through it. ]

Yeah! Exactly! It was just like this switch, kinda. You know... oh.

[notathreat]

[Big bummer -- but Ellie's not as sure as Glimmer is about that being over, but it's not the time.]

Spending forever not wanting to fuck up your friendship, but also wondering how they feel?

[sparklequeen]

Yeah. Yeah, exactly like that.

[notathreat]

Well... at least you're not as bad as I was. The first time I fell in love I didn't even realize that I had, at all.

[sparklequeen]

Oh, yeah. Sheesh. That... must have been rough?

[notathreat]

Mostly for her.

[Ellie lets out a rusty laugh. The sting has finally started to go out of the memory.]

She took me on a whole-ass date and I didn't even realize it. I thought kissing her was my own half-baked idea.

[sparklequeen]

Ellie! Oh no!

[ Glimmer breaks into giggles. ]

That must have been so awkward.

[notathreat]

Dude, I apologized right after kissing her. Awkward doesn't begin to cover it.

[sparklequeen]

You apologized?

[ Glimmer sounds like she's being overcome with laughter. ]

[notathreat]

She was confused about that part, too.

[A laugh bubbles up through her words, only barely catching at the edges. It's taken a long time to move on, to tell herself that it's okay. It hurts, but it feels good to talk about her, too. Somebody should know about Riley.]

[sparklequeen]

Gods.

[ Glimmer's laughter subsides a little as she sprawls out on the bed. There's a faint sigh. ]

...I haven't actually had my first kiss yet.

[notathreat]

[Ellie laughs under her breath.]

Not for lack of people wanting to, I bet.

[sparklequeen]

I had like one friend growing up. I never thought of kissing him until pretty recently. Besides, he probably never thought of me that way...

[ SIGH. ]

I know I definitely thought about kissing Adora.

[notathreat]

I mean, I don't know him, so I can't make a call on that. But I'm pretty sure tons of people have thought about kissing Adora.

[Hey, Ellie's sparred with the girl. She can admit that she's objectively hot as fuck.]

[sparklequeen]

Right? She's unfairly attractive. Tall, muscles, gorgeous hair, and a total dork all at the same time.

[ SIGH. ]

Annnnd completely in love with Catra.

[notathreat]

Oh shit, did she admit it?

[C'mon, she's see that picture of them looking at each other.]

[sparklequeen]

Uh, she came to my place back before I moved in? They'd had a fight and um.

[ She's not sure how much of this she can share, but... ]

I could feel it. You know what I mean?

[notathreat]

Yeah, I think I do.

They made up okay, right?

[sparklequeen]

Yeah I mean. We're all living together now.

[ Glimmer gives a low groan that turns into a laugh. ]

I was actually talking to Catra the other night? Because I was trying to get advice on like, what to do about. Um. You. Me. That whole thing? And get this: she thought Adora knew that Catra was into her this whole time.

[notathreat]

[Ellie's momentarily hung up on the idea of Glimmer talking to other people to get advice about her, particularly when she hasn't met Catra yet. Fuck.

BUT-]

Oh hrist, really? Did you say anything?

[sparklequeen]

I kinda nudged her in the right direction by pointing out that Adora might not know how Catra feels? I don't want to just, you know, force them to confront each other if they're not ready.

[ Even if she thinks it'd make them much happier, maybe. ]

Oh hrist

[notathreat]

You're so much nicer than I would be.

[Ellie out here having zero chill about these things.]

Re: Oh hrist

[sparklequeen]

What? Would you have just said 'hey idiot, she's really into you' or something?

[ Glimmer has the giggles again. ]

[notathreat]

See? You already know me.

[It's not something she can tell a stranger, but a friend? Fucking sure. Absolutely.]

[sparklequeen]

Pff. Maybe I am too nice.
