Good. Tim, I love you more than you may every know. But please know this, too: I do not simply agree to things to make you happy. I do truly support you in this rekindling of your love. I was hurt, yes, but I understand.
Thanks for saying that. I love you, too. That's why I worry so much that I'm hurting you with this back and forth and indecisiveness. I spent a long time lying to myself, and to you by extension. I shouldn't have done that.
I'm sorry. I'll learn from this, I promise. I won't ask you to decide for me anymore.
I admit that I was very frustrated. It felt that no matter what I did, it was incorrect. But that is simply how life is, sometimes. I'll not hold it against you.
I am content that you still want me by your side.
Well, in that case, yes, I will happily make your decisions for you.
I felt the same way. I trusted your judgement but didn't think about your feelings. I think this is the right thing, taking it slow. I guess it'll take time to know for sure.
I invited him over for Christmas, too. I know it's still kind of fraught, but nobody should be alone for it.
Speaking of telling me what to do. That thing with Mr. Giles was fun. Did you like that, him reporting back to you?
I know. He cares about you too. He proved it when we were snowed in. It meant a lot to me.
We'll be alone for Christmas Eve. And in the morning. And after dinner. Don't you worry.
Good. I liked it too. Stephen's out since Hawk snarled at him (i'll talk to him about it once things settle down...) but if you still want to do that, maybe Giles.
[ yes, he can...the things Hawk says to his lovers are unfortunately, outside of his control! ]
I didn't even mean to text him, the network was going haywire.
I sent him a photo that wasn't meant for him. The one with me in the hammock. And he was acting like he might not delete it without being forced to, so I called him a liar, and he said I was jealous, and it got nasty from there. And then Hawk got mad at me. It's a whole situation now for no good reason.

A brilliant idea.

Well. Unless we're taking clothes off. 😇

Date: 2025-12-20 06:34 am (UTC)I think that's a lovely idea. I do care for Hawkins too, you know.
Tim. Will we be alone at any point? Christmas eve perhaps?
Oh, I enjoyed that very much. Rupert is a good sport.

Date: 2025-12-20 06:56 am (UTC)Alright. I shan't require much time, but I do have a gift for you.
You know, it's one thing for Hawkins to mess up YOUR sex life, darling, but it's quite another for him to ruin mine.
Perhaps some day. I'm wary of complicating things now.
no subject
Date: 2025-12-20 07:12 am (UTC)I agree, but Stephen doesn't want to get involved in any drama, and I can't promise him there won't be any. We were mature about it.
When or if you're ready, we can try. I can get Hawk to stand down. He got mad at me for snapping at Bob, I'll remind to practice what he preaches.
no subject
Date: 2025-12-20 07:15 am (UTC)Lovely. [can you feel the dry british sarcasm, Tim?]
You snapped at Bob? Why?

I left him an apology letter this afternoon.

Date: 2025-12-20 07:31 am (UTC)Well. You probably were jealous, Tim. You usually are.
That was very noble of you. Good job.
no subject
Date: 2025-12-20 07:49 am (UTC)I was. But I stand by what I said before about his judgment.
Thanks. It's not the season to hold grudges.

Date: 2025-12-20 07:51 am (UTC)We all make mistakes there sometimes.
Exactly. And he seems an amiable enough fellow.

Date: 2025-12-20 06:13 pm (UTC)Yeah...I had a few go where they shouldn't, too.
I don't know. I guess we'll see.
