[ He is immediately favoriting this playlist and he will study it intently and--

--oh, yes.

Yes, he sees the theme. And yes, he is blushing. ]

This is a very topical selection.

[ Is there a worse way to put it? Why did he send that. ]

Which is precisely what I asked for, of course! I just must admit I haven't heard of most of these.

[ help he's so cute... they've literally been having sex and yet... ]

are you blushing?

[ she knows he is. ]

1/2

[exarched]

No

[exarched]

[ :( ]






I know it's silly at this juncture...but each time feels as precarious and new as the first.

[aspectmastery]

on the contrary, if i ever lose the ability to make you blush, i shall be immeasurably disappointed in myself. surely you must know how much i treasure you and your affection.

I can say with confidence you will ever have that power at your disposal.

[ Yeah he IS embarrassed but also hopelessly sentimental. ]

Know that though I may falter, at times, to meet the standards I believe you are worthy of, your patience with me has been a blessing.

I have enjoyed every moment of this journey with you.

[aspectmastery]

even the ones with distinctly on-the-nose musical accompaniment?

[exarched]

[ Okay, he does laugh a little. ]

Yes, even those. Mayhaps they can even be elevated should I learn to worry less.

[aspectmastery]

this just tells me we should find a way to inoculate you against such concerns. perhaps by repetition?

[exarched]

Well...

Exposure therapy has been proven to be a reliable method.

ever my dedicated scholar. the next time we're together, i shall ensure i bring you to completion to the song with the silliest title.

That seems equal parts a promise and a threat...

One I shall accept. For academic purposes, of course.
