She does normie things that's why!! She parties and goes out and socializes! Stuff a shut-in like me couldn't even fathom! And yet even though I'm...me...she said she likes talking to me. And I like talking with her!
I did! She's gonna be there once I get the housewarming party going.
It better be just between us. I’m basically trusting you with my life right now, you know that? Because I don’t think my heart could take it if Aiden or anyone else found out.
[When Barrett points out how happy he sounds, he has to stop and think about that for a bit. Has he really seemed so gloomy lately…?
He didn’t think anyone would notice or care even if he did.]
I guess I am.
I feel like I’ve rolled a long-awaited limited SSR on my very first ten pull.
I think some of them would get it. Even Aiden. But it's okay. I won't tell anyone.
[Would they tease him relentlessly? Absolutely. But something about humoring the situations like this helped when Levi was already so shy and difficult to talk to some days.]
I have no idea what that means, Levi. But I'll guess it's probably good?
You should go do something cool with her. Maybe you'll both have a lot of fun.
[That’s exactly what he doesn’t want!!! He’s already internally screaming enough about the situation as it is, he doesn’t need teasing on top of working through his feelings!!!]
Ugh. It’s good, yes. VERY good. Like winning the lottery. Is that a better analogy for you?

Your big brother has made a friend!
no subject
You did?
Congrats. :-) See I knew you could do it. Are they nice?
no subject
She's really nice, and so easy to talk to. I didn't even know that was possible with normies!
You read that right. She's a NORMIE. o_o But she does like games! And she's willing to check out my anime recs!
no subject
Oh. Ohhhhhh.

All that and you still say she's a normie? I don't get it.
That's great, though. You sound really excited.
Did you invite her to the guild? It sounds like she might have fun.

[He starts to type "yes" to that other question until something clicks and he lets out a yelp wherever he's standing.]
Why does that matter for a friendship???

I guess I do kind of sound like Aiden saying that, though. Hm.

In a follow-up message, he finally satiates Barrett's curiosity.]
She's cute.

You must really really like this girl.
It's okay. :-) I believe in you. Just do something fun and don't worry about it too much.
no subject
It's not that serious!!! Friends can have dates too can't they?! I've heard about it in anime!
[God, his heart is absolutely pounding thinking about this. Is he dying?]
But, still...thanks for the support. I'm pretty sure not worrying is an impossible task for someone with anxiety but I appreciate the thought.
