I guess Alex and me put off that other talk we were supposed to have for a bit, because we just hugged each other on the couch for an hour and he told me how much he loved me, and I did the same, and AHHHHHHH, it was great, seriously.

I regret running away so much now. It’s relaxing as heck to talk to Alex about casual stuff.

He told me about his meeting. Apparently his assistant is called Nora, and she totally freaked out when she realized Alex was the person in the movie clip that’s going viral right now. So, obviously, as all good fans do, they took a picture together, and Alex showed it to me lol

Not going to lie, Alex’s assistant is seriously attractive. At least on the picture, she was. She has like, these really clear blue eyes, dark brown hair with bangs that are cut a little too short (but in a way that makes it look cute). And she dresses… like a doll. Kind of like Alex used to when he would go to  conventions as Athena, actually.

Alex told me she’s a voice actor who also draws, and she’s trying to save up by doing assistant work on the sidelines. “I admit, she had quite the charming voice.”

I laughed and pinched his sides. “You totally think she’s cute.”

My boyfriend frowned. For the first time in a long time, I noticed his face getting red. “No!” he blurted. “I—”

“It’s fine, dude, I get it. I think she’s cute, too.”

He paused to raise a brow. “Is… that so?”

I shrugged. “I mean, objectively speaking, she’s not ugly.”

After a bit of us going back and forth on whether or not Alex was flustered because of his assistant, he finally admitted to me that he found her, I quote: Endearing. “But this will remain strictly professional, David, I swear!” he told me.

Once I was done teasing him for at least another good minute or two, we finally talked about what we were going to do next with our own relationship.

Honestly, I’d go into the details of what happened a bit more, but I’m writing this on my lunch break, and I need to get to my next class soon.

Before I lose my train of thought though, here are some cool bullet points:

- Alex basically told me that he freaked out the other day because he thought I wanted to leave him but now he’s fine cause he understood I was just crushing on someone, and that I’m still VERRRRRRYYY in love with him.

- We realized that we were both okay with the idea of each other seeing other people. It was actually nicer than being single, because we have someone we feel super safe with, who we can also exchange our dating adventures with. Maybe that’s kind of strange, and maybe it won’t work out in practice, but in theory, we seem to agree on this fact. Which… I guess is good for now.

- We made a rule that we should let each other know who we’ll be dating and when (for safety reasons. Alex came up with it, but I think it’s smart so I agreed).

- We’re also not going to be actively seeking out new people to bang and date. Overall, it’s kind of like… if we’re crushing on someone, we don’t want to hold each other back from experiencing that crush (if the crush in question is okay with dating someone’s who’s already in a relationship, of course), cause life’s too short, and as Alex said: “You deserve all the love in the world, darling—why should I forbid you from feeling good, and being loved? Regardless of whether it is with me or another: I want you to be happy and fulfilled. I want you to experience, all that there is to experience.”

- Okay, he said that, but he also told me, “Get tested. Don’t bring me back an STD, David. Because that is a little less lovely.”

- I mean, that’s fair. Personally, I guess I care a little less about that, but I know it’s really important to Alex, and I can understand why he’d be pissed off if I brought back an infection into our bedroom, when he didn’t even sleep with the person in question. It’d be like getting the negative repercussions for a choice I made, so… that would suck.

- Which leads me our second rule: since we’re trying to be careful and responsible adults, we’ll wait at least three months before having sex with our potential future partners, ask them to get tested, and also about whether or not they’re doing someone else at the same time, because if they are, then that kind of makes our three month idea useless, since our other partner could just have sex with someone a day before having sex with us, catch something, get tested, and have that thing not show up on the test, but still be contagious and yeah… awkward times would follow.

- Third rule is safe sex (unless we’re 99% sure the other person is only exclusively seeing us).

- Fourth is to let them know we’re not single of course lol

- Fifth is to get tested very often, if we’re going around doing other people.

- …And geez, this is stressing me out now.

- There’s so much stuff to remember.

- BUT OVERALL: we just plan on being super transparent with each other (and everyone else that will potentially also be involved), and hopefully, if we communicate enough, stuff will work out! (Not going to lie, I’m still stressed. I’m scared of messing up.)

- Anyway…………. Alex tells me this is mostly for me though, because he thinks he’s not going to fall for someone else.

- I’m betting with myself that Alex is going to start crushing hard on his assistant though. And it looks like she’s already crushing hard on him so…. you know.

- lol never thought I would write this in my life, but I think Nora would look good with my boyfriend, they’d be like… two really hot models who’d come together to form one hell of a sexy couple.

…Man, what is my life.

…

Okay, I really need to stop writing.

I probably forgot some stuff, and my spelling was kinda messy (sorry, lunchbreaks make me rush, and good/neat writing still doesn’t come naturally to me), but I have to pack up and get to my next class, so I’ll see you later.

(also I just checked and now I’m at 4000 followers………… what is going on omg)
