I appreciate that you think I'm funny at all, even if it's only in person.

I also appreciate you think I have good fashion sense, since I've already been told this week that I need to stop buying clothes with the criteria of 'can I throw this on in the dark where no one can see me clearly?' and 'will I look good in this while brooding?'

You know telling me "don't stop flirting" ensures I'm going to stop, right?
Like I said: performance anxiety. I can't do it on command, it has to come naturally.
And if we keep talking about it, that just ensures that it will never come naturally, ever again.

Wow, college really is different than high school. Someone else causing destruction of school property?

Flirting across 100 miles isn't going to be the problem, for me.
That's just about the perfect amount of angst to keep me not-happy.
But I want you to be happy. Completely happy.
If me being part of your life, being selfish and wanting to keep what little we can have, ever gets in the way of that
you have to let me know.
Maybe someday I can actually let you go.
But until then, if you need me to, I can at least pretend.

it's true though, you have incredible fashion sense for someone who wears only dark colors
tell cordelia, i'm assuming it was cordelia who told you this? unless you know someone else who would make a very astute observation about your clothing choices?
anyway
tell her, or whoever it is, there's nothing wrong with your clothes
if she still gives you a hard time then go buy sweatpants and sweatshirts
she'll back pedal real fast, you'll see

leave it to you to make texting complicated for me
thanks
😐
anyway
consider this me not expecting flirting but if it happens it happens and just know i'm okay with it
obviously
oh and this is me now dropping the flirting conversation entirely so no anxiety

i see your wow and raise you an ow
bec that was harsh
but also fair
yes, someone other than me caused the destruction
frat boys threw a party and let's just say they know how to cause damage without summoning demons
or so i hear

believe me when i say i'm happy
with this, with you
is it what i pictured?
not really but it's good
different but good
and not to be a killjoy but us splitting up wasn't my choice, remember?
i never wanted you to go or to not be a part of my life
so me ending things has all signs pointing to not gonna happen

[ he almost reminds her about doyle, before realizing that she hasn't actually met doyle... except in his own memory. ]

Doyle has worse fashion sense
or maybe it's just 'no fashion sense'
I'm not sure which one is worse honestly.
Yes it was Cordelia
I'll tell her, and keep the sweats idea just in case.

texting is complicated for me, I'm just spreading the misery
I'm kinda known for that
around the office, at least.

How does it feel, not being automatically blamed for property destruction?

Buffy...
Look. I stand by my decision to leave, and not just for the reasons I gave you.
I don't trust myself with you. And I don't trust the curse, or what constitutes "perfect happiness."
I think you should see what it's like, to be yourself, instead of you-and-me, for a while.
And I don't mean this in a 'childish' way, but you've got growing up to do, learning to be independent
and me hanging around wasn't going to help.
And considering - and I will deny saying this if you ever bring it up again - Spike was right
and we can't really be "just" friends
removing myself seemed like the best option.

Could I have handled it better? Almost absolutely.
I still think I made the right choice at the time
I'm just... too selfish to see it through the way I'd thought was best.
