[ Kyle really hadn't expected hesitation. It's not like Nick being flighty and back and forth with home and other places wasn't normal. He's been a bit distant in responses but in truth, Kyle hadn't expected anything but sure.

So he stares at that for the longest time, trying to pretend he's working but staring at those three sentences. Finally he realizes he has to send something back. ]

yeah weve got a few days and all
if you need anything let me know.

( it should be straightforward. the situation they have is clearly a good one. nick likes living here, likes living with kyle and michael. and he knows that this thing with kyle hasn't just been casual for a long time now. longer than he's willing to admit.

but then, that's the problem. )

yeah idk i'll have a think about it
doesn't hurt to explore all our options right
michael's signing again?

[ He should have seen this coming. He should have known better. Hell, the car wash had really left him thinking maybe they had gotten to that place where this could work.

He should have really known better. ]

Yeah, he is.
I'm seeing him this evening to sign the contract.

[He's sure Nick has plenty of options, that's the thing. And he can only imagine what exploring them will lead to. ]

that's good

( because then kyle won't be alone, which should be enough to tell nick that he's already made his mind up, but he's nothing if not talented at lying to himself. )

yeah i just need to like talk to some people or whatever, i'll get back to u when i know what's up

( there isn't anyone else. apparently he's talented at lying to kyle, too. )

whatever you need nick. whatever makes you happy.
all ive ever wanted for you

[ For one moment he deluded himself into thinking it was him that could make that happen.

He should have known better. ]
