So! Um.
Entertain a hypothetical situation with me here if you would chaps!
Say someone you knew and were friends with had been dancing around a topic for a good two months and some change due to a bit of a personal fear of how others might react to the knowledge.
Say erm... That this person was dancing around a topic that possibly had a bit to do with romance!
A lot to do with romance really. *tugs collar*
Lets just... hypothetically assume that perhaps this person is a bit afraid to... um. Tell folks...
About a romantic endeavor of theirs.
Because um.
Well you see...

Ah, yes. I feel like this would have happened so I will take it from here. Jake is pursuing a romantic relationship with I, Rose Lalonde. I worry that if I don't interject now, he may pass out and never get this done.
A good day to you too. ;)

Oh.
Right.
Well yes there you have it!!

[Dual-post! Replies will come from both Jake and Rose. It's about time they came out in the open with this, they've been dating since January 27th. Whoops.

[He expected that this was coming, but... it still hurts a lot to read. It takes him a few minutes to respond.]

I see Dave's initiated the brotherly duties properly, so I'll go with a simple "what he said," in this case.
Contrats, and about fucking time, too.

[shitknickers]

Bugger thats a weight off my shoulders!
You and your father are by far the reactions i fear most dirk.
To know you approve warms my heart. Though it hardly excuses me for taking so long to inform you and i will do my best to make that up to you.

[Jake please.]

[toocoolforthis]

I can't speak for Bro.
At best you'll get ironic headpats, and at worst, well. I'll give you time to think on that one.
What the hell did take you so long, anyway? You're my best bro, like there's anything you have to hide from me.

[He has plenty to hide from Jake now, but. He'll ignore that fact. He'll ignore it so very much.]

[shitknickers]

Split evenly down the middle between i wanted to prove to rose i was truly interested in her for her and not just her looks or the fact that its apparently some kind of status mark to date a lovely lady and the fact that i didnt know how youd all take it.
I mean shes your sister. That can go a handful of terrible ways.
I am truly sorry though. You and jane will have to let me make it up to you.

[toocoolforthis]

If she got that impression from you, then I'm disappointed in the both of you.
It's not like you're a random stranger, English. I'm not friends with people I don't like.
I think I can be pretty certain of your motives, and I don't mistrust them.

[shitknickers]

I dont know if she specifically got it from me but it was still a factor.
I know.
Thank you. That honestly means more to me than you know.

[toocoolforthis]

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure I have a good idea.
What are bros for?

[Aha. ha. ha. The things he does to himself.]

[shitknickers]

The fact still remains that i should not have kept my courtship of your sister a secret from you for so long.
So i insist you allow me to make it up to you.
Perhaps i can buy you a butterbeer in hogsmeade?
Or whatever you think might be a more suitable favor.
I feel as though i havent spent nearly enough time with you lately due to my fear of flubbing up and mentioning this.

[toocoolforthis]

Well, if you insist.
Next Hogsmeade visit, you owe me a butterbeer.
Don't worry, I won't keep you too long, you can still have time for your date.

[He keeps writing things. Why does he keep doing this.]

[shitknickers]

I most certainly do.
And you hush just because i have myself a lady doesnt mean you are any less important to me. I will have a best friend date in hogsmeade thank you.
Er. That is if youll have me.

[Jake stop you're making it worse.]

[toocoolforthis]

I'm not about to give up a friend just because he's dating my sister.
Surely you think better of me than that, English.
Otherwise you wouldn't be making this generous offer.

[shitknickers]

It just worries me.
Youre a slippery fellow to grasp sometimes in mannerism and i never can quite tell what youre thinking.
I just want to make sure you know that this doesnt change a damn thing.
Youre still my best friend dirk.
My very best and by far one of the dearest people to me.
I dont know people get funny about friends dating their sisters. You know i put far too much stock into movies and television!

[toocoolforthis]

[When does it stop getting worse.]

Of course it doesn't. Honorary Strider licenses don't get revoked so easily.

[shitknickers]

[When you tell dunderhead here why it actually hurts, maybe. Though probably not. Sry.]

Heh. Im glad.

[seeringlight]

About time?
I beg your pardon? Was this to be expected?

[toocoolforthis]

Rose.
Rose, Rose, Rose.
Your normally impeccable memory seems to have failed you.
It may help you to remember who, exactly, Jake's best friends have been since first year.
Hint: One of them has this really rad pair of shades.

[shitknickers]

Dirk good gracious!
There is no need to tell the lady of my frankly embarrassing fussing over her prior to the current arrangement!
*tugs collar!!*

[toocoolforthis]

And why not?
It proves your sincerity, doesn't it?

[shitknickers]

I-- well yes i suppose it does!
But it also makes me look like a ruddy fool for her.
Which...
All right i suppose i am who am i trying to fool.
Bugger.

[toocoolforthis]

You're welcome.

[seeringlight]

I had no idea. :(
I didn't expect to be a subject matter for infatuation. I don't exactly fall under the normal qualifications of dating material. This is all quite a surprise to me.

[toocoolforthis]

I'm sorry, but as your brother, I doubt I can come up with the reasons for it.
Suffice it to say that you do, whether you expected it or not.

[seeringlight]

One day a proper guide will be available to us and we will truly figure out how relationships work.

Properly.

[toocoolforthis]

At least other people have their parents.

[He loves you, Bro, but you're not the best example of how relationships work.]

[seeringlight]

I concur.

[Neitherrrrrr is Mom.]
