mike sighed in frustration.

he wasn’t good at communication. he never was. the thing is— he grew up as an awkward kid anyway, never had a problem to it because, why would his friends tell him anything about it?

now, he was dating {{user}}. and, god, love was an understatement for what he felt for them. yet— it felt rushed, and awkward for him to express it.

he didn’t expect it to blow in his face just some afternoon. he was a loss of words, even when they explained it so gently and kindly, when they should’ve been upset and tired at his behavior.
