Ugh... you'd fit right in with those soft-hearted idiots. [no wonder Ain is into this guy]
I'm not mad at him, just amazed at his stupidity. If he was going to get so upset over rejection he should've asked before trying to come on to me.
[in his mind this makes sense and is definitely how this is supposed to work, yeah. you ask about interest and THEN you start flirting and asking them out.]
...I mean, I feel like the "coming onto someone" part usually comes before the asking someone out part, generally? I didn't ask Ain to go out with me before I kissed him for the first time.
But you at least knew he was interested, right? You wouldn't just do something like that without checking that it would be reciprocated first. That's just common sense! It's research!
[what do you mean normal people don't do research before asking someone out]
Why wouldn't he know?! I don't use words like cute, I'd never say that shit on purpose! He should know that about me already and make the connection himself!
[............... did he accidentally hit on Ain and that's what started all of this?
He brings a hand to his mouth, thinking on this very intensely for several seconds. God, what else did he say that night??? Dynamo only had a partial recording, and what little he can remember is... embarrassing. He woke up with his hand in Ain's hair for El's sake. Why did he not consider this??]
... it's all just a misunderstanding. I'll... I'll talk to him. Later.
Alright. I think it would do him some good. Next time, though, I do recommend doing so privately, as reading it on a public device of any kind isn't good for either of you, I feel...
Oh, yes, of course! Sorry. I'll leave you to the rest of your work, Add. Thank you for listening to me, though. I really appreciate it.
[ There's... probably more he should say, for Ain's sake, but it's not his place to really be speaking for Ain. He just wants him to be happy, but it's up to Add how he wants to go from here. At least the conversation went a lot better than he thought. There was definitely a point where Ezell wanted to deck Add in the face.
He stands up from the chair and gives a little bow before heading for the door. ]
Oh, and please, you can talk to me if you ever feel like you need to, by the way. I know you're still not on the best of terms with me, but I'm a good listener.
[He's still scowling as hard as ever, arms folded as he waits for Ezell to let his damn self out of Add's office... but is there, perhaps, slightly less animosity than before?
Or maybe it's just because his mind is still elsewhere, thinking about all this embarrassing feelings-shit with Ain and how he's supposed to fix that. Ughhh.
He slams the door shut as soon as Ezell is back outside. He needs some time to think, definitely.]

he hates this]
I wasn't planning on it. Are you done telling me shit I already know about?
