Rain
Comic 813 - Shucks
Author Notes:
Jokes aside, this is a pretty big development for them. Maybe they're setting themselves up for more hurt and failure. Or maybe things will be better in a different kind of setting where they can get used to each other at their own pace. Either way, I guess they're gonna give it one more shot?
Thoughts? Is this just what they needed or a disaster waiting to happen?

Err, Ky, "You're different. Special, even." is supposed to be said to a video game silent protagonist/any Mary Sue lead from any work of fiction. Drew is just your goofy not-boyfriend! è_é
Now that is a genuine and honest answer. I suspect there will still be more mistakes along the line - people are good at screwing up, even with the best intent in the world. But as long as that good intention is there, those screw ups happen less often and good can flourish in between.
For a long time, I used to always assume the worst about people in the belief it would keep me safe and that I'd never be disappointed. I found it a miserable way to live; always waiting for the Sword of Damocles to drop rather than enjoying the food at the feast.
Sorry about that, the bugger was desperate.
Anyway, I hope things can work out for these two. Because I do actually kinda ship it
He just apologized for saying something that shows that he's embarrassed to be seen with her in public... and now he's seems to be implying that it would be better to pursue their relationship in private.
Perhaps it's just my own triggers, but this sounds like an eventual train wreck. What future do they have if he's afraid to be seen in public with her?
Or I could be wrong but that's what I think
He's not examining his privilege and Ky is falling into a trap of NRE and their own willingness to settle for less than human treatment because they believe that since Drew is the first to reciprocate or initiate romantic feelings, that that is all the options they will ever have.
And opening that relationship with that settling, with that self-dismissal and not having a partner pushing back against it means that at best this will be a relationship that reinforces the notion to Ky that they have to settle for love. At worst, it means having their identity consistently being treated as secondary to the needs of his comfort level and closet.
Honestly, I'd rather see Ky with someone who can see how awesome they are from the outset rather than someone who needs all the education but refuses to do any of it himself.
