[ordinar]

What do you mean, was this the first time.

This is breaking news.

[sophos]

[ she, too, has a Roommate, dear wilhelm. she knows what they can get up to sometimes. ]

It was just a question! I didn't know for sure!
Are congratulations in order or sympathy for the immediate separation?

[ordinar]

[Wowww...]

I'll accept both.

The universe is actually my biggest hater.

[sophos]

[ unsupervised teenager problems. ]

Kind of a dick move for the universe, yeah.
Do you want to talk about it?

[ordinar]

I just want to know why I have the worst luck with boys.

At least I can see him in the horizon.

[sophos]

Is this... a common problem for you?
Yeah, but the Horizon's not the same.

[ordinar]

My last boyfriend disappeared somewhere between when all of us passed out around the Singularity and when we woke up again.

I said I love you to my first boyfriend and he told me to have a nice Christmas.

[So...yes.]

[sophos]

[ that's rough buddy. ]

You weren't kidding about the universe.
If it makes you feel any better, Percy disappeared for like two weeks after I first kissed him, and we thought he was dead.
So. It could get better. Maybe Iris can break the curse??

[ordinar]

Shit. If I kissed a boy and he went and died, I would like

Give up. Forever.

I'm glad Percy wasn't actually dead.

Yeah, maybe. If I ever get back to Thorne.

[sophos]

There was a volcano eruption. It wasn't exactly a fun time, no.
You said yourself they'll probably work on something. At the very least all of the territories want something from us as Summoned, and having to start all over again with a bunch of them from another territory doesn't seem ideal logistically.
We'll get back to Thorne.

[ can she offer you some attempted rationale in these trying times? ]

[ordinar]

You're right. We will.

Then you'll have to deal with me and Iris being gross. You and Percy will have competition.

[sophos]

We can't be that bad.
Are you guys officially dating now then?

[ordinar]

Please.

I mean, we didn't get a chance to talk about it. It just happened and now...this. But I'm seeing him tonight.

[sophos]

Shut up.
So... do you think you will be dating then? After you talk?

[ordinar]

I don't know.

I want to be.

It feels like more than just a casual thing.

[sophos]

Are you worried he doesn't want that too?

[ordinar]

I just don't want to be wrong.

[sophos]

[ bro she understands that all too well. ]

Well. Break it down.
What makes you think you might be wrong?
Excluding your prior trajectory of bad luck.

[ordinar]

[He thinks for a long moment.]

I don't know.

Nothing, I guess.

Everything was so

Intense. It felt like we'd both been waiting a long time to do that.

[sophos]

[ oh she does not feel equipped for this. but she will power on because wille is her friend. ]

Okay.
That sounds more like it should be a point against you being wrong.

[ordinar]

[You're the best, Annabeth...]

Ok so maybe I'm just being stupid.

[sophos]

Not stupid. You've had some shit luck. It's going to color how you look at similar possibilities.
But it doesn't mean you should always assume it's going to be bad either.
If you don't have any more reasons you think you're wrong, think about the reasons you could be right.

[ordinar]

[This time, he doesn't have to think.]

The way he looks at me.

How everything already feels comfortable between us.

Ugh, it sounds sooo corny, I know.

[sophos]

More like super corny.

[ sorry were you expecting an argument?? she's a child of athena, not aphrodite. ]

But I think you just also gave yourself the answer you're looking for.
Feelings are annoying sometimes but it sounds like you know what you want already.

[ordinar]

Cringe.

Thanks, Annabeth. For letting me dump all this on you.
