She's grumpy as hell and still won't speak to her brother, but she's up and moving again, thank God.

Who are you talking about?

[bittervictor]

A friend. A comrade. Sara.

[peoplesprincess]

Oh, your girlfriend?

[bittervictor]

...Once I would have hoped so. These days, more like a sister.

[peoplesprincess]

That's kind of creepy.

[bittervictor]

Only in retrospect. We aren't related.

[peoplesprincess]

No, but it's still creepy that someone who you used to have a crush on is your sister now.

[bittervictor]

Yeah, it is. I'm glad that I ended up going for someone else.

...It's funny. A virus ruined my chances with Sara, and I was horrified at the time.

[peoplesprincess]

She was here? Which virus?

[bittervictor]

No, she wasn't here...

It was the one that gave people what they thought they wanted. It wore off, and I confessed 'back' to her, and she... didn't take it well.

[peoplesprincess]

Ah.

[bittervictor]

I honestly found I was more comfortable around her once I got shunted to her friend zone. Life is funny that way.

[peoplesprincess]

Well, it makes sense. Romance is stupid.

[bittervictor]

I actually agree with you on that. I wouldn't call what I've got with my girlfriend a romance, exactly. More like... like a natural outgrowth of working together and being her friend.

[peoplesprincess]

Then why do you call her your girlfriend?

[bittervictor]

I'm still in love with her. We still kiss. We're just not sappy about it.
