It wouldn't be holding him back. You guys are family. I'd totally hog my dad, if he were here.

well duh. i can hardly sleep when he's not here now, but that's not gonna stop me from shoving him out the door to enjoy himself and be happy. he's sacrificed a lot more than a good night's rest for me.

[ There's a pause ... ]

Just as long as you're fine with it. And if you're ever not fine with it, I want to know.

i'd tell you. trust me. i WANT you guys to get together. that would be AWESOME. there's no one i'd trust more with tadashi.

Yeah, well ... we'll see. It's complicated.

But I'm glad you feel that way. :)

it's always complicated. at least be happy while you're confused.

[ Laughs ... ]

What are you, some kind of love guru?

someone has to get tadashi to date people. he's so busy being a nerd and a parental figure he forgets to be a person.

which he's not allowed to do anymore, because every time i used to get too into a project, he'd force me to get fresh air for the same reason.

I get that impression. He said his first girlfriend broke up with him because your cat started shedding.

cats shed all year. tadashi is a liar.

[ LAUGHS .... ]

Well, I'll do my best to keep reminding him he is in fact a person.

good. i'm trusting his awkward nerdy heart to you.

That's a hefty responsibility.

it's mostly a joke. he's responsible for himself.

Right.

Well, sorry for the awkward heart-to-heart. Just wanted to be sure.

it's fine. he'll probably be asking me the same things soon.

You think so?

yeah. i mean it, he doesn't let himself relax because he spends too much time worrying about me.

I've noticed that ...

[ How can a text sound so exasperated ]

it's annoying. i can handle myself, and he knows it now. so... i don't know. maybe knowing i'm fighting crime back home will help him chill out and start doing things for himself.

Oh? So you guys did talk about it?

he brought it up on the ride home. he seemed... okay with it.

Only "okay"?

he said i was a hero.

[ Awwwwww .... ]

I'd say that's more than being okay with it.
