[Around November 20th, a text message goes out to the following people: Avery, Ekkehardt, Jail, Tobias, Maverick, Maya, Sarona, Puella, Grimm, and Sherlock.]

Hello,

You're receiving this message because you are friends with Héctor Rivera in some capacity or another. I'm planning to throw him a surprise birthday party on the 30th of this month, and you're all welcome to attend. The party will begin at sundown and will be held on the first floor common room in Aube. If you'd like to help decorate or prepare food, please arrive at 3pm instead. There will be drinks for those who are old enough to drink--please be responsible. Presents are welcome, but are not required.

If I'm missing any other friends of Héctor's from this list, please let me know. And remember, this is a surprise, so please don't mention it to him.

~ Imelda Rivera

no offense tía but you ain't never been a teenage boy
there is EVERYTHING desperate about being in love

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

Like what? Enlighten me.

[deuteranope]

maybe in a few months when I'm no longer a teenager and can't be lumped into a bunch of embarrassing shit

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

Please. After asking me if I gave my future husband permission to masterbate, now you're going to get shy about this?

[deuteranope]

it ain't about being shy come on
just don't want anybody gettin the wrong idea and thinking I'm some fucking pathetic romcom protag or some shit because I just so happen to be in the same age range I'm describing

[Besides, he'd been holding onto that question for months, now.]

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

There's nothing pathetic or embarrassing about being in love, mijo. It's the best thing in the world to be.

[deuteranope]

[...]

maybe
guess I thought I knew that already but fuck if I know what that was anymore
definitely fucking desperate though

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

... You mean with Akechi?

The thing about love is that, while it is the best feeling in the world, it also makes it hard to focus on anything else. It trips up the best of us, mijo, but that's not your fault. It doesn't make you pathetic or desperate.

If you want to talk about it, you know I'm here for you. Whenever you're ready.

[deuteranope]

I fucking dunno if it was love or not
dunno which way I'd fucking hate more either

it doesn't matter
I mean
I'm with someone else now and
he's getting better just fine without me so it's fine we can be friends again
I don't have to worry or feel so fucking guilty anymore
or angry
ugh this is fucking stupid I'm rambling and it's fucking TEXT
just ignore me tía, seriously
