It's not that I don't like him! It's just that Jon can be difficult. I worry he takes advantage of you. Relationships goes two ways and I mostly just hear how he takes from you. I don't often hear about what he gives back in return.

You mean, besides literally saving my life?

He's- he's affectionate, just not always in public. And- have you really never seen him when he's being just- soft? When he looks at me like I'm the most important person in the world.

Jon? Soft? Not really. [Although there was that time he walked in on a session with Peter...]

There is more to love than saving someone's life. You think because I think of you as a friend and not a lover means I wouldn't try to save your life?

But if he really is soft when you're alone together? Then I guess I have to take your word for it. I just worry about you, Martin. I know how good you can be at giving until there is nothing left to give.

Even if I'd ignored you or told you to fuck off for the better part of a year after you woke up from a six month coma?

...sorry, that's not fair of me.

And he is. Honestly, he's terrible at asking for things and worries too much about if he's taking advantage.

[alwayskayaking]

[That seems oddly specific and he's not quite sure how to answer it. So instead he doesn't.]

Worrying about and indirectly taking advantage of are two very different things.

[domainless]

Well he's not. We're fine, Tim.

[alwayskayaking]

Alright. Just know I'm here for you if that does ever change.

[domainless]

Yes, yes. I know.

Thank you.
