emily and me: childhood friends (i did plays, her mom owned a theatre). we were flirty as kids until it became too much, i ghosted. her mom gave me her # in high school and said i should text bc she missed me, but we both had monog partners at the time

in college i text and propose reconnect, we start hanging out, i think she’s incredibly boring but ive been trying to be more social. she on the other hand is very into me and constantly wants to do sexual stuff, which is kinda just shrug fine w me

i also meet kasey around this time and i poorly explain my non-monogamy to her, to which she reasonably interprets as me having no affectionate interest in her whatsoever. when we hang out i tell her about emily (mostly complaining about how boring it is, explicitly comparing to kasey and how

much more i enjoy her company). i’m hard crushing on kasey at this point and try to cuddle and be close as much as i can, one time i kissed her forehead on impulse and she let it go. she would hug me before leaving and i always really looked forward to that,, she was so smol and my arms fit so nice

anyway at some times i could tell kasey was jealous when i talked about emily and i was confused, we talked about the brainworms years later and now it’s a meme
