Friend So you're an asexual?

Me Well, labels are kind of boring and a bit pointless in the long run but yeah, I suppose that's the closest I can get at the moment

Friend But you're empathic and understand why people want to be in relationships

Me Yes

Friend And the film you made is romantic

Me Yes

Friend And you ship characters

Me Yes

Friend Huh

Me Sorry I suppose that might be a bit confusing for you

Friend No, I actually find it really sweet

Friend That you obviously believe in love but you don't feel the need or desire to apply it to yourself

Friend Like, you have no ulterior motive except wanting to see other people happy

Friend That's cool

Me ...

Me ...

Me I am going to hug you so hard that I will puncture your lungs with your own ribs

Friend ... thanks?
