well he finally got his revenge. if he wanted to know what it looks like when someone purple actually flushes he's seeing it, going sort of. purplier red. fanning himself with a hand?]
but he's just going to look supremely flustered at that, even as he's very nervously going to try to look at molly - before looking away again. hmmmmmmm he hates this]
.... I'm a guy, you know...? And with everything here [the porn and the condoms and the sexy costumes] it's not like I can ignore all of it....
[he's a romantic but damn he's got needs, he's just been very good at ignoring them because he'd rather be respectful]
[look everyone teases mineo because he's easy to get riled up and he's cute about it but molly is doing his best to be sensitive right now because this is clearly a lot for one little guy and maybe someone should be nice to him about this?]
I know. [Just tilting his head a bit, because, he does respect all the little speeches mineo's given about waiting and everything, but ...] I understand your points and such about waiting-- Or, I don't actually, but I don't have to understand or whatnot to respect it. It's your decision and no one should really give you any lip about it. Certainly this place pushes all of us, and I can get wanting to give it the middle finger if you don't want to cross lines.
Still, you don't have to deny yourself things, you know. If you want them.
[molly just stays casual then, giving a half shrug, though mineo isn't looking at him.]
I don't think anyone's offered out of pity. [Well,] I've never offered out of pity. I just thought you'd have fun, is all.
[ spinning the flower ring on his finger a bit, idle. ]
You know my story. I feel like ... I missed quite a few years, and I've always felt like I'd probably go early. And I love experiencing things. Catching up on all that life stuff. Doing things that make me happy, doing things that make me feel good and not feeling guilty about it, doing things that make me a bit scared, trying things I shouldn't just to know what it's like. I do all the shit I do because it's new and exciting and fun and I want as much as I can while I can. Not everyone's built that way, I understand, but I do think a lot of people spend a lot of time avoiding things that'd make them happy for silly reasons sometimes.
[ . . . . well. it makes sense. and mineo is clearly thinking about it, turning it over in his head before he looks back at molly and offers a smile.]
.... there's something that I don't want to let this place take from me - even if I know it's pretty romantic and can come off as strange. But I think it'd be nice, if I could meet the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with, and say to them.... "I worked really hard to make sure I could give you, and only you, as much of me as possible." When I fall in love, I wanna give them my everything.
But -
You're right, about other things. I've learned a lot about what's important to me here, and there are some things I'm more willing to let go of, for my sake - or for the sake of important people.
I like hearing what you have to say, Molly - but I always do. So that's not a surprise.

pulling the ring off his finger, grabbing mineo's hand and pressing the ring back into it.]
