I can do honesty. [ It's easy to agree with Bela when that's what started all of this; James didn't need reciprocation (he wants it, of course he does), he needed Gabe and Bela to be aware of where he stood. To leave the next step in their hands. He echoes as much. ] 'S'what we're doing now, after all.

[ It says something that Bela is offering up a name when she doesn't have to. James like that about her, her awareness, her courtesy. ]     I, uh.     (that's a tough one, he knows he's capable of jealous, but)     Yes. I would like to know who's going to be visiting when we get take over that house in the 'Burbs.

[ There is truth to tease. ]

I don't have anything against boyfriend, honestly. I usually just say "we're together" or we could adopt koibito or paramour?
