I can't say his insecurities won't make him a Noodle Brain again.
But he does get it now. He's so used to anyone he hits with that blunt force affection just eventually giving in. Especially when it worked so well with me. He just needed a proper reality check.
Hopefully he'll just need a reminder if he starts getting too overbearing again.
True. But pushing when you were clear is also unfair of him too.
He doesn't. I made very sure that he was okay with it. If he lied to me that much it would be, one, very impressive of his poker face, and two, extremely upsetting and I hope he knows better, especially when it was supposed to be an open and honest talk.
I keep trying to think of ways that I could be closer to him, or at least try to, that would be comfortable. And I asked him if he wanted to bed me because it was a form of closeness I might accept more readily. He didn't address that really, but I suspect it might be true. It is for me. Shame that's off the table for now, I have no idea what Wukong would make of that and things there are fragile still.
I would not be surprised. He asked if I wanted to bed him while being very convinced I wasn't in love with him. He knew I was physically attracted to him, but was sure I didn't have those feelings for him.
I'm pretty sure it'll still be on the table for some time, so there's that.
All else being equal, I'd let him ask me to bed. I don't even know whether Wukong would care, in truth. He might not. But he might, and at some point I have to prioritize. If I messed things up with Wukong over basically a fling I'd be the biggest fool to ever live.
But that also means keeping MK more or less at arm's length for the indefinite future, and I don't like that either.
You keep saying that, but I've seen no evidence of it. MK is the exception. He's who Wukong listens to and respects and puts down his walls for. That's what makes the prospect so dicey.
No way am I asking Wukong about it. No way in hell. I'd sooner just go for it and take my chances, and that's not all that likely. Maybe if there was precisely the right timing.

Re: After All The Things
If he really doesn't care about us screwing around, then good. For a number of reasons.

Re: After All The Things
But he probably would at least give you a straight answer if you asked.
