holy shit lmao

TELL ME HOW REIM IS FEELING ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH BREAK AND SHARON AS OF LIKE THIS MOMENT MIDTHREAD

[chew_toy]

I am afeared of myself.

HE. THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE HARDER. HE DID EXPECT SHARON TO PURSUE BREAK BUT HE SORT OF THOUGHT MAYBE HE WOULD HAVE TO REASSURE HER FIRST AND ALSO DID NOT EXPECT THE LOVE CONFESSION TO HAPPEN DIRECTLY ON TOP OF HIM. he was also half-worried Break would lie and reject her but he's less surprised that went the way it did since Break is a weenie--

he actually really wants them to have alone time with each other because he feels like he's a bit in the way of them catching up when they keep derailing to pay attention to him. i am uncomfortable when we are about me? tho in fairness it's not that he wants or expects to extricate himself from the dynamic longterm [unlike some people] but like I ALREADY GOT SO MUCH TIME WITH YOU BOTH ON MY OWN YOU GUYS SHOULD ALSO GET THAT WITH EACH OTHER

he would absolutely never like directly say this in front of her because he knows she would beat the shit out of him but he DOES still think of himself as second to Break in Sharon's heart, and also fully believes that the only reason she is in love with him is because he orchestrated it. neither of these things actually bother him! he does not think that makes her feelings for him less real or less valuable (and on the contrary the fact he was able to get her to fall for him is extremely gratifying). but also it was nice to hear her say that her feelings for him didn't go poof the moment she saw Break again because even though he was PRETTY CONFIDENT they would stay solid there was still like. a little tiny chance. you know. it's hard to predict a contingency for "her dead first love is suddenly alive again." but he is glad too that she completely trusted he would understand her feelings and intentions

he STILL FEELS A LITTLE GUILTY TOWARDS BREAK FOR MARRYING SHARON LMAO even though like. the entire premise of Break feeling left behind is wrong. he still does not really know how to tell him that nothing about their marriage is about moving on from Break whatsoever. but it's pretty residual now since it seems like they've at least come to enough of an understanding about how much they both care about Break that he's given up and isn't that the important part here. he has not yet had to think about if this changes his relationship with Break in any way and as far as he's concerned it doesn't. they are very good friends. it's nice.

all in all he has some concerns, including the ones he brought up about doing badly at games on purpose, but also in like. he's kind of already coming to terms on his own with the idea that they probably only have a few years or so with Break before his old man body gives out and he eats it again, and he just wants to make the best of the time they have until that happens or until he and Sharon have to leave. but for the most part he's just very happy. very sated. finally they kissed. everything is right in the world. if he thinks about this hard enough he might cry but in a good way. HE LOVES THEM BOTH A LOT... HE IS JUST VERY HAPPY... he honestly hasn't even fully processed the relationship update and he's probably going to kind of explode when his brain completely catches up with what's going on

reverse.

BREAK IS FULL OF FUCK

METAPHORICALLY

he's kind of dying, also metaphorical let's ignore the literal in this case, because he really truly does not understand how he's not fucking this up for them. BUT SINCE IT HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY INSISTED THAT HE IS NOT he is determined not to sideline Reim.

hilariously his initial confession/response to sharon's confession was... supposed to be a platonic admission of loving them but he really fucked that one up and it's not like their read on it is WRONG. but since he's committing to the non-platonic reading he is hoping Reim understands it also applies to him. he suspects Reim does not get it.

so that's why he's being an obnoxious KISS YOUR WIFE gremlin until he can man the fuck up enough to kiss reim himself.

because yeah he is INCREDIBLY shy about romancing them actually. he doesn't want to fuck this up, most of all, so he is losing his tiny gremlin mind.

it will also occur to him in a bit that he should maybe stop banging Roy asap but that will take a bit to sink in.

REIM ON BUGBEAR

[chew_toy]

if he was asked if he would rather be on Phoenix or Bugbear Reim would frankly be a little mortified that his answer is Phoenix because Bugbear seems SO MUCH EASIER TO WORK WITH. EVERYONE HE'S TALKED TO HAS BEEN SUCH NICE POLITE YOUNG MEN OR VICIOUS. he doesn't entirely consider Vicious a part of Bugbear since it seems like that's just not what Vicious is about but also he likes Vicious now anyway. the members of Phoenix aren't unhelpful or hard to work with by any means [besides Liontari] but they are definitely more colorful in Reim's experiences of each team so far lmao. I think there are still a couple of members of Bugbear Reim hasn't met but he likes everyone he has met and feels pretty welcome in their space tbh. they seem like such pleasant nice folks. Loki is a bright and energetic kid. he's worried about Wataru

I don't think he really has a sense yet of Bugbear's group dynamic though except that Roy clearly likes Break and gets along with him (but not how much)

what does Break generally intend to do from here do you think
