seeagreatergoodSo things got awkward and Auggie moved his stuff back out of the Stark household into Milliways.
And he's been totally fine with it. Honestly. It's been kind of a relief not to have to keep such a close eye on himself the last three or four days. Milliways is kind of anxiety-inducing, but less anxiety inducing than living in a house with those two young men.
Of course, he misses the easy camaraderie. But it's not like this is the first time he valued safety over friendship.

"Okay, so here's the thing. I know it could get bad, I know there's a reason why older people having relationships with teenagers is generally not a good idea. But I just... that kind of problem doesn't come out of nowhere, y'know? If I was gonna have trouble with that, I'd be having it with Obie, and I'm—not. And he doesn't really give a shit if he's manipulating me. So I don't think there's a huge danger here."

"Look, I haven't been in a serious, honest relationship since before Iraq. I haven't had a relationship with a guy in longer than that, I haven't even done anything with a guy since I was blinded, and I've never had a relationship with two people at once. I don't know what I want. I guess I'd like to be able to touch you without feeling like everything is going to, to break, but I honestly don't know if I can do that."

"I guess that leaves us at me still being the most freaked out person in the room, though, so for all practical purposes we might be back where we started."
