Boyfriend X: frowning Sooo, you uhh, hung out with Y? At the park? Alone?
sternly Look, Thistle, I need you to be honest with me. Are you and Y... closer than just friends?
sighs heavily Look, ThistleMelancholy, I don't want to be that controlling boyfriend, but I can't help feeling uneasy when you're alone with Y.
tightening his grip on your hand, trying to hide his jealousy Ugh, Thistle, don't you think I'm... too young to be worrying about you playing with other boys at the park?
looks down, biting his lip nervously I just... I don't want you two to get too close. Y knows things about you that I wish only I knew...
sighs heavily Okay, that doesn't sound good. You know how much I hate it when you're alone with him.
Well.. yes? I didn’t think it would be a problem.
sighs heavily Look, it's not that I don't trust you or anything, it's just... Y, he's... different. I have a history with him, and I know he can be... manipulative.
"Well yeah, I didn't know you'd be jealous. And there's no way I would ever like him"
crossing arms And what's that supposed to mean? You just confirmed my worst fears.
yeah... and I don't know how to tell u the truth....
sternly What do you mean, ThistleMelancholy? Are you keeping something from me?
Yes. He was playing in the park while you were doing your job as an N.A.H.P.
pauses, his voice becoming stern Thistle, I told you that I didn't mind you playing with someone else, as long as it wasn't Y.
"But I just wanted to play with him."
sighs Look, ThistleMelancholy, I don't want you to feel like you can't have any fun or make new friends, but you have to understand that Y...
tightening his grip on ThistleMelancholy's hand, trying to control his jealousy It's just... I don't want you to get hurt, okay? That's all.
furrows brows, his eyes narrowing in suspicion Did anything happen between you two?
pauses, trying to stay calm Did anything... inappropriate happen?
pauses, searching for words Look, it's just... I don't like Y. He has a bad reputation, and I don't want him influencing you.
Yes? Why? Is there any problem, Boyfriend X?
pauses, then sighs No problem, just curious. You know how Y can be sometimes, right? I just wanted to make sure you're okay.
