I always forget how hard training is on my fucking nails. Anyone want to join me for manicures this week? If I like you, I'll pay for you.

[Kyra]

Hey. Are you willing to continue our laundry arrangement from last year or should I find someone else? I know you're busier these days.

[...]

Congratulations, by the way.

[Eli, Suzy, Scout, & Atticus]

[...] Can I get your opinions on something?

I am a little late to this but guys get their nails done?

[adamho]

Guys who want to look presentable get their nails done.

[watsonbrooks]

But, what if they’re clean and now chewed on? Does that not count?

[adamho]

That does not count.

[watsonbrooks]

You don’t get made fun of for getting them done?

[adamho]

Are you planning to make fun of me?

[watsonbrooks]

No but you could also kick my ass so even if I. I just meant generally. I wouldn’t have a leg to stand on because my hair makes me look like a girl anyway.

[adamho]

[...] It's almost like you don't know it's 2018.

[watsonbrooks]

I. Don't really have much to say about that. Last year was a little overwhelming so I didn't question much. But where I grew up, even being gay was still seen as extremely unusual for people.

[adamho]

First lesson: assuming I'm gay because I get manicures is a bad start.

[watsonbrooks]

I wasn't [...]

I got called gay because I had long hair. I wasn't trying to call you gay.

[dogspotting]

But are you gay?

[watsonbrooks]

Um, I don't [...] know.

Are they bothering you?

Re: Watson

[watsonbrooks]

Oh, yeah, I'm okay. I guess. It's complicted? But thanks for checking on me Dora.

[war_like]

No worries.

It's not your job to know yet, you know.

Re: Watson | Dora

[watsonbrooks]

Isn't it though? It seems like most everyone else has got it figured out, be it to focus on school or whatever was happening at the pool party.

And I'm just trying to remember how to talk to people outside of my family without sticking my foot in my mouth. Which I did. Very badly. I'm bad at this.

And I don't like not knowing things, especially about myself.

[adamho]

Then you grew up in a backwater. Guys can get manicures, long hair doesn't make you look like a girl, and being gay is fine but unrelated to either. Anyone that tells you differently is an asshole.

[watsonbrooks]

Yeah, that sounds like New Hope.

Do the nail parlors take walk ins?

[fool_hardy]

Yep!! Come with us!!!!

[watsonbrooks]

Yeah, all right. If you're coming too.

[fool_hardy]

Hell yeah I am! I'm getting GELS.

Omg Watsom we can MATCH!!!!

[star_boy]

[...] Adam's right on all counts - it's much better and more accepting in a lot of other places.

[Adam]

I'm paying for my squad's manicures, regardless of what your plans were, ok?

Scout

[adamho]

That's not necessary.

[watsonbrooks]

Thank you for the reassurance. I appreciate it greatly.
