KAI: Are you okay?
MATT: Yeah.
KAI: You sure?
MATT: Yeah.
KAI: Come on. Be honest.
MATT: Why don’t you just say what you wanna say.
KAI: Fine. You weren’t very friendly to Vass today.
MATT: I knew you were gonna say that.
KAI: So, what’s your problem with them?
MATT: I don’t have a problem with them. But I’ve never met anyone like Vass before. I didn’t know what to say.
KAI: You could’ve at least said “well done” a few times. I’ve told you lots about them. You knew what to expect.
MATT: It’s one thing to hear about them and to see people like them online, but when they turned up wearing that tank top and rainbow leggings, it was a bit much for me.
KAI: Look at how friendly Spider Girl and Obi were.
MATT: Of course you’d think your posh new boyfriend behaved perfectly.
KAI: I said SG *and* Obi. I’m not comparing you to Obi. I just hoped you’d be nicer to Vass.
MATT: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you or Vass. Did Vass say something?
KAI: No, they didn’t say anything, but I didn’t bring it up. I didn’t wanna draw any attention to how weird you were being.
MATT: So, Vass didn’t say they thought I was rude?
KAI: No, they didn’t say anything about you. They said they had fun.
MATT: Okay. Good. I’m sorry I was weird. I’m glad Vass had fun. I’ll make more of an effort with them next time.
KAI: You’d better.
MATT: I will. I promise.
KAI: Okay. Good.
MATT: It’s just hard for me to see someone so comfortable with themselves.
KAI: I know. But it’s still no excuse to be rude.
MATT: I know. I really am sorry.
KAI: By the way, Obi isn’t my boyfriend. We’re just seeing each other.
MATT: But do you want him to be your boyfriend?
KAI: Yes, I do. I really do.
