[Sincere] As relationship anarchists though, even though we understand the homophobia of calling obvious lovers friends we don't entirely hate it. Labels are, after all, just labels. What people agree to and what actions etc they choose to agree to is up to them.
For example one of our partners and us call each other both friends and partners, so the agreements and what we're okay with are more important than the label, at least to us.
Same! There's also the reality that, as more of us divert from Christian normalcy, these guys could literally just be friends. Intimacy is a beautiful, comfortable thing, and it shouldn't necessarily be restricted to the lover/s if the urge to snuggle and kiss is there.
There is the factor of feeling like you're not enough for the person, feeling insignificant, but sometimes the other person feels they need something different, and that's okay. It doesn't mean you're any less important to them.
Love and passion is wonderful and shouldn't be suppressed!*
*with the obvious exceptions involving mental trauma - huge maturity gap, under 18/over 20, close blood relation etc.

who lived together...
so what you're saying is they were room mates?

Thank you. I am bad at it and I'll try to do better. I posted multiple things at once and fell asleep, which was a terrible idea.

No worries! It was meant more tongue-in-cheek but I'm bad at remembering tone markers

The worst part is that I even saved the source as the title of the file. Dumbass 3 am me 😞

What's the alternative? Not immediately posting silly Yuri memes? Can't have that 😀
