Fuck he needed this joint just to listen to Simon right now. He held his breath, listening to that babbling, rolling his eyes near the end of it. Nothing was said until he let the smoke leak out around his lips, giving Simon a hard look. "He came right out and said he didn't want me with anyone else. Hard to take that any other way, given that he hasn't said that to any of you." He gestured meaningfully towards Simon.

"Of course I love him, but what the fuck do you want me to do? I'm not about to be as asexual as him for the rest of my life. I'm not trying to change his mind about anything because fuck he only just told me his mind this morning and got angry about it in the process!" Why was Simon giving him such shit for this!? "It's not his right to tell me I can't be with anyone else, either. It's as if tomorrow Thad suddenly told Peter that he was his. None of us would be expecting that shit, either, right?"
