Me: Okay Ruthie. You need to stop thinking about him and the impossible. You both live almost 10 hours away, and you have 3- well 2, cuz lets face it, it'll be a miracle if one of them notices you, crushes that live right here here and one of them likes you back.
Brain: But Hiiiim-
Me: I'm putting my foot down here. He may like you, but like you both concluded, it's hard for you both to do a long distance even though you trust each other and you guys don't want to fuck up the strong friendship.
Brain: ...'Kay...

Last Night
Me and Friend Crush: *FaceTimeing each other*
Friend: So I'm trying to remember, but how tall are you again?
Me: I dunno. 5 foot, 5'1". Somewhere between those two.
Friend: *laugh* Somewhere between the whole whopping inch?
Stomach: *gets butterflies*
Brain: His laugh~- Wait, Nooo!!
Me: *giggles* Yup!
Friend: Wow, you are a smol jellybean!
Me: Indeedy, but that's what makes me all the cuter! *smiles*
Friend: *laughs* Well you're not wrong there. You are pretty cute.
Me: *blushies*
Brain: ...Boi, you're not making this "stop like you" thing easy.
