[ Hopefully that dead-eyed stare and moment or two of quiet that hung between them carry the weight that France does not believe what is coming out of Germany's mouth at all. He wasn't a deeply religious man but he is praying for patience. Germany didn't do emotions well. What kind of man would he be if he didn't show him the consideration he deserves? ]
Any of it... [ He feels a twinge of foreboding. ] The reason I asked you about the situation is that it matters. The way you interact with someone you're casually intimate with is different from someone you have feelings for.
[ Taking a deep breath, his face screws up and he looks contemplative. He needed to word this in a way that Germany could soak in and actually use. ]
If there is a low level of commitment, for example, a casual encounter, you aren't as obligated to follow through. Two people enjoying one another's company is all it is. Part amicably but do not be crassly dismissive about it. Don't act strange about it when you see them next.
Who knows? You might have repeated meetings. Fantastic as far as networking if you ask me.
[ But, France doesn't think that Germany is the type to parade his inexperience around with many casual people, despite having drunkenly made out with him back at the house party. ]
However, if you have feelings for this person... [ He makes a vague gesture and sound at the back of his throat that belies a man that knows UST when he sees it. ] I've found that honestly communicating those feelings is the best way to go. I imagine that will be your biggest realistic barrier Germany.
Hypothetically speaking though, whatever you do, don't become intimate with someone you care about and then shut them out. It's rude. It's weird. We don't want weird!
okay now i'm done trolling 2/2
