I know I'm better off now, but it didn't feel that way at the time, and like...I didn't think I could let any of that out? None of the anger or--or any of it? But you noticed something was weird with me and got pissed off as soon as you knew why, and it was-I dunno, man, just really...I felt really justified? If that makes sense?
[Jake keeps gesturing with his hands the entire time he speaks, like he's trying to physically give shape to what that time was like.]
Like it was okay to...not be okay, all the time. I didn't need to put up a front for everyone, you know?
[He exhales before returning to a more casual tone. Heavy stuffs out of the way now.]
Well, they'll have to get in line either way! [Jake slings an arm around Rich's shoulders.]
Because I've gotta get to know my bro better for now! Seriously dude, like, do you have hobbies and shit the squip was repressing? You've barely told me anything about yourself since all that, come on.
[If there is any implication of Rich crushing on him, he's trying to ignore it. Not because of anything complicated, just because when he was doing some research into all this sexuality stuff he saw a lot of people annoyed that when they came out to their friends, said friends got all 'So does that mean you want to date me?'. Jake doesn't want to be one of those people.]
