[ That's not something Kurt expected to be hearing about. He looks over at Varian, eyebrows raised, then an answering smile breaks out on his face, pleased to have something good come out of this. ]

You did? Sehr gut. [ He lets out a breath, studying Varian a soft golden gaze. ] I'm glad he has you, Varian. He needs someone to.. understand him. More than I can offer him.

Yeah. I was... good. To be able to talk about it.

[It had been several months of repression. He's pretty pleased they managed to do it without setting themselves on fire or anything. He rubs the back of his neck, letting out a soft hum.]

I know. It's... it helps me, too, honestly. Not a lot of people get it. [Coming from a place of being an absolute monster- of wanting to be better than that.] We help each other a lot. I'm... uh. Really glad I got to meet him here.

[ Kurt's also glad they haven't managed to set anything on fire, knocking down any important structures or releasing any sorts of scientifically enhanced super-animals, or whatever else they might end up getting into given half the chance. But he's learning to trust Varian, as difficult as their initial encounters had been.

Smiling, he leans his hip against the counter, much more relaxed now they're on a more positive topic. ]

Well, let me know if you need any advice about managing more than one relationship. It can be.. difficult in some ways, but very rewarding. And lots of fun.

[Varian never makes it easy for anyone, the first time around. It's like learning to love some feral, rabid cryptid that crawls into your basement and spends the first month just hissing at you before it lets you pet it. He tends to have to grow on people.

Ah. His smile does fade a little though. ]

Oh, thank you but that's... not a thing, now. Ruby and I broke up. Not just because [he waves a hand in the air to try and encompass the everything going on that was his turbulent teenage existence] of the Fern thing. She was actually really understanding about that. More than she probably should have been.

[Because Ruby is ultimately a good person who'll shoulder everything that hurts her with a gentle "this is fine" which is where the breaks started to happen. They both had a tendency to shoulder too much and the weight of it was starting to crush them.]

We kinda realised we're better off as friends. We can support each other better like that, romance ebing added to the mix was making it... I think we were just hurting each other in tiny little ways and we didn't want that to turn into big ways further down the line.

[He picks at the bar a little, frowning. It has been his first relationship ever and while both he and Ruby were well aware it could never last forever, and that they did the best thing they could for one another- the loss still stung. He'd made two healthy life choices in a relatively short period of time and he's not sure how to feel about that.]

It was the right thing to do and I'm glad we can still be friends- and it feels... I don't know, good and sad at the same time? I guess we're just... figuring each other out again now. It's weird. I'm not great at people anyway, so. New stuff to learn. I guess.

[It's SUPER HARD being a teenager and he feels someone should have informed him of this. ]
