Johnny gives Seth a sideways glance, a little surprised at the accuracy of the date. "Uh, yeah, I think," he says. "Seems like ages ago now. Fuck, it seems like I've been here forever, but it's really just been like... three months." He shakes his head. "Yeah, that was back when he was obviously into me, for like, you know, potential sex. And I was still kind of convincing myself I wasn't interested. Or maybe I wasn't yet. It's sort of hard to... I mean, was it like I always could have been into dudes and no one had really made it possible before, or was it just Gabe? I don't fucking know."

He shrugs. This kind of conversation doesn't come easy but somehow Seth makes it easier. "I can't really remember not being attracted to him?" he says. "I mean, I remember that dream, what he did for me-"

He shuts up briefly. He doesn't want to talk about Zagreus. Not right now. Especially not when there's a chance he could be out there now, with that - that thing. Nova paws at him gently, part comfort and part to remind him to keep talking. He hugs her closer, pulling one arm around himself, his hand going automatically to the shoulder where the snake-head bit him.

"I got into a bad spot and he got me out," he says lamely. "I remember him like, picking me up, sitting really close to me - I mean you know him, he's really handsy. It was sorta weird but sorta nice."

He's getting lost now, mired in his thoughts. God, since when does he talk so much about his fucking feelings? Ridiculous.

"I try not to overthink it," he mumbles, feeling embarrassed.
