I came here to meet you!       ( text | action | etc. )
... I want you to get in the way of my life.

It's both, sometimes it might be an even split between selfless and selfish but at times the ratio might change.

But I'm not selfless, there is something I want out of our arrangement too.

good. dont lose sight of that
not that i think this will happen... but if something ever comes between what i want and what you want, then you should always put your own goals first

[ kaiser like: "assert your ego or whatever the fuck"... ]

[adrifts]

I am not too worried about that happening, but I will remember this, and if you break-up with me because of this, I hope we can still be friends still.

i wouldnt do something like that
lets only break up if both of us mutually agree on it and leave on good terms, mk?

[ no comment on being friends. kaiser don't have those. :( ]

[adrifts]

Alright, that sounds fair to me.

[ she will not push the friend thing today. ]

that we think alike on these things is one of the things i like about you

[ normal people would generally push back on the idea of this a bit? like, can people usually choose to part on good terms if there's something that merits a separation? but he's glad they're on the same page here. ]

thats why i can say with certainty that i wouldnt hold it against you if you chose your goals above mine
im sure id understand why, and thats what really matters, doesnt it?

[adrifts]

That same is true for you. I would understand, and that—well, I would surely miss you but ultimately choosing your goals above everything else is who you are.

It's part of why I like you.

having a likeminded ally is a valuable thing, isnt it?
but only "part of"? 🥺
