Elmer: hey crutch

Crutchie: Sup el

Elmer: I thought we were doing lunch a few weeks ago but the thing fell through I'm sorry

Crutchie: it's all good you explained everything really well
Crutchie: but what's going on? You're far more quiet than usual

Elmer: I just have a lot on my mind yk

Crutchie: yeah I get that

Elmer: oh I forgot are you off rn? I'm sort of doing this at work lol

Crutchie: uh yeah I was just editing a video what's up

Elmer: well I have something to tell you. And it's really hard to say and I'm still not sure if it'll even work for me but I'm just curious and I'm hoping it feels right and I want to do this

Crutchie: okay. What is it?

Elmer: could you try using they/them pronouns for me?

Crutchie: sure
Crutchie: is that what you want?

Elmer: yeah! For now at least

Crutchie: yeah I can do that no problem

Elmer: thank you so much

Crutchie: of course you're my best friend we probably have the best platonic love ever

Elmer: lol you're right
Elmer: thank you again

Crutchie: don't worry about it. Love you El

Elmer: love you Crutch
