sebmatthewsmith the SHOWMANCE..too pure for this world

i sigh at the candid picture, looking at all of the comments who know nothing about what their real relationship is like. yeah, they're "too pure for this world", if being pure means forcing your girlfriend into things she doesn't want to do and trying to fat shame her when she's literally only ninety pounds as is-

"i think you do know what i'm talking about, my dude," red says knowingly, looking at my phone and back at my face.

"why am i like this?" i groan, turning off my phone. red unpauses his COD match, continuing to play while he gives advice.

"it's because you didn't set boundries, bro."

"i don't know what that means, red."

"as a friend, you can watch movies with nini, but you can't cuddle with her while watching them. it's basic logic. you can take her out to eat, but you have to split the check."

"but-"

"no kisses, no picnics, no tickle-fights, no couples costumes, and never taylor swift or adele."

"no t-swift?!"

"never t-swift."

"but it's on our playlist-"

"never t-swift, ricky! especially no fearless or speak now era. red and reputation, mm..depends on the situation."

"but her and i-"

"no concerts with just the two of you, no music, no playlists, no dancing in the rain, no shared articles of clothing-which i know you guys do, so don't even try to lie-no nothing."
