LOSING MY MIND BECAUSE I HAD A DREAM ABOUT THAT?

before i post the drawing to your other ask, let me explain the dream (the dream was obviously very vague lol, but this is a complex explanation)

kevin was in a relationship with a girl who was very mean and forced a lot of toxic masculinity onto kevin knowing he was trans. the communication wasnt too far, but caught in a loop of manipulation, he felt bad for wanting to leave.

streber and kevin used to be friends in middleschool, but after a fight (still need to work on what fight happened) they split off. eventually, kevin moved away to where spooky month takes place.

streber then moves there, (because of college) and slowly their friends join them!!!!! wahoo!!!! :3 the hauntiest house gang is together! and nothing can go wrong here! after all, while the breakup with ethan was rough, (sideplot that i like to have canon in my brain: ethan and streber are exes, but still good friends) strebers a bestselling author and happily living in a small house on his own. perfectly fine, right?

that is, until kevin and streber meet again. turns out, kevin moved to the town that streber went to college! still on not good terms and refusing to make up ever since they were little, this forms an even rougher relationship. streber and kevin get into fights (very rarely turning physical because thats lame) and it slowly just turns into playful bickering. i mean, why are they fighting anyway? something stupid caused them to fall apart when they were kids. maybe they should just give up this dumb constant fight already. (also angst later because due to kevin being emotionally abused by his girlfriend, his self esteem is HORRIBLE. not to mention a lot of insecurities that streber accidentally picks on)

one day, streber is out on a walk, needing to clear his head when he finds kevin out in an alley way, sobbing. turns out, his girlfriend broke up with him. (note: i dont remember in the dream if his girlfriend broke up with him, or kevin just walked out after an argument and his girlfriend yelling at him. if so, streber most likely helped kevin with the courage to end the relationship. this wouldve happened later into their friendship.) despite the two having a mixed relationship, streber wants to comfort him, and does so. streber offers to drive kevin home after he calms down, and kevin agrees. (thankfully, kevin and his girlfriend didnt live together.)

after this, the bickering almost completely stops. the two decide it might be nice to catch up on eachothers life and get to know eachother better as their friendship only lasted like. a few months lol

this leads them to getting closer over the span of a few months, and while they arent dating, they do get progressivly flirty and a bit touchy. it does get a bit bad when streber finds out kevin is touch starved, and very sensitive to touch, which is a big development in their relationship that inevitably leads them even closer. streber is patient, and being pretty icky about a lot of physical touch themself, they dont mind at all.

^^^^^ during this, kevin also opens up about his girlfriend (and some of his past) sharing his horrible experience with her. during this, kevin explains how the bickering actually hurt him, and streber profusely apologizes, wishing he didnt target kevin like that. after making it up in the weeks, their trust grows stronger.

eventually, they confess to eachother when streber is spending the night over, and they makeout in streber's bed, sharing clothes and being overwhelmingly happy about all of it.

when streber wakes up, he hears kevin taking a shower, and the night hits him back, being super overjoyed hes now dating someone who hes had a crush on for so long. while in the shower, streber sees kevin's phone ring/a text appears (i dont rememeber which) and its his (now ex) girlfriend. this immediately causes streber to get angered, feeling as if his trust was betrayed. though, he calms down, trying to make sure he doesnt explode immediately or make any assumptions.

streber brings it up to him, and kevin seems weirded out, trying to understand why they looked at the text/phone number, but gets where streber is coming from, theyre dating now after all. streber explains that they obviously can see a text/call on a phone, kevin's phone was right on his dresser. kevin obviously understands.

kevin explains how recently (like a week ago) he began speaking to his ex again (she guilt-tripped him :( streber gets uncomfortable about this, knowing how emotionally abusive his ex was. he then begs for kevin to block her again, but reassures streber that its okay, and that shes changed.

streber tells him that if she asks to date again, tell her no, and if she persists even when kevin explains that he's now dating streber, to immediately block her. if he doesnt want to do that, then if the persisting continues, to block contact.

kevin reluctantly sighs, but nods yes. though, he feels like this is all his fault. streber reassures him that its not his fault, and that she constantly manipulated him to feel like that.

they slowly get better into the relationship, going on their first date in the first week, but kevin starts to seem more stressed. by the first few weeks, kevin seems a bit too closed off. its then revealed his ex keeps trying to get back with him, and the two visited eachother, and she tried making a move despite him explicitly saying no.

okay this is turning very long, but to sum it up, kevin removes contact and tries to go as far as to say it to her face that he isnt interested, and hes sick of her shit.

boom!!!!! okay now streber and kevi n makeout,. again ytyayyyyf

their relationship gets really smooth from then on, and kevin gradually heals from the damage that his ex did.

i am so tired why did i wirte all of that
