Private - Vanya | Derek;

[duelo]

[ So that...is probably that. Derek has gotten used to the fact that Vanya is incredibly anxious about pretty much everything, but he likes to think that they're close enough that if she wants something, she'll say so and mean it. The fact that she asks to forget about this whole thing suggests to him that she wants to forget about this whole thing. So, the dumb little tiff with Diego is literally over nothing because if he does feel something for her, it isn't reciprocated. Which is fine, that's actually...in a way, better for him, anyway, right? Everyone around him gets hurt and he doesn't want Vanya to get hurt, so if she's keeping him at an arm's length, that's good for her, right?

That's two women now he met in the cities and befriended who let him down gently because they weren't interested and Derek thinks that he's either lost whatever it was that made him attractive to potential partners beyond his looks somewhere along the way or...maybe he's just not allowed to have the best of both worlds. Maybe he can have a friend or he can have sex, but he can't be friends with a romantic partner and, since Derek doesn't really do unattached sex, he can either look forward to more eventually one-sided relationships like the one he had with Braeden, or he can just...try to break a Guinness World Record with his dry spell or something.

He cares about Vanya a lot and he's not going to lose her over something he doesn't even fully know he feels right now. What's the point in that? He'd been missing her and now she's here, so what's the point of fucking it up trying to suss out if there's something more to this than meets the eye, especially if she's not interested in doing that?

There's not. So that's that. He'll drop it.

Running a hand over his mouth and chin, willing himself to drop it, Derek nods. ]

Yeah, okay, then. Consider it forgotten.

[ He pauses. As much as he'd like to leave this conversation with that, he can't; it's Vanya and she'll spend the rest of the day trying to figure out what she said wrong or why he's mad at her, even though he isn't, or something. ]

I still owe you an activity to go with that lunch. Did you decide what you want to do?
