"Yeah, well." There was a whole lot of 'yeah, well's going around. "I'm not used to liking people, the only other person I ever like-liked was you." Mao let out an embarrassed laugh, "So, I dunno, it was weird to tell you, I guess."
He huffed a little when James told him not to tell Katie things. "Unlike you, I'm not a hit with females, I kind of don't really have any lady friends to tell girly-gay shit to." There was Josie, but Mao didn't feel like they were close enough to talk relationship things together. "Though, I guess I kinda made friends with Lizzie. We cried all over each other, even. ...Not my best moment..." Crying was not a thing Mao liked to admit to, but he had lost James once over keeping secrets, he wasn't about to go and lose him again.
