//an: the rest of this will most likely be in alex's pov unless i say differently, so just a heads up

turtleboi: i found a counselor that might be able to help us

justyouwait: i said no

justyouwait: we both love each other

justyouwait: what more do we have to figure out?

turtleboi: why do we keep having petty fights?

turtleboi: why do we not talk to each other for a while after them?

turtleboi: why does it feel like our relationship is only valid when things are perfect for you?

turtleboi: hm?

justyouwait: i hate therapy

turtleboi: this isn't therapy. it's counselling

justyouwait: they're synonyms

justyouwait: look you don't understand therapy

turtleboi: you think i don't?

justyouwait: well i mean what trauma have you suffered that you would need to?

turtleboi: oH BOY WHERE SHOULD I START

turtleboi: MAYBE WITH MY MOTHER DYING AFTER GIVING BIRTH TO MY SISTER

turtleboi: OR

turtleboi: THE FACT THAT I HAVEN'T CAME OUT TO MY FAMILY OUT OF FEAR THAT THEY'LL NEVER ACCEPT ME

turtleboi: MAYBE IT'S THE ANXIETY I DEVELOPED

turtleboi: BUT PLEASE GO ON ABOUT HOW I'VE JUST BEEN SITTING ON MY ASS IN MY WEALTHY PRIVILEGED MANSION

justyouwait: babe you know i didn't mean that

turtleboi: then why the fuck did you say it

turtleboi: you're a real dick sometimes

turtleboi: you know what?

turtleboi: let's not do couple's counselling because we're not a couple anymore

justyouwait: john you're overreacting

justyouwait: don't do this over text

justyouwait: i made a mistake i'm sorry

turtleboi: save it bitch

justyouwait: please

justyouwait: i want this to work out

justyouwait: i want us to work out

turtleboi: prove it

"Just get him flowers or something," Burr suggested.

After noticing my obvious unease, he had gathered Jefferson, Madison, and Theodosia to help devise a plan that was sure to save my relationship that I had collectively ruined.

I finally disclosed who I was dating to Jefferson and Madison, deciding they would be an asset to the team.

"Not extravagant enough," Jefferson pointed out.

"I agree," Theodosia added, giving a side glare to Burr.

"But he does love nature," I pointed out, "he even has some kind of flower as his phone background."
