A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[Dia]

Hmmm, a new development...

I went and told H the hummingbird story, omitting that it was a teddy and letting him think it was just some random piece of hot pink laundry. He laughed about the hummingbird thinking it had found the biggest flower in the world.

H (as hummingbird): I'll eat for days!

Then he talked about the coding project he's been working on all weekend and made mention of the double bind he faces when trying to balance human interaction with his interest in personal projects.

Dia: You're an introvert. It's cool; I get it.

Then he glowed at me. It's this look we give each other, that's intimate and full of love. It's not quite a smoldering sexual look, but one can lead to the other fairly quickly. I let him glow for a bit, looking back into his eyes with a smile.

Dia: Let's watch a movie tonight. (Sounds non-sequitur when I write it, but he implied a desire for company in the human interaction stuff above.)

H: Good, let's do it. I'm in the mood for Labyrinth. Is that good for you?

Dia: Sure, sounds great.

As I moved to get up, he accidentally bumped my foot with his.

H (dismayed): Oh! I poked you; I'm sorry.

Dia (playfully): Do it again! Do it again!

H: Grab the chair.

Believe me, the head snap on the double take for that one darn near gave me whiplash. Did he just tell me to grab the chair?!??!

I would say things are heating up a bit. Is that how you folks are reading it?

Interesting as I've backed way off this week on seeking his attention or affection. I've been focusing on working on the issues instead.

Hmmmm......
