What’s worse is how easily Isaac and Andrew keep giving in.

Anymore eye-rolls today and Andrew would give himself a headache. “I did not try to hide that I’m bi. I just don’t blurt it out in casual conversation. And you were so into the whole Kirk/Spock thing, I didn’t want to hurt your feelings.”
