"Mess this up?
You're beyond okay with me right now. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't tell you anything. I love you too, so I want us to be on the same page."
He waves a hand.
"Forget about telling me. The point isn't transparency, it's making sure you feel like you can talk to me."

He doesn't want to push Ted away. He knows his past is... very heavy. But he also wants to be honest and vulnerable with Ted.
Relationships are so hard. He feels his breath quiver.
Maybe he's not...
❝ ... I... I love you a lot, Ted. I don't want to mess this up. ❞

Ted moves closer to him.
"It's not that you can't talk about me.
You just can't switch to the concept of talking about me or something that isn't actually a subject to talk about.
Because it delays my ability to shift your attention after I cause that feeling."

/ He's done something wrong. Ted is mad at him. /
Ted isn't mad at him. He's not. He's setting a boundary. Rose takes a deep breath to try to calm his mind. Everything is fine. Everything...

"No, you don't. I mean, you do.
But that's not why you said that. It's the timing of it. You said something similar the first day we met."
He brushes a hand against his arm reassuringly.

A smile crosses his lips as he leans forward.
❝ I want to learn everything I can about you. I want to know what makes you tick. What makes you... you. ❞
Another bite is taken of his food.
❝ ... sorry. That- was a bit off topic. You were saying- about better answers and such? ❞

He sets his own glass down, scratching his cheek.
❝ Oh... I don't know. I don't really break my routines. I can't afford to. ❞
A shrug.
❝ I just... keep going, I guess. ❞
To change the subject, he twirls some pasta onto his fork and offers it to Ted.
❝ Here! The pesto is divine. ❞
