[ Well that's. That's good, considering what Mako actually brought Bolin over to tell him. That's probably a perfect segue, if Bolin is looking for an out, if Mako wants to let him take it.
Does he?
Because Bolin doesn't just keep things like this to himself unless they're really bothering him. Maybe that's not strictly true anymore: they're adults, Bolin is his own person, Mako isn't going to always know every detail of his life, and it isn't like he told Bolin about his own secret thoughts shoved firmly into the back of his head.
Huh.
Mako swallows and pulls the lid off a pot at the back of the stove full of bubbling rice porridge. Might as well dish up brunch while he talks about this still-very-hard stuff. ]
Kind... of. If I'm really honest with myself, the... being into guys stuff isn't really new. I just didn't, you know. I figured... I had other stuff to worry about, so I didn't think about it, and it wasn't like you could just do that so I ignored it whenever it came up but, uh.
[ Spirits this is still so hard to talk about, maybe he needs to talk about this more? Or... less? Never? Ugh. Mako clears his throat. ]
Let's just say. I met Wu, and I didn't know even then, and then when I admitted I was into him a lot of things about myself that didn't make sense suddenly did, but it wasn't like I didn't know before. I just didn't let myself know. If that... makes any sense at all.
