Is anyone, on BARiTONES? Yvette and I have both been variously undercover so long we struggle with being genuine, we're a mess of betrayal and abandonment issues, and generally tend to shove aside pursuits that aren't directly in the path of our goals.
But there's no reason we need to be beholden to the "traditional sense" of anything. Call it what you want, but—he cares about you, so why not let him?

In any case, I'm not stopping him from doing whatever he wants, I just don't think what we have falls into the realm of "friendship".

I don't really know. I'm content with where we're at for now.

Well then. Make sure and have fun.
