Oh, easily. You weren't leaving because you just didn't want to be there, you were leaving because other people were being assholes. AND. You could have tried to act differently to get them to shut the fuck up, it usually doesn't work, but people try it all the time, and you didn't. That shows commitment.

He can be more rational about it. and then help take it to her.
do you know how much it means, that you thought of him? I really hope you already know how much it means cause I don't think I can tell you accurately
no subject
I want to say it's no big deal but I know that's not true. I'm just happy to do what I can. Your family means a lot to me
no subject
That might help Mom. Your explanation will be good enough for Dad, though, I'm sure.
It's a really really big deal.
no subject
I'm just glad to help
Your family has been really good to me and accepted me
And I love them and want to help however I can
no subject
You may as well just start calling them yours, too.
we're like the mob, and you were already in before this. after this there's no way anyone will let you leave, regardless of me
don't repeat the mob joke to dad, he doesn't like it. he likes comparing us to a wolf pack better. which also works, for comparisons like this.
no subject
I will just say "family" around your dad if it ever comes up
no subject
I know you don't. I knew you were the type of person who sticks around like as soon as I met you.
That works.
no subject
You mean when you met me at the party I was literally trying to sneak out of because people were making fun of me? That moment you met me?
no subject
yes, I mean that moment I met you
no subject
How could you think that at that time?
no subject
no subject
I'm pretty sure I was just leaving because they were being mean and it made me sad and hurt my feelings
no subject
That's still not just because you didn't want to be there AND you still didn't try and act differently to get them to shut up. My point stands.

I am. And somehow, despite the fact that you are a very, very good boy, you like that.
