Unfiltered Story #255613

(I write fanfiction. My current main focus is a project starring a gay male character and a straight female character. However, I decide to make a side project of going through and editing a previous fanfic starring a straight male character. Also important to note is that I realized I was asexual while dating my current boyfriend, but after a long discussion we decided to continue the relationship.)

Me: “Apparently, writing a character who is attracted to girls is just weird to me now.”

Boyfriend: “Maybe it’s easier to write characters attracted to guys, as a girl?”

Me: “Um…dear, have you forgotten our conversation about how I’m asexual? ANY time I write about physical attraction, I’m just imitating romances that I’ve read.”

(He types and deletes things for several minutes before sending a reply.)

Boyfriend: “I haven’t forgotten, I was just guessing.”

Me: “…this was officially awkward.”
