so much life in one little world
"Really?" Sounding horrified and fascinated, Ever straightens, one eyebrow raised as the other scrunched. How could someone make the same mistake twice in a single day? He couldn't imagine. Distracted by Mateo's explanation, Ever's expression smoothes out somewhat as he nods. "That makes sense. Can you imagine though, making a mistake that changes your life forever? And makes other lives?" He shivers. If having sex could lead to that sort of thing, why take the chance? Gods, it seemed way too problematic to be worth it.
Slumping his shoulders with relief—they were nearly touching his ears before Mateo clarified—Ever nods. "Mine isn't going to be a boy or a girl." He declares. His reasoning isn't to be inclusive, so much as he doesn't want his friend to think that Ever is judging the fact that he has two dads by including a mom, or pandering to him by including another dad. "But they're going to be wearing a hat." He adds confidently; hats were practical and good for everyone.
