Terry felt like he was alternating between floating on air and feeling like he was waiting for the other shoe to drop. He just walked into the house, having just returned from the park. He had gone to the park earlier in the day to meet up with Seung so they could visit his wonder. They had indeed gone, spending hours exploring and time with each other. He slipped his shoes off and absentmindedly put them in the cranny with the other shoes before he started to head towards his room. On the way there he ended up picking up a furry follower as Ace had been napping on the couch when he got home and decided he wanted attention from his human.

He didn't notice the Munchkin as he took the stairs two at a time to reach the top then head to his room, so lost as he was in his thoughts that were swirling around his head. The young man opened his bedroom door and stepped in, Ace slipping in by his legs before he closed the door and began to pace back and forth across his room. The kitten then went and jumped onto his bead before he sat there to stare at the pacing man with an expectant look about him.

But the kitten wasn't what was on his mind right now not even really noticing him at the moment as Ace was behaving and he had more important things to think on. He didn't care that he found out that his past life was a female, he wasn't thinking on how to bring his Wonder back to life right now though it will come back later, he wasn't even thinking of how well the time spent with Seung had been. What he was really thinking on was the fact that he was now once again in a relationship and this time in one he really, really didn't want to mess up.

The few times that he had dated in the past had not worked out and had barely lasted a few weeks if he was honest, though one had tried to hang in there a bit longer. It all boiled down to his dislike of touching, of letting people in passed his barriers. If he thought back to how well things had been going with Seung, how quickly the other slipped into his bubble with almost no resistance he was amazed. As it was he was afraid bad habits would pop up and ruin this.

The first time he had tried dating was with a girl back in middle school who had approached him boldly with her request to go to the movies. She had been cute and he had thought why not so he had gone with her. At the time he hadn't really thought it was weird when he didn't want to snuggle with her in the theater while watching the movie and had gotten confused when she had gotten upset. Needless to say the 'relationship' between them hadn't lasted longer then two weeks when she had wanted to cuddle or hold hands and he didn't.

The second time he had dated was early high school when one of Matt's teammates on his soccer team had asked him out. Again he had thought he was cute and since he was a friend of Matt's he had already been sort of friends with him so he had said yes. That time it had lasted longer because Derek hadn't been one for public displays of affection so it had taken a bit longer before it was clear that Terry had simply had no interest in touching and in fact went out of his way to avoid it. When it had been discovered Derek had been nice about it for a while, and tried to be understanding but after a little over a month he had gotten annoyed enough to call it quits.

The less he thought about Eliza, the third person he had tried dating, the better honestly. She had not taken well to his aversion and had been sure she could 'cure' him of it and had reacted badly when she hadn't been able to.

He continued his pacing back and forth for a few minutes before the kitten on his bed let out a loud, demanding meow that startled him. He turned to look at the cat who was still staring at him then let out a sigh and moved to pet the kitten. Was he just over thinking this? Was he just feeling the aftermath of the different highs and lows his emotions had gone thanks to the trip? It would certainly explain why he was thinking of the past when he had been pretty happy to ignore it before. He was ecstatic that Seung was now dating him but he could still feel the pain at seeing how his Wonder was and maybe this was just because of the mix these made?

Terry sat down on the bed and Ace promptly got into his lap to demand attention, purring away. He gave another sigh as he started to pet the kitten, relaxing thanks to the purring the tiny animal was doing. If this anxiety was just because of the mix up of emotions he probably shouldn't be thinking to much on it until he had the chance to relax and rest properly but it was hard to just will his mind away from it. "Okay. I'll just think on it more tomorrow. Tomorrow will be much better." He said as if he was addressing Ace, though it was really more in a bid to cement the idea in his brain and convince himself to leave it alone. After a few moments of just trying to push the thoughts and feelings away, as well as continual petting of the purring feline, he he finally started to relax. Yes, tomorrow would be better and he wouldn't worry about things going wrong between him and Seung then. After all, he would just have to let things come as they did anyway.
