"Oh, yeah, there’s Olivia Vogel from the class above me. Aw, I told all my friends I had a crush on her. So they wouldn’t bully me."
"Yikes."
"Yeah, it didn’t really work. Look, here’s all the teams! Basketball, baseball, croquet-eh, I was never that sporty. Let’s skip ahead to my class."
"And you’re totally sure you don’t mind me looking?"
"No, no, it’s fun! It’s bonding."
"Mm."
"You don’t have to share if you don’t want to, Bobby."
"It kind of feels like I… should? Like it’s only fair?"
"No, really. We can just look at my pictures and talk about me. I’m great at that, right? Ha!"
"You… are. Very good."
"And little closeted grade-school Linda was kinda cute. In a way. An awkward, insecure way."
"I’m sure grade-school Linda was adorable."
"Thank you, Bobby. Oh, look, here’s my grade! Let’s see, D, E, F-oh, there I am! Aw, yeah, she’s cuter than I remembered. Little baby Linda."
"…Ohhh my god."
"What, what? What’s wrong with your face?"
"Your deadname is Robert?"
"Well so what, what’s wrong with Robert? You know, it’s a perfectly good name, Bob-ohhh now I hear it."
"Why didn’t you tell me-"
"I forgot, I didn’t-it just occurred to me just now!"
"How do you date someone with your deadname and not realize? Do you know how dumb that sounds?"
"Now I’ll have you know, Bob-"
"Short for Robert."
"Yes, yes, thank you. I’ll have you know I never went by Bob, alright! I was a Bert. Or a Bertie. How was I supposed to put that all together, huh?"
"It’s just crazy, is all, that’s crazy. It’s a crazy coincidence."
"It’s a good name! And, come on, I mean it’s not exactly uncommon."
"What’s that supposed to mean?"
"Well, it’s not like you’re a Lorenzo or something. Robert is probably, what, number five in the country? Maybe even number four?"
"It’s my dad’s name, Lin, I don’t know what you want me to-wait, since when did this become about me? I thought we were talking about your past."
"Maybe I’m tired of reminiscing and it’s your turn, smartass!"
"I thought I didn’t have to share anything if I didn’t want to."
"Yeah, well, that was before you made fun of me, so cough it up."
"Well, fine, if you must know. I was a Belinda, so."
"…"
"…OH MY GOD!"
"WHO’S STUPID NOW, BOB?"
