@Dave I literally said they aren't my otp anymore. I agree that them getting together intimately would be toxic, but being friends at a later time might be fine. They need to grow more first.

Dave Ostroske

Sorry to be vicious, but if they ever got together again, they'd poison each other. I don't know where the story will go, but them together I can only see as a N.G. ending.

"I shouldn't be dating anyone right now" is a universal wisdom, there. Sometimes being on our own is the best thing for us. Be alone, not lonely.

Having other ppl as a buffer for them to their breaking points, tbh. The meddling of their friends led to major misunderstandings between them which then led them to taking major actions that hurt them both. The only buffer that'd seem to actually be good for them is a mental health professional, like a counselor.

Pls no 🥲

I‘m fully trusting both Mike and Lucy that, even in this AU, there‘s going to be some twist here eventually.

I always find it telling that Mike sees Lucy and only Lucy as "someone to talk to." He has other friends.. there's just something about how close these two have been for their whole lives.

hazel

That's why it's a silly little AU! They don't get proper stories, they're a hint of canon for if it went differently.

Catcata

So interesting how they restart everything again!

Yeah I’m not sure how I feel about it either. Like can they be just friends without being stupid about it and hooking up. I just don’t like them together as a couple.

Mearcyn

🥲 I miss their banter lol They were my otp when I started this age's ago (not anymore). Maybe they can become friends again in college 🤔

Not a fan of this AU. Feels too much like wish fulfillment than a satisfying end of a story to me.

starsleeps

mannnnnnnnnn this hurts i want them to be happy

Haruhi Hatake

I changed my mind. I don't mind this alternate route. They both deserve a chance to talk without other people as a buffer, but it's just too risky. They both sink into eachother in ways that scream unhealthy.

SCD

Well, what did you expect Lucy. He's the most annoying kid in town.

Jim Avery

I'm giving them two days before they're making out behind the bleachers.
