Baxter brushed off the question about being helped with his song-writing. He appreciated the offer for help but when he was writing songs he often ended up in a zone that made him feel quite vulnerable. Maybe, with time, he could let Lincoln into that space. He grinned at Link's lighthearted jab about him not forgetting. He felt grateful that he had a friend who understood his flaws with love and kindness. Lincoln was one of his closest friends just because Baxter felt deeply safe and comfortable around him. Baxter's line of thought was cut short when he tuned into what Lincoln was saying. "Oh damn bro!" He replies enthusastically, with a smile on his face. He considers his response for a moment before enthusastically adding, "you should've told me sooner; I would've been here making sure you didn't pussy out all day before you got the courage up to tell them!" And, for some reason, at the prospect of Link having someone more precious than himself, his heart didn't quite live up to the excitement he was acting out. This makes him feel bad because what sort of friend is not 100% on board with a prospective happy partner?!

Lincoln shook his head at Baxter's response. He wished he could just tell the latter how he felt now but a lump in his throat prevented that from ever happening, he sighed sullenly to himself before he straightened his posture. Looking at Baxter, he offered a small, tired smile. "It's complicated, or else I would've asked for your help," Link said softly as he walked towards his front door. Link opened his front door and held it open for Baxter so he could close the door for the two of them and lock it, he was always cautious about someone breaking into his home. It was one of his worst fears and Baxter more than likely already knew this information. The two had been close friends for a while, and Link knew Baxter like the back of his hand and he could tell when something was off with his friend even if Baxter didn't admit it. Lincoln's feelings for Baxter grew overwhelming and that was the sole reason he was planning on confessing his real feelings about him though he was beginning to talk himself into not confessing just to save himself the embarrassment of rejection. "Let's get going, I'm starving," Link said motioning for the latter to follow after him, a small smile spread across his face. It looked sullen, yet still slightly bright with warmth.
