[Oh Bellamy, why do you think he did it this way? He knows it's much easier to drop that bomb when Bellamy can't grill him and just deal with the consequences later. (He sort of hopes maybe Bellamy will forget later. He's pretty sure that won't be the case though.) The tone gets across loud and clear, but probably only because he's used to someone (i.e. Tadashi) pulling similar tricks.]

Uh, kinda mystery boyfriend. [That is to say almost the rest of the Dias-fam knows.] But when I get back, sure.

And I've known him for a while. Longer than you and Clarke, almost as long as Jason and Loki. I met him in person for the first time almost a year and a half ago. [And Bellamy didn't ask this, but...] We've sort of been dating for like five months. Anyway sticking nearby for now, maybe. He's been out on the field on and off, too. I'll be fine though.

[HE IS BEGINNING TO ASSUME THIS. There'll be time for grilling later, that's what he keeps telling himself, even if he's glad Hiro is still talking about it - any words are better than no words, better than closing himself off and disappearing.]

[But also: of course. Of course he's the last to know. He doesn't dwell on whether or not it should have been obvious, or why he frowns. Five months is a long time, though if it's cross court lines, he can't blame the kid for being quiet.]

I'm not being sarcastic when I say I'm glad to hear that. [Knowing someone that long is a good sign. Or at least, Bellamy needs to take it as one.]

Not just a maybe. If you leave him and go somewhere else, let someone know. Now's not the time to up and vanish.

[To be fair, it's only the girls who know. He'll explain everything he can to Bellamy later at a time when there isn't a giant battle going on and they're both running the risk of being destroyed. Five months is longer than he anticipated with the outside world working against them. He can stretch out more time as needed.]

...thanks, I think. [He's really not sure what that means, but he'll take it.] I'm not going to vanish. I promise if I move somewhere else I'll text you and Clarke first thing to let you guys know. I'm not going much further into their territory if I can help it.

[The major part of it Bellamy would have been concerned about is how safe the boyfriend is - not because of who he might be so much as his capability to fight in a situation like this. But if Hiro trusts him, that's enough for now. It has to be.]

Okay. I'll hold you to that. And I'm sure it goes without saying to keep avoiding the machines. At least most everyone seems a little more focused on those than each other in all this.
