In all honesty, I'm pretty glad that this is how things worked out with Mari and Angus. I like Mari as a person but the way she acts around Angus bugs me. I can be shy around guys and what not but she was just annoying to me. Yeah I get she's shy she's clumsy and she's nervous (etc etc) but she was also needy, naive...To me there's a difference between going after what you want, and assuming that what you want is something you already have.
I like Angus and I love Faye I liked where their little friendship was going and I felt that the Mari love triangle insert was distracting.....just me though

Yeah, um, have you made any effort to watch (or read) any decent yaoi? Amazingly, stories that have to do with male-male romance can be as varied, and have as much ground for being decent entertainment, as stories dealing with male-female romance. Just because the couple at the center is made up of two guys rather than a guy and a girl, doesn't automatically somehow make it either "horrifying" or "embarrassing" or bad entertainment.

"Yaoi is an acronym created in the dōjinshi market of the late 1970s by Yasuko Sakata and Akiko Hatsu[5] and popularized in the 1980s[6] standing for Yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi (ヤマなし、オチなし、意味なし?) "No climax, no point, no meaning"."
I don't post here often, but I figured you might want to know that.

Yeah, and everybody knows that of course and uses it with that meaning.

Actually we all do. We were gonna tell you, but it was funnier not to.
douggerel:
Years and years back, a similar situation happened to me. Too much liquor, and a woman I thought was just a friend got me in a lip lock that was totally unexpected and unwanted. I handled the situation better than Angus did: I pretended to fall asleep from the booze, and she bought it and gave up. The next morning she never mentioned it, and we stayed friends. It wasn't so much thinking quickly on my part as it was, well, kind of acting like a possum.
But I was a lot drunker than Angus.
This will sort itself out, I think. Faye ex machina.
Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: tvtropes.org ---An important aspect of The Woobie is that their suffering must have its genesis in external sources: a character, however sympathetically portrayed, who suffers as the result of their own actions is a Tragic Hero and does not qualify.
--- End quote ---
Marigold tests this claim. She's not a Tragic Hero, but she is the sort that people identify with and want to protect to make up for all the times they couldn't protect themselves. In other words, a Woobie.
