I just told my not-super-close friend “we’re going out for sushi and I’m gonna pay but it’s not a date but we get to eat sushi”
They said “oh hell yeah let’s get high beforehand”
Smoked some weed, ate sushi. Zero talk. Maximum awkward. Went back to the car, I asked about a book that was in their bag. They said it was a sketchbook, and I asked if I could see. LOVED their art sooooo much.
Oh definitely. We talk and stuff, but we mostly just kinda experience everything together. We spend all of our time together and have for about a decade, even working together at our last job (and now together at home when I don’t have to be in the office.) We’re very comfortable just existing alongside each other.

Together for 14 years so far
Are the two of you more visually oriented than verbally oriented? If so, it’s really cool that you stumbled on a better way to connect than talking.
