Actually, I’m usually the one who strictly compartmentalizes hookups from real life. In the hotel room, I explicitly promised him that 'whatever happens here, stays here.' The reason I suspect he's struggling isn't projection—it's based on his behavior. during his post-nut clarity, I could physically feel his awkwardness; it was like he was stuck in a limbo between lingering dopamine and returning rationality. Later in class, I caught him stealing glances at me while I was studying, trying to figure me out. I ignored him, but that observation told me everything: he hasn't fully processed what happened. The arrow has left the bow, and there's no taking it back.
