Progression Preview - Chapter 28

Apologies for lack of normal formatting to differentiate signing and texting from voiced lines. This is a much longer preview than normal and it would have taken a long time to format. For some reason, those aspects do not copy & paste into Tumblr like they do AO3). But Namphueng is still solely signing here, and Kim mostly chooses to when communicating with her.

Now...onto the preview. Or like 1/5 of the chapter lol.

-----------------------------------------------

“He was your…husband.” 

Porsche’s words are said in a thick, nervous voice, as if he is afraid to tell Namphueng or talk about it. Namphueng supposes it would be strange to inform someone that a man they are just remembering is their husband. 

Especially when she is a lesbian. 

Part of her wants to immediately deny it, tell Porsche that he is ridiculous for thinking such a thing. She has only loved Milan. She still loves Milan with her entire soul. Nothing changes that, even if what Porsche is saying is true. It really does not seem true. She is a lesbian, so it probably isn't. 

But at the same time, it doesn’t feel like a lie either. For one, Porsche looks emotional and sincere, so does Chay. Kim had looked uncomfortable until he went into the kitchen, which is actually what made her believe anything they might say would be true. No one is more affected by uncomfortable truths than Kim is. On top of that, she feels things when she remembers Pat. Not overwhelming love and yearning like she feels for Milan, but she feels…trust. Friendship. Security. Partnership. A love that is genuine and steady, but feels very familial. 

“Are you sure he's not my brother?” 

Porsche and Chay look at each other before looking at her again. 

“No, Ma. He's not. He was your husband.” 

Was. Was. What does that mean? Did they get divorced? That would make sense if her feelings about him then resemble the ones she has now, but it doesn't seem right. Despite knowing within her heart that she is a lesbian, she doesn't feel like it was a divorce. 

Deep down, there is a voice telling her she is right. 

“What happened to him?” Namphueng asks, trying her best to stay calm. She knows they are more nervous talking about stuff with her now. She's not stupid. They are worried she will hurt or kill herself because she tried to do just that. She needs to stay calm, especially for Porsche. She feels a spike of concern as tears well up in his eyes and he takes a sharp breath in. As for Chay, he just watches his brother silently until Chay turns to her. 

“He…He died,” Chay gets out, “I'm really sorry, Ma.” 

Namphueng has no choice but to take that in. Process the news. It makes her very sad. She doesn't cry. She feels like it is something she has known, which is all the more reason all of this is probably true. She doesn't remember much. She remembers Milan referring to him. She remembers having a few…classes with him? She even remembers spending time with him in an…apartment? Maybe a house? It's all blurry. Even his face is blurry. She remembers parted, black hair and glasses. 

And she remembers something else. Something important. 

“I’m sad,” Namphueng signs. Both of the boys nod in agreement. 

“Mm-hmm,” Porsche hums, clearing his throat, “You uh…You probably really loved him.”

Namphueng nods, because that's true. Even if she can't remember very much, she knows that to be true. When she thinks of what she can remember, she feels comfort, trust, and companionship. Pat understood her. He wanted similar things as her, even though she can't exactly remember what all of those things were. 

She remembers he was similar to her. 

“I did,” Namphueng signs, “I think…I think he was one of my closest friends. He understood me and he cared about me a lot. I understood and cared for him too. I don't remember his name, but Pat’s boyfriend was also a close friend of mine. He died too. Pat was very, very sad-” 

“Boyfriend?” Porsche says, waving his hands to cut in, “Pa- Pat didn't have a boyfriend.” 

Namphueng tilts her head, then remembers earlier on, going out with Pat, his boyfriend, and Milan. She thinks it was right after she started school? 

She remembers going to school. She lived in a dorm. When Pat’s boyfriend died, she got an apartment with Pat, but she doesn't…she doesn't remember Milan there, not much. She remembers Milan and Pat getting along the times she did come over, but it wasn't as frequent after…

Ugh.

Namphueng thinks Milan dated someone else too, because she remembers her bringing a man over. Gun. Milan married Gun. Milan had two sons with Gun. Why did Milan do that? 

Bitch. 

No, not a bitch. She doesn't even know why she thought that. From the dreams and random memories she has had, Namphueng thinks she is the one who broke things off, not Milan. So maybe SHE’S the bitch. She did marry Pat, but she doesn't think she and Pat lied to each other. She KNOWS that man is gay. 

Was gay. 

She feels like she told him she was a lesbian too. The thought that she kept it from him doesn't feel accurate at all-” 

“Ma! He wasn't gay!”

Why does Porsche care? 

“He was,” Namphueng signs, “I can NOT see myself marrying a man who is straight or even interested in women. I also remember him being gay. Don't be homophobic, thanks.” 

“I'm not homophobic!” Porsche snaps, jumping to his feet, “I'm with Kinn! But it makes no sense for the two of you to have gotten MARRIED when both of you were supposedly gay!” 

“Hia,” Chay prompts hoarsely, but Porsche isn't finished. 

“It doesn't make sense, Ma! It just doesn't! You loved each other!” 

“...Yes. We did,” Namphueng signs in a placating way, even though she doesn't know why Porsche is THIS upset, “I cared about him deeply. He was one of my closest friends. I think…I think his family didn't accept him? Maybe that's why we got married? I don't know. I don't remember. But I am very sad that he is dead and I would like to visit his grave or urn sometime soon so I can talk with him. Maybe not yet. I'm sad. But soon.” 

“Ma! You…You don't…You can't-” 

Porsche cuts himself off and begins to pace, all while Namphueng sits there patiently. She doesn't really want to sit there patiently. This isn’t even Porsche’s business. She doesn't know why he knows about Pat in the first place, or why he's upset Pat had been gay. But something in the back of her head is telling her to be compassionate, to be kind and gentle with him. It's saying this is hard on him.

Of course it is hard on him to find out like this. 

Why did she think that? What does that even mean? 

To take her mind off of it, she ignores Porsche’s pacing and turns to Chay. 

“Thank you for telling me about Pat. While I am very upset to hear about his passing, I won't do anything stupid. I promise. I'm sorry that you and Porsche are affected by this conversation. I will try not to bring him up around you-” 

“It's not that, Ma,” Chay says hoarsely, then looks at Porsche, “But uh…Maybe we should move on for now. For Hia’s sake.” 

Porsche’s pacing gradually comes to a halt as he seems to gear himself up to be confrontational or say something daring. But he doesn't. Instead, his shoulders slouch and he sits back down again. 

“Sorry about upsetting you,” Namphueng signs, and she means that, “We can move on.” 

Both of the boys stare at her before Porsche looks around.

“Where did Kim go?” 

Chay lets out a sigh, “He wanted to give us privacy so he is making lunch to take to the studio for everyone tomorrow.” 

“Maybe uh…” Porsche starts, “Maybe he should be in here? Kinn and Tankhun too-”

“No,” Namphueng signs, then holds up her hands, “I understand it's important for them to know, but I don't want to upset them right now. I shouldn't have said it in front of Kim. He lives with me and I thought it was important to tell him my theory. I wasn't thinking about Milan being his aunt. It's too late to take back, so I suppose he can listen to what I have to say and make a judgment call on if his brothers should know or not-” 

“Kim!” Porsche calls out. Within seconds, Kim comes out of the kitchen. He was probably listening in. That's fair. She did bring up her strong suspicion that his father is keeping his aunt locked away in likely  one of the many secret rooms in the compound. And it isn't much of a suspicion. It's a fact. 

As Kim quietly comes into the room and sits in the chair diagonal from Chay, she wants to tell Porsche to move so Kim can sit with Chay. Kim might need comfort from his boyfriend. 

But Porsche still seems to be the most overwhelmed, more so than the rest of them, and Namphueng knows they are all overwhelmed and upset. So Porsche is somehow feeling even worse. 

“I don't know whether we should tell your brothers, but I think Milan is still alive,” Namphueng signs, meeting Kim’s eyes, “I know you must think I sound crazy. That this is a coping skill to convince myself of this. But it's not. I remember her with me in a couple of the rooms. Korn moved us around.” 

Kim stares at her silently, opens his mouth to speak, then takes a shaky breath in and signs instead.

“What exactly do you remember of her?” 

Namphueng thinks hard. She remembers being in some…trance. She would have moments of something resembling lucidity, enough awareness to get restless and upset. Sometimes that meant trying to get Milan to focus on her, other times that meant trying to leave the room and wander. When she thinks even harder, she remembers Milan having those same moments. Rarely did they ever reach those moments at the same time, the only times they did were with the nurses. 

If Namphueng attacked them, Milan would always join in. If Milan initiated the aggression, Namphueng would do the same. Those moments all but stopped as the pill colors and sizes changed. That made it so they couldn't do much more than tend to their own basic needs when prompted, work on their preferred hobbies, and occasionally be just aware enough to take comfort in each other’s company, even though no words were exchanged between them. They were capable, but docile. They could barely think for themselves.

“I remember her first being brought in,” Namphueng signs, “I was painting. I think…I had a stronger sedative the day before. I was still out of sorts, but she seemed familiar. When she saw me, she ran for me and fell to her knees. Korn brought her to my room to punish her for something. I don't know what. But she kept saying she knew something hadn’t been right, that it didn't make sense she was never allowed to see…to see…” 

Namphueng trails off, because Namphueng being dead doesn't make sense, nor does the word “bodies”. Maybe when Pat died, Milan had been told Namphueng died too?

“My body,” Namphueng finishes, “Korn must have told her I was dead, then wouldn't show her my body. I don't know why he would do that. He is evil.” 

As Namphueng looks at Kim apologetically, she sees that he isn't offended. If anything, he is lost in thought until he meets her eyes. 

“Do you remember anything else?” 

Namphueng nods, “I have been remembering more and more recently. I have been meditating and putting on dream and memory recollection videos on my television while I sleep. I think they help.” 

Chay lets out a sigh, “Are you…Are you sure you aren’t…dreaming everything? Or remembering wrong?” 

“I remember,” Namphueng signs. She expected this, “I remember her being in the room with me. I remember when the medicine wasn't as…bad. It was still bad, but we interacted more. She would make me jewelry. That's what she did while I drew and painted. She made hand embroidered jewelry. Sometimes with thread, other times with tiny beads. She worked really hard at it. I remember her almost always giving the final results to me. They were beautiful. I don't remember her doing that when we were younger, but she was very good at it.” 

Kim stares at her, his expression unreadable. Namphueng holds his gaze patiently until he digests the information and is ready to respond.

“I am worried about you being wrong and you trying to hurt yourself again.” 

Namphueng nods, “I scared you and upset you that night. Of course you are. I will…Try my best not to if that's the case. I will remind myself that I have friends. People who care about me. I have Fern, Vegas, Macau, Pete, and Paris too. Milan’s family.” 

Kim nods, “You do. You have them too. But I don't think they should know about this. Not yet.” 

“...Okay,” Namphueng signs, pursing her lips, “So we need to find proof and then-” 

“We need to find her. Not just proof,” Kim says, “Proof of her once being here will trigger them to do something drastic. They are too close to the matter. So are we, but we have been around Pa. We know how he is and need to investigate subtly but thoroughly-”

“Kim, you can't be encouraging this!” Porsche says, “This could end up really hurting her!” 

Kim turns and meets Porsche’s gaze, “Do you think she will just drop it if we tell her to? Forget that she came to this conclusion?” 

“I won't!” Namphueng signs sternly.

“She needs answers,” Kim says, “Even if they end up being upsetting answers, she still needs them. But we also need to remember to search for them…gradually. Go about this in a way that doesn't raise Pa’s suspicions. Maybe Khun and Arm can…I don't know, make him feel obligated when Arm’s sisters and nieces move in. Remind Pa how serious their relationship is and that Khun considers them his family. Convince Pa to go on day trips with them-”

“Oh, I'm sure they will all love THAT,” Porsche scoffs before muttering under his breath. Something about how his favorite couple isn't a decoy. Namphueng agrees. They aren't decoys. But surely Khun will want answers too. 

“I think we should hold off on telling Kinn and Khun about this,” Kim tells them, “For now. It is…It's stressful to hear. Khun might automatically believe it's true and respond impulsively. Kinn may try to deny it's a possibility because he will be too defensive and upset over the thought of Pa doing something like that. Again.” 

With that, Kim stands up and looks down at Namphueng, “It might take a while to investigate all of this. On top of that, we need to go about our daily lives as normal so we don't raise suspicions. I don't believe even Chan knew about you. I know for a fact Arm didn't, and he wouldn't know about Auntie Milan either. So there are likely security measures Pa put in place himself when it came to you. And if my aunt is hidden away, it's likely the same for her. I wouldn't be surprised if he strengthened them after making your presence known.” 

Chay looks up at his boyfriend at that point, “Kim-” 

“I accept,” Namphueng signs, standing up to give Kim a hug before pulling away, “Thank you for listening to me. I didn't want to upset anyone with this, but I thought keeping it to myself wasn't helping either.” 

With that, Namphueng turns to Porsche and Chay. 

“I am sorry if I upset you tonight by bringing up Pat. I am not sure why you are upset when he was my husband and close friend, but if you knew him and that brought up bad memories, I apologize.” 

And she truly means that. She does. But the boys seem too overwhelmed to really do anything but nod and say it's fine. It makes her feel more certain that - when she's ready - she will ask for more details, maybe for some pictures of him too. She may not have loved him romantically, but he was one of her closest friends and she clearly loved him enough to marry him.

So if she finds out he died in a way that needs to be avenged, she will try her best to be the one who carries that out. 

—-----------------

Chay knows he needs to talk with Hia privately. But going by Hia’s dazed walk as he leaves the suite, Chay figures it would best be had tomorrow. As for tonight, Chay will keep his communication with his brother simple. 

Chay: ❤️❤️❤️ I love you, Hia. Try to get some rest. Can we have dinner after I get back tomorrow? I should have some time in between then and my shift at Yok’s. 

It takes several minutes, but Hia responds. 

Hia: You're still working at Yok’s? Why? 

Chay: Why wouldn't I? 

Hia: You're heavily featured on an album of one of the biggest musical artists in the country. 

Chay: And? I enjoy working at Yok’s too. I’ll quit after I start school. If I get in. 

Hia: You’ll get in. ❤️ Are you okay? 

Chay: I don't know. I guess, but I'm worried. How are you? 

It takes His several minutes to respond to that too. 

Hia: I'm okay. Get some rest. I love you. 

Chay: Love you too. 

Chay hears a whine beside him and looks down to see Koda sitting by his feet. He gets on his hind legs and balances them on Chay’s lap. Chay cups his dog’s face and briefly presses his forehead against his. 

“You want to go for another walk while your papa finishes up cooking and avoiding the world?” 

Once Koda hears his favorite word, he's by the door, wiggling his tail in excitement. Chay can't help but give the best boy in the entire world a big smile despite everything he just heard. 

The walk is mostly uneventful. He takes Koda outside through one of the back exits and walks him around the large block the building takes up. It isn't as exciting as a walk at one of the parks, or one of the longer walks he and Kim will take him on that leads them to exploring other areas of the neighborhood, but it's more interesting to Koda than a walk inside the compound. Koda treats those walks pretty neutrally, although he keeps showing a lot of interest in the pool. But he hasn't completely healed from his surgery, so Chay isn't even trying it. Until then, Koda only gets excited to see some of the staff and guards, all while being cordial and passive with Korn. Probably for the best. 

Koda does like Sand though. A lot. Not as much as he likes Kim, Ma, Hia, Khun, and Phoenix, but Kinn and Sand are likely on par. Although, Sand gives him more affection when he sees Koda, and Kinn awkwardly pats him and takes him on obligatory walks. 

“You're still on compound duty despite becoming Korn’s guard?” Chay asks as soon at Sand squats down to ruffle Koda’s fur. 

“Only a couple of nights a week,” Sand says, keeping most of his attention on Koda, “Korn is pretty low maintenance, at least so far.” 

“I doubt it will stay that way,” Chay mutters, then takes a breath, “He…Sand, he was okay with getting his long-term head guard killed. You need to be careful around him.” 

“Hm.” 

“I'm serious,” Chay reiterates, “You can't trust him. You told me before you don't trust him-” 

“How is your night?” Sand says, cutting Chay off, “That's how one usually starts a conversation.” 

Chay stares at him for a moment, then clears his throat, “It's…okay. How is yours?” 

“Slow. Boring-” 

“Good,” Chay says, getting back on track, “Considering you are Korn’s guard now-” 

“He picked a few guards. I happened to be one of them,” Sand says, “I didn't question it because he's older, Kinn is mainly in charge, and I was given a raise regardless the lack of missions Korn will likely be leading. Why do you care?”

“Because I care about you,” Chay says. Even though he has never felt anything truly romantic for Sand, he is still fond of him and considers him a friend to some degree - moreso than any of the other people he hooked up with. If he hadn't been in the headspace he had been in, he could see himself maybe being open to seeing where things might have led back then. But the sentiment - while true - still must come of as strange to Sand since he gives him a look. 

“Uh huh.” 

“I do,” Chay says gently, “You've been a friend to me. You always agreed to pair up with me for training and I hang out with you more than any other guard-”

“Not recently.” 

…That's true. 

“I'm sorry,” Chay says, “It…It’s been a few weeks since we have worked out and trained together. It's just been busy. I'm helping Kim with his album. And…We’re together now. You know that.” 

Sand shrugs, “I am aware.” 

Great. Chay thought Sand had been fine with it, unlike Vice and Mars, who still send him glares every once in a while. 

“Are you pissed off at me over falling for and getting with Kim?”

Sand stays quiet for a moment, then shrugs, “No. Not really. I hope it's going well.” 

Chay stares at Sand for a moment, “It is. It's going great. But…if you are comparing what the two of us did to what I have with Kim now and feel hurt by it, then I am sorry. I didn't…I wasn't going about anything right, and I upset a lot of people I should have treated with more kindness, care, and respect.” 

“Your fuck buddies and random hook-ups? Kindness, care, and respect usually don't get associated with those kinds of arrangements.” 

Chay winces at that, but moves past it, “You’re right, but…That wasn't who I wanted to be. I was going through a rough time and I was angry. I let everything I was doing spiral out of control and I regret sleeping with a lot of the people I did, but there are a few that were…I don't know. I am glad you still stayed my friend and didn't push for more or push me away once I decided to stop being the person I became. I don't regret what what we did together in the past, and I would like to be friends with you if you actually aren't mad.” 

Chay feels himself shift nervously on his feet at Sand studies him curiously. Then, he gives Koda one last pat before standing up to full height. 

“Then as your friend, I would advise you to not ask me questions about Korn.” 

Chay squints at him, “I'm asking because I am concerned. He's not a good person. You know what he did to my ma and how he has treated Kim and Khun and-” 

“Stop,” Sand says briskly, then stares straight ahead, “I need you to stop. You are one of the people he specifically noted in regards to who to keep our eyes on-” 

“He told you to spy on me?” 

“No,” Sand says, “He just said to note if we see anything suspicious coming from you. That you harbor…resentment that stems from grief and paranoia-”

“It doesn't stem from paranoia if he killed my pa and imprisoned my mother!” Chay hisses. It causes Sand’s unreadable and neutral expression to finally crack and it becomes an empathetic one instead.

“I’m telling you what he said to make sure you're careful around him, despite what punishment that may bring me if Korn found out. So do me a favor by being careful around him and stop bringing him up to me unless you absolutely have to.” 

The conversation quickly becomes one sided after that. All Chay can do is begrudgingly mumble a goodnight before walking his dog the rest of the way around the block and leading him back inside. By the time he gets back to his suite and unhooks Koda from the leash so he can go to the kitchen and get some water, he finds Kim walking out of the room in question before sitting on the couch. 

“How are you doing?” Kim asks, then lets out a sigh, “I should have asked you before. I should have stayed. It's just…she said what she did about my aunt and I needed time to think-” 

“I get it,” Chay interrupts, “And I’m…stressed and worried. Mainly about Ma. I'm worried about this being a way for her to cope, something that gives her hope and drive until her theory is proven otherwise. She says it isn't and that she won't do anything drastic if she ends up being wrong, but she is so convinced she is right that it might not be the case if things end up going that way.” 

Kim nods thoughtfully, “I'm worried about that too.” 

Chay figured, but before he can sit down and talk it out with him, Kim continues. 

“But despite that and logic telling me…telling me that her theory likely isn't true…part of me believes her.” 

Chay sharply breathes in and feels his heart ache at that, “Kim-"

“It might be wishful thinking, but one thing she said is really bothering me,” Kim says, his gaze distant, “You ma said that her hobby was drawing and painting, while Auntie Milan’s was making and embroidering jewelry. Auntie Milan did do that. It was a hobby of hers.” 

At that point, Kim’s gaze comes back into focus as he meets Chay’s eyes. 

“But she didn't start doing that until after Khun was rescued. She used to sit with him a lot in the infirmary where he was kept sedated. She picked it up for something to do. She had a beginner’s book and everything. So how would your ma even know about it unless she witnessed it herself? And how would she witness it when she had been declared dead and held captive several years before Auntie Milan even picked up the hobby?” 

There is no alternative explanation Chay can give. He doesn't have one. As for Kim, he doesn't seem to have one either.

She’s literally the best therapist we’ve ever had, I loved her and she was so knowledgeable and understanding about DID/systems, very LGBT+ (especially trans) inclusive, and just all-around very nice and helpful. Our head gatekeeper in the system is so thrilled lmao

With that, Ma downs her water and sits back down. Everyone else grabs their champagne flutes and sips on them in a daze that Ma has clearly shown Korn she is no longer in.

Fuck.

O

Or maybe it's to record this memory during happier times, before everything goes to shit.

R

Regardless, she pushes those nerves back and keeps her pleasant smile.

“Hia? What happened to your wife?”

Korn clenches his jaw, “She died. Cardiac arrest.”

Namphueng looks down sadly. If this is the case, she is sad for Dao. If Korn weren't so despicable, she may even feel sad for him too. There had been one point in time that she loved him. She struggled viewing him as a brother. If anything, she viewed Gun as a brother more. They were closer in age and naturally spent more time together. But she respected Korn for at least part of her life.

And then he killed Pat, abducted her, made her think he killed her sons, and kept her in a room longer than she had even known him, at least at that point. She is sure he did the same to Milan.

What did he do to Dao?

“She would have been pretty young, huh?” Namphueng says, “When I asked Kim last night, he said she died when he was around eight. Dying from cardiac arrest in her late thirties…she never had any heart issues. She was diligent about going to the doctor-"

"That's enough."

D

“Dara needs ties to the deaf community. I want our daughter to have that. Fern is Deaf, and Namphueng had a Deaf father and a mother who was an interpreter born into a Deaf family. It makes me happy that she will be connected to Deaf culture and have support. I’ve read about Deaf children whose parents don't even bother to learn sign and they have to write back and forth to talk to each other, even after having years and years to learn! That won't be the case with Dara. We need to make sure of that!”

“We will,” Arm promises, “We have Namphueng and Fern, and Kim, Vegas, and Macau are all fluent. I would say we are proficient, and so are Kinn, Porsche, Chay, Pete, and Pol. My sisters and the twins are all catching on quickly. Even Koda and Phoenix know signed commands. Whatever her primary mode of communication ends up being, she will have people who will clearly understand her and can easily communicate with her.” 

“And she will have Paris too!" Tankhun says, feeling hopeful that his daughter will never be expected to go against her cousin, "I know she will be fluent. Fern, Vegas, Pete, and Macau will make sure that happens. They will be best friends.”

S

“She will be safe with us. We obviously aren't going to leave her alone,” Chay says, “She lives with me and Kim. Arm and Khun are across the hall. Yok just sent me a text telling me that I am temporarily fired so I can be here until my mother is definitely safe. We aren't going to let anything happen to her.”

“We definitely won't,” Kinn starts, but then starts pinching the bridge of his nose, “It's…It's not ideal-”

“No shit,” Kim says, obviously less optimistic, “It's only a matter of time that Pa does something about it. Even if she pretends she doesn't remember everything he did to her, he is going to try to become proactive and make it so she will never remember.”

The excerpts are all from the upcoming chapter of Progression.

F

Fuck. Another tally in the column of Vacation: Disaster. They've been on the island for less than four hours. How are they going to survive a week? How is Big going to survive a week?

E

Even if the hotel clerk has somehow picked up on Big's feelings for Chan, and Chan's… lack of those same feelings, it doesn't mean Chan will be interested in him.

The guy isn't that good looking. He isn't a threat.

Probably.

A

A hand on Big's chest stops him.

"I wasn't telling you to leave, Big. I was asking if you could move on your own, or if you wanted me to apply the lotion." Chan tilts his head to catch Big's eye. His voice is quiet, a thread of amusement still clear under the low tone. When Big doesn't reply, he continues, "So, if you want me to help you apply it, I can. Just take off your shirt, and lie back down."

The suggestion sends a wave of heat through Big and short-circuits his already-overwhelmed brain.

T

The apology dies on his tongue.

And then Chan slides his hands up around his ribcage, gently, slowly, and Big draws in a shaky inhale, feels Chan's fingers tighten their grip for a moment, callouses rough on his sensitive skin.

S

"Sorry," Chan murmurs, though there's a smile pressing at the corner of his mouth that speaks to not being quite so sorry as he says. "I forgot."

Progression, Chapter 27: Preview

Chay: Kim and I have a son now. 🥹

Khun: Kim’s PREGNANT?! 🤰🏻 Kim! Why wouldn't you TELL me? 🖕🏼

Kim: I don't have the parts for that. 

Chay: Don't remind me 😞

Porsche: I'm going to ignore you just saying that and instead ask for clarification. Whose baby did you steal? You're too young to be a parent. You have your college interview and practical coming up. 

Macau: Does P’Pete’s dad have another baby he was mistreating that you took?

Pete: I am in this group chat, Macau. 

Macau: Sorry 😬

Chay: He's not a human baby! He's a dog! 

Porsche: Chay! Dogs are a big responsibility! What about college?

Chay: I can walk him on some parts of campus! You are acting like I can’t take him anywhere. And even if I can't take him somewhere, you are acting like you won't watch him. 

Porsche: I won't! You got yourself into this mess! I'm not taking care of him! 

Chay: Meet Koda! 

Porsche: …I will protect him with my life. 

Pol: Awwwww ♥️

Khun: HE IS THE CUTEST DOG IN THE WORLD!!!! I’M AN UNCLE!!!! ❤️🧡🧡💚🩵💙

Nalin: You already are an uncle, Khun! 🙂♥️

Arm: Why are you in this group chat???

Nalin: To gather stray gossip about you. You're SO interesting despite how boring you can be. 

Arm: Who added you?

Nalin: Why do you not want me included? You could just be grateful that I take an interest in your life? 

Arm: Huh? 

Porsche: Did he pose like that? 

Chay: Yes! He was jumping for a ball. When I pulled my phone out to take a picture, he looked at me, then stood up on his hind legs and gave me that look! He's SO smart and sweet. I love him more than I have ever loved anyone. 

Porsche: Wow. Kim and I are RIGHT HERE. 

Kim: He has said it fifteen times to me and your ma already. We both accept it. He's a sweet dog. Great actor too. He acted sickly and depressed while we were at the shelter. We took him to the pet store and that all stopped. He kept pulling us through the aisles and taking all the toys he was interested in off the hooks. 

Chay: And he got every single one because he deserves them. 🥰

Kim: Not for his abilities on a leash. 

Chay: Fine. He needs some practice on a leash. But he doesn't jump on anyone unless you prompt him to jump up on his hind legs. He's perfect. And he wasn't faking being sick, Kim. You know he has problems. We can both see the polyp and inflammation in his ear! But Kim is telling the truth. His personality changed within minutes. It must have sunk in that he finally found a loving home. ♥️ Mindset and support can do wonders to alleviate depression and chronic pain! He's not even 3 yet and the staff said his asshole owner dropped him off there when he was only 8 months old! He was there for over two years and no one showed him any interest because of his ear problems. I can't believe that vet wouldn't come out and operate on him for another week. That's why we got a hold of Phoenix’s vet. We dropped his paperwork off at the office and he said he could do the surgery in two days. 

Kim: Probably for the best. That way, you aren't stressing about it and compromising your interview and practical. 

Chay: Or when we meet with your label next weekend. 

Kim: OUR label. 

Arm: Are you both sitting at the park together but talking through here? 

Chay: You all are free to jump in at any moment. 

Nalin: Your dog is really cute, Chay! I love dogs. ♥️

Macau: You do? I do too! I’ve been thinking about getting a dog. 

Vegas: Since when? You've never even had one. 

Macau: I've always wanted one. 

Nalin: If you get one, Preeda volunteers at a rescue near our apartment. 

Macau: I'll go there first ☺️

Nalin: 😁

Arm: 🤨

Vegas: 🙄

Pete: Do you have more pictures, Chay? 

Pete: Very cute. 🙂

Kinn: I'm looking forward to meeting him. 🙂

Tankhun: I am too! 🤗 Although, it is bad timing. 

Chay: Getting Koda today was PERFECT timing. 

Kim: He will not take any critique that includes Koda’s name in it. Watch it. He's come up with three songs about him in the last twenty minutes.

Porsche: Aww. Are they good?

Kim: They’re…songs. 

Tankhun: I'm not critiquing a new family member. But I was going to reach out in a bit to see if you, Kinn, Vegas, and Macau were available tonight. I wanted to go to Yok’s together and rent out the VIP room for long overdue brotherly/cousinly drunken bonding!!! 😩

Vegas: You want to get drunk together?

Tankhun: Of course! 

Vegas: What's your angle?

Tankhun: Finding out Pa’s angle is my angle! And I want to spend time with my brothers - who know him the best, as well as with you and Macau - who hate him the most!

Vegas: How did the breakfast with him go? 

Tankhun: He arrived set on ending the relationship and ended up taking away Arm’s guard status!

Nalin: You don't have a job anymore, Hia???

Tankhun: He gave him a better job. Arm is to solely focus on the technical aspect of our security system. The only duty he will be keeping from his time as head guard is overseeing the intake and routine trainings. To fill up his time, Pa has offered him the Chief Information Officer for the Theerapanyakul Luxury and Amenities Brand. And then, he called him “son.” 🤢

Vegas: Sounds like he actually approves, but has taken an interest in him. That sucks. 

Macau: Congratulations on the new job, Arm. 🙂

Arm: Thank you? 

Vegas: 🙄 Suck up. 

Arm: What? 

Nalin: Glad you're not jobless. You get dangerous when you're bored. That's what Malai and Hansa always say.

Arm: They exaggerate. 

Pol: You literally built toy cars that explode on a slow work day. 

Vegas: YOU built those? 

Tankhun: To be fair, I gave him the idea. 

Vegas: Well, I figured that. 

Tankhun: Let’s get drunk together and move past it! Macau too! 

Vegas: No Macau. 

Macau: Hia, I am legally allowed to drink now. 

Vegas: Not around me.

Macau: Fine. I will just go somewhere else and drink. Alone. 

Vegas: You won't. 

Macau: Why can't I see you drunk? You're a messy drunk, aren't you? 

Vegas: No

Tankhun: I can't speak for Vegas, but I can assure you I am incredibly classy and low-key when I am under the influence. 

Arm: 😂🤣😂

Tankhun: ARM, YOU ARE ONE TO USE THOSE EMOJIS TO TRY AND ACT LIKE YOU ARE A BETTER DRUNK THAN ME! 🥃🍻🕺🏼⛳

Pol: I don’t remember Arm ever golfing when he was drunk…

Nalin: I want to see Hia drunk. 

Arm: Absolutely not. 

Tankhun: I promise we will have a girls’ night, Nalin. I am in full support of Arm inviting you girls to spend time with Pete, Pol, and Porsche. If you choose to drink together, that's your call. But I feel like an exclusive hang out with my brother and cousins is needed at Yok’s

Nalin: Fine. I will crash your hangout at Pete’s, Hia. 

Macau: I will be home too. Hia doesn't want me to go to Yok’s. Sorry, Khun. 

Vegas: Changed my mind. You can go. 

Macau: It's okay. I don't want to make you feel weird. That's how nice I am. 

Tankhun: You're going, Macau. It's required! 

Macau: Whatever…

Nalin: 🫶🏼

Tankhun: Aw, Nalin. You're so sweet. ♥️ you too! 

Chay: Kim can go. Koda and I will be fine. We're heading back now. 🙂

Tankhun: Yayyyyy! I can't wait to meet my new nephew and spend time with my brothers and cousins tonight!!! It will be so much fun!

Vegas: If you say so? 

Macau: …Yay.

Tankhun: Oh, fuck off! We all made up! See you at 8. 🖕🏼

Homecoming | Chase&Koda

summary: Chase calls Koda from the hospital, they are like ships passing in the night.

Chase dialed his phone and called Koda at their usual Sunday time. Anxiety gripped him as he wondered about how he was going to explain everything to his sister. He took a deep breath, held it, and then exhaled slowly as he waited for her to answer.

Koda was putting the last of the dishes away when her phone vibrated on the counter, disturbing Soup from his perch where he sat observing her. The cat shot her a look that said you could answer that, you know before Koda shooed him away and scooped up her phone. One glance at her caller ID and she nearly dropped it. Chase. More emotions bubbled up than she knew what to do with and she tried to push them back down. With a shaky breath, Koda answered her phone. "Chase?"

Chase felt his chest tighten as Koda answered the phone. When he’d said that he was calling Koda, Jesse told him that he told her that he was in the hospital, and so he knew that she was worried. “Hey, Ko,” he rasped, confirming that it was him. “Hey. Um, I just woke up. Like, earlier not just now, but y’know, I didn’t know if y’were workin’ or not.”

"Chase," Koda breathed out, not quite believing he'd called. "Oh thank gods...hi Chase." She covered her mouth in surprise at the sound of his voice. It was raspy and grating and Koda had to stop her mind from racing to all the bad things that could have happened. "I had the day off actually, been doing some things around the house-" She eyed the boxes around the room, "But that's not important. Jess told me, he told me that you were in the hospital. How are you doing?"

Chase licked his lips and reminded himself not to swallow. “Gods, I’d rather hear you talk about your day off than talk about that, honestly,” he sighed. “Um, yeah. I’m still there so they can make sure I’ll stay awake, but I think they’ll let me out soon.” He coughed and pulled the phone away from him so he could wince. “I’m okay. Better than before, honestly.”

Hearing her brother cough made Koda grimace. He sounded like he was in pain and she wished she could be there with him, to hold his hand and distract him from whatever injuries had landed him in the hospital. "Better than before," she repeated. "What happened before? Gods, I'm sorry, I doubt you want to talk about that. I'm just, I've been worried about you."

Chase automatically went to shake his head, then let out a small breath. "Um, no, nah, it's fine. Just, like, how I couldn't wake up and stuff, and now I'm awake." He lightly squeezed Jesse's hand, who was still sitting beside him. "I'm... I'm okay. I swear I am, Ko." He closed his eyes. "Dad came to see me, while I was asleep."

Koda could feel that he wasn't telling her everything, but she didn't want to press her sibling any further. "I'm glad you're awake. And Chase, thank gods you're okay." She could feel tears beginning to well up in her eyes and tried to keep her voice even. "Dad came to see you?"

Chase wiped a bit of drool from the corner of his mouth with his wrist. “Uh, yeah.” He licked his lips. “There’s this hag that someone’s using to attack me? And I guess other people too.” He frowned. “I have to stop her.”

"A hag?" Koda made a face, forgetting for a moment that Chase couldn't see her. "Attack you. And other people? Who else has been attacked? Attacked how?" She took a breath. "Sorry, I just went full mom-mode on you. But, uh, stop her how?"

Chase blinked quickly as he tried to process each question, and frowned at how shaky her voice sounded. “Gods, Ko, I’ve got this protective charm from dad, so I’m okay now. But, I have to go stop it in Newfoundland.”

Koda blinked. "Newfoundland?" She took a breath to steady herself, not missing how Chase kept dodging her questions. "Dad gave you a protective charm? Gods, we really got lucky didn't we? Best dad in the pantheon." She tried to joke, but her voice cracked on the last word. She covered her phone with her hand, trying to muffle the sound of her sniffling so her sibling wouldn't hear. "Chase, I missed you so much." Her voice was barely a whisper. "I was so worried. And now you're going to, to Newfoundland. Oh Chase..."

“Koda,” Chase’s voice was barely audible. He winced; it felt as though the word scraped through his throat on the way out. Tears threatened to make their way out of his eyes. Jesse pressed a hand into his arm and he shut them, focusing on trying not to breathe out of his nose. “Look, I promise I’m okay. I was having bad dreams and now I can’t, so I can sleep and nothing can get at me when I do.” His throat hurt from talking so much, and he licked his lips again. “I promise I’ll be quick. Right back to camp before you know it, and then I can go visit you and Soup and Renee.”

Koda rubbed a stray tear off her cheek with the palm of her hand. She could hear the strain in Chase's voice as he spoke and she winced, unknowingly mirroring her sibling. "Stay safe, and be back soon." She scrubbed her face with her hand again, trying to dispel her worries. "You won't have to travel very far to visit us any more, you know."

"Yeah." Chase's voice was still low. "Can you tell me about what's up with you?" He was losing stamina, and pulled his hand away from Jesse's so that he could take a sip of water.

"Well, um, you know, everything's normal. Just working! And um, Renee and I have been talking recently and..." She paused before delivering the news. Her voice wavered. "We decided that we're going to move to New Athens."

Chase almost choked on the water from the news. He dribbled it down his chin and Jesse sat up, grabbing tissues to try to help dry Chase off once he was no longer coughing. Tears were in Chase's eyes from the combination of the mishap and what Koda said. "Really?" His voice cracked. "When? Is it soon?"

Koda heard Chase coughing on the other line and made a face, realizing she'd taken him completely off guard. "Really! Yeah, soon. We've started packing the apartment and getting stuff figured out. I have to call about housing this week, and then figure out our job situation." She could feel herself close to tears again. "I was nervous to tell you, I didn't know if it was too crazy but- I talked to Jesse about it a few days ago and, I'd love to move back. I miss you too much." Her eyes watered, but this time her tears weren't sad, they were more of the overwhelmed and hopeful sort.

Chase took a shuddering breath in and touched a hand to his chest to help him breathe. He smiled. "Oh, gods, Ko, that's great. If it's really soon and there's nothing available, you guys can have my room for a bit. I promise I keep it pretty clean, it might smell like weed, but..." He had to stop himself from talking too quickly. "I miss you too, Ko. I want you back. That'd be so cool. I'm sure you could find a job here."

“Gods, I could see you and Jesse all the time!!! That’s insane to me and I can’t wait.” Koda smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear, chattering on. “I heard there’s a bar in town so I’m going to give them a call tomorrow too, see if they have room for two. That’s so sweet, offering your room!! I’ll keep you in the loop, I promise. If any of your friends need a roommate, let me know!” She was gushing, she felt her excitement overflowing. It felt silly, but it was a good thing to hold on to, and so she did. Hearing Chase say that he wanted her to come back almost made her cry even more. “Oh gods,” she sniffled. “Chase, I’m such a sap. I can’t wait to be back. You’re going to get the biggest hug. And you’ll have to help me build a fort in my new place!”

Chase wiped more drool away with his wrist and smiled, his eyes welling up again. He wasn't one who cried often, but something about the entire circumstance combined with hearing how excited his sister was and the fact that she was going to be with him again made his chest tight. He was so happy. "Gods," he whispered. "I can't wait to help you with everything. I'll get you some string lights to put up. We can make your place like a mini our place." He rubbed at his eye lightly. "I need to see when I have to leave. Something tells me that this is gonna be bigger than it is now." He sighed a bit. "Let me know when you're coming." He exhaled a shaky laugh. "Gods, gods, this is so cool."

"I can't wait either, oh my gods." They were going to be at camp together again, for the first time in? Five years, Koda realized with a jolt. It felt like forever and no time at all. "String lights! Chay, you think of everything! Oh my gods, oh my gods." She was still crying but she was laughing a little too. It was surreal. "This is the coolest, gods. Hearing you so happy about this is making me even happier." Koda nodded, thinking about Chase leaving. "Let me know when you find out, okay? I'll be at camp as soon as I can. Probably two weeks if everything works out and-" She paused suddenly, her hair turning violently violet as her face registered a look of surprise. "And your birthday!!!! Is in a week!! Oh my gods!! Chase we can celebrate when I get there!!!"

Chase could hear Koda’s excitement over the phone, and he closed his eyes as he smiled again. A few stray tears made their way down his cheeks, and he felt a reassuring squeeze on his arm from Jesse. “Of course I’m happy, Ko. We get to go from barely seeing each other to basically living together. You and Ree better get ready for me to never leave.” He laughed softly. “Oh my gods, that is next week.” He he shook his head slowly. “Sorry, the days are kind of all scrambled for me right now.”

Koda sniffled and wiped the last of her tears away. She laughed, "Oh Renee's already prepared to have you as a roommate. She said we'll be practically attached at the hip when we're together again. And she's not wrong." Hearing Chase laugh, despite his raspy voice and the knowledge that he'd called her from the hospital, warmed her heart. "I can only imagine that everything's a bit disorienting right now. How are you feeling?"

Chase wiped his face, lighter than he would’ve if it had not been in such bad pain. “We can be the wonder-twins all over again.” He sighed a bit and shrugged one shoulder despite the fact that she couldn’t see him do it. “I’m okay. So much better than when a fell asleep.” In a way, he was telling the truth. His mental state was much better than it had been but a week ago.

"Gods, we'll always be the Wonder-twins, Chase. Even if we were on opposite sides of the world. Did you know people at my restaurant assume we're twins anytime they see a picture of us on my instagram or something?" Koda's smile felt too big for her face, she was buzzing with the excitement of going home. "Okay, good. Just make sure you rest up and take care of yourself, okay?" She could feel that he was leaving something out; Chase had always tried to protect her and keep her from worrying too much. "I wish I could be there with you, you know I'd be there in a second if you asked me."

As Koda continued, the bruises began to melt from his face, replaced by light freckles across his nose and cheeks. He smiled so much that it hurt a bit– his nose, mostly. “That’s so cool. I’m gonna tell everyone that my identical twin born four months apart is coming back. I bet I can convince a few people of it.” He squeezed his eyes shut again and sighed. In all scenarios he’d imagined, he didn’t think the conversation would end up going this well. “I think I can wait two weeks. I hope. Probably.” He laughed. “It’s so close and so far.”

"Oh my gods, yes! You'll have to tell me exactly who falls for it so I know who I can mess with. Honestly, I don't think anyone at the restaurant would believe me if I bothered to correct them and say we weren't twins. Four months, four hours? Still twins." Koda laughed and ran a hand through her hair, finally noticing the color. All that extra purple warmed her heart. Idly, she wondered if Chase's hair changed in some way if he thought about her - did it turn teal or pink? "Probably," she echoed his words with a laugh. "Two weeks will fly by! Just wait and see. And I'll be there and I'm going to give you a million hugs because it's just been...way too fucking long since I've gotten to do that."

Chase smiled and leaned his head back. “Yeah, yeah.” He reached out to hold Jesse’s hand again. Koda’s call anchored him well enough, but he still appreciated the extra reassurance. “I’ll squeeze you so hard that you pop. Sorry it took me...” He chose his words carefully. “Being put through the ringer to realize how much I missed you, Ko.”

"Oh shush, " Koda said softly. "You don't have anything to be sorry for. I'm just glad you're in one piece. You are in one piece right?" She closed her eyes, listening to Chase's voice and being comforted by the familiarity of it. "I'd rather not pop. Who'd look after Soup? And Renee's heart would break!"

Chase laughed quietly. "I am in one piece. And I can adopt Soup! He can get along with all the Killers." He smiled and exhaled a small sigh. "Man, do you think our cats are gonna get along? Are they ever gonna meet? Do people do cat playdates and stuff like that?"

Koda smiled. "You know that you'd have to fight Renee for custody of Soup, right? But it's fine because I'm leaving almost everything I own to you in my will." She realized what she said a little too late and let out a very high pitched laugh that sounded a little more like a dolphin than a human. Koda grimaced, trying to recover, and launched right back into the conversation. "Of course they're gonna meet! Soup and the Killers are going to be best friends, just like we are. I'll bring Soup with me to you house like once a week or something. Cat playdates sound, like, totally adorable, oh my gods."

Chase laughed quietly. "My master plan is to actually have a group hug with you and Renee and pop both of you so that I can have Soup all to myself." He snorted at her laugh, realized that that hurt, and groaned quietly. "Ugh, good, my place will be allergy heaven. I've told you about my friend, Alec, right? They won't be able to step foot into my house again, but boy will they want to.”

"At least I know Soup would be in good hands if anything ever happens to me." Koda heard her sibling groan and grew quiet for a moment. "Yes, Alec! Maybe my apartment will be a little easier with just the one cat if they take allergy meds! Oh gods, wait Chase. Forget about me, Soup is going to be so happy to see you."

Chase smiled at the thought of cuddling with Soup and clicked his tongue. "Oh, I see, you're just going to get here and steal all my friends, huh?" He exhaled somewhat hard in a small laugh and licked his lips. "Gods, he is isn't he? Send me some pictures of him. I just wanna see the little fluffy guy."

"Not steal your friends, just persuade them to hang out with me so I also get to see you 24/7." Koda grinned. "Once I come back, you're not getting rid of me." She thumbed through some photos of her cat and quickly texted them to Chase. "I sent you a few! Ugh I can't wait for Soup to forget me and for you to become his best friend. Although, honestly, I can't blame him. As far as best friends go, you're the best one."

Chase laughed again. “Like you won’t be seeing so much of me you’ll be sick of me.” He didn’t pull his phone away just then to see pictures of his little furry buddy by sheer force of willpower. “I can’t wait either. I’ll get him a tiny Hawaiian shirt and we can match.” He laughed. “Oh, coming from you, who literally gave me a mom.”

"Chase David Peterson, my gods," Koda tried to put on a serious voice, but broke quickly to laugh. "I could never be sick of you and you know it!" The visual of her cat and sibling in coordinating Hawaiian shirts was too much. She put her hand over her heart. "Oh my gosh, stop, that's the cutest thing I've ever heard, like, in my entire life. Even cuter than us in matching Christmas pajamas." Koda's smile widened. "Maggie's just as much your mom as she is mine. She loves you so much, maybe more than she loves me. She asks about you all the time."

Chase almost laughed. "I know," Chase know what Koda meant immediately, that no matter what she was meant a million. "Obviously." He smiled as he thought of Maggie, but his heart ached as well, thinking about how long it'd been since he last saw her. "Gods, I have to call her soon. I'm gonna lose my spot as favourite child if she doesn't hear from me," he teased.

"We should FaceTime her together!" Koda gasped, excited. She stuck her tongue out too, even though Chase couldn't see her. "Maybe we'll be tied for favorite then." Her mom would be over the moon to see them, she knew. Especially together; Maggie knew how much Koda's heart ached for camp and her godly family. "When I get to camp and...whenever you get back, we should. Do you know when you have to leave?"

"We should, she'll love to see us together." Chase yawned and resisted the urge to rub his eye. He hadn't seen his pretty-much-adoptive-mother in a long time, but he didn't want to see her in his current condition. "Not sure just yet, but soon, I guess since she almost--" Chase cut himself off before he could say killed me, exercising caution for once in his life. "I don't know, just soon. I'll try to make it quick, though, in and out."

"In and out, like the perfect heist!" Koda caught Chase's hesitancy but didn't push him. Her sibling would tell her what was going on when he felt the time was right. She heard Chase yawn and checked the time. "Do you need to get some rest? I don't want to say goodbye but...I don't want to keep you up Chay, you must be exhausted."

"Yeah, cue the Mission Impossible theme song." Chase rubbed his eye and sighed. "I might go to bed soon, yeah." He didn't want to stop talking to Koda but his throat hurt. "I love you. Tell Soup I love him too, give him some kitty kisses."

"I'll give him some kisses and a big hug from you, I promise." Koda heard Chase's sigh and she felt a twinge in her heart. He sounded better than he had at the start of their call, but she could tell her sibling was a little worn out. She and Chase were capable of talking for hours on end and selfishly, Koda wished that she could. "I love you too. So much."

Chase smiled a bit. "I know. I love you," he said again. He rubbed his eye softly. "Jess says hi, and bye."

"Hi and bye to Jesse too." Koda tucked her hair behind her ear. "I love you, promise me you'll stay safe." She smiled softly. "Keep me updated, and get some rest. I'll see you so so soon."

Chase sighed softly. "Yeah, once you move in here. Gods, I'm so excited, Ko. I'm gonna let you go before we start telling the other to hang up first." He exhaled a laugh, then hung up the phone, leaning back against his pillow. He smiled to himself, feeling warm.

Koda laughed, "You know me too well. Love you, bye." She heard the phone click, signaling the end of the call and clutched her phone to her chest, beaming. Feeling very content, Koda looked around the room, spotting her cat poking around all the boxes that needed to be labeled and filled. "Guess it's time to get packing, huh Soup?"

6/4/20

Today has been pretty dang good. I woke up and got brunch with Joel. He came back to the house afterwards and hung out with mom and I for a while. He's definitely not someone I see myself getting super close to again but I like keeping tabs and seeing him every once in a while. Then Diana came home for, like, 10 minutes just to pick up her purse that she left here. I know she's been protesting the past few days but she told me she was shot at by police with rubber bullets. Oof. After she left we took James to a youth group event and took the dogs to key Vista park. There were a lot of trails and I introduced my dog to water for the first time. She seems pretty good with it, which is exciting. I was really hoping she would like the water. Then we took them to the dog park a little further down the trails. This was her first time at an actual dog park with a lot of dogs. She did perfect-no issues at all. After we came back mom took us to this drive through coffee place (white duck I think) and I got some really good drink (the espresso shake with chai tea flavoring). Since then we've been talking about all of the riots and protests going on, which led to discussion about race in general. She still has a lot to learn and isnt totally updated on what is and isn't okay, but she genuinely is trying. She kept saying how she really wants to talk to someone about this. It honestly was a really good discussion. That's what we've been doing pretty much the whole night, for probably about 6ish hours. We agreed on more stuff than I thought and she got less emotional than I expected. She kept saying how she wants to be able to talk about her ideas and bounce ideas off of other people and get their opinions, but she felt scared to because she didn't want to cause a rift in the relationship, like how she feels a lot with Diana, but then how she didn't think It was right to feel like that and she didn't want to feel like that, "as a fellow adult." I appreciated that, even though I was kinda uncomfortable with the discussion in the first place.

I think I'm going to re-name Riley "Koda." I like it.

I'm happy today. I'm happy that I'm not still with Alex while all of this is going on. In happy that I could re-post my Snapchat memory from 3 years ago of being at the J Cole concert and not be accountable to him. And I can talk to mom all night and not check my phone and not worry about if I'm going to make him mad or not. And that I went and got brunch with Joel and didn't have to deal with the bullshit from him that came along with that. It was freeing. I'm trying to notice these things.

Days like this are what I missed. Full of doing things and going places and seeing people, all very casual and stress-free. I don't want to forget to deeply appreciate days like this. Its been a while. No rush, just fun, full days.

I feel like I can start to love my present life again. This is step 1.
