Ruster pt.2

Buster: [do call and see, I really hope she’s at the shops like Johnny asked for peak inappropriate phone call timing]

Rio: [just in big tesco, nbd, you assumedly are and you should really remember that conversation and not pick up but is that who you are, no, to a fault, so we are answering but not saying anything, which is something I guess lol]

Buster: [Winnie says how many rings though sis, did she make him sweat even a lil before she picked up or were we blatant lol lol, also tell me why you can hear his smugness down this phone because she did answer even though he’s likewise not saying anything for a sec, I love y’all and your initial silences/ just breathing, the way his breathing is too steady so you know it’s a deliberate effort to be and not at all actually casual]

Rio: [Win says give me details gdi and he is right for that honestly, my apologies, idk how long phones ring if you just let them and the person doesn’t hang up, like can a mobile just ring indefinitely now? Who can say but we know you aren’t leaving it THAT long, it’s giving three rings or something like peeps do when they’re like lemme know you got in safe vibes; me like thank god you have shopping to be doing so you aren’t just staring at this phone with the !! you want to and would be if you were home because you need to at least sound indignant about and/or unaffected by his air of smugness that is palpable]

Buster: [eventually asking, after that BEAT of neither of them speaking has STRETCHED, ‘where are you?’ because he can clearly hear the supermarket background noise and hence is even more smug she answered if it’s possible for him to be any more rn haha]

Rio: [you love/hate a silence that says so much honeys, hence we out here holding out longer than necessary before we say ‘Johnny asked me to get [the thing(s) he did]’ to tell you where we are, likewise doing the most to sound so casual here like this is just a random call whilst you’re perusing the aisles and you aren’t admitting to a lot with answering]

Buster: [a sound that’s meant to be like mhmm/oh okay yeah that tracks but is forever less casual than that because he’s making it for her and giving daddy vibes always ‘you are on your best behaviour this morning’ like ofc that’s what you’re doing rn despite us having a serious convo prior to this phonecall but he didn’t have to phase it like that, except yes he did]

Rio: [doing a little omg choke back because ‘yeah he said that too’ and you didn’t need the reminder then and you don’t need it now, although you can see the funny side still you’re mostly 😳 of course ‘did you make sure you were alone first?’ because you took a while to respond]

Buster: [‘taking his daddy role seriously’ phrased like that because do you mean Johnny or do you mean you, heathen, shameless excuse to put the d word out into the world, we see you, but as if this is a casual convo letting her hear your (obvs quieter than a supermarket tannoy) background noise more clearly cos I imagine you’re likewise out and about whether you’ve been to boxing or football or whatever because he’s always busy with stuff and why not have the parallel of him being out and about and we haven’t specified whether this is a weekday or a weekend that St Paddy’s fell on so I can do what I want]

Rio: [‘baby will be a breeze compared to me’ said like it’s bants and what am I like but you are a little embarrassed how vulnerable you were with him, accidentally with the crying and then again this AM ‘but he must not hate me ‘cos he’s getting me a job’ because clinging to this job as something to distract you is all you have at the minute and you’re attempting to show Buster you are in fact trying even though you truly don’t want to because you still want him and you can’t tell yourself otherwise soz not soz]

Buster: [the way he was gonna say SHE’S a baby because he was literally still drunk (because such was the STATE he got in) until he did whatever exercise he’s just finished and sweated/vommed it out in a very undignified manner so being sober is a new concept but he is enough that he can stop himself but it was obvious he was gonna say something and it doesn’t take a genius so you might as well have just said it tbh sir, hear him running a hand through his curls instead as he shakes his head like no I must not, finally, asking ‘what job?’ because of the awkwardness and because he’s always failing the pretending not to care challenge]

Rio: [the expectant pause you do when you think you heard someone try to say something but didn’t hear what was said like oop sorry, go ahead but of course he is not going to go ahead and you can work out why if not exactly what he was going to say, eventually doing a little sigh like okay then and forging ahead like that moment didn’t just occur ‘don’t know yet, I just want to work’ because you aren’t opposed to anything truly, even if this wasn’t mainly an attempt to stay busy, you are a hard worker ‘maybe he’ll take me on his jobs’ with a lil lol because you know he absolutely will not and it is an amusing mental image]

Buster: [when it’s such an adorable mental image that when he joins the lol it’s so affectionate and so with her and not meanly at her that you’d forget he’s been an absolute dick this entire previous convo and know that it’s the audio equivalent of doing heart eyes so big at her rn, no notes]

Rio: [me and this girl here like why can’t it be like this always, as if we don’t know the answer because we don’t accept it thank you, doing the thing of not wanting to say anything because you don’t want this moment to pass]

Buster: [literally, the way it’s so effortlessly good when they let it be is what really fucks his head up because simply can’t let it be all the time and the injustice of that because they have the audacity to be related, catch him here eventually doing a sigh (after another pause for some more breathing post their shared lol) because of all the above and because he should hang up but as per he doesn’t want to]

Rio: [mhmm, oh lads, we really did you like that I’m so sorry, catch this girl always giving you an out because don’t have it in us to be cruel even when we could be ‘I know I shouldn’t have answered’ like I’m SORRY but there was likewise no way she was not going to]

Buster: [‘you wanted to’ not in an accusatory tone of yes hun it is all your fault bye but because she said he wanted to before he rang so it’s instead a way to acknowledge this is mutual without being like yep I/we wanted you to outright, the softness in his tone actually and the way it’s quieter will be the death of me, all traces of his earlier smugness totally gone]

Rio: [‘yeah’ using the exact same soft and quiet tone because we did, we do and we would again ‘you’re big on the truth’ because love to repeat someone’s words back to them always, and in this instance it isn’t in a sassy manner, just letting you know we were being honest]

Buster: [‘yeah’ to repeat her word back to her but also because he genuinely is and we hate so much that we have to lie to everyone rn, trying to lie to himself included, he wanted to tell his mum so hardcore and so many times nearly did, being even softer and quieter as a result]

Rio: [‘I know’ because you do know that about him and you know he’s only lying to try and make this possible in a way you should also be helping with but you find it so difficult ‘I’ll miss it’ in an almost wobbly small voice because you hate that you can’t even give each other honesty]

Buster: [‘I know’ in ref to how hard she finds it to be an arsehole unlike him, had to say it like that though so he could get another echo of her words in ‘I’ll miss you’ we all know there would’ve been a lil pause where he could have stopped himself from saying that but he did not because he wanted to give her that honesty, that tiny bit at least]

Rio: [trying not to immediately start crying again, because you don’t need to make this harder than it already is also you are in a supermarket but that’s far less relevant to you tbh but you can tell she is GATHERING herself by the way she’s doing dramatic swallows and nodding like okay, it’s okay, we’re okay ‘I’ll miss you too’ as a rush of words, as if you are being hurried but really you know if you try to think about it any more you’ll either be able to say nothing or say too much so you just gotta]

Buster: [‘don’t’ still softly but with a firmness that comes with daddy energy to genuinely try and stop her from crying because obvs you know she almost is, a daddy who cares if you will, speaking of, there’s nothing I’d like more than for her to cause a scene in big tesco and her new dad have to come and pick her up but alas he’s busy so we must find some chill, when you likewise wanna say a million things back but cannot so you just say her name with as much feeling as you’ll let yourself, pretending as if we’re remotely saying it like stop/enough of that/any kind of warning at all]

Rio: [very much doing sounds that are giving I’m sorry, I won’t as we continue to get it together because the kind of energy you appreciate, as well as appreciating the effort he’s going to to keep it together for himself as well as you ‘I’ll be better’ like I am so sorry for failing at being good right now, so sincerely too and the ‘really’ when he says her name like no I PROMISE]

Buster: [doing comforting sounds of his own which are lowkey unnecessary because she can and already is getting herself together but they feel very necessary to him in this moment, anything to focus on her so he doesn’t fall apart himself rn ‘you’re the best’ shamelessly blurted out as sincerely before he could stop himself even if he was going to which atm he clearly isn’t but we can’t care about saying too much cos we care more about saying what she needs to hear and giving her something to keep hold of because we all know that no matter what she is the best to ever do it and nobody does like her as far as he’s concerned so there’s no taking that back whatever else he may try to gaslight her or himself into thinking he never said/thought/felt]

Rio: [is clearly shaking her head ‘I make everything harder for you’ and scoffing so hard at yourself when you realise the double entendre because you did not mean it in this serious moment and are mad it just happened ‘it’s not your job’ softer, after this scathing energy directed towards her own self, because we know from what has been said that he feels like it is and you’ve said he has to, in saucier moments, look after you but you need to tell him he doesn’t because that’s the best you can do as far as letting him go for now]

Buster: [unable to resist doing his own noise like true because despite the seriousness of the situation there’s no lie detected in that double entendre ever ‘I’ve had more than enough shit handed to me’ with some scathing energy directed his own way because baze have made everything too easy and he doesn’t blame them but he also doesn’t want that for himself and his future cos he simply isn’t Nancy ‘and I haven’t got another lined up yet’ because no part-time jobs for him but also a way to tell her that he’s always going to, despite everything]

Rio: [‘you didn’t ask for it’ because literally, you were just born into the family you were born into, none of us ask for those cards and how they’re dealt, we believe that and aren’t about to drag you for your privilege here and now ‘you’ve got America in [however many days ‘til that first excursion]’ to be like you can keep busy too but also like I remembered that detail because I care so much about you don’t forget]

Buster: [‘neither did you’ because likewise not just the incest though ofc that but everything else ‘we’re dealt our cards blind, the only thing up to us is how we play the hand’ because literally what he believes too, hence I must, a noise that’s giving omg you remember, that kind of not at all casual intake of breath and we all know he’s thinking about when they talked about her going with him and he wants to say it but doesn’t, it’s HANGING there in the air regardless girls, eventually after such a dramatic pause as a result ‘I’ll have a phone’ because they have done so many phonecalls, not you saying you’re around still if she needs you]

Rio: [doing noises of agreement because you do fundamentally agree with this because you two are compatible and on the same page, soz to say except I am not, these noises turning into your own noise that I could capitalise but you’re trying to not do all that even though it was involuntary so you can’t help the !! fully ‘can I have your new account?’ shamelessly even though you said you did not want to see because we know you in fact do because you need to know what he’s doing and how he is]

Buster: [the way he stops breathing when he hears her noise cos he feels it in his bones and he’s so !! ‘Give me yours, I’ll give you mine’ as shamelessly because not over the fact she has one and we don’t know how long it has existed for or what might be on there, the possibilities are absolutely thrilling and he couldn’t be more turned on by them]

Rio: [‘I will’ as excitedly because however much you should do the ‘right’ thing and are attempting to, you will always be thrilled at having connection to him, you can’t help it; we also all know this account is you testing the waters of what you eventually want to do so it will be exactly the sort of content this boy will want to see]

Buster: [doing such a big lip bite about this that it’s almost audible because the prospect of being dropped new bae content of any sort when he’s absolutely rinsed every second of her other insta/all her socials has him ready to make a NOISE that he’s barely able to stop himself from, hence ‘hang up and send it to me’ because he needs access to this rn IMMEDIATELY before he can talk himself out of it]

Rio: [doing it with your own hot lol because can’t give any time for this to become a no or a regret either, not to mention you avoid the goodbye neither of you ever wants to say this way so hang that call up and send him your sneaky 2nd account, on however many platforms you have one because it’s probably a few]

Buster: [add her and immediately post insta story content of you sweaty and flustered from your exercise (and her) and looking so indecent as a result so she knows it’s you]

Rio: [react in a private way whether through sending emojis or a DM, just shamelessly thirsting and heart eyes however we go about it because we can]

Buster: [catch him as shamelessly reacting to everything she’s posted, the same kinda way, however long it takes or how far he has to scroll back, we can’t and won’t stop, no fucks given to where he is, who might be around or anything else at first, but hopefully he’ll find some privacy somewhere because we all know he’s gonna and gotta be touching himself as this escalates and be blatantly letting her know it too with what he’s then saying in his comments/with his emojis]

Rio: [messaging him via DMs here for the foreseeable because feels like a loophole to say what you want at this moment in time]

Rio: Now I have to somehow checkout and get home without dying

Buster: [likewise unless we otherwise specify because we can kinda pretend we’re different people/this is acceptable doing it here like this]

Buster: Or die at checkout because you can’t wait to get home

Rio: 🥺

Rio: Even at a self-checkout, that’s pushing it

Buster: You love pushing it, that’s what this account is

Rio: True

Rio: you aren’t going to judge me for it though, are you

Buster: Are you going to go as far as you can with me?

Rio: I really want to

Buster: Tell me

Rio: I want to take it as far as possible with you

Buster: [the number of miles from Dublin to London to Harvard not at all casually, love that you know that even in this state of !!]

Rio: [adding the miles to New York like I’m going to be there with you too]

Rio: That far

Buster: A little further, you need to add [a number of miles he hasn’t specified the meaning of and she wouldn’t necessarily be able to as easily guess teehee cos I can]

Rio: Where are you taking me?

Buster: To [insert somewhere where she’s said she wanted to go when she was a child and he’s not clearly remembered but keeps good enough tabs to know she hasn’t been yet, whether that’s her namesake place or wherever else we want, the point is he knows and wants to take her] and back

Rio: [ain’t no way Caleb is taking you in this lifetime so it’s definitely Rio]

Rio: You could leave me there and I’d only be mad at you for the one reason 😍

Buster: You know I couldn’t leave you

Rio: Promise

Rio: don’t ever leave me long, I need you to feel like me

Buster: I promise

Buster: tether me, I want you to

Rio: I’ll tie you to me, happily, always

Rio: I’m tiny, I won’t ever drag you down

Rio: and you won’t ever get tired, holding me close

Buster: Like a baby

Buster: I remember

Rio: You remember everything important

Rio: don’t you

Buster: No amount of [whatever drugs and drink combo he was on to get blackout, using Dublin slang as per how he does when he talks to her] could make me forget

Rio: but you’ll have some fun trying

Buster: But we have more fun together, don’t we?

Rio: And we could have so much more fun still, me and you

Buster: Are you buying yourself [something that’s giving an even more realistic replica of him because we all remember when, get yourself down the fruit and veg aisle lol]??

Rio: I would be if you told me to

Rio: *dared, sorry

Buster: I dare you to press them against you until you find one that’s [giving PRECISE details about his dick here to give her as vivid a mental image as possible and so she can get this right, whether that’s about thickness or a slight curve or both, we know the vibes] and makes you need to bite the inside of your mouth

Rio: Jesus fucking Christ, okay

Rio: how is LITERALLY every inch of you perfect, please?

Buster: Next time you’re in church, ask the question

Rio: You want me to think of you wherever I am

Buster: You will be whether I tell you to or not, you’re always thinking about me

Rio: How can I not

Rio: even if I’m trying not to, I’m concentrating all my energy on that

Buster: Like now, I can feel how hard you’re concentrating on avoiding detection, but you still have a dare to complete

Rio: [take a picture of your 😳 flustered face and have the background of where you are to show him you’re going through with it]

Buster: Good girl

Rio: If one has the [one of those PRECISE details] then it doesn’t have [another]

Rio: this is so hard

Buster: What are you going to do?

Rio: Keep looking

Rio: you’re perfect, nothing less is acceptable

Buster: Try until you succeed, exactly

Buster: which is why you’re perfect for me

Rio: You want me too

Buster: Truth, you can still dare me though, as you already knew it

Rio: You’re already touching yourself, which is all I really want you to do if I can’t

Rio: I’ll dare you not to block or unfollow this account though, no matter what

Buster: Keep looking and you’ll be able to touch me, however you want

Rio: Oh I’m looking, I feel like I’m about to be arrested for how I’m looking

Buster: I’ll bail you out, don’t worry

Buster: defend your honour, no matter what

Rio: Did I prepare you for your career?

Buster: You’re an angel, even now

Rio: Not right now

Buster: Especially right now

Buster: it would be criminal of me to deny you anything when you’re just doing what you’re told and behaving so well

Rio: You know what I want from you, it’s all I’d ask of you

Buster: And you know I’d only offer you what you deserve

Rio: You’re so good to me

Buster: We’re on the same level

Rio: We’ve never been like the others

Rio: you know I was bullshitting when I said you’d do this with anyone else, or that I would

Buster: I’ve always known we were more alike than different, deep down, where and when it’s most important

Rio: More twins than you and her, you said that

Buster: Yeah, you understand me better than anyone else

Rio: That’s why I worry about you

Rio: not because I think I’m incredible, but you need me

Buster: I think you’re incredible and I’m rarely wrong

Rio: [not you blushing more in the middle of this supermarket than when you were full-on shopping for replacement dick but of course you are]

Buster: Tell me you agree with my correct opinion

Rio: Only because you’re so sexy when you’re all demanding

Buster: Say it, I’m waiting to hear you

Rio: [you should be really damn embarrassed now but we know you’re also the most turned on so will do this regardless, enjoy that !! voice note]

Buster: I bet the entire aisle agrees with us after listening to you

Rio: The entire aisle is going to know way too much if I don’t get to somewhere with some privacy immediately

Buster: I should demand you stay there, knowing you like that so much

Rio: Do you think I can touch you how I want to here?

Rio: [a pic of the thing you have eventually chosen up to your lips like you’re winnie pondering but you’re just showing that they are bitten, ofc]

Buster: I have faith in you

Rio: Hm, you know I would if it was really you, anywhere

Rio: I suppose it’s only right

Buster: You need to start somewhere

Rio: [now this becomes a game of you being progressively but stealthily inappropriate with this as you walk around the shop, which you can prove to him to a point because hand and mouth stuff is only suggestive but he’s just going to have to trust you or y’all are going to cross that line once more for the rest]

Buster: You really love pushing it

Rio: So do you

Buster: I told you, we’re perfect for each other

Rio: I know

Rio: you push me

Buster: I want to, against every single shelf

Rio: You’re going to

Rio: it’s laughable how easy it will be to be alone

Buster: The world won’t end if I touch you, it’s ours

Rio: There’s so little difference in you telling me to fuck myself for you and you doing it yourself, to everyone else

Rio: it only matters to us

Buster: I’ll show you how much difference there is, babe

Rio: This doesn’t end here, at hypotheticals

Rio: show me

Buster: It’s too real

Rio: We belong together, I won’t deny it

Buster: Letting anyone or anything else call the shots is bullshit

Rio: I only want you telling me what to do

Buster: You make me proud and happy and feel a lot of things only you can

Rio: I can’t picture my life with anyone else, not how I can with you

Buster: Don’t, you’re mine, no-one else can have you

Rio: I’ve never belonged to anyone else

Buster: You never will

Rio: I’ve never been without you, you were waiting for me

Buster: I saw you first

Rio: You put your lips on mine first

Buster: It’s my turn again

Rio: I don’t need any other friends if you’ll play with me again

Buster: I promise not to spin any more bottles, you’re who I want to kiss

Rio: I’ve never been able to kiss anyone and not think about the time it was you

Rio: and I wouldn’t want it any different, I love how stuck my brain and body is to that moment

Buster: I close my eyes and they’re all you

Rio: Open them and it will be me, it has to be me

Buster: If I say your name any louder I’ll be the one getting arrested

Rio: No, it’s only natural you want me, I am so needy and obsessed with you

Buster: It’s meant to be intense, remember

Rio: You’re so bright and hot, literally but in all my memories, compared to everyone else

Buster: Vivid, that’s what you are too, in every room, actual and metaphorical

Rio: God, we’d be perfect together

Rio: actually the perfect couple

Buster: I’m not interested in having a girlfriend unless she’s you, the first

Rio: When are you going to ask me?

Buster: When I can ask you in person

Rio: I don’t even need to tell you that any of my boyfriends have meant as little as your hookups, you know

Rio: but I’ll tell you anything you want to know

Buster: All I ask is you don’t ever lie to me

Rio: I won’t, not even to do the right thing anymore

Buster: Promise

Rio: I promise I won’t lie to you, Buster

Buster: Your lip is almost bleeding, you know what to do

Rio: Am I ready?

Buster: You tell me, are you?

Rio: [simply show him the evidence that yes, you are]

Buster: You need everyone to see what I do to you, what I always have

Buster: you were born ready for me

Rio: I’ll go insane if no one else ever acknowledges it, it’s so obvious, it’s just a fact to me

Rio: I was literally made for you

Buster: Your eyes get so fucking big when they look at me, ever since you first opened them

Rio: You’re a lot to take in

Rio: can say that with near certainty but I mean, look at you

Buster: Yeah, look at me

Buster: [and sending her the most indecent images rn because why not when you’ve already described yourself in all the possible detail]

Rio: OH

Rio: [when there’s no need to exaggerate how huge your eyes are rn]

Buster: Don’t blink

Rio: I haven’t taken my eyes off you since I first saw you, now is no exception

Buster: I’m not letting you out of my sight when I see you again

Rio: I’m not letting you out of me

Rio: you’ll just have to live with me constantly attached to you I’m afraid

Buster: No further than [however many inches] apart

Rio: You deserve me at your disposal

Buster: And you deserve to be mine in plain sight, claimed in front of everyone

Rio: Why shouldn’t you get me, you’re the golden boy, it’s not just me that’s so proud of you

Buster: You’re a goddess and everyone but me is only human

Rio: They’d be happy for us, if they stopped and thought about it

Rio: how could they not, if you take me like that

Buster: If it wasn’t a family trait to prioritise your own happiness above all else neither of us would be here

Rio: Why break from tradition, what for

Buster: I don’t regret this

Rio: I never will

Buster: Neither will I, despite any bullshit protests I end up making to the contrary, you know that

Rio: This is the truth, whatever happens

Buster: Hold me to it

Rio: I’ll try my best

Buster: My eyes can’t lie either, try looking there

Rio: Your eyes are holy

Rio: there’s nowhere to hide when they meet mine

Buster: [show her that you’ve made her giant eyes your phone pic so that you can keep staring at it]

Rio: You really like me

Buster: You remember what I said

Rio: If I think about it now

Rio: I can’t

Buster: Find somewhere to hide and think about it

Rio: Can I have a picture too?

Buster: You can have anything you want

Rio: I need to be able to look at you too, whenever I need to remember

Buster: [send her one obvs]

Rio: [show him you’ve set it as your pic too because couldn’t be more in love]

Buster: When are you going to say it back?

Rio: I have, haven’t I?

Buster: Say it again, even if you have

Rio: [after you have clearly taken the time to get somewhere private like he suggested, sending him the audio of you saying he’s the love of your life because you have not said it exactly like that I don’t believe and you couldn’t sound more !! rn for all the reasons]

Buster: [send her your extra ass audio response because you will be absolutely sent by that and you need her to know it killed you despite the stop and start touching yourself you’ve been doing because she couldn’t and so you were clearly trying not to die many a time in solidarity and succeeded until this]

Rio: I barely made it into this cubicle

Rio: Damn

Buster: I’ll need a minute before I can leave this one

Rio: Understatement

Rio: but I’m glad I’ve got you alone

Buster: I’m glad you’re here too

Rio: I’ve hijacked your day

Buster: I’m the opposite of angry about that

Buster: not to mention, you often do, the difference was you didn’t know how much time or attention I devoted to you before

Rio: I’ll remind you how un-angry you are when you let me look after you

Buster: And I’ll remind you, regardless of what you’re planning, you can’t move more than [the length or his tongue] or [the length of his longest finger]

Rio: 🥴 no moving

Rio: Unless security comes but I’ll take you with me

Buster: If they show up I’ll protect you

Rio: It is only right you take all the blame for the state I’m in

Buster: Full responsibility is the least I can do considering what I expect you to take

Rio: You’re the opposite of scared of responsibility

Rio: that’s how I feel about your expectations too

Buster: I know, it’s why you don’t let me down

Rio: If I don’t get [whatever you were getting for Ali/baby Maggie] home sooner rather than later I’ll be in everyone else’s bad books so I appreciate that

Buster: I appreciate you staying with me

Rio: I don’t want to be anywhere else

Buster: Commit this to memory, I want you to commit to me in every possible way there is

Rio: There are no substances to hide behind or muddy any of it

Rio: This will be vivid too

Buster: The high’s all you

Rio: How are you real?

Rio: how has this happened?

Buster: Because I’m sick of forcing it not to

Rio: It’s exhausting

Buster: Yeah

Buster: I’d rather put my energy to better use

Rio: You need to, to get where you want to be, if nothing else

Buster: I need to when where I want to be is with you

Rio: You can’t leave it ‘til August now

Buster: Tell me when I should come back

Rio: Assuming right now is out of the question?

Buster: You’re already late home, so for you it is, arguably

Rio: The sensible and serious answer is whenever your parents next plan to come over then

Buster: What happened to your happy medium?

Rio: When do you think you can come over?

Buster: [something sporty that you can pretend you really need to be in Dublin for as a spectator which will blow your mum’s mind because you were just basically telling her you hate Dublin, but needs must, I shan’t commit us to an exact date but it’s clearly closer than the next big fam function]

Rio: You are so smart

Buster: Dad would typically come too but [insert some baze work nonsense which just means you know he’s busy then]

Rio: So

Rio: you can come alone then, no obstacles at all?

Buster: If my parents object I’ll launch a superior counter-argument

Rio: Nerd 😍

Buster: You’re welcome, babe

Rio: You’re serious

Rio: this can happen

Buster: Trust that I’m capable of making everything happen, nothing’s impossible

Rio: I already knew that about you, no proving it necessary but I’m not going to be upset when you do

Buster: [send her the confirmation that you’ve already booked this flight despite not asking baze cos that’s how confident you always are]

Rio: Are you excited?

Buster: [call her so she can once again hear you breathing because yes you are and that’s therefore the only acceptable response to that question]

Rio: [just listening to him for ages, having moved your face away from the phone clearly so your own !! reaction isn’t interrupting, finally hitting him with the most intense ‘me too’ like you just said ILY you said it with so much feeling behind it]

Buster: [catch him doing the exact same thing when that me too hits with all it’s intensity so he isn’t even more extra fully down the phone because she’ll know damn well the impact it has anyway and it’ll take him a sec to ask ‘Where are you meeting me?’ cos we wanna hear if she’s !! enough to say immediately at the airport or if she’s gonna have more chill about this, cos he clearly has his own plan to take Fearghal to see this sporting event, which is presumably a boxing match as those are expensive and something he’d be the most into, to be his alibi but also as he is genuinely soz he missed st paddys and disappointed him, haven’t yet verbalised any of this plan to this gal though lol]

Rio: [‘when does your flight get in again?’ said in a casual jokey kind of way, with a little laugh like you’re not being serious about how you want to see him immediately at the airport but we all know you absolutely are but you just don’t want to risk anything because it still feels precarious ‘I can meet you wherever, I’ll make it work’ because we too are confident we can make this happen]

Buster: [tell her seriously because you’ve memorised these flight times already and you’re not about to pretend you don’t wanna see her ASAP when it’s this obvious cos you’ve literally engineered this trip so you don’t have to wait for the next fam function, he simply cannot do casual I fear, hence also tell her all your plans re taking Fearghal and the times for the boxing match starting and ending and the venue etc so she also knows exactly what you’re doing and can genuinely decide where and when she’ll be able to meet him because y’all both want it to feel like a real plan and not just a fantasy, despite his tone giving this is a convo you’d have with friends or fam discussing what you’ve been up to nbd because can’t be too !! when she isn’t]

Rio: [making aww sort of noises about his plans, but in a genuine fashion not a patronising one because you see the vision here and think it’s a sweet idea to make it up to Fearghal and thus you are not planning to get in the way of this and invite yourself along or anything like that ‘will your parents let you stay at yours alone?’ as a next move because you can meet him there/stay there, is your thought here]

Buster: [making your own dismissive kinda noises back like no no I’m not being sweet at all ever I’m just using him as a means to get what I want because he is used to his being a dick persona and that just comes naturally in this era I’m afraid, even though we already know this gal sees through it and always has ‘I don’t see why not’ because you genuinely don’t, as far as y’all are concerned you’re grown af lol and in fairness you’re not little kids, again with the unspoken confidence that if baze are for any reason unconvinced he’ll convince them because he’s 1000% that bitch]

Rio: [affectionately and unthinkingly hushing you here like boy I know who you are you don’t need to play but we don’t need to labour the point as far as actually saying this in words because not really where we’re focused, ngl ‘there we are then’ casual and breezy words like oh that’s sorted then but the pause that is filled with everything we’re not saying and the way we feel about being alone with you is palpable and unignorable, clearing our throat like that’s going to continue to stop the words or make them come, either way, the !! is real]

Buster: [likewise not where his focus is rn so he’s not gonna stage a hardcore protest to the fact he’s actually a dickhead, we all know he isn’t and the entire point is always that he isn’t trying v hard because he’d love someone to see through it but she’s the only one who is ‘there we’ll be, yeah’ letting it really hang there that y’all will not only be alone but completely so, in his house for as long as you literally decide to be, because UNHEARD of, you’re used to getting a snatched moment of tension at most so far in your lives, couldn’t be more thrilled about the possibility or the reaction it’s obvious she’s having to it, so you can hear the smug grin again in his tone even as he’s matching her casual tone]

Rio: [doing a laugh that is the audible equivalent of blushing down the phone at him because you are hardcore, as if the prospect of what him coming over alone means has only just hit you because honestly, it has and all at once too ‘I’m not scared’ as if he just accused you of being scared, very playfully combative like how dare you, crossing your arms which he’ll hear even if the pout is only heavily implied in your sassy tone]

Buster: [doing his own laugh at her pout he can basically hear too because it’s so apparent and we love to see it because ofc he doesn’t want her to freak out about this even though it’s a massive deal and they both know that on a million different levels, not just because of being related but because she’s told him she hasn’t done this with anyone else unlike him being a big slag ‘So what are you?’ giving big tell me energy because he always wants to be knowing how she feels]

Rio: [when you’re just beaming down the phone like he can see you because love when he’s laughing, love when he’s happy, don’t mind us, shaking your head like focus, try actually saying something and not just being heart eyes lol, doing a hmm like you’re considering what you are just to keep him waiting for a second before you reply ‘excited, like you, remember’ because y’all are in this together]

Buster: [when you know that because you know her and you’re shamelessly doing your own heart eyes as if she can see them in response, don’t mind them just falling deeper in love here and now ‘I remember everything’ because he does and we don’t need to pretend otherwise anymore when we can reaffirm that as being the truth instead ‘like you’ didn’t need to add that but yes he did because they are in this together and she hasn’t forgotten anything either]

Rio: [mhmm, oh lads, we do put you through it but right now you are having a lovely time and as you should, we’ll be here smiling even harder somehow because of course you knew he remembered but he’s admitted it and that’s HUGE ‘I’m not going to forget’ said like that’s an impossibility because it is, even if we wanted to which right now we absolutely do not]

Buster: [enjoy it while it lasts guys because with y’all in this era there’s no telling how long it will, once again so aware exactly how happy this girl is because of what he admitted and living for it ‘it’s impossible’ being vocalised by him because it is and they couldn’t be more on the same page or connected than they are rn so shamelessly the easiest way to show that and I’m not above taking it lol]

Rio: [making dramatic noises of agreement because yes, exactly boo ‘good’ because never want to forget really and truly and we’re not about to wish that you could and let you off like that, no thank you ‘you’re mine’ quieter than how you are naturally speaking the rest of this convo but still, so assured and so confident]

Buster: [doing another lol like oh okay that’s me told as if it’s a diva demand that he can’t ever forget either and that she’s never letting him off anything but we all know that’s exactly how he wants things to be too, hence he’s not laughing when she says that next bit, doing his own DRAMATIC noise of agreement because yes he is hers and couldn’t be more into the confident way she said so]

Rio: [‘yeah’ with your own smug vibe like you’ve been told tehe but you are way too about his agreeing with you for your next ‘yeah’ not to be closer to a moan than an actual word, clearing your throat again because damn, trying to hold on to some composure here ‘will you say it when we’re together?’ a pause between when and the last part of your sentence as you clearly take time to think how to word the fact you are going to be alone, together and together in a way you have never nor never thought you would be]

Buster: [his own ‘yeah’ which does manage to be an actual word but is said so indecently and with so much !! because likewise thinking about them being alone together and all the things he could therefore say and do, having to do so more BREATHING down the phone about this, bringing us full circle because the excitement is at an all time high]

Rio: [matching his breathing because you really do have to take a minute here and you don’t want to hang up to do so because you never want to stop talking to him ‘[the date/time of his flight landing] can’t come soon enough’ because sure wish you were here already, need I remind you that she’s still in the tescos toilets and that is just not the vibe for how romantic you are feeling lmao]

Buster: [god knows where this boy still is too, it’s giving as unglamorous and unsuitable because it’s probably changing rooms at football or something if not also a toilet, god bless the juxtaposition lads it’s very amusing, tell her the time of an earlier flight you’re suggesting you could get even though you know damn well that isn’t what she means and also that if you meet her before you won’t wanna leave to go to this sporting event at all but he simply can’t help but be more extra ‘I could come on the [whatever earlier time]’ as if it’s casual when it is nothing of the sort]

Rio: [‘you don’t have to do that’ said in the way that makes it clear you’d not at all be mad if he did because of course you wouldn’t be but you’re not going to ask him to do it either ‘how long are you staying?’ because now just thinking how long you will have together, how much time this sporting event is going to take up etc]

Buster: [‘don’t you dare me?’ because he absolutely will despite the money it would waste to change a flight he’s already booked without asking, always gotta make her ask for things he’s already gonna do haha, a noise like hmm which she did earlier as if how long he stays depends on her and not on actual other real factors, we’re also likewise enjoying thinking about time they could have]

Rio: [‘it’s not a dare if you want to do it’ but catching yourself like I know, I know, ‘cos that’s all y’alls dares are lol can’t pretend otherwise ‘okay, I do, come on [this earlier flight]’ doing a hmm noise back at him as if you’re now considering how well you plan on behaving]

Buster: [‘Okay, what if I leave on [the latest possible flight he could on Sunday without taking the piss about school on Monday because I’m imagining this boxing match is saturday night plausibly and so he was coming some time saturday day, because can’t push it coming friday night he’s not THAT grown, which is now even earlier lol cos he’s about to change that flight as soon they are off the phone and he can]’? Like hmmm? Imagine that sis]

Rio: [‘I’ll make sure you getting home in time for school is a pointless exercise’ like you might be there Monday morning but you aren’t going to be able to concentrate on your work AT ALL honey and again we mean it so seriously]

Buster: [‘If it’s truly pointless, I might as well make you return home with me’ said as seriously as if he’s gonna bring her to London and she’ll just never go to school or home again because it’s how we feel in this moment]

Rio: [making a noise that is part excitement part agreement like okay, yes, do it as if y’all can because in this moment you want nothing more ‘I could find plenty of reason to visit London’ because it’s true, at least you both live in/near these capitals because it’s not out of the question that you’d want to spend time in either place]

Buster: [‘there are a lot of sights you haven’t yet’ because true of London but more importantly he’s thinking of everything they haven’t done together yet that her visits would let them, entirely in a saucy context atm because that’s the mood y’all are in and his tone is making that blatant, so much emphasis on A LOT, as if we needed it]

Rio: [‘you gonna be my tour guide?’ and making the awh cute noises again but sounding so indecent with it this time because we know there is nothing wholesome about such an offer because we all know what is being said and THOUGHT about here]

Buster: [‘I’ll show you absolutely all of it’ because we’re not gonna pretend otherwise, everything is always the vibe, no less, letting that sink in for the both of you for a sec because he so sincerely means it about not holding back ever]

Rio: [doing a soft yet unhinged ‘oh’ because you are so 🥺 thinking about this and you don’t even know what to do with yourself rn ‘I need to be with you’ do we mean now in this moment, or perhaps, always, who can say but we know we MEAN it]

Buster: [‘I know’ as if she’s doing the 🥺 at his face rn because that’s how it feels with how blatant it is and how in sync they are, soft, but we can’t lie, unhinged comforting noises as the only thing he knows to do atm ‘we’re soulmates’ as if that’s a fact and something he’s said before to the point of being casual and not just a really intense thing to drop here because he’s clearly felt it for so long that it doesn’t come across as something he’s telling her for the first time]

Rio: [making your own unhinged baby noises back because what are words but then he drops that bombshell so off-handedly that the stunned silence that comes after is in dramatic contrast completely accidentally but unavoidably so, doing very shaky breaths as the first audible response he will hear ‘we are’ not as a question but as if you can’t believe you’re able to finally be saying it out loud]

Buster: [has never focused on anything as hard as he is this silence and waiting her to fill it either with breathing or words because despite things feeling the least precarious they ever have here and now, you know that was an extra ass thing to say, however true you also know it is ‘we’re meant to be’ because however hard you fight it you cannot]

Rio: [‘I’ll do anything to be with you’ with your whole chest, blurting this out because you can’t keep it in, it has never felt truer than in this moment ‘you’re the only one who gets me’]

Buster: [‘I did everything I could think of to try and keep you away from me’ because years of that nonsense and nevertheless here we are, it hasn’t worked and he’s out of ideas for going down that road, which is HUGE of him to actually admit when he’s never that boy who can’t think of another idea ‘you’re closer than ever’ because true in every sense, they are gonna be alone together so soon but also they’ve talked more lately and had more phone calls recently than all their other awks convos before combined]

Rio: [making a noise of apology but not being able to say the words I’m sorry because even if you are it’s so deeply uncomfortable to admit that you could have made it easier for him than you did because you’re meant to be good and give a shit and it is undeniably selfish of you in many ways and there’s no hiding from that fact ‘we can’t help it’ realising this sounds too much like just an excuse for your liking and correcting ‘we don’t want to’ because you do have agency here and there’s a reason y’all are talking this much]

Buster: [a noise that fully interrupts her noise of apology as the - stopping it dead equivalent of him saying don’t without needing to say it, because they’ve both been selfish in their own ways and he isn’t hiding from all the wrong he’s done with his flawed approach, changing to a noise of agreement though at her correction because this isn’t accidental anymore if we could’ve ever called it that, he’s literally booked a flight, y’all are being deliberate now ‘I don’t want any regrets’ because his mum doesn’t have any according to her (Ro doesn’t count not soz) and baze are his role models, Bea especially no offense Fraze, not calling you a flop but when Nancy basically called him a mummy’s boy she was so right lol]

Rio: [‘life’s too short for them’ because who does, truly, no one we know and that includes us ‘you’re sure?’ like let’s just check in and avoid this getting messy if you think this is going to be the regret, not that that’s where you think his head is but you’re giving space for the possibility]

Buster: [‘the years I’ve already spent without you were too fucking long’ because truly how we feel rn and that’s without taking into account the rest of his life he was trying to avoid her for ‘I’m sure I can’t keep this bullshit up indefinitely’]

Rio: [the noise like that actually physically pained you to even contemplate it for a second there is all the ‘I know’ you need but you’re still saying the actual words too ‘you don’t need to, whatever happens’ with the confidence of being able to work SOMETHING out even though you have no clue beyond what you want to and hope will happen lbr]

Buster: [stopping breathing v dramatically when that noise escapes because it pains him to hear her make it and know why and what it means never mind the rest ‘I need to be with you’ throwing back her words from earlier before he dropped the s word because we love to do that and also it’s just true so he has the same confidence in that being what’s going to happen now that he’s decided to change tact and commit to this instead of being a bastard, me like oh hun little do you know, prepare to flip flop again v soon]

Rio: [‘you’re with me’ like he is the one that needs soothing right now but also just to say it and to feel as if it is true because in this moment it is and soon it’ll be true in every way it could be meant, so soz for what we’re about to do lads but y’all have no idea]

Buster: [‘do the maths’ because she’s good at it and you’re both nerds so obvs he’s gonna tell her to now they know which flight he’s getting and leaving on and it’s easy enough to minus out the fight stuff to work out exactly how long they think they’re gonna get to spend together, they cruelly are not but jemily can take a lil comfort in him ordering her to do that as if he ordering her to do something way more indecent lol]

Rio: [do do that maths like an excited little nerd, whatever it works out to, it’s the most time you’ve ever spent ALONE ALONE because you’ve never and at most it would’ve been a few pretty unsupervised hours in a day as children, not since you’ve developed these intense feelings as you aged so this is a moment]

Buster: [do a countdown so you get to be an excited little nerd too because it clearly isn’t a far away visit way in the future when the point was being extra and meeting up before the next fam function, so it adds to the moment how soon this is actually going to happen]

Rio: [‘I can’t wait’ again, in the sincerest way possible, spoken like a wistful lil sigh almost because not just a platitude to get you off the phone here]

Buster: [‘neither can I’ as sincerely meant because he wouldn’t have put a rush on immediately organising this if he didn’t, however much we know he does also wanna make things up to his gdad he would’ve waited until his bday to do that lbr ‘hang up and I’ll change my flight’ because absolutely must make that earlier like he said before he even gets home and discusses it with anyone ‘book the return too’ like lest you forget I’ve decided exactly how much time we’ve gonna have and it’s the max possible, even though jemily (and mainly Winnie) have decided otherwise and I just know he’ll end up getting the earliest one he can in the AM after kicking her out as soon as he gets rid of mcvickers/fearghal that PM but y’all aren’t aware of the incoming cockblock so]

Rio: [excitable noises like okay, okay because you want him to do both those things too and you need a reason to hang up that isn’t sad so you’re gonna take it but first the ‘I love you’ flying out like he is one of your loved ones and you’ve always been able to talk to him like this and not even think about it, the slight pause after when you realise that you just did that and that was not actually the case]

Buster: [when you never want her to hang up after saying that but also immediately want her to because !! there is so much you could and want to say in response that the pause is just stretching because it’s overwhelming and also you know her so you know how she said it and that she didn’t exactly mean to so then it’s like do I ACKNOWLEDGE this or not, so much just being expressed by this boy once again breathing down the phone for a second having a tiny debate with himself which is only lasting seconds but feels SO long ‘say that again’ eventually, not in a tone of I’m pretending I didn’t hear you and giving you and out if you want one but v much like say it like you mean it if you 100% do]

Rio: [likewise the silent internal struggle between wanting to immediately press end call so neither of you need to address it to wanting to address it so badly and make a thing of it NOW but you’re doing neither, just living in this silence fully !! until he decides for you, of course you’re not going to back down and deny it when you do so taking your time and saying it with as much intention as possible]

Buster: [when he’s clenching his jaw SO hard not to make even the slightest sound that could interrupt her saying this a second time that she’d be able to feel as well as hear it because despite telling her to repeat herself he could not be less prepared for the effect it has on his entire body because they are sober and this couldn’t be more intentional and it hits different and so deeply]

Rio: [when y’all are both sober in the cold light of day for all of this, can’t just turn around and say otherwise now, we’re way too far gone hence you weren’t going to not say it, even if the way your heart is beating in your ears right now means you feel like you literally cannot and would not be able to hear him reply so you do hang up in pure AHHHHHH vibes]

Buster: [the way he’d immediately want to and almost does call straight her back knowing she’d pick up again as fast but hence he must resist because she was mid running errands and he has to go home eventually and face real life too however much neither of y’all want to and this way at least it is on that high of her ILY being the last thing said rather than a goodbye or anything so that feels too perfect for rn for him to risk changing, however much we all know he wants to say and how much we all know he LOVES having the last word, fight it sir, you must so it’s cinematic and peak romance lol]

Rio: [my boo says dare y’all to stfu challenge and that’s so real honestly lmao]

Janis & Casey & Jimmy Pt.7

Janis: I’d bang whatever footballer I had to if they’d pay it off for him forever, no one needs to be worrying about the money

Casey: no you wouldn’t, tah very much

Janis: it’s a bit of a weird request to bring up mid-session so you’re alright

Casey: good, don’t be

Janis: don’t be cute

Casey: don’t be making me knock out footballers mid massage, it’d look well gay

Janis: but you’ve made it sound doubly appealing now

Janis: rude

Casey: you’re rude

Janis: nope, no one’s EVER accused me of that before, soz

Casey: they’ll have a job to if they fancy it now, ‘cause you’re also mine and I’ll not have nobody accusing you of nowt

Casey: unless it’s being the fittest girl in Dublin

Janis: you still want me

Casey: more than anything

Janis: I miss you

Casey: shut up, I’ll cry in a minute

Janis: You know that’s why I couldn’t say goodbye

Janis: that and I wouldn’t be able to leave if I tried

Casey: come back

Casey: please, just come back even for a bit

Janis: Casey

Casey: it’s unfair of me, I know it is

Casey: but

Janis: it’s not that

Janis: but it’ll have to be different, we can’t, and I know we shouldn’t have in the first place but

Casey: I’ll do whatever you tell me to do

Casey: I can’t be on my own here, I can’t fucking stand it

Janis: I know, it’s not fair, it was an unfair idea from the off

Janis: we can work out another plan whenever things change again

Casey: any number of plans, it don’t matter how many

Janis: right

Janis: I’m sorry, I’ll come back

Casey: okay, I’ll be on my best behaviour

Janis: me too then

Casey: I love you

Janis: I love you too

Casey: drive as safe as I do drunk

Janis: in theory less hysterical than I was on the way here so 🤞

Casey: 😏 dunno about that

Janis: oi, you heard I was on my best behaviour

Casey: you said me too then, sounded a bit forced, to be honest, mate

Janis: what kind of mate, doubting me already

Casey: sort who knows what you’re like

Janis: hate to bang on about it but me too, like

Casey: you’re meant to be driving anyway, stop banging on about owt

Janis: alright, sod you then 🖕

Casey: you’re leaving your sister’s not your mum’s, be here before you actually fancy swearing at us

Janis: Hmm, just a good thing I didn’t get into the full details of the whole marriage breakdown or unpack my bag, ain’t it

Casey: never get a word in with him going on about his injuries

Janis: well duh, how do you think we 🎣 him in first place

Casey: What did you even pack, state of your head when you was

Janis: I’m good at it, and it was basically done before the appointment bullshit anyway

Janis: luckily, had to pull over before I went there, looking well tragic on the side of the road

Casey: oi, nah, I’m not having that, who’s good at packing

Janis: me, dickhead

Janis: all you really need is a pair and a spare but I did do a bit more than that, before you start

Casey: long as you’ve left me something to wear

Janis: only the best 👙 for you

Casey: tah

Janis: I only took 1 thing of yours, swear

Casey: what did you leave for me though

Janis: loads of stuff

Janis: broken table and chair for one

Casey: don’t count, I’ll have to fix it however much I miss you

Janis: okay, so what do you want

Casey: I’m not thinking about it

Janis: Hey, I’m nearly there

Casey: go on, tell us what you nicked

Janis: [whatever t-shirt you were wearing and would’ve taken off when you were getting ready for this day like literally out of the washing pile vibes]

Casey: and you’ve still got the 1 I gave you, yeah, said it’d be adding up, like

Janis: are you keeping count?

Casey: reminding you, and myself an’ all

Janis: I won’t forget

Casey: I’ll not let you

Janis: you promising

Casey: I get how bad you wanna break my finger, but too right, and gutted for you I’ll be keeping it

Janis: 🤏

Janis: I’ll cope

Casey: don’t doubt that

Janis: maybe you should but

Janis: 🤫

Casey: [not replying for the bants as if he’s 🤐 lol]

Janis: 😒

Casey: What’s that face for

Janis: ignoring me

Casey: best behaviour remember, I were only doing what you told me to

Janis: sounds like me

Casey: but you can’t claim being good, as you’re still not here

Janis: are you planning on making it that much of a challenge or

Casey: I should, since you love when something is

Janis: but we’ve both got other things we have to do

Casey: we do

Janis: get us a pen and paper, I’ll make a list

Casey: you’re already on your phone

Casey: and there you go reckoning you ain’t old

Janis: I’m going to stick it on the fridge, knobhead

Janis: be a bit too pointed sticking it to his forehead but I ain’t CC’ing him into anything either

Casey: you and technology, you’d send one of us the wrong thing

Janis: not gonna be sending you nothing keep on like this

Casey: believe that when I don’t see it

Janis: 💀⚰️👻 your DMs

Casey: RIP to nowt but your willpower you’re fronting you’ve got now and won’t have when you get in

Janis: I can and I will

Janis: watch

Casey: I will, there’s your first hurdle

Janis: [do pull up to this house because wouldn’t have been too far, even with driving more carefully ‘cos you’ve been blabbering]

Casey: [bringing Chubby out to meet her from the car so he’s not barking up a storm inside, that’s obviously the only reason we’re that eager, yep, not been waiting or anything]

Janis: [leaning over to give this dog all the love like oh I’m sorry, as if he has any clue who actually lives where yet because so confusing for him lmao then straightening up to give him a hug to prove you totally can but also because you just legit have to because what a time]

Casey: [watching her love upon this dog as if we’re only doing it because he said he would be watching her and not because we’re actually shamelessly checking her over how they do, it goes without saying he’s hugging her back so dramatically, even if he tried to keep it casual for a sec at first there’s just no way he isn’t then immediately clinging to her like his life depends on it in the next sec]

Janis: [‘hey’ from inside this hug which of course we need to have, it’s been a day for us all honey]

Casey: [saying it back, ofc, with all the feeling]

Janis: [breaking it enough to check you over too, likewise ofc and giving your hand a SQUEEZE like alright, we can do this, before gesturing like let’s go in]

Casey: [at least he can let her go in first because gotta manhandle Chubby back into the gaff cos he’s probably being nosey in the nosey neighbours’ front garden or something lol]

Janis: [just doing a shit lmao, get your life boy, we’re on a mission to do this better, somehow, and we’re genuinely writing a list of all the things we can do as if any of them are going to resolve this but we are trying for god’s sake; today all it’d really be is getting the house back in running order fully like okay so chores and doing a shop and all the mundane things that adults need to do and then attempting to talk to Jimmy again for us]

Casey: [I fully imagine him just already getting on with some of said chores even before she’s finished writing the list because most of them are pretty obvious, tidying up and actually properly attempting to fix the table etc]

Janis: [just doing the appreciative smile but trying to just let you get on without interrupting ‘I’m going to make tea’ ‘cos clearly we’re going to make something Jimothy likes like would you please eat this thank you; but we getting up to go upstairs first ‘cos we need to go in the loft, brushing your hand over his back like brb]

Casey: [‘have a think what you’re gonna be after from the shop’ as she goes cos obvs he will go shopping to be helpful but even more so does genuinely need to get out of this house for a minute too because it’s v quiet and he feels trapped]

Janis: [‘I’ll message you the list’ ‘cos they collate them for you now usually so by this time deffo, looking back over our shoulder like ‘cos I’m NOT old 😏]

Casey: [doing his own smirk back at her, you just know he’ll be going off list but in such a cute and thoughtful way, he’s that sort of boy]

Janis: [we love to see it honestly, also pretend that list is here lmao]

Janis: You can take my car and fill it up with petrol, another ✔️

Casey: I’ll take it through car wash as well, seeing as we’re mates

Janis: Wish you could take him, he’d not know what the fuck that was about

Janis: thanks though, be as long as you like, big Tescos a trek from here and I’ve got it for now

Casey: in a bit, Janis

Janis: 👋

Casey: [get out of here, sir, jobs to do]

Janis: [meanwhile we’re putting up an airbed/campbed moment in what I imagine was meant to be the dining room but is definitely Jimothy’s office for ourselves after having got that down because it’s a more permanent solution than stealing Bobby’s bed whilst he is not here or crashing on the sofa, also going to knock on the bedroom door but not expecting a response so will also send a message like at the same time]

Janis: I had to come back, that was me, if you’re awake

Janis: you don’t have to talk to me right now, or we can just stick to, I don’t know, but I’d like to make everything a little less fucked

Jimmy: [Definitely not an immediate reply because I doubt you were awake but not leaving you waiting hours either because that’s simply impractical for our purposes]

Jimmy: How?

Janis: I’m not saying I’m 100% but

Janis: I can definitely start by not treating you like a dickhead, for one, not running away for another

Jimmy: okay

Jimmy: What do I do?

Janis: We can trial and error but I reckon you might feel better if you can have some meals, it breaks the hours up into more bearable chunks again

Janis: what do you want to do, though, most of all

Jimmy: I wanna give Bobby a ring

Jimmy: what time’s it?

Janis: ‘course, it’s nearly tea time

Janis: I’ll make you a cuppa, actually, so you aren’t all croaky

Jimmy: and you can tell us what I look like

Janis: no problem

Janis: if you want a shower or just a quick going over, plenty of time

Janis: I’ll be up with the brew in 5, okay

Jimmy: 👍

Janis: [come on up with this tea and obviously you’ve got one too, trying not to STARE at him but also not act so nonchalant like you aren’t bothered at all because it’s not true and we don’t want to portray that ‘hey’]

Jimmy: [actually looking at her even though it’s probably not full eye contact just in her direction when she comes in, because he’s trying]

Janis: [trying not to immediately start bawling but the relief is so real, at least you can smile at him, even if you don’t wanna be too much with that either, just giving him a little hug as you lean to put this mug down on the bedside drawers]

Jimmy: [not hugging her back in any way but equally not retreating into himself or pulling away so that’s great news]

Janis: [doing a little nod, purely to herself like that’s okay, that’s good because your immediate innate response would to be like OUCH but obviously, it’s a very warranted and real reaction so you have to remind yourself, handing him his mug and picking your own back up to have a sip]

Jimmy: [holding this mug because it’s warm and comforting and also just such a natural thing to this boy because he loves tea ‘I thought-’ a pause that feels like it spans a million years but obvs doesn’t ‘you’d gone’ because watched you go, sis]

Janis: [nodding to confirm you did and that’s correct because no need for gaslighting ‘I only wanted to go to make it easier for you and-’ being unable to say and maybe that time will come, shaking our head because it’s too painful ‘I think it’s better if I stay, for now, if that’s alright…’]

Jimmy: [‘I wanted-’ because wanted and v much still do want this gal to stay, obviously, a look on his face like didn’t I say that, because everything is confusing and jumbled and what happened when, what did he say in his head and what was out loud, we’re not sure here and accidentally looking adorable about it]

Janis: [reaching your hand out but not making contact about it yet ‘you didn’t outright tell me to fuck off, but I reckoned you wouldn’t and you know I know best, yeah’ rolling our eyes at ourself like ugh but shrugging like that doesn’t matter now, seriously ‘I want to be around you, not on my own and pregnant, and I wanna see you back to your old self’]

Jimmy: [picking up her hand and drawing lots of little ? on it, unaware that he even is, really, as he tries to make sense of everything as well as remotely trying to take in what she’s saying, eventually, again after a pause that’s longer than feels right ‘what about you and the baby, are you alright?’ because realising we asked 0 about the doctor’s appointment actually]

Janis: [locking our lips and doing the pause hand gesture to ourselves like sorry, I’m going too fast and I’ll chill, drinking your tea because you haven’t talked in so long that you’re now word vomiting at him, just watching him draw these ? quietly and then looking up when he asks, doing the kind of laugh you do when you wanna happy cry but are not ‘yeah, it’s really early for-’ pointing at your stomach ‘cos still all kinds of weird about the subject ‘-but all good, far as they can tell… how are you?’ even though we know the answer isn’t going to be anything pleasant, because we’re trying to show we’re not here to kick you up the arse today]

Jimmy: [visibly breathing slightly more normally because she said she’s okay and that’s one thing to stop worrying as much about, because obvs will never stop worrying entirely, he’s just not that bitch, taking a sip of tea instead of answering though because again, not even deliberately trying to not, it’s just who he is, but eventually saying ‘how do I look?’ because not trying to scare the shit out of Bobby on this facetime, v much the opposite]

Janis: [matching your breathing to his because it’s comforting to be able to do so and not feel entirely sick, also not pushing you to say how you are, it was more to make a point of asking because we do care, we can see how you are without actually needing to be told; looking at him, properly, like you’re critiquing a piece of art ‘not bad, bit pale’ putting your arm against his like you’re comparing shades, ‘cos now isn’t the time to lie but it’s also not the time for brutal honesty about it ‘reckon if you have your tea first, let him have his’ like that’ll get a bit of colour back into you ‘we can shower but it is me here’ v much like I won’t be leaving the bathroom, so bear that in mind]

Jimmy: [‘give you chance to find out your fake tan and crack on with it’ because we all remember those bants and I simply must]

Janis: [😏 ‘ask Gracie what filters look ‘natural’ these days’ just trying to have a convo whilst you look like a Kardashian, nbd]

Jimmy: [‘if I don’t look like I’ve seen the lass who does her lip fillers I’m not doing it’ always such fun to shade Grace, soz girl]

Janis: [‘priorities’ said like you’ve got them SO right, babe, even if you are sneaking a look at his actual lips for a sec there]

Jimmy: [‘you got round to hiding the razors yet or what?’ because I’m picturing when Nico looked like a homeless hippie in peak panny d, also if we don’t have dark humour what do we have]

Janis: [‘you’ve got terrible facial hair’ ‘cos clearly y’all cannot grow beards, we’ve seen your brother, unfortunately, and we’re allowed to be rude about this like yes, you should sort that ‘encourage him to copy you again, he’ll look like a right dick’ ‘cos teenage boy bumfluff, God bless; looking faux offended ‘what kind of amateur do you take me for?’ lifting up the covers feet end like we’re checking he hasn’t got shoelaces on]

Jimmy: [‘Oi’ could be to the facial hair slander or making his feet cold or both, truly, point is, it’s being said and it’s more like his normal playful tone not as soft and sad for a sec]

Janis: [lowkey so !! but trying to be genuinely lowkey about it aka normal ‘and your hairs getting long’ gently pulling at a strand like honestly ‘gonna let me cut it’ like LOL go on]

Jimmy: [‘you can do’ so sincerely and unthinkingly because like Casey he do have them trust issues af but not with this girl and that wouldn’t have changed in his head yet because it really has not sunk in about the whole cheating thing, we know why]

Janis: [‘not as long as his, anyway’ shaking your head like no, you’ll do because can’t be going there, letting go of this strand of hair from around your finger]

Jimmy: [just being lost in Bobby related thoughts for a bit, how could you not]

Janis: [we know you so we know you are, and letting that be because you don’t need to be the chattiest of Caths out of the blue to be doing better, obvs; but we are chipping in after a while to let you know the summary of he’s all good that we’ve clearly got from mcvickers whilst he’s been there ‘be good to get him back home’ we definitely mean for you ‘cos we know it won’t be for us but that’s okay lol]

Jimmy: [drinking this tea and listening, I wanna say he remembers something like a school project or whatever that Bobby has due idk but you know the vibes, something he should’ve signed or something Bobby needed that he’s not forgotten despite everything because he’s still him despite everything, so telling her]

Janis: [just assuring him Bobby would have sorted it and it’s all under control ‘cos even if it wasn’t it isn’t important, it’s just school ‘he can tell you himself though’ reminding him like you can talk to him and ask]

Jimmy: [‘if I can get a word in about owt but the dog’ over exaggerating but we do know what bibi are like lol so it’s a fair piece of bants]

Janis: [doing an oopsie kind of shrug like you know me ‘dog never stressed no one, yeah’ full lol lol RIP Twix]

Jimmy: [‘thought it were her’ because at some point half asleep he’s defs heard Chubby and thought he was Twix because that’s just what half asleep peeps do and we know he loved her really]

Janis: [doing the sort of sad smile you do when you remember her ‘he’s not as bad at pissing everywhere, be glad to know’ looking to the door you’ve clearly closed ‘you want me to get him?’ like do you wanna meet this man because why not, he’s just bumbling somewhere lol]

Jimmy: [‘comes from having none of Ian’s shoes about to aim in’ because Twix hated that man and we stan, following her gaze to the door ‘you tell me’ like am I gonna hate this dog too, as if you ever hated Twix you liar and fraud]

Janis: [‘I’ll go nick some’ with more seriousness than the claim requires because we all know you would shamelessly, even though you are an adult lady now lmao, getting up to open the door and shout for this pup, turning back like oh please ‘Gonna get Libi one too but shh’ like mwahahaha as Chubby is bounding up the stairs like an elephant to come get you like oh hello new friend]

Jimmy: [when he’s a gorgeous giant baby and absolutely jumping on this bed and licking Jimothy’s face immediately so how could he not genuinely smile and give Chubby love, breaking my heart a little bit]

Janis: [just watching Chubby work his magic from the doorway so genuinely happily for this moment, just giving him praise and love too whenever he acknowledges her like yes good boy]

Jimmy: [we all know he’s gonna put his head in Jimothy’s lap once the initial excitement of meeting him is over because dogs know when you are sad and I’m not okay]

Janis: [coming back in and giving his giant head a little pat because oh Chubby ‘see’ gently like you love him and he loves you]

Jimmy: [after however long of just gently loving this dog ‘How’s this one look like you an’ all?’ part bants but part a genuine question, looking from this dog to her because he knows there’s something but he can’t place why, doing the pisstakey finger measurement against their heads like oh is it because you’re both big heads but shaking his own like nope]

Janis: [😲 and pushing him a little like how DARE you but obviously we love to see it, putting your head beside Chubby’s like there is no comparison actually, can’t you see, which is a bit of a whoops move on your part but recover like your head wasn’t just in his lap there too, only slightly flushed ‘his eyes’ nodding at him like see]

Jimmy: [actually making eye contact and keeping it because gotta look at your eyes, soz, not at all romantic af or upsetting me because he hasn’t looked at this dog’s again to check, just purely looking at her here]

Janis: [maintaining it because we don’t want it to be a thing that we cannot or something ‘you can say it’ with a sigh ‘his are better’ like I shall accept, because if you don’t at least try and joke, you’re just staring back at him too]

Jimmy: [‘I can’t’ soz for the accidental shade there Chubby, you do have beautiful eyes too sir but]

Janis: [you have to be the one to look down, have some decorum, girl, even if you’re still 😳 ‘hurt his feelings’ mumbled like Chubby is sat here like in front of my salad]

Jimmy: [giving this dog some more love in a soz mate kind of manner but we all know damn well he’s looking at her still after the briefest of initial look downs at Chubby]

Janis: [ahh, everything is so confusing and you know you have NO right to do or say anything about this right now because that isn’t fair but as if your feelings are gonna just turn off like that to nothing, obviously not]

Jimmy: [we all also know he’s playing with her hair rn, I cannot stop him ‘I’m sorry I hurt yours’ because we are, much more sincerely than those words could ever suggest]

Janis: [‘me too’ because we really are, and it’s good for you to be able to say that to each other, even if this is very !! ‘really sorry’]

Jimmy: [‘I’m so, so fucking sorry’ it sounds like he’s just trying to outdo you here but there are no bants or competitiveness detected rn we’re just !! and very sad]

Janis: [breaking on this ‘me too’ but not in the absolute hopeless, I have 0 idea what I’m doing or how to solve this manner of before of being purely terrified for you and ourself but just because it’s fucking sad, lads, reaching out like can we hug this time please and thanks]

Jimmy: [do even though he’s for sure crying and I want to]

Janis: [Chubby will be unhelpfully kissing y’all but also cockblocking y’all from doing so so thanks for that because you would]

Jimmy: [he so nearly did and my heart cannot take it sir so don’t]

Janis: [you seriously can’t girl, you know what you’ve done, I will slut shame you, dry your eyes like fucking hell ‘won’t be saying hello now’ like the state of me]

Jimmy: [‘be having to ring Gracie first if we keep on’ like give us your puffy eye after crying tips please]

Janis: [a noise that is just like GOD NO ‘anything but that’ wiping his eyes, not softly but like bants roughly like let’s sort this now then]

Jimmy: [‘there’s the one other way to go about it’ in a thank god for that kind of way, and moving to try and get up, despite the loaf that is Chubby not really helping, like I’ll go shower or whatever and everything will be fine, no Grace necessary]

Janis: [moving Chubby like excuse me sir, please cease and desist ‘you alright for…’ ‘cos do you want me to come help or nah but saying that feels awkward to just say like that]

Jimmy: [‘only really the one way to find that out, an’ all’ cos I’m gonna go and let him try and do this but then probably have him message her in a sec like actually help, because that feels like progress but also realistic for where we are]

Janis: [nod and get more comfortable on this bed, giving Chubby some attention like you must stay here and not follow too, thank you but gesturing at her phone and the general proximity to the bathroom ‘cos we’d hear if you needed us if it was an emergency, not to be dramatic]

Jimmy: It’s no use

Jimmy: I can’t

Janis: No worries, I’m gonna come in now, see how much we can get done together

Janis: [because not going to just bowl in like oh hi but also don’t want to leave you any sort of time so we’re doing a little knock and coming in back first so you can sort yourself however much you feel comfortable to]

Jimmy: [when you’re just here like you’re in someone else’s house and don’t know how the shower works or what to do]

Janis: [taking off any heavier layers of clothing so the stuff you do get wet isn’t weighing you down or making you v uncomfortable but you don’t have to fully strip off like you’re trying to make a move on him ‘shower?’ like you can have a bath if you think that’d be easier]

Jimmy: [getting in said bath rn even though it’s clearly got no water in it like we’re testing to see if we can and that will work, bringing back so many bad mems to all the times he was injured, thanks for that Ian, because truly how it feels, everything is so difficult]

Janis: [‘good practice’ without really thinking about what you’re saying ‘cos have to bath the baby, of course ‘don’t want you getting wedged’ like he’s massive for the bants but really it’s like yeah, probably easier to get you out of the shower, so putting your hand out like come on, let’s do that instead ‘you had it right’ like that was my stupid idea, gently and chill as either of you could be in this moment]

Jimmy: [looking at her stomach for the first time since I think he did when pregnancy test reveal, because you’ve bathed baby Bobby we all know you have, sir, when that handhold is as life depends on it as the jc hug was earlier and I’m FINE]

Janis: [when you know he’s looking at your stomach ‘cos spidey sense, even though you’re very much just trying to focus on getting him in the shower in the most comfortable way for him, which is probably leant against the wall or sat against it, either or, getting in with him so you can pass him the soap etc and direct said shower at him, very casual, nbd at all that we’re still holding hands]

Jimmy: [they’re doing an us, he’s me and she’s you]

Janis: [truly, ‘cept she’s half-clothed which would be something you could be like lol what are we like about]

Jimmy: [I like to think he’d at least try to take some part of said clothes off her when he realises, not remotely in a suggestive way but yeah like what are you doing, you don’t need these, how successful he would be is debatable in this state but the attempt is there]

Janis: [‘they’re wet now’ like it don’t matter vibes but at least stripping down to your bra and pants like alright, there we go, spritzing him in the face for a sec for the bants like okay let’s start there]

Jimmy: [thank god that would distract him and then he’d be focused on actually trying to shower and get clean which would feel like an impossible task because we don’t need him looking at her bruised af body and shutting down again]

Janis: [again, another mistake on your part, clearly not thinking clearly are we, thank god that it’s steamy and we’re both trying to make this as effective as possible like let’s get you feeling fresh because it does help]

Jimmy: [it really does, as will eating something, however much he actually manages to]

Janis: [at least when it comes time to get him out you can wrap a towel around yourself too and get those out of view before either of you realises and wants to die, directing you to the sink ‘cos have to shave your face ‘won’t have any arguments’ like we cannot stand your facial hair that hard]

Jimmy: [the way he’d be trying to do this without having to look at himself a single time in the mirror, same boy, and it’s heartbreaking, thank you, please take over so he doesn’t cut himself gal]

Janis: [we clearly will, just putting our hand over yours like nay nay ‘won’t leave a Hitler tache’ crossing the fingers on our other hand directly in view like hohaha but then focusing on cleaning you up, soz it’s an intimate task but needs must]

Jimmy: [not me thinking about him teaching both his brothers how to shave, because is Ian going to, no, cheers for that brain, if I’m thinking about it Jimothy definitely is and the Casey of it all really hurts]

Janis: [nope, none of this is okay, respectfully get this done as quickly as you can miss, like to think we’ve brought your clean clothes in here because our plan is to see if you’ll go in a different room for a change of scenery too ‘best light this time of day is in your office’ because you would need good light to be able to sign and the implication you’ve been doing work is better than hi I’m in bed, which we assume you’ll pick up on too]

Jimmy: [doing the photographer camera hands without even thinking about it because that’s what good lighting brings to mind, like he’s gonna take a picture of her rn, because how often that’s been a thing]

Janis: [nodding like yeah, exactly, even if you’re only making eye contact via a steamed up mirror rn, pretending you’re looking at some stray eyebrow hair or whatever on your face]

Jimmy: [I’m so glad Chubby will be waiting impatiently for y’all and that’ll hurry you along because that gesture of his made me nearly cry for some reason, I am not okay, lads]

Janis: [just whining at the door how pups do ‘popular’ like he misses you, sir, giving him a hand with his t-shirt without taking over]

Jimmy: [it’s the quiet ‘you’ for me and the therefore stated obvious fact that Chubby misses her actually because she’s been living a life that he’s only been vaguely overhearing that’s really upsetting me rn]

Janis: [shaking your head a little too insistently like no he wants you actually like we don’t have to address the rest of what that does and could mean this way ‘I’m making you [his fave], Bobby’ll be gutted’ ‘cos I’m sure it’s likewise your fave sir]

Jimmy: [when you on autopilot say ‘you’ll have to make it to welcome him home’ without thinking or wanting to have to think about when that’ll be or if she’ll even be here or if she is what a normal cosy fam meal that won’t be, but then of course you are]

Janis: [‘if you want it that many times on the trot’ like he’ll be home that soon because that’s the plan in our head and it also is like so you don’t need to be thinking all the things I know you are]

Jimmy: [soz he’s too in his head and those horrible thoughts to acknowledge what you did there, but I see it hun]

Janis: [‘do you want a bit of time whilst I go make it?’ putting a hand on his shoulder to use some physicality without being like hey look at me and listen too aggressively]

Jimmy: [‘what?’ because he’s far away and did not hear you but he felt that]

Janis: [‘where am I steering you?’ and putting your other hand on his other shoulder and standing behind him like lead the way then]

Jimmy: [‘where are you going?’ because he feels like if he doesn’t stay near her he’ll just fully disappear into his own head and be back at square one and we all want this phonecall to actually happen]

Janis: [an okay then sort of confirmation noise ‘kitchen it is’ and coming to walk more naturally beside you rather than lowkey pushing you like we’ve got this, you’re all good]

Jimmy: [reaching for her hand again because I can just about stop y’all kissing but not the handholding]

Janis: [you can definitely handhold, it’s allowed, get in this kitchen ‘right, put the radio on’ at him like you’re head chef in this moment as you’re getting the ingredients you need out]

Jimmy: [I’ve never been happier that I made sure your brother fixed that kitchen table than I am in this moment, put the radio on, boy, if nothing else you’ve always loved your bops]

Janis: [just letting you chill and have your bops, ‘cos clearly this is something we’ve made a million times and isn’t anything fancy pants ‘cos none of you are, singing and humming along when we wanna, even if it’s somewhat forced ‘cos we’re not that relaxed but we are trying to get into this ‘new normal’]

Jimmy: [it’ll be so northern, there’ll be gravy involved and probably pie lol, because everything starts as bants, we know that, but now it’s your genuine fave]

Janis: [who doesn’t love pastry and gravy tbh, glad you’re also making enough noise that Casey isn’t going to just walk into the kitchen but she probs needs to send a little like, btw, message too]

Janis: Alright, managed to get in the kitchen with him to make this tea so if you’re done before we are, could you leave the bags in the hall? The slower we take it, the better, do you think?

Casey: Top idea, long as you keep the dog out of them til they can get put away

Janis: No problem, he’s got a new bed to crash in currently

Casey: gutted he’ll probably not fancy pissing off out to the pub with us, I’ll go on my own then, like

Janis: Sure he’ll hear you come back and be up for it

Janis: should I save you some then or you rather have pub grub

Casey: you’re alright, don’t know how late I’ll have to stay, do we

Janis: Potentially not, he’s going to call Bobby after in his office though, I’ll let you know?

Casey: back with the shopping in a minute anyway if there’s owt you’re hanging on for as far as making tea goes

Janis: it won’t be this the whole time, one step after another

Janis: see you in a sec then

Casey: still technically a roof over my head, what more could I be after

Janis: we’ll work it out, what does and don’t

Casey: [just come back and put these shopping bags down as near to silently as you can before sneaking out again, obviously Chubby will hear him even if Jimothy and/or Janis do not and I’ll let him go with you because it breaks my heart to think about this boy sitting in the pub alone otherwise]

Janis: [there’s no way you’re ever going to all be able to just be in the same room, not like this but at the minute there isn’t another option so do what you can guys, I like the think we tried to catch you when we went to get whatever ingredient we needed but perhaps we missed you]

Casey: [that’s cinematic and so real of you, boo]

Janis: [just come back in and finish making this dinner so it can go in the oven, the smell of will also be v comforting, can make him another cup of tea whilst you wait for it to be ready]

Jimmy: [I just picture him drawing, not literally on her list but on the pad of paper it came from and with that pen, and even that makes me emosh cos what are you doodling sir]

Janis: [we love that for you though because more like yourself, the temptation to be nosey but also do you wanna know, potentially not]

Jimmy: [I hope you’ve drawn Chubby and not something fucking heartbreaking, but honestly, who can say, technically me but you know]

Janis: [we don’t need to know honey, passing him cutlery like you need to set the table for the two of yous]

Jimmy: [do that please]

Janis: [dish this food up and clearly have extra because most things feed a family but that’s fine ‘cos you can have leftovers ready for him which will be easy to heat and eat, get cold drinks as well and turn the music down a little bit but still leaving it on]

Jimmy: [a not at all casual meal being had, we’re all fine about it]

Janis: [the fact we’re going to have to get the fridge and freezer stuff away before we sit down, like it’s just appeared lol]

Jimmy: [you’re welcome for it being winter instead of in the middle of a heatwave so you could leave it til he’s on this phonecall if you wanted and it’d be okay, slightly less awkward]

Janis: [we’re already making concessions by not letting him come in and be in the same room right now, we don’t need to pretend that he hasn’t done the shopping when he has so it’s what it is]

Jimmy: [my boo says we can’t all pretend he doesn’t exist and she’s so right for it]

Janis: [are we making a point? Yes, but we’re not being cruel about it this time so you know, progress, obviously living together isn’t going to be a viable option long-term but as that convo hasn’t been had yet, and on some level you know he’s here and has been helping you, at least because she told you so like, soz it’s better that you address it in whichever way you’re gonna have to eventually]

Jimmy: [I love to see it, it’s important, as much as Jimothy is within his rights to act like this rn and honestly forever if he wants because of how y’all behaved, it’s simply not feasible when you do live together rn and Casey is literally taking care of him]

Janis: [literally, like if you want him to leave, which is understandable, you still have to say it and you haven’t]

Jimmy: [mhmm, that convo is gonna be horrific when it finally happens but you can’t just not have it ever]

Janis: [no one is saying this isn’t weird but like there’s no right way to deal with it, they couldn’t just leave you how you were, that wouldn’t be any fairer than what has happened]

Jimmy: [you’d have to really not care to do that and neither of jc are those bitches]

Janis: [you might think they don’t care, understandably so, but we know they both do and so do you about both of them, otherwise none of this would be as fucking sad, it’s the point lol]

Jimmy: [what a web that bitch Winnie has weaved, but I’m so glad he’ll have eaten something, if only not to look like death on this facetime but regardless, I’m happy about it]

Janis: [it’s a big step and we’re buzzing, trying to keep this a casual silence more than awkward as much as that’s possible but we don’t wanna stop it being weird by asking you pointless questions when we’d rather you just enjoyed your food]

Jimmy: [the definition of walking on eggshells because she wouldn’t wanna say the wrong thing and send him backwards]

Janis: [mhmm, we just need to get to this phonecall ‘cos we know facing the reality of Bobby also still existing will also help you endlessly so we must get there however]

Jimmy: [agreed, get in that office and speak to your little brother even though you have no clue what the hell you’re gonna say clearly, will have to walk him there gal as if he doesn’t know his way around his own house, but more handholding can never be a negative]

Janis: [unintentional but at least you will also see our bed setup so you know we’re also trying there, even if you don’t know you’ve taken that in, get him set up in his chair and put the desk lamp on so it’s all cosy, giving his face a once over like let’s check you aren’t covered in gravy boy ‘all good?’]

Jimmy: [‘What’ll I say?’ so quiet because it’s to himself as much as it is to her, because v lost on how to handle this, which is another level of heartbreaking in itself because he always knows what he’s doing as far as Bobby’s concerned, even when he was shamelessly a kid out of his depth]

Janis: [propping yourself on the side of the desk for a sec here ‘well, he’ll probably ask what’s going on, you’ll wanna work out what you want to say or don't there’ ‘cos true, what else would he ask ‘but then it’ll just be wanting to know how you are, when he can come back, probably… ask him what school’s been like, what him and Libs have been up to’ just trying to give you the basic rundown without roleplaying this through with you beforehand]

Jimmy: [‘I’ve left it ages’ with hardcore I fucked up energy because shutting Bobby out is just not something he’s ever done before this and we know how freaked out and confused he will be and we hate it]

Janis: [shaking your head ‘it only feels long to us’ ‘cos it actually isn’t out of the thick of it, I think like three days, maybe? But don’t quote me lol]

Jimmy: [nodding because he has to trust her on this, he has literally no concept of time rn because he’s been sleeping so much and nothing has had any structure]

Janis: [biting our lip ‘you could just say we’ve been having problems, he’ll know that means don’t ask for more info right now?’ ‘cos we know you wouldn’t know where to begin with that and how else can you really explain without doing so ‘say what you want though’ ‘cos not being like you cannot say obvs]

Jimmy: [doing the sign for problems like he’s trying it out because we’re forever just trying to play catch up on processing anything rn, like yeah okay]

Janis: [nodding like okay, good, he didn’t take that horrifically, using his shoulder to pull ourselves up and towards the door ‘I’ll be out here’ literally pointing to the sofas so it goes in, like if you do need me but also this convo is for you so we aren’t going to butt in]

Jimmy: [reaching out and giving her hand a squeeze because don’t want her to go but she has to or y’all will just sit here and time will pass and this convo that needs to happen won’t]

Janis: [giving it a squeeze back ‘he’ll want to talk to you’ like Bobby won’t have been worrying about us, this is for you, boy]

Jimmy: [‘and you’ll be out there?’ like she has to promise because the fear that she just suddenly won’t]

Janis: [‘right there’ with the I promise being in the tone, giving her suitcase a little kick like see, I’m staying ‘set up camp, haven’t I’]

Jimmy: [his face is 🥺 af @ her but actually calling so there’s no backing out and he’s allowing her to leave before this call connects]

Janis: [giving his cheek a kiss ‘you’ve got this’ and making your exit, you’re not going to be able to fully relax, lowkey just here trying to guess how it’s going in there, but at least you’ve got some time to just be by yourself]

Jimmy: [the torture of not being able to overhear anything because they aren’t speaking, my nosey ass would hate that]

Janis: [honestly lmao, at least the fact that he hasn’t just come out or called for you or anything means they probably are in fact having the phone call so that’s something, I will now send Casey an update text in this time]

Janis: They’re on the phone, can’t tell how it’s going, obviously but yeah, another step

Casey: He didn’t cry off instead of ringing, it’ll do

Janis: I couldn’t take the piss, it’s going to be shit but nah, deffo called him, I saw that far

Casey: our kid’d be turning up to have the convo if he left it much longer, in fairness

Janis: yeah, exactly, this is easier on him

Janis: like you said before, that could backfire, bringing Bob back if Jimmy’s not ready

Casey: they’ll be ages, you’ll wanna get that shopping away

Janis: Already did

Janis: how rude of me to let your quality picks wilt in the hall, like

Casey: you’re alright, some lass with a name badge did most the work

Janis: 😏 fact I’m not a slacker remains, dickhead

Casey: how else were I gonna change the subject though, like

Janis: didn’t know awkward conversation was catching

Casey: I dunno when I was last sober for this long, must be why it’s awkward

Janis: He’s sorted and I’m here now, you can have tonight

Casey: I’m not my dad, can’t be getting off my face on my own

Janis: not a great look

Janis: but you’re not in a room with the curtains closed and your fly open

Janis: you always make friends wherever you go, right

Casey: when I’m in the mood, maybe

Janis: fair, I wouldn’t be, even if I could

Casey: stay here and I’ll only start on someone

Janis: You can come back

Janis: not that I can offer that that’s gonna feel any better but just so you know

Casey: and put myself where, in my room with the door closed

Janis: I did say, wasn’t promising fun

Janis: but you live here too, ‘til he wants to say otherwise, that’s how it is

Casey: you’ve covered yourself, girl, don’t worry, no dickhead can say I don’t get it

Casey: but fuck it, I’ll take the dog another walk

Janis: There’s no point pretending you don’t exist, that isn’t how we resolve this

Casey: it ain’t up to me, I wronged him by fucking his missus, I don’t get no say in how he fancies treating us after

Janis: fine, enjoy your walk

Casey: no need to give me that

Janis: what

Casey: you know what

Janis: I meant it, however insincere it feels when you’re exiled out on another one

Casey: alright

Janis: no it’s not, because look what happens, you two don’t acknowledge each other, again, and I’m the fucking go-between, again

Janis: this is ridiculous

Casey: It is, yeah, but I fucking guarantee you don’t want us to force him to acknowledge me, ‘cause what happens then’ll undo whatever is at the minute

Janis: I’m just sick of this

Casey: you reckon I’m not

Casey: I’d be chuffed to bits to have it out with him, least I would til all that bloody comes from it is he’s back in bed on mute

Janis: I can’t do any of this like a normal fucking person would because he hasn’t

Janis: I should be skulking somewhere in shame, not trying to fix the mess I made for him

Casey: I can’t keep on asking you to do the bollocks you did today again just ‘cause I wanna give him a smack hard enough to snap him out of all this

Janis: We haven’t got a choice though, we both know that

Janis: not one we can stomach, even if this is just… bullshit

Casey: I’ve got the choice to hit a different dickhead and not set him back to the start, nowt else

Janis: I can’t judge you for it

Janis: at best I could do some fucked up kind of jealousy but I’m just glad for you, really

Casey: I’ll try not to go to that place in my head where I can’t remember, that way you can have the retelling and less to be jealous about

Janis: you’ve got better self-control than you reckon, or you would’ve gone for him the second we got back

Janis: I know you’ll know when to stop, you’re not allowed to piss off to prison without me

Casey: be like kicking the dog is why, or waiting for you to have your kid and slapping that

Janis: well you waited a whole decade to touch me so my point is still true

Janis: if you wanna smack someone, I’m not worried about you, not just because you made it sound hot, alright

Casey: you know what I really want, and that it’s none of this

Janis: of course I do

Casey: I can’t hack a decade of this sort of waiting

Janis: it won’t be

Janis: barely made it the first time ‘round

Casey: I’ve been so fucking worried about you

Janis: I’m sorry, I wanted to talk to you, way more than I let myself but

Janis: I just want this part over so badly

Casey: I’m so fucking proud of you too, you did it, you got him up and talking to Bob

Janis: he ate too

Janis: I just wish he got that you were helping too, not just me but

Janis: I know that’s not what we wanna focus on, just getting him functional, that’s all

Casey: there’s no changing habits that old, but you’re right, it don’t matter, I’ll live

Janis: I’ll tell him one day, when we’re at that screaming phase, I guess

Casey: they need me to be what dad’s never gonna, it’s alright, he’s not about or bothered enough, I get it

Janis: it ain’t when you’re not him

Casey: to them I am, it’s all the same

Janis: I’ll be whatever new role they want me in too

Janis: that is what it is

Casey: as long as it don’t change things between me and you, I don’t care

Janis: you know me, I know you

Janis: I’m not interested in the fantasy I can’t live up to

Casey: I can chuck you loads better fantasies

Janis: yeah, no challenge there

Casey: only challenge is in the no touching now

Janis: you had to remind me, like I don’t already miss you

Casey: you never stuck your head out into the hall, can’t miss us that bad

Janis: Um yes I did

Janis: you must’ve run out like there was a rocket up you

Casey: I had to, how bad I miss you, I’d have lost as soon as, else

Janis: hard to see how it’d feel like losing rn

Casey: he’s on a call, we could be an’ all, it’s not breaking no rules, couldn’t touch you if I wanted to

Janis: I’m meant to be waiting outside in case he needs anything though

Casey: you are and you still can do

Janis: we could sign too, or do you want to talk to me?

Casey: hearing your voice means having to keep on waiting til you’ve stopped needing to for him and I can’t

Janis: then facetime me now

Casey: [do obvs and just be STARING at her for a full minute]

Janis: [I don’t know how you don’t speak when you can, it’s very unnatural and a totally different vibe to literally not being capable but anyway, of course we’re STARING back, even if that also includes checking you over and trying to work out where you are based on the limited background etc]

Casey: [100% checking her over too because any number of heartbreaking or horrible things could have happened whilst this JJ time was occurring so need to make sure she’s okay, fully showing her all of him like she’s looking him up and down, because clearly you haven’t gotten in a fight yet but it was close and she knows that]

Janis: [do the same but by getting well in your face to show you’ve not been having a total meltdown this whole time screaming crying throwing up like I’m okay, promise; as we know this whole time you’re signing unless otherwise stated at any point so I won’t say so after this because redundant ‘hey you’]

Casey: [doing SUCH a deep breath that Jimothy won’t hear because he’s booked and busy but she will because so relieved you’re okay and calming down as a result and we need you to know it, likewise putting Chubby on so he can sniff and lick the screen like it’s a hey back from both of us over here]

Janis: [doing your own intake of breath with a smile because just that pleased to see you, as well as this dog too, of course ‘how many treats did you wanna buy him?’ ‘cos tell me I’m wrong, you can’t]

Casey: [counting off on his fingers to 10 and then holding them up over and over like we’re saying oh hundreds obvs]

Janis: [‘nerd’ with all the affection ever]

Casey: [an unnecessarily big pout just to do it, we all know you aren’t remotely that heartbroken or offended, sir]

Janis: [pulling your own with your finger and thumb like if I was there, sir]

Casey: [biting his lip v dramatically like 1. Yes I know that’s what you’d be doing and 2. Because need to in order to not make a sound thinking about it]

Janis: [copying you for the same reasons as well as just to do it ‘don’t get too many bruises on your face’ like if you get in a fight]

Casey: [‘don’t you wanna kiss them better for me?’ like surely I should get all the bruises so you can]

Janis: [‘maybe I’ll be too jealous’ like of someone else giving you any kind of bruises, shrugging like I don’t know yet]

Casey: [‘piss easy to not let them get up after the first bruise I give out, but it’ll be over right quick’ because do you want that or do you want a story you can live vicariously through]

Janis: [pausing like we’re thinking ‘I want you back as soon as you can be here without being stuck in your room’]

Casey: [‘I’ll come back soon as you tell me to, wherever that means I have to be’]

Janis: [‘it’ll be worse if you’re here and I can’t see you’ like no neither of us wants that]

Casey: [STARING at her again because true]

Janis: [‘being in the kitchen was…’ no need to finish because we all know how confusing that would be on your feelings]

Casey: [‘the table leg stay on?’ because we’re all thinking it, he’s not a DIY expert it could have so easily not]

Janis: [doing a really little laugh that is more just the exhale of it but you can tell it would be if we could ‘thank god’ because imagine]

Casey: [‘still, probably a massive pisstake to ask you to get on it for us now’ because you know damn well he wants that to happen]

Janis: [LOOKING over at the kitchen area ‘cos of course we want to ‘I’m bound to the sofa’ panning to show you’re attempting to chill here ‘cos you promised not to go]

Casey: [when you can tell by his face he’s reliving all their saucy mems on that sofa, can’t not]

Janis: [watching his face with heart eyes and a smirk ‘could be worse’ like at least I’m not somewhere we have yet to bang lmao]

Casey: [showing around her wherever he is like yep it could, because definitely just was randomly walking away from the pub with no destination in mind except not the direction of home]

Janis: [do your own pout even though you mean it way more sincerely than he did earlier]

Casey: [running his thumb over his own bottom lip so slowly and deliberately because would be to you if he could hun]

Janis: [closing your eyes, just for a sec, so you can really try and imagine it’s happening to you]

Casey: [putting said thumb into his mouth because he knows she would and we gotta get the sensations of if she was biting or sucking it happening here, quiet as we have to be with it]

Janis: [back to STARING and copying for us ‘yours feels different’ very much unimpressed like I prefer it when it’s you thank you]

Casey: [‘yeah’ because hard agree it’s better when you do this]

Janis: [‘you look really good doing it though’ like that’s a pretty good consolation, considering]

Casey: [‘you too’ because it’s true and we’re gonna say it ‘you look really fucking good right now’ like full stop and regardless of what you’re doing or not doing]

Janis: [‘I think you’ll look even better when you win your fight’]

Casey: [‘I’ll feel better and so will you, baby’ with the energy of we’ll make sure you also feel all the good things we will]

Janis: [‘I want that for you’ because really do, soz not soz everyone]

Casey: [‘what are you after for yourself?’ like tell me exactly how you’d want this fight to play out if you could kick someone’s head in rn and I’ll try to give you it]

Janis: [‘any twat you won’t have to think twice about hurting’ ‘cos don’t need to give you any guilt with this release of pent up frustration and emotions, then just be vivid and v descriptive about all the enjoyable parts of fights you can remember and what you are imagining rn, you get the idea]

Casey: [it’s weird flirting and he’s into it, that would be blatant as he’s listening to this and then chipping in his own ideas and suggestions]

Janis: [we know you both are, to an inconvenient degree at this point, being so !! with how enthusiastically we’re signing and our eyes, always]

Casey: [likewise as !! of course, lowkey breathing too loud but it could be a lot worse, we know what this boy is like]

Janis: [‘you called me baby’ so happily, as if we just noticed ‘cos lowkey too wrapped up in this]

Casey: [‘you know you’re my baby’ like of course I did and I’ll do it again, have clearly never signed that before in your life have you, boy, because who else are you calling baby that understands sign language]

Janis: [‘I miss you so much it hurts’ like actually cannot deal with this]

Casey: [‘where?’ as if he can kiss it better rn immediately ‘show me’]

Janis: [‘you know where’ 😳 ‘cos can’t exactly show you that right now]

Casey: [genuine 🥺]

Janis: [‘you’ve given me loads to think about, I can show you in a bit’ like whenever we’re not stuck outside this door and can steal enough privacy to]

Casey: [making the sign for ILY which is literally 🤟 but making it obvious af that we’d be touching you like that rn in the most suggestive manner if we could like I’d show you]

Janis: [doing it back with a ? look almost as if you’re saying like this? moving said hand down like okay]

Casey: [nodding encouragingly like yes exactly]

Janis: [even if we’re not being as indecent as we could be/you would be, we’re doing enough to make us have to silent gasp at you]

Casey: [SO about it]

Janis: [‘YOUR baby’ like we’re * ourself because you said that after and even better]

Casey: [‘mine’ but spelling it out each letter in fingerspelling for the pure emphasis and !! instead of just doing the sign whatever that is]

Janis: [doing ‘yours’ back in the same manner]

Casey: [‘don’t stop, I’ll never stop loving you or showing you how much’ as if she can just keep touching herself with a ILY hand and stay silent]

Janis: [nodding so seriously as if you can too like okay]

Casey: [what an impossible challenge you’ve set sir, just LOOKING at her, obvs]

Janis: [at least you have more practice than him with this because you would have to when you were shamelessly thinking about him]

Casey: [mouthing ‘more’ at her because who is he if he doesn’t encourage her to go harder despite the danger]

Janis: [‘you’re so-’ with our lazy one-handed signing, of course, because we are]

Casey: [‘you’ with all the !! he can put into that]

Janis: [the way our face is looking so indecent because can do everything but let the sound follow ‘I’m bad at this’ obviously not meaning this lol but leaving you the hell alone]

Casey: [could not be watching her face more intensely rn to the point he has to ask her to say what she said again because totally missed it]

Janis: [😏 about this but do repeat it]

Casey: [smiling like yeah you are and we couldn’t be happier about it]

Janis: [fake pouting]

Casey: [‘seeing you like that is gonna make us have to for real’ like gal I know you’re faking it but I really will pout at not being there rn if you don’t stop it]

Janis: [‘you can look away’ like you cannot and we know it]

Casey: [shaking his head because he knows he cannot too ‘but you could pretend I’m stood there’ gesturing to the arm of the sofa like let’s pretend that’s me]

Janis: [pointing to the same spot like here? And nuzzling our face like okay, first things first]

Casey: [closing his eyes for a sec how she did before cos really trying to feel that]

Janis: [after wuggling on this sofa arm for a minute, blatantly gonna straddle it, even if it makes us make a noise, it’ll still be quiet enough to just be you living life out here so it’s FINE]

Casey: [can’t help doing a GASP at the noise she made but it’s v quiet too so also FINE]

Janis: [when it’s like it’s actually him with these reactions so you’re going harder ‘can you feel that?’]

Casey: [biting his hand because yes he can and gotta not be noisy about it]

Janis: [would like to point out that she’s still just wearing her underwear and a towel ‘cos didn’t take the time to dress herself ‘cos too much else to be doing so there’s that ‘I can imagine what that feels like exactly’ ‘cos how many times he’s bitten you at this point]

Casey: [thanks for pointing that out because I didn’t even think about it and how iconic, meanwhile he has all the clothes on cos outside frankly god knows where but nevertheless using something in this random location as a makeshift her too and being like ‘what about this?’ cos can you feel how extra he’s being, we know you can]

Janis: [yes I realised when she was making that dinner but could hardly be like oh brb whilst I change ‘cos what’s the point, just keep on going gal lol; mouthing his name at him because we truly can’t deal at this point]

Casey: [mouthing her name back at her too, he’s gotta, no notes]

Janis: [‘I want-’ can’t finish it]

Casey: [‘anything’ meaning whatever it is you can have it]

Janis: [‘spoiled’ @ ourselves like ugh but we’re incapable of being fully mad in this moment unless we chill with what we’re doing]

Casey: [‘tell me’ because wanna know so we can give you it]

Janis: [hiding your face in your hair for a sec, lowkey biting on it because gotta stay quiet however ‘show me you’]

Casey: [when a quiet moan escapes despite his best efforts because her biting her hair would really get to him like that, soz not soz everyone, but there’s no hesitation in giving her what she wants regardless]

Janis: [soz that if anything you gonna need more hair in your mouth now ‘cos you’re fully !! first at his lil moan and then at the obvious ‘mine’ with the fingerspelling again]

Casey: [holding his own throat to try and shut himself up and because can’t not when she’s got even more hair in her mouth now, he’s dying about it]

Janis: [copying him isn’t a good idea ‘cos that makes you feral but have to at least for a moment here, even if we quickly realise who we are lol]

Casey: [you’d definitely have the same realisation that it’s making things worse not better in terms of trying to not be feral af, the shakiest breath of all time when he lets go, realistically at the same time as her because they love to mirror]

Janis: [just LOOKING at him because how do we feel like this when we’re so limited with what we can do rn]

Casey: [LOOKING back at her ‘I-’ mouthed but almost whispered because we’re overwhelmed]

Janis: [pushing your hair back out of your face because it’s a mess and your face is too red and you need to cool down, literally ‘I know, baby’]

Casey: [stroking his own face how he would hers because his hands are cold from being wherever the hell he is outside]

Janis: [again closing our eyes to imagine it properly, doing some big breaths]

Casey: [always has water for Chubby so getting that and drinking some of it, indecently of course, so it’s not gonna help either of you that much, but anyway lol]

Janis: [lay back down in a more normal less suspect position on this sofa, still glued to watching you though ‘cos we don’t wanna be done but we did need to calm down there]

Casey: [gesturing that she should get the blanket and some cushions as if this is just casual chilling time but there’s blatantly the you can pretend I’m there snuggling you of it]

Janis: [do that, lowkey making yourself a pregnancy pillow vibe with these cushions so you can have it between your legs in a more chill way ‘I miss you’]

Casey: [‘I’m right there’ as if you can both be convinced of it because you both want it enough]

Janis: [‘are you cold?’ hugging these pillows harder like we can warmth you from here]

Casey: [‘not no more’ like she actually is warming us up by doing that]

Janis: [‘you know he won’t be up for much longer’ not trying to be shady we just know he has limits and today’s have been reached, like you can come back soon]

Casey: [‘then I can come back’ because shady or not, he can’t be staying out here all night, Chubby needs to be fed and to snooze, he’s just a bub]

Janis: [nod because exactly ‘I’ll look after you properly’]

Casey: [doing such a soft little kiss on this phone screen as if he’s kissing her on the head]

Janis: [‘wish I had an excuse to shower you too’ shamelessly like that would be nice]

Casey: [‘could pretend the dog needs a bath’ cos he is on a walk rn, maybe he’s getting gross, who can say, and he is massive so it would need two of you]

Janis: [just a look like could but we struggled enough being quiet then so let’s not kid ourselves lol]

Casey: [a look like think about how much noise this dog would be making if we were, not to mention how flooded the bathroom would be, tis the perfect cover]

Janis: [‘poor baby’ like Chubby is gonna see some things if we try that but we’re obviously thinking about it lmao]

Casey: [‘just think about it’ because really want you to imagine it hun and he clearly is rn too]

Janis: [‘it isn’t touching if I’m just helping you get clean and warm’ like there’s any justifying it that can or needs to be done]

Casey: [‘a mate wouldn’t leave us all bloody’ as if we’re gonna come home from brawling absolutely covered in it]

Janis: [doing your own lil moan but it’s v frustrated so you could just be annoyed at something you’ve seen on the telly or your phone but really you had almost forgot about that minor detail and how much harder that’ll make it for you ‘I would never’]

Casey: [‘you’re a proper mate and a really good girl’ gotta say it because it makes her feral]

Janis: [biting the inside of your cheeks ‘til your eyes water here ‘you need me, yeah?’]

Casey: [‘so much’ because an understatement rn]

Janis: [‘too bad he’s a boy’ ‘cos not getting away with saying that in person and truly gutted]

Casey: [‘still gotta be told how well he’s behaving’ cos just thinking about other times he’s told Chubby how good and well behaved he is but he was talking to her, like I can get round that lil obstacle, don’t even worry]

Janis: [‘don’t want him to get daddy issues’ 😏🙄 @ ourself for liking any of this]

Casey: [😏 shamelessly buzzing you do have them, soz about it]

Janis: [🖕 at you but would be laughing if we could too ‘only worthwhile thing he gave me so’]

Casey: [‘I dunno about that’ because looking at all her skin he can see despite this blanket, like the skin tone do be incredible, as much as you really do look like Tess and your mum more]

Janis: [‘Ian’s gonna be so disappointed’ like lol where has the lowkey racism gone]

Casey: [‘that you didn’t go for him, yeah’ like how dare you not cheat with Ian instead, the audacity]

Janis: [such a face like none of us need to imagine that parallel universe ‘not enough daddy issues, clearly’]

Casey: [‘you’ll have to stop signing it now’ like gutted you don’t have enough for us to keep talking about this, but actually the d word is just killing us]

Janis: [do it like you’re just saying it over and over to be annoying with it like ha ha]

Casey: [mouthing ‘don’t’ with all the daddy energy he can bring when he’s dying this hard because stop it please]

Janis: [zipping your lips like you were saying it out loud to begin with]

Casey: [shamelessly showing her the physical effect that had on him because she’d feel it if he was there with her rn]

Janis: [‘anyone would think you wanted me to say it’ !! here like mixed messages much]

Casey: [‘I want you to find the remote’ cos we all remember when he fucked and smacked her with said tv remote and you need that reminder immediately gal]
