Take Me, Break Me

[He chuckled leaning his forehead against hers] I'm just semi-excited that I'm not going to wind up bound to the house right away. But I'll tone down the excitement. Promise. Now, is there anything dating wise that's new? I mean... I don't really get out much. And we're talking since the early 2000's. Pretty scary stuff.

Well, isn’t this a pleasant surprise. 

... The hell do you want?

Yes?

Oh... Nothing. Sorry, just thought you were someone else.

You skate?

Yeah. You?

[She laughs]

[She nods]

I agree. Some of us were made for tamer lives. Though, I guess with Willow in the picture, I should be prepped for life to be anything but tame.

         Honestly, I’m not fussed. How long’ve we got?

[She shrugs]

Kinda been locked away in my safe haven for a little while. The whole situation wore me out a little bit.

         Explain away; this stuff is actually interesting, you know—

[He grinned into the kiss before leaning back, taking her hand.] Alright. Where to? There's the house, the hideaway, the spot by the river? Or I could try the whole absolutely normal boyfriend date.

Send ✆ for a morning text

         Yeah—— that makes little to no sense to me.

[He chuckled and kissed her forehead once he was close enough before glancing down] I'll explain if you like, one day.

You okay, dude? You look sort of like lost? 

I'm good.... feeling a little lost, honestly.

[…]

Well hello. [He gave her a soft smile] And how are you fairing since being held in lockdown?

… Are you okay?

... Hm? Oh yes, I'm alright... Just thinking.
