Behemias: Thanks, Mom... Why is everyone staring at me?

Estevot: You just called me mom; you said. 'thanks, mom.'

Behemias: What? No, I didn't. I said, 'thanks, man.'

Estevot: Do you see me as a mother figure, Behemias?

Behemias: No, if anything, I see you as a bother figure, 'cause you're always bothering me.

i have at least four last line tags from @danafaithwriting and one more from @starkrevolution and i promise i will get to that in time but in the meanwhile, have this. it feels so invigorating to be writing again!

Three months ago, on the heels of his one hundred twenty eighth Foundling Day, Behemias ran away from the only place he had known all his life, and the only true family he had, with nothing more than a prepacked bag and the clothes on his back.

LOL i kept this in my inbox until now because it makes me feel nice but also because i’m going through my inbox just now from not mobile. here’s a lil bonus for u:

“dude, just ask her out already.” behemias turned in surprise to his companion, a startled expression on his face like he was almost offended to be told such a thing. “she’s been staring at you all night and the only reason you didn’t notice is because she looks away every time you look back at her.”

“well, i- i cant just do that. that would be rude of me to impose. what, do you want to swagger up to her and say ‘hey, how about we get out of here?’” their whole circle of friends looked at him like that was the obvious course of action and made mumbles of scattered agreement.

“see? everyone here says yes and i say if you dont make a move tonight, i will.” behemias was appalled at that and ran through possible scenarios of how the night could turn out.

if he could muster the courage to just talk to the girl he’d been glancing at all night, that would hopefully be enough to placate the present company. on the other hand, if he didn’t, someone else most certainly would and that would be much more unpleasant. well, there would be worse things to happen than talking to a girl who had been giving him a funny feeling all month.

behemias: thank you, egeline

behemias: you're lying though right?
