Tay bites back who's sleeping with him? It isn't fair, anyway. Though, she does make a mental note to ask Dillan if he would, gender preferences aside. Instead, she offers something slightly more cutting— "favourite babysitter, maybe." She's kind enough not to recount the list of countries they've visited without him. "I'll send you a postcard next time."

"i got you a lot this year," tay turns her head to look at dillan behind her. the snow crunches beneath her boots. she continues, even as she looks back ahead— "and you can't hate me, or it, because i think it's nice and you're really easy to buy for and—"

thwack!

unmistakably, that was the sound of a snowball, which is now falling in flurries to the ground. this time, her whole body turns. she's fighting back a grin, which renders her pretended anger useless. "you didn't," she says. but he did, and dillan shows no remorse. tay's already backing away to a nearby garden wall to scoop snow into her gloved palms.

it's difficult running in snow, but he's trying. though, she manages to catch up, and take dillan's assault a step further, cheating when she shoves it into the back of his coat.

"c-cold!" he protests, and tay giggles.

"you started it." by no means, however, does she believe she has finished it.

that isn't the case until they're both sprinkled with snow, cheeks reddened by the weather, and their gloves are too wet to combat the cold.

what name my muse has set for yours: Dillan

what ringtone my muse has set for yours: the default.

she removed it when they were no longer talking on good terms. it just felt weird every time it flashed up if he called her.

what my muse thinks of the way yours texts: she doesn't know what to think anymore, much like in person. she realises that's her own fault, but she treads on eggshells the same amount over text too.

how quickly my muse responds to your texts: it depends. if she thinks they're in a good place, it's as soon as she can respond. otherwise, she'll leave it. she leaves it longer if she doesn't know how to read it also.

how often our muses text: not as often as they used to. there are bouts of constant texting, but they don't happen regularly and generally, tay isn't glued to her phone.

how often our muses call: rarely. dillan is busy. tay is busy. she also doesn't really know what to talk about besides dean's wrongdoing, and as much as it's cathartic to talk about, she doesn't want to put him in too much of a bad light. and unfortunately, dillan is the only person she would talk to about that sort of thing.

does my muse purposefully miss calls from yours: never.

what my muse thinks of the way yours texts: dillan is allowed to do whatever he wants. she literally doesn't care. if she found it annoying, she wouldn't say.

how quickly my muse responds to your texts: immediately, unless she can't.

how often our muses text: at least once a day, even if it's just a casual check in. if it's a more in depth discussion (she needs to complain about klaus, or talk about klaus), she'll text and immediately follow up with a call.

how often our muses call: as often as they can. but they're both busy, with kids and partners so usually it's a case of texting to make plans so they can debrief properly in person. sometimes the plans are double dates that tay is telling klaus about after organising, or just them on their own and no topic is off limits.

what my muse thinks of the way yours texts: sam doesn't have an opinion.

how quickly my muse responds to your texts: as soon as. it can't be a blossoming bromance if sam leaves dillan hanging.

how often our muses text: as often as they need to to organise plans i.e figure out which apartment they're gonna hang in. dillan texts to make sure sam has his favourite snacks on hand also, because he can't trust the health freak in him. (mostly, he does).

how often our muses call: they don't.

does my muse purposefully miss calls from yours: he wouldn't if they called, unless it was accidental.

tay doesn't argue with him, letting the words hang in the air before the traffic cuts into the silence and she realises it's been five minutes since either of them have said a thing. "i know," is all she manages to begin with, because dillan is right.

and when he's the reason she is no longer shackled to every one of klaus' whims, he's entitled to feel how he wants. it wasn't hard to figure that out. there's yet to be an appropriate time to thank him for it. now, it must seem like the biggest mistake he made; tay hears it in his voice, sees it when he slumps because she denies none of it.

"i—" she swallows around the lump in her throat. "i want it to, but i— i'm not coming back. i can't be here all the time. klaus is— he's everywhere. and there's other stuff—" she looks down, scuffing her shoe against the rooftop. "i shouldn't have asked you for help when i didn't call for years, i know that, but i knew you'd come. i fucked up, a lot, and i'm sorry."

"Who's—"

But Tay cuts herself off to pull out her phone. A Google search brings them up— BTS, otherwise known as the Bangtan Boys. Jungkook jumps out immediately. For that, she assumes him to be the most popular. Having realised she'd left Dillan hanging, she looks up from the screen. "Sorry," it's hardly genuine, when said with half of a grin, "give me a minute."

She'll call it research, as she types his name into the image search. A plethora of them pop up. Inwardly, she decides Jungkook looks much better dark-haired. She wouldn't recommend that for Dillan.
