#marliris

i dunno if i’ll write this but au where iris goes to grad school at oxford and she’s a reporter for the paper (trying out journalism because you know, maybe that’s the right fit for her) and she interviews dr. marlize malan for an article about the ways that technology is improving the lives of people around the globe.they are absolutely vibing with their passion for improving the lives of people around the world and marlize is like “gee i wish that my boyfriend was this optimistic about the state of the world” and iris is like “well, maybe he shouldn’t be your boyfriend anymore” and it’s not quite professional but the situation stopped being professional a few hours and a few drinks ago. iris pulls out a notepad from her purse and writes her number on it and she’s like “if you ever want to talk, just call me. as a friend or anything else, i’ll answer”
