โ *๏พ ย โ cas was the hardest thing about leaving seagrove, and cas was the hardest thing about coming back. the end to their relationship was inevitable but painful, and although teddy is happy for caspianโs success in his business and his new relationship ( the latter of which heโd discovered when finally peeping at cas' social media after so long, when he decided to return to the little town ) the way things went with them were a knife through his chest, and he still has the scar.ย
in an ideal world, their reunion would be seamless. comfortable. heโd wander up to him, the aquariumโs questionable lighting causing a blue shadow to cover half his face, and make some sort of inside joke thatโs at least six years old by now, and cas would laugh, and itโd be like old times. but admission fees, the different sections of the aquarium, andย โwhere are youโ texts, were things he didnโt consider, becauseย โwanna meet atย the aquarium?โย sounds so much simpler on paper. they shouldโve met outside. walked in together. that wouldโve made life a lot easier. but teddy finds cas eventually, a weight in his chest that he canโt shake, and his fingertips toying with a loose thread on the opposite sleeve of his jumper. teddy sees him first, and thereโs a moment where all greetings jump ship from his mind ( and, strangely, the fish swimming overhead are no help. selfish bastards ) and teddy realises he doesnโt know where theyโre at. do they hug ? do they do that bullshitย โno homoโ half-arsed hug thing teddy has to endure with his straight friends that somehow think a slap on the back is a hugย ?ย heโs sure as hell not going to shake his hand. eventually, though, teddy does manage something, and he may be more embarrassed by his blurted out words if the aquarium werenโt so quiet; thereโs practically nobody else around to hear his... wisdom.ย ย โ dโyou ever think about how pop tarts are, like ----- basically a form of ravioli ? โ
