I am quite the something else but you love me quite a lot so you’re a bit stuck with me. Bigger numbers mean more to me! Maybe to you and quite a few of other people! I know you never would but you gave me a little scare there. I don’t like hearing you say you’ll leave me when you really wouldn’t. I know you don’t ever like making me cry. Good, I’m glad you know so. Our relationship is my most favourite relationship ever. Better than Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield! I know you were, love but I still didn’t want to leave me! But I was going to tell them! Have a long discussion about how good you are in bed in hopes they’d change their mind but they’re not allowed to go anywhere near you. Kidding, kidding! Except for the good in bed part, it’s very true. That is very true. But he still thinks you’re an alright lad! I think he’s liking you more everyday. Also, my dad wants to have dinner with us sometime this weekend, babe. But cakes can be too stiff or the icing couldn’t be very good! Good, and I’d never leave you because I love you very, very, very much as well. Then come here, my love! Yes, my sun and stars! But please don’t get slashed by some poisonous sword. I probably do watch too much but I’m so happy that you’re watching it too now! Can we get an Iron Throne in our living room? Only a little bit! It didn’t make me feel that young considering the drinking age was only one year away! I probably drank more of your drink than you. Well, they ID’d you because I turned down the drink so it wasn’t like they knew I was underage! Most! I’m sorry, love. Gah, I’m making this all about me and you’re comforting me on your birthday. I’m sorry. Let’s make this about you. C’mere, babe. How’s being twenty so far?

[alecbishop-blog]

I do love you an awful lot, so I'm sure I'll have no problem getting past you being something else. But I don't understand why! If you understand that years are more than months than why do you think months mean more? To me and everyone else! I'm sorry, babe. I was just trying to roll with your joke. But I'll never say that I'm going to leave you again. I'm glad that you know that. I'm glad I know so too. I'd certainly hope that your favorite relationship is one that you're one half of. They've got nothing on us. And you'll never have to hear me say it again, babe. You definitely are not allowed to tell anyone about our sex life. Regardless of how great it is. You can't tell people that they're not allowed near me. I don't mind you being a little possessive, but there is a line that shouldn't be crossed. I'd certainly hope that you were joking. And not joking about being good in bed, because it'd hurt to find out that I was actually bad in bed. I know he does, but it's not like he's clueless to how we got together. He's bound to be a bit cautious about me still. I'd hope so, because eventually I'd want for him to fully like me. We can do that. Just give me a day and we can do it! I know, I know. Your cake will always be the best type of cake. I know that you never would and I know very, very, very, very well that you do. I can do that. Then you're the moon of my life. But that sounds like so much fun! I don't know why I put off watching it for so long. It's a great show. We definitely cannot. Excuse me, less than one year away. But it could still bother you, like in a "Wow, if this was December, I could have a drink right now kind of way." You probably did, you lush. True, but they might've ID'd you if they had saw you taking sips of my drinks. It's perfectly okay, babe. You don't need to apologize. I don't need it to be all about me. It can be all about the both of us. I can do that. I got to spend my entire day with you, so I'd say it's going pretty damn well.

[callienichols]

It does to me! They are but sometimes they don’t feel like they’re longer! Bigger numbers! Like 12 months compared to one year! Please don’t leave me, I’ll never stop crying if you do. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like it! I love our relationship! And you’re not that old and you’re not creepy! I was kidding about the creepy part! And our relationship is only inappropriate to people who think that you should wait until you have sex before marriage! And my dad sometimes because he’s mean and protective. Nuh uh! I hear they taste like cardboard! I’ll give you all the cakes you want. But you wouldn’t leave me if you love me! Yes, you can! Please stay, I’ll do anything you want! My love, my sun and stars, please don’t go! I didn’t have a problem with you drinking though! It meant that I could steal sips of your drink! Most people! Exactly, my love! 

[alecbishop-blog]

Well, you're just something else, aren't you. Yes they do! Bigger numbers mean nothing! They sound like the same amount of time! Probably because they are the same amount of time! I'd never leave you, love. I wouldn't ever want to make you cry. I know you don't actually not like it, babe. I know you do and I love our relationship too. I know, I know. I was just teasing you, babe. I know you were. That's very true, but they don't need to know we're having sex and it's not like you're pregnant so we have yet to cross the "children out of wedlock" line. Definitely your dad. He's very mean and protective, but he means well. He just wants his daughter to be safe and happy. No cake is bad cake, babe. I know you will, love. Then it's a good thing that I would never leave you because I love you very, very much. You don't have to do anything, I'll just stay. Your sun and stars? I think you watch too much Game of Thrones, babe. But if it made you feel overly young, I could've just waited until we could both drink! That's very true. You did that a lot. I'm still shocked that no one caught you. But still not all people! Don't rub it in. You have to be nice on my birthday.

[callienichols]

They aren’t but sometimes they feel like they are! Using months make it seem longer because you’re using bigger numbers! Nooo! I didn’t say you can go. I don’t want you to go. Please come back. Please don’t hobble to an old home, you might hurt something. Stay with me, I’ll keep you safe and aid you with your old age! I’ll even bring you cake and such. I love you very much, don’t leave me, please. That makes someone feel very young though! Everyone can drink when they’re alone! It’s different going to a restaurant and doing the same! 

[alecbishop-blog]

It doesn't at all feel like that! Everyone knows that years are longer than months, so why would using months make it seem like it's further away? Yeeees. I have to go. You said that I was creepy and that our relationship was inappropriate, so I must leave you because I wouldn't want to bother you with my creepy, inappropriate love. Nope. I have to go. It doesn't matter if I hurt myself, because you no longer have to worry about me and my old bones. Cake is very tempting, but I'd imagine the old home has some great cake too. I love you too, but I can't stay. Goodbye. Then you should've told me to not drink while we were out! I would've been perfectly okay with waiting until we got home before I had a drink. Not everyone! I guess it is, but still.

[callienichols]

Month wise, yes I am whereas years wise I am not! Counting down the days where I’ll be the same age as you. But aren’t you a creepy old dude that’s dating a girl that’s way too young to be in an appropriate relationship? Kidding! It felt like a little like that before I turned nineteen though. I mean, I couldn’t drink at restaurants and you could! It means sometimes! But then I’m going to feel like I have wrinkles! 

[alecbishop-blog]

Month wise and year wise aren't two different things! It's still the same amount of time in between birthdays. You're right I am. Shame on me for trying to get away with dating a teenager in my old age of 20. I guess this is goodbye since I'm such a creepy old guy. It's been very lovely knowing you. Have fun in your youth, I'll just go hobble over to the old people home. Well, yeah. But just because you couldn't drink and I could! And you still drank when we were home, so it's not like it was a big deal.

[callienichols]

So very old. But I’m much younger than you considering my birthday is in December! No, no. You don’t get to call me old because by the time I turn 20, it’ll be five months until your birthday. 

[alecbishop-blog]

You're not really that much younger than me when we were born in the same year! You make me feel like some creepy old dude that's dating a girl that's way too young to be an appropriate relationship! That means nothing! Your birthday is only 7 months away from mine! I'm still going to call you old.

[callienichols]

Happy birthday, love! You’re twenty now and you seem so old. 

[alecbishop-blog]

So old? You're not even a year younger than me. Do I get to call you old on your birthdays too?

[callienichols]

Birthday, birthday, birthday! 

[alecbishop-blog]

[callienichols]

Don’t be so mean, love. Your girlfriend might be potentially sick. It could happen, love. Your head might start to ache a lot and your vision will start to be blurry and you might be wobbling everywhere. I’m glad you’re sticking to your word, love. I know it’s not but I still really want to pay for this one little thing. I mean, you’ve done for months and months now so I want to repay you back just this once. Pretty please, love? My dad said not to because he said he’s going to move into a smaller place now because he doesn’t have me around anymore but I’m probably going to help out as much as he’ll allow me to. I was helping him out before though because of the bigger apartment and whatnot. Why thank you, love. I’m the best girlfriend because I have the best boyfriend. I like what we’re doing now too but if I start coughing, we might have to stop for a bit so we best find something to do? I don’t have anything in mind. Do you? I got sprite when I was little too, I didn’t know if it worked or not but I regardless, I was happy I got sprite to drink. But it’s such an odd thing to suggest. Let’s get me better soon then! 

[alecbishop-blog]

But I am mean, babe. I'll be very, very nice if you end up being sick then. It could, but probably not. You make me sound like I'm going to be wasted instead of sick. I've had blurry vision and wobbly legs before. I get wobbly legs every time I see you, so I'm definitely used to it. You sound surprised, babe. Okay, you can pay tomorrow, but we're not getting a lot! I payed for everything, because I wanted to, babe. Oh, that's good. How about we just figure the budget out as we go then? I could pay for my place with just my salary before, so your check will really just be extra money for us. You should start saving. You're very welcome, babe. And thank you very much too. That's understandable. We could always play video games? Might be able to win for once if you have a coughing fit in the middle of it. It probably doesn't help more than the next drink, but it felt like something special to drink because I only ever drank it when I was sick. The doctor explained it once, but I was pretty young. I'll try my best to do so.

[callienichols]

I promise I won’t let you being sick get in the way of work. But if you were terribly sick that you can’t get out of bed or something like that, I’m going to call in and tell them that it’s a family emergency. I can finally start paying for bills? Great! I’m paying for everything tomorrow! Don’t even bring your wallet. I will pin you down until you leave it at home. But I wasn’t regarding that to me skipping work to take care of you, love. Just in general. I’d be a terrible girlfriend if I just did that to you. Just like you do to me. Now that I do since you’re all better now! Let’s stay up then. What shall we do, my love? That is very true. It’s just inevitable. I never heard of that one. I always heard sprite was good for you too. We do like me healthy more so we can kiss longer.

[alecbishop-blog]

Good, you better not. You wouldn't need to do that. I'll never be too sickly to crawl out of bed. Plus, if I was that sick. You'd just need to put some water bottles by me and I'd be fine, because I probably wouldn't be able to eat anything. I said you had to move in before I'd let you pay for for anything and I'm a man of my word, you can now help me with bills. No you are not. This isn't going to be a "I'll buy this. You buy that kind of agreement." I'll just rearrange the budget I've been working off of and add your salary to the budget. Do you have to give your dad any of it? Were you helping him before? I don't think you're capable of being a terrible girlfriend. Always the best. Just like that. I like what were doing now. Did you have something else in mind? Good! It really is. Really? I've heard the sprite one too. That's what my mom always made me drink because it's what my doctor suggested. We do indeed, so if you're sick like I was, no long kisses until you're better.

[callienichols]

I know you’re going to get sick sometimes, love but I still want to take care of you. What kind of girlfriend would I be if I just gave you medicine and walked off? Not a very good one. And I know you’ll get through but I still want to be there for you. I’m really glad it does. You’re very welcome. Great! But nothing that might make me fall asleep, I don’t want to sleep just yet. Nuh uh! If I didn’t kiss you, I wouldn’t be such a sick birdie right now. But you said you could never turn down my kisses, my love. Okay! Can we get juice too? I don’t think we have anymore. But she’ll have her wonderful boyfriend taking good care of her! Most definitely. I think we should too. Exactly! Better get it before it gets any worse. But we like long kisses.

[alecbishop-blog]

Alright, you can take care of me, but you can't let me get in the way of work. Since you live here now, you've actually got to be helping me pay bills and not just mooching off of me. You'd be the kind of girlfriend that has to work, babe. Not caring would make you a bad girlfriend. And you care about me more than enough. I know. You should know that it helped a lot! Then I'll put off the sleep, because I might put myself asleep while I'm at it. Uh huh! We were bound to kiss eventually, love. We went quite sometime without it. Of course we can. I hear orange juice is really good for you when you're sick. She will indeed. I knew you would. Definitely. But we like you healthy more.

[callienichols]

I know I don’t need to but I wanted to. I just wanted you all better because you looked so ill and you were coughing a whole bunch too. Will you sing to me too then, my love? It’s not your faaaault. I kissed you, you kissed me back. I just wanted to kiss my poor sick boyfriend. It’d be lovely if we could. I don’t like being sick. I can! I think now is a good time to kiss. I hear kissing is a great cure for colds. But, but, but. Kisses. Will I still get kisses a little after though?

[alecbishop-blog]

I know, I know. I'm going to get sick sometimes, babe. I'll make it through each time and the help you give me when you're not working, does help a lot. Thank you for caring so much. Of course I'll sing to you too. Anything to make you feel better, babe. It's just as much my fault! I didn't have to kiss you back and I could've stopped you. I know you did, but now my lovely girlfriend is going to be poorly. Then we can get some first thing tomorrow. My shift doesn't start until 11, so we've got a bit of time to lie in before we go. I don't think anyone does. Oh yeah? Well, then we definitely should kiss. Preemptive strike on the cold that you might have. You can have a few kisses at a time, but no kissing for long periods of time.

[callienichols]

It definitely was. You looked so sick that I wanted to stay home with you until you were all better. A couple of days is a long time but I still missed your voice. It’s good hearing it again. But I don’t want to be sick agaaaaaain. It was, I had to go too long without kissing you. Then we can kiss all we want. All day, all night. Except when I’m coughing my butt off. That wouldn’t be very nice.

[alecbishop-blog]

You don't need to miss work to take care of me when I'm sick. I'm capable of making it through an afternoon. Well, you get to hear it all you want to now because it's 100% back. I'm sooooorry. Maybe we should get some DayQuil and NyQuil to stop the cold before it gets too bad. Now you can kiss me lots and lots though! I'm not going to kiss you if you're coughing like I was. You'll need your breath.

[callienichols]

I’m glad to hear that, my love. And I’m also glad you’re feeling much better now. I’ve really missed hearing your voice. I think I might be. My throat’s been hurting and I’ve had a few coughs. My coworker actually told me that I might be losing my voice. Maybe I shouldn’t have given you that kiss.

[alecbishop-blog]

As am I. That was a terrible cold. I was only a couple days, love. And I could still whisper. You're probably getting sick then. You probably shouldn't have, but was it worth it? But if you're sick with what I had, then you won't have to worry about me getting it. Can't get sick with the same thing twice.

[callienichols]

This is very heartbreaking. Are you sure you’re still not sick, love? 

[alecbishop-blog]

I'm positive, love. No more sore throat, got my voice back, and I don't even have my cough anymore. But what about you. You're not catching what I had right?

[alecbishop-blog]

I no longer like coffee. This is heartbreaking.

[callienichols]

But it’s going to give me nightmares! And you’re going to have to deal with your scared girlfriend waking you up every five seconds to check the closet or anywhere else where she thinks may lie a murderer. If there’s a lot of it, it’d freak me out a bit. I’d have to pause it and take a breather because I’m not a very tough person. You’re right about that but I don’t think I’ve ever gotten that vibe before from any characters. I think it’s because I don’t watch enough shows to do so, to be honest. Crazy people, my love! It might give them a weird reputation but you’ve got people with bad reputations for being in certain movies and they’ll never live it down. 

[alecbishop-blog]

I wouldn't mind you doing that. But if you're really afraid of getting nightmares, then you don't have to watch it. You don't have to like all the shows I like. There's always a lot of it. Like, in every single episode. And not only is the main guy a serial killer, but he's also a blood spatter analyst so he's pretty much around blood the entire series. I've really just gotten it from them before. Oh! And that one Disney show. Life With Derek? They were step siblings, but it was still sorta weird. You make me sound so lame. I watch way too many shows. Very crazy people. That's very true. But I think incest kinda tops most bad reputations.
