hello! It’s been a couple days so I thought I’d stop by…

@ask-harry-fitzgerald

“Oh. Hello! How have you been?”

I’ve been well, although, tired. I’ve been working later..

“Ah. Oh dear, well that’s never good. If you want I can make you some tea or coffee…?”

tea would be nice, but it’s not necessary. How have you been?

“On it. Also, I’ve been fine… just tired..-“

ha-! I certainly feel that… our duties are exhausting.

“….Ha… yeah. Jake recently took up a job. Which is good! Just. Long hours- but that’s a ramble for another day. How has your boss been?”

[He handed Harry a cup of tea!]

ah- yes.

my boss has been… well, he’s been the same as always, if I’m being honest. He’s strange, constantly seems on the verge of… something, and doesn’t show up to work much.

and thank you, for the tea

“I suppose he’s the same from when he was my employee. But that was years ago, I should probably let that go.-“

[HE sighed before taking a few minutes to compose himself.]

“Ha. That reminds me? How is the person you share a house with? If you care for small talk that is. If not? That is alright also.”

oh-! Uh- he’s good! We haven’t been talking much.. differing hours and stuff..

But! I do enjoy talking to you, it’s really quite nice..

“..Wow. That’s… very understandable. One day you two should take a break together. If you are able”

“…I’m glad. That means a lot to me. I mean it. I enjoy talking and catching up with you..!”

we should.. I really like him.

and I’m glad you enjoy talking to me. We should catch up more!

[Steven can keep his Fox pet. So, surprise, Harry!]

“I’m glad. You seem happy when talking about him. But, I agree..! Even if I do not have any updates..- I like being able to simply talk. It’s comforting.”

I am happy when I talk about him, and I agree, I simply enjoy talking with you.

“Heh. I’m glad you’ve met someone who’s made you happy. You deserve it! You’ve been a hard worker for as long as I can remember…”

You’re also a hard worker! I’m very proud of your work, it’s all been very impressive.

“.ha.. thank you. Means a lot coming from you…honestly …”

of course! You’re very good at what you do.

“Well. I’ve learned from the best- though, I worry..-“

why? What do you worry about?

“You- stress. A lot of things.. I need you. Get some help with it..-“

I’m.. afraid I don’t understand what you mean?

“I’m more worried about my family rather than anything else in life- I don’t know..- Jake is working, Yay! What if he gets hurt? What if YOU get hurt.??? Mike and Junior need help..-“

well, I feel Jake is plenty strong enough to handle himself. I have someone- two people, if my boss actually counts. Junior and Mike- well They eachother, and they’re at school mostly, they have resources.

“Yes- I know Jake is amazing- i just worry… and Jack doesn’t count. He doesn’t even do his job.- but. They have each other- yes! Just. I understand Mike worries about Junior. Just- if he could STOP picking fights for ONCE-“

hm, well, I suppose that makes sense.. I’m afraid I don’t have much advice. You were always a well behaved kid, I never had any problems with you.

“Still- just. I- never mind. Ignore my ramble.. let’s go back to you.!”

Well, I’m not any more interesting, not right now, so I’m not entirely sure what I’d even talk about! Ha-!

“…I.. what do people usually talk about..- i haven’t worked in.. a bit but- its..-“

I’m… not quite sure outside of work..?

“….I- sorry. I should’ve prepared myself better. This must be a disappointing meeting. My apologies.”

[He doesn’t mean to be self deprecating.. hes just eepy…]

it’s fine, not like I had anything better. Besides, it’s not disappointing, I got to see you!

“..You have work which. Is far more important than I. I suppose I miss simple sitting near you. It feels calming.!”

“God. I just want to. F- urh..”

[pkay I lied his mood automatically dropped. His head is on the table.]

Well, we can just sit then! I don’t mind.

but uh- are you ok?

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

[his speech is indeed muffled…]

I think I might worry anyways? You don’t seem. Great?

“Nono. I’m oka…y. Just… headache..?”

[anywho, hi harry. Imagine seeing your son human again!!!]

*he sucks in a sharp breath at seeing Steven as human again, mildly shocked by it*

O-oh… well- can I get you anything?

“..i should be okay.. just..Urgh… hi harry…”

hi Steven… can I get you anything? Please? I worry about you y’know..

[he QUICKLY sat up before looking ar Harry.!]

“Nonono.!! I’m okay!! Honestly.. see?? Just- I’m honestly fine..!”

I- yeah. Sure. If you insist. Just- I Want to help you, y’know?

“….,,Huh..,? Oh..- I probably.. just need a drink.. y’know…? Water.. energy drinks.. doesn’t matter.-“

ill get you water, you said your head hurts right? Energy drinks might make that worse

“..Yeah.. just. Low energy..- i think..?? I’m… tired..”

I understand that. You work hard, and don’t rest as much as you really should.

“I.Rest..-! I mean.! i last took a rest yesterday. Ask anyone. They’d agree.”

hm.. well, even still, if you’re still tired, you may still need more rest

“I will take a nap.. soon..?? i mean- I will take a nap soon. I promise!”

Good. Rest is important for your body, without it, you could fall behind

“w.. what do you mean by that exactly..? I.. ur.. fall behind..??”

Work, family, the rest of your life outside of the exhaustion. If your body is constantly on the edge, using adrenaline and caffeine to keep yourself awake, you aren’t going to have energy for any more than the bare minimum.

[Hi! He sighed. Before looking at his dad!]

“I’m tired, I know I should rest..- but, I just. WORRY about my kids and the restaurant..-“

“..Dad, I’m tired. Do you think everything will still be alright..,,?”

oh..

…of course. Everything is going to be ok, I promise, ok?

“…Okay.”

“….Thank you..”

[Hi! steven basically placed his head back onto the table..]

don’t mention it kid…

*Harry hesitantly reached one hand over and placed it onto Steven’s head*

[Don’t worry Harry! Steven doesn’t mind it …]

“…Jake does the same thing. You two probably have a lot more in common than you think… funny, isn’t it…?”

[he gave a small chuckle..]

mhm… he’s.. I know he doesn’t like me. But I must admit I do really like him…

“Eh. He doesn’t really care. Just still upset about his kid..,, which, you two could probably bond over. Heh- as fucked as it sounds..-“

I- yeah, I guess… don’t really like the idea of trauma bonding but- I could try?

“….mrp.. maybe like..? Not in that way. But talk about having kids..? Or something..-“

I suppose… I’ll have to think about it…

besides, aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?

“…No. I didn’t say nap now.. I will later…-“

mhm, sure kid. But don’t keep yourself up on my account, alright? I want you to get some rest.

“…Soon. I. Promise yeah.?? Hell, you can even ask Jake. He’ll tell you the truth.- i just.. want to make sure something is. Okay.”

Oh- alright then? I’ll wait with you until then.

“….Really..?? You. Mean it..??”

Of course, why wouldn’t I?

“…Curiosity.- that’s all.. ha.”

[okay… hes getting eepy…]

Hm.. well, I suppose I don’t mind..

“…Thank you.,”

mhm…

*wow! He actually noticed Jake! Unobservant idiot/aff*

Hello..

“….Hey. What’s up with ya. Minus the stress of your kid.”

[hi! He gave a small smile. He’s much softer as a human.? Huh.]

oh- uh, not much? What about you?

“Been good, actually. You put him to sleep so, kudos. He never really slept as a human.. so.-“

yeah.. he’s always been prone to overworking. Aided and abetted by caffeine of course

“Ah. Well, yeah.. that makes sense.- he’s… kind, sure. But he’s a pain in the ass. Lovingly, of course.”

he’s stubborn, but he means well. He just wants the best for everyone but himself

“…Hm. I don’t know much bout you, but can I make a hunch and say you did the same? I mean, ya neglected your own needs to help yer kid.”

I- well I suppose he does get that from me.. but he has the support to not need to do that. I was almost entirely alone in raising him

“Ohh boy. Ight- let me put it this way. Ight? Now, you raised him alone, yeah? So, he looked up and took after ya’. So, not to sound harsh and like a bitch. But, what else didja expect? He had no one else to look up to. He wanted to be like you.”

[hi! Jake is patting steven…]

Well I- I dunno, I guess I just didn’t want him to end up like this…

“…We can’t really… y’know… stop it..- i dont think.”

I know, I just wish I had- I dunno, I wish I had done a better job, been a better role model, y’know?

“..Ight. What else could you have done? Be honest with me. You had to balance a child with work. Killin’ two birds with one stone isn’t always easy, y’know? So, don’t beat yourself up. Ight..??”

even still I just-

*he sighs* I guess you’re right… sorry.

“..for..? You both say sorry a lot. Nothin’ to be sorry for. You’re fine, Harry. If it helps ya feel better.. I don’t hate you as much.”

“To be fair- I suppose I.. forgive ya.?? You were doin’ your job. So, eh. I don’t give a fuck.”

Oh I- what..? You-

well- thank you then. I mean it. You took care of Steven when I couldn’t, I’ve always liked you

“Eh. He wasn’t that bad. He’s a nice guy. Ya did good with what you had. Alright? Don’t forget that.”

I-

*he sounds like he’s about to cry*

Where is- where is this coming from?

“..aw shit- are you.. okay..?? Also, no where? I’m just bein’ honest.-“

[Jake sighed and gave a weak smile before handing Harry a napkin.]

“Just- don’t tell Steven, alright? But if you need help. I’m here. Hell, were technically family now-“

I won’t I just- I thought you hated me? But you’re- you’re being so nice? I guess u just don’t get it…

“Cause, you’re family now, I guess. Plus, Steven always said to be nice to ya. So, also, cause.. i don’t really hold a grudge.”

huh.. well, thank you, again. It really means a lot to me.

and-Steven talks about me..?

“Course. Also, mhm. He talked about you a lot. Before the whole.. y’know- but, yeah. He was always talking about how excited he was to show you his kids. Heh.”

oh that- he-

I should have gone and seen him sooner. I shouldn’t have waited so long…

“Meh. Hey. Cool it- what could ya have done? I mean-“

[Jake.. sighed. Holy shit Jake is opening up.]

“From what I’ve dealt with. Generation one phoneys don’t have the best memory. It’s probably good he never saw ya or vice versa. I say that mainly cause, he didn’t fuckin remember me when I went to visit him once. If.. my rambling makes any damn sense-“

I mean- I guess I just-

I wish I had been better for him. I wish I had kept him safe

“…You work at fazbender’s. Just, be happy he’s with you now. Yeah? If by safe? You mean for him not to die- well, I doubt you being there would change much. Harsh? Maybe, but still.”

I suppose you’re right… it’s useless to waste time mourning things we can’t change.

“..mhm. Now then, onto you. What’s up with ya? If you don’t feel like answerin’ that’s cool.”

oh uh- not much honestly. I don’t live in the office anymore so! Thats nice..

“…You lived in your fuckin’ office…,??”

you didn’t.??

“…I slept in a house. Are you like.- is your bloodline okay..??? Because Steven did the same shit.”

I mean- neither of us had a house

“…….Fair enough. Do… you have a house now..? I mean, ya live with someone, right?”

yes, I live with another manager, a newer model, called “Bruce”

“…you moved in with someone. Huh, congrats on the coming out.”

I’ve- you know I had a husband before, right?

“..Damn. So, Steven has a new dad. Cool.”

Wh- me and Bruce aren’t- I mean not yet- it’s-

…

“Heh.. I can’t say what Steven thinks. But, i find this humorous.”

I mean- I’d want to, but he has to figure something out first

“Eh. Take your time you two. Something something you got this. Gay.. or whatever-“

pfft-well, thank you, that means a lot to me.

“Mhmm.. oh. Did you know Steven had a wife.”

vaguely? I don’t think I ever met her though..

“Huh. So you remember her. Cool. Or,, at least you sorta remember her.”

“Yeah she died.”

Oh! Thats unfortunate, I suppose.

“Eh. It happens. To be honest? I have no fucking clue what I’m doin. I jus’ randomly remember shit Steven wishes to tell ya.”

huh. That… sounds unhealthy.

“…..Which part.. Steven’s? If so, he just worries bout your opinion on em.”

the lack of memory part.

“..Eh. It’s fine. Probably, something something, shitty coding-“

I could always take a look at it, if you wanted?

“…You can do that..,.??? I mean- huh..,,”

I worked in the factory for a considerable amount of time, so if it is a coding issue, I may be able to assist?

“Eh. You can give it a shot I suppose. Or don’t. Bad memory is common so. Y’know. Don’t sweat it. Like you probably have.. faulty memory.. generation one was like. Shit or something-“

I suppose, but my bad memory is almost exclusively pre-phone-ification.

of course, this is only if you’re comfortable with it?

“…,,Eugh… I am fine with it. I can’t help but worry I suppose. Especially considering everything,”

that’s understandable, it’s… theres a lot, y’know?

“Mhm. Again, could give less of a shit of you end up fuckin’ up my code. All I ask is don’t fuck with my memory.”

understandable. Do you want me to try now, or..?

“….Sure. How long will it take. Since.. steven- i guess.”

It depends on the issue, I suppose, but not too long, I don’t think.. we can wait for Steven to wake up first, if you want?

#NOT TUMBLTNOT NOTIFYING ME #savior duo #it will not be cool #(steven would be so fucjong worried ab them BOTH)

“…Mf. It should be fine. If anythin’ we could explain what the hell happened. It’ll be cool.”

hello! It’s been a couple days so I thought I’d stop by…

But! I do enjoy talking to you, it’s really quite nice..

“..Wow. That’s… very understandable. One day you two should take a break together. If you are able”

“…I’m glad. That means a lot to me. I mean it. I enjoy talking and catching up with you..!”

we should.. I really like him.

and I’m glad you enjoy talking to me. We should catch up more!

[Steven can keep his Fox pet. So, surprise, Harry!]

“I’m glad. You seem happy when talking about him. But, I agree..! Even if I do not have any updates..- I like being able to simply talk. It’s comforting.”

I am happy when I talk about him, and I agree, I simply enjoy talking with you.

“Heh. I’m glad you’ve met someone who’s made you happy. You deserve it! You’ve been a hard worker for as long as I can remember…”

You’re also a hard worker! I’m very proud of your work, it’s all been very impressive.

“.ha.. thank you. Means a lot coming from you…honestly …”

of course! You’re very good at what you do.

“Well. I’ve learned from the best- though, I worry..-“

why? What do you worry about?

“You- stress. A lot of things.. I need you. Get some help with it..-“

I’m.. afraid I don’t understand what you mean?

“I’m more worried about my family rather than anything else in life- I don’t know..- Jake is working, Yay! What if he gets hurt? What if YOU get hurt.??? Mike and Junior need help..-“

hm, well, I suppose that makes sense.. I’m afraid I don’t have much advice. You were always a well behaved kid, I never had any problems with you.

“Still- just. I- never mind. Ignore my ramble.. let’s go back to you.!”

Well, I’m not any more interesting, not right now, so I’m not entirely sure what I’d even talk about! Ha-!

“…I.. what do people usually talk about..- i haven’t worked in.. a bit but- its..-“

I’m… not quite sure outside of work..?

“….I- sorry. I should’ve prepared myself better. This must be a disappointing meeting. My apologies.”

[He doesn’t mean to be self deprecating.. hes just eepy…]

it’s fine, not like I had anything better. Besides, it’s not disappointing, I got to see you!

“..You have work which. Is far more important than I. I suppose I miss simple sitting near you. It feels calming.!”

“God. I just want to. F- urh..”

[pkay I lied his mood automatically dropped. His head is on the table.]

Well, we can just sit then! I don’t mind.

but uh- are you ok?

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

[his speech is indeed muffled…]

I think I might worry anyways? You don’t seem. Great?

“Nono. I’m oka…y. Just… headache..?”

[anywho, hi harry. Imagine seeing your son human again!!!]

*he sucks in a sharp breath at seeing Steven as human again, mildly shocked by it*

O-oh… well- can I get you anything?

“..i should be okay.. just..Urgh… hi harry…”

hi Steven… can I get you anything? Please? I worry about you y’know..

[he QUICKLY sat up before looking ar Harry.!]

“Nonono.!! I’m okay!! Honestly.. see?? Just- I’m honestly fine..!”

I- yeah. Sure. If you insist. Just- I Want to help you, y’know?

“….,,Huh..,? Oh..- I probably.. just need a drink.. y’know…? Water.. energy drinks.. doesn’t matter.-“

ill get you water, you said your head hurts right? Energy drinks might make that worse

“..Yeah.. just. Low energy..- i think..?? I’m… tired..”

I understand that. You work hard, and don’t rest as much as you really should.

“I.Rest..-! I mean.! i last took a rest yesterday. Ask anyone. They’d agree.”

hm.. well, even still, if you’re still tired, you may still need more rest

“I will take a nap.. soon..?? i mean- I will take a nap soon. I promise!”

Good. Rest is important for your body, without it, you could fall behind

“w.. what do you mean by that exactly..? I.. ur.. fall behind..??”

[Hi! He sighed. Before looking at his dad!]

“I’m tired, I know I should rest..- but, I just. WORRY about my kids and the restaurant..-“

“..Dad, I’m tired. Do you think everything will still be alright..,,?”

oh..

…of course. Everything is going to be ok, I promise, ok?

“…Okay.”

“….Thank you..”

[Hi! steven basically placed his head back onto the table..]

don’t mention it kid…

*Harry hesitantly reached one hand over and placed it onto Steven’s head*

[Don’t worry Harry! Steven doesn’t mind it …]

“…Jake does the same thing. You two probably have a lot more in common than you think… funny, isn’t it…?”

[he gave a small chuckle..]

mhm… he’s.. I know he doesn’t like me. But I must admit I do really like him…

“Eh. He doesn’t really care. Just still upset about his kid..,, which, you two could probably bond over. Heh- as fucked as it sounds..-“

I- yeah, I guess… don’t really like the idea of trauma bonding but- I could try?

“….mrp.. maybe like..? Not in that way. But talk about having kids..? Or something..-“

I suppose… I’ll have to think about it…

besides, aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?

“…No. I didn’t say nap now.. I will later…-“

mhm, sure kid. But don’t keep yourself up on my account, alright? I want you to get some rest.

“…Soon. I. Promise yeah.?? Hell, you can even ask Jake. He’ll tell you the truth.- i just.. want to make sure something is. Okay.”

Oh- alright then? I’ll wait with you until then.

“….Really..?? You. Mean it..??”

Of course, why wouldn’t I?

“…Curiosity.- that’s all.. ha.”

[okay… hes getting eepy…]

Hm.. well, I suppose I don’t mind..

“…Thank you.,”

mhm…

*wow! He actually noticed Jake! Unobservant idiot/aff*

Hello..

“….Hey. What’s up with ya. Minus the stress of your kid.”

[hi! He gave a small smile. He’s much softer as a human.? Huh.]

oh- uh, not much? What about you?

“Been good, actually. You put him to sleep so, kudos. He never really slept as a human.. so.-“

yeah.. he’s always been prone to overworking. Aided and abetted by caffeine of course

“Ah. Well, yeah.. that makes sense.- he’s… kind, sure. But he’s a pain in the ass. Lovingly, of course.”

he’s stubborn, but he means well. He just wants the best for everyone but himself

“…Hm. I don’t know much bout you, but can I make a hunch and say you did the same? I mean, ya neglected your own needs to help yer kid.”

I- well I suppose he does get that from me.. but he has the support to not need to do that. I was almost entirely alone in raising him

[hi! Jake is patting steven…]

Well I- I dunno, I guess I just didn’t want him to end up like this…

“…We can’t really… y’know… stop it..- i dont think.”

I know, I just wish I had- I dunno, I wish I had done a better job, been a better role model, y’know?

even still I just-

*he sighs* I guess you’re right… sorry.

“..for..? You both say sorry a lot. Nothin’ to be sorry for. You’re fine, Harry. If it helps ya feel better.. I don’t hate you as much.”

“To be fair- I suppose I.. forgive ya.?? You were doin’ your job. So, eh. I don’t give a fuck.”

Oh I- what..? You-

well- thank you then. I mean it. You took care of Steven when I couldn’t, I’ve always liked you

“Eh. He wasn’t that bad. He’s a nice guy. Ya did good with what you had. Alright? Don’t forget that.”

I-

*he sounds like he’s about to cry*

Where is- where is this coming from?

“..aw shit- are you.. okay..?? Also, no where? I’m just bein’ honest.-“

[Jake sighed and gave a weak smile before handing Harry a napkin.]

“Just- don’t tell Steven, alright? But if you need help. I’m here. Hell, were technically family now-“

I won’t I just- I thought you hated me? But you’re- you’re being so nice? I guess u just don’t get it…

“Cause, you’re family now, I guess. Plus, Steven always said to be nice to ya. So, also, cause.. i don’t really hold a grudge.”

huh.. well, thank you, again. It really means a lot to me.

and-Steven talks about me..?

“Course. Also, mhm. He talked about you a lot. Before the whole.. y’know- but, yeah. He was always talking about how excited he was to show you his kids. Heh.”

oh that- he-

I should have gone and seen him sooner. I shouldn’t have waited so long…

“Meh. Hey. Cool it- what could ya have done? I mean-“

[Jake.. sighed. Holy shit Jake is opening up.]

I mean- I guess I just-

I wish I had been better for him. I wish I had kept him safe

“…You work at fazbender’s. Just, be happy he’s with you now. Yeah? If by safe? You mean for him not to die- well, I doubt you being there would change much. Harsh? Maybe, but still.”

I suppose you’re right… it’s useless to waste time mourning things we can’t change.

“..mhm. Now then, onto you. What’s up with ya? If you don’t feel like answerin’ that’s cool.”

oh uh- not much honestly. I don’t live in the office anymore so! Thats nice..

“…You lived in your fuckin’ office…,??”

you didn’t.??

“…I slept in a house. Are you like.- is your bloodline okay..??? Because Steven did the same shit.”

I mean- neither of us had a house

“…….Fair enough. Do… you have a house now..? I mean, ya live with someone, right?”

yes, I live with another manager, a newer model, called “Bruce”

“…you moved in with someone. Huh, congrats on the coming out.”

I’ve- you know I had a husband before, right?

“..Damn. So, Steven has a new dad. Cool.”

Wh- me and Bruce aren’t- I mean not yet- it’s-

…

“Heh.. I can’t say what Steven thinks. But, i find this humorous.”

I mean- I’d want to, but he has to figure something out first

“Eh. Take your time you two. Something something you got this. Gay.. or whatever-“

pfft-well, thank you, that means a lot to me.

“Mhmm.. oh. Did you know Steven had a wife.”

vaguely? I don’t think I ever met her though..

“Huh. So you remember her. Cool. Or,, at least you sorta remember her.”

“Yeah she died.”

Oh! Thats unfortunate, I suppose.

“Eh. It happens. To be honest? I have no fucking clue what I’m doin. I jus’ randomly remember shit Steven wishes to tell ya.”

huh. That… sounds unhealthy.

“…..Which part.. Steven’s? If so, he just worries bout your opinion on em.”

the lack of memory part.

“..Eh. It’s fine. Probably, something something, shitty coding-“

I could always take a look at it, if you wanted?

“…You can do that..,.??? I mean- huh..,,”

I worked in the factory for a considerable amount of time, so if it is a coding issue, I may be able to assist?

“Eh. You can give it a shot I suppose. Or don’t. Bad memory is common so. Y’know. Don’t sweat it. Like you probably have.. faulty memory.. generation one was like. Shit or something-“

I suppose, but my bad memory is almost exclusively pre-phone-ification.

of course, this is only if you’re comfortable with it?

“…,,Eugh… I am fine with it. I can’t help but worry I suppose. Especially considering everything,”

that’s understandable, it’s… theres a lot, y’know?

#savior duo #if what he says makea sense HEL #<<<<aaaaaaaaaaaa hes so #<- hi harry!! jake is being open with his emotions

“Mhm. Again, could give less of a shit of you end up fuckin’ up my code. All I ask is don’t fuck with my memory.”

hello! It’s been a couple days so I thought I’d stop by…

@ask-harry-fitzgerald

“Oh. Hello! How have you been?”

I’ve been well, although, tired. I’ve been working later..

“Ah. Oh dear, well that’s never good. If you want I can make you some tea or coffee…?”

tea would be nice, but it’s not necessary. How have you been?

“On it. Also, I’ve been fine… just tired..-“

ha-! I certainly feel that… our duties are exhausting.

“….Ha… yeah. Jake recently took up a job. Which is good! Just. Long hours- but that’s a ramble for another day. How has your boss been?”

[He handed Harry a cup of tea!]

ah- yes.

my boss has been… well, he’s been the same as always, if I’m being honest. He’s strange, constantly seems on the verge of… something, and doesn’t show up to work much.

and thank you, for the tea

“I suppose he’s the same from when he was my employee. But that was years ago, I should probably let that go.-“

[HE sighed before taking a few minutes to compose himself.]

“Ha. That reminds me? How is the person you share a house with? If you care for small talk that is. If not? That is alright also.”

oh-! Uh- he’s good! We haven’t been talking much.. differing hours and stuff..

[he QUICKLY sat up before looking ar Harry.!]

“Nonono.!! I’m okay!! Honestly.. see?? Just- I’m honestly fine..!”

I- yeah. Sure. If you insist. Just- I Want to help you, y’know?

“….,,Huh..,? Oh..- I probably.. just need a drink.. y’know…? Water.. energy drinks.. doesn’t matter.-“

ill get you water, you said your head hurts right? Energy drinks might make that worse

“..Yeah.. just. Low energy..- i think..?? I’m… tired..”

I understand that. You work hard, and don’t rest as much as you really should.

“I.Rest..-! I mean.! i last took a rest yesterday. Ask anyone. They’d agree.”

hm.. well, even still, if you’re still tired, you may still need more rest

“I will take a nap.. soon..?? i mean- I will take a nap soon. I promise!”

Good. Rest is important for your body, without it, you could fall behind

“w.. what do you mean by that exactly..? I.. ur.. fall behind..??”

[Hi! He sighed. Before looking at his dad!]

“I’m tired, I know I should rest..- but, I just. WORRY about my kids and the restaurant..-“

“..Dad, I’m tired. Do you think everything will still be alright..,,?”

oh..

…of course. Everything is going to be ok, I promise, ok?

“…Okay.”

“….Thank you..”

[Hi! steven basically placed his head back onto the table..]

don’t mention it kid…

*Harry hesitantly reached one hand over and placed it onto Steven’s head*

[Don’t worry Harry! Steven doesn’t mind it …]

“…Jake does the same thing. You two probably have a lot more in common than you think… funny, isn’t it…?”

[he gave a small chuckle..]

mhm… he’s.. I know he doesn’t like me. But I must admit I do really like him…

“Eh. He doesn’t really care. Just still upset about his kid..,, which, you two could probably bond over. Heh- as fucked as it sounds..-“

I- yeah, I guess… don’t really like the idea of trauma bonding but- I could try?

“….mrp.. maybe like..? Not in that way. But talk about having kids..? Or something..-“

I suppose… I’ll have to think about it…

besides, aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?

“…No. I didn’t say nap now.. I will later…-“

mhm, sure kid. But don’t keep yourself up on my account, alright? I want you to get some rest.

“…Soon. I. Promise yeah.?? Hell, you can even ask Jake. He’ll tell you the truth.- i just.. want to make sure something is. Okay.”

Oh- alright then? I’ll wait with you until then.

“….Really..?? You. Mean it..??”

Of course, why wouldn’t I?

“…Curiosity.- that’s all.. ha.”

[okay… hes getting eepy…]

Hm.. well, I suppose I don’t mind..

“…Thank you.,”

mhm…

*wow! He actually noticed Jake! Unobservant idiot/aff*

Hello..

“….Hey. What’s up with ya. Minus the stress of your kid.”

[hi! He gave a small smile. He’s much softer as a human.? Huh.]

oh- uh, not much? What about you?

“Been good, actually. You put him to sleep so, kudos. He never really slept as a human.. so.-“

yeah.. he’s always been prone to overworking. Aided and abetted by caffeine of course

“Ah. Well, yeah.. that makes sense.- he’s… kind, sure. But he’s a pain in the ass. Lovingly, of course.”

he’s stubborn, but he means well. He just wants the best for everyone but himself

“…Hm. I don’t know much bout you, but can I make a hunch and say you did the same? I mean, ya neglected your own needs to help yer kid.”

I- well I suppose he does get that from me.. but he has the support to not need to do that. I was almost entirely alone in raising him

[hi! Jake is patting steven…]

Well I- I dunno, I guess I just didn’t want him to end up like this…

“…We can’t really… y’know… stop it..- i dont think.”

I know, I just wish I had- I dunno, I wish I had done a better job, been a better role model, y’know?

even still I just-

*he sighs* I guess you’re right… sorry.

“..for..? You both say sorry a lot. Nothin’ to be sorry for. You’re fine, Harry. If it helps ya feel better.. I don’t hate you as much.”

“To be fair- I suppose I.. forgive ya.?? You were doin’ your job. So, eh. I don’t give a fuck.”

Oh I- what..? You-

well- thank you then. I mean it. You took care of Steven when I couldn’t, I’ve always liked you

“Eh. He wasn’t that bad. He’s a nice guy. Ya did good with what you had. Alright? Don’t forget that.”

I-

*he sounds like he’s about to cry*

Where is- where is this coming from?

“..aw shit- are you.. okay..?? Also, no where? I’m just bein’ honest.-“

[Jake sighed and gave a weak smile before handing Harry a napkin.]

“Just- don’t tell Steven, alright? But if you need help. I’m here. Hell, were technically family now-“

I won’t I just- I thought you hated me? But you’re- you’re being so nice? I guess u just don’t get it…

“Cause, you’re family now, I guess. Plus, Steven always said to be nice to ya. So, also, cause.. i don’t really hold a grudge.”

huh.. well, thank you, again. It really means a lot to me.

and-Steven talks about me..?

“Course. Also, mhm. He talked about you a lot. Before the whole.. y’know- but, yeah. He was always talking about how excited he was to show you his kids. Heh.”

oh that- he-

I should have gone and seen him sooner. I shouldn’t have waited so long…

“Meh. Hey. Cool it- what could ya have done? I mean-“

[Jake.. sighed. Holy shit Jake is opening up.]

I mean- I guess I just-

I wish I had been better for him. I wish I had kept him safe

“…You work at fazbender’s. Just, be happy he’s with you now. Yeah? If by safe? You mean for him not to die- well, I doubt you being there would change much. Harsh? Maybe, but still.”

I suppose you’re right… it’s useless to waste time mourning things we can’t change.

“..mhm. Now then, onto you. What’s up with ya? If you don’t feel like answerin’ that’s cool.”

oh uh- not much honestly. I don’t live in the office anymore so! Thats nice..

“…You lived in your fuckin’ office…,??”

you didn’t.??

“…I slept in a house. Are you like.- is your bloodline okay..??? Because Steven did the same shit.”

I mean- neither of us had a house

“…….Fair enough. Do… you have a house now..? I mean, ya live with someone, right?”

yes, I live with another manager, a newer model, called “Bruce”

“…you moved in with someone. Huh, congrats on the coming out.”

I’ve- you know I had a husband before, right?

“..Damn. So, Steven has a new dad. Cool.”

Wh- me and Bruce aren’t- I mean not yet- it’s-

…

“Heh.. I can’t say what Steven thinks. But, i find this humorous.”

I mean- I’d want to, but he has to figure something out first

“Eh. Take your time you two. Something something you got this. Gay.. or whatever-“

pfft-well, thank you, that means a lot to me.

“Mhmm.. oh. Did you know Steven had a wife.”

vaguely? I don’t think I ever met her though..

“Huh. So you remember her. Cool. Or,, at least you sorta remember her.”

“Yeah she died.”

Oh! Thats unfortunate, I suppose.

“Eh. It happens. To be honest? I have no fucking clue what I’m doin. I jus’ randomly remember shit Steven wishes to tell ya.”

huh. That… sounds unhealthy.

“…..Which part.. Steven’s? If so, he just worries bout your opinion on em.”

the lack of memory part.

“..Eh. It’s fine. Probably, something something, shitty coding-“

I could always take a look at it, if you wanted?

“…You can do that..,.??? I mean- huh..,,”

I worked in the factory for a considerable amount of time, so if it is a coding issue, I may be able to assist?

“Eh. You can give it a shot I suppose. Or don’t. Bad memory is common so. Y’know. Don’t sweat it. Like you probably have.. faulty memory.. generation one was like. Shit or something-“

#savior duo

hello! It’s been a couple days so I thought I’d stop by…

@ask-harry-fitzgerald

“Oh. Hello! How have you been?”

I’ve been well, although, tired. I’ve been working later..

“Ah. Oh dear, well that’s never good. If you want I can make you some tea or coffee…?”

tea would be nice, but it’s not necessary. How have you been?

“On it. Also, I’ve been fine… just tired..-“

ha-! I certainly feel that… our duties are exhausting.

“….Ha… yeah. Jake recently took up a job. Which is good! Just. Long hours- but that’s a ramble for another day. How has your boss been?”

[He handed Harry a cup of tea!]

ah- yes.

my boss has been… well, he’s been the same as always, if I’m being honest. He’s strange, constantly seems on the verge of… something, and doesn’t show up to work much.

and thank you, for the tea

“I suppose he’s the same from when he was my employee. But that was years ago, I should probably let that go.-“

[HE sighed before taking a few minutes to compose himself.]

“Ha. That reminds me? How is the person you share a house with? If you care for small talk that is. If not? That is alright also.”

oh-! Uh- he’s good! We haven’t been talking much.. differing hours and stuff..

But! I do enjoy talking to you, it’s really quite nice..

“..Wow. That’s… very understandable. One day you two should take a break together. If you are able”

“…I’m glad. That means a lot to me. I mean it. I enjoy talking and catching up with you..!”

we should.. I really like him.

and I’m glad you enjoy talking to me. We should catch up more!

[Steven can keep his Fox pet. So, surprise, Harry!]

“I’m glad. You seem happy when talking about him. But, I agree..! Even if I do not have any updates..- I like being able to simply talk. It’s comforting.”

I am happy when I talk about him, and I agree, I simply enjoy talking with you.

“Heh. I’m glad you’ve met someone who’s made you happy. You deserve it! You’ve been a hard worker for as long as I can remember…”

You’re also a hard worker! I’m very proud of your work, it’s all been very impressive.

“.ha.. thank you. Means a lot coming from you…honestly …”

of course! You’re very good at what you do.

“Well. I’ve learned from the best- though, I worry..-“

why? What do you worry about?

“You- stress. A lot of things.. I need you. Get some help with it..-“

I’m.. afraid I don’t understand what you mean?

“I’m more worried about my family rather than anything else in life- I don’t know..- Jake is working, Yay! What if he gets hurt? What if YOU get hurt.??? Mike and Junior need help..-“

hm, well, I suppose that makes sense.. I’m afraid I don’t have much advice. You were always a well behaved kid, I never had any problems with you.

“Still- just. I- never mind. Ignore my ramble.. let’s go back to you.!”

Well, I’m not any more interesting, not right now, so I’m not entirely sure what I’d even talk about! Ha-!

“…I.. what do people usually talk about..- i haven’t worked in.. a bit but- its..-“

I’m… not quite sure outside of work..?

“….I- sorry. I should’ve prepared myself better. This must be a disappointing meeting. My apologies.”

[He doesn’t mean to be self deprecating.. hes just eepy…]

it’s fine, not like I had anything better. Besides, it’s not disappointing, I got to see you!

“..You have work which. Is far more important than I. I suppose I miss simple sitting near you. It feels calming.!”

“God. I just want to. F- urh..”

[pkay I lied his mood automatically dropped. His head is on the table.]

Well, we can just sit then! I don’t mind.

but uh- are you ok?

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

[his speech is indeed muffled…]

I think I might worry anyways? You don’t seem. Great?

“Nono. I’m oka…y. Just… headache..?”

[anywho, hi harry. Imagine seeing your son human again!!!]

*he sucks in a sharp breath at seeing Steven as human again, mildly shocked by it*

O-oh… well- can I get you anything?

“..i should be okay.. just..Urgh… hi harry…”

hi Steven… can I get you anything? Please? I worry about you y’know..

[he QUICKLY sat up before looking ar Harry.!]

“Nonono.!! I’m okay!! Honestly.. see?? Just- I’m honestly fine..!”

I- yeah. Sure. If you insist. Just- I Want to help you, y’know?

*he sighs* I guess you’re right… sorry.

“..for..? You both say sorry a lot. Nothin’ to be sorry for. You’re fine, Harry. If it helps ya feel better.. I don’t hate you as much.”

“To be fair- I suppose I.. forgive ya.?? You were doin’ your job. So, eh. I don’t give a fuck.”

Oh I- what..? You-

well- thank you then. I mean it. You took care of Steven when I couldn’t, I’ve always liked you

“Eh. He wasn’t that bad. He’s a nice guy. Ya did good with what you had. Alright? Don’t forget that.”

I-

*he sounds like he’s about to cry*

Where is- where is this coming from?

“..aw shit- are you.. okay..?? Also, no where? I’m just bein’ honest.-“

[Jake sighed and gave a weak smile before handing Harry a napkin.]

“Just- don’t tell Steven, alright? But if you need help. I’m here. Hell, were technically family now-“

I won’t I just- I thought you hated me? But you’re- you’re being so nice? I guess u just don’t get it…

“Cause, you’re family now, I guess. Plus, Steven always said to be nice to ya. So, also, cause.. i don’t really hold a grudge.”

huh.. well, thank you, again. It really means a lot to me.

and-Steven talks about me..?

“Course. Also, mhm. He talked about you a lot. Before the whole.. y’know- but, yeah. He was always talking about how excited he was to show you his kids. Heh.”

oh that- he-

I should have gone and seen him sooner. I shouldn’t have waited so long…

“Meh. Hey. Cool it- what could ya have done? I mean-“

[Jake.. sighed. Holy shit Jake is opening up.]

I mean- I guess I just-

I wish I had been better for him. I wish I had kept him safe

“…You work at fazbender’s. Just, be happy he’s with you now. Yeah? If by safe? You mean for him not to die- well, I doubt you being there would change much. Harsh? Maybe, but still.”

I suppose you’re right… it’s useless to waste time mourning things we can’t change.

“..mhm. Now then, onto you. What’s up with ya? If you don’t feel like answerin’ that’s cool.”

oh uh- not much honestly. I don’t live in the office anymore so! Thats nice..

“…You lived in your fuckin’ office…,??”

you didn’t.??

“…I slept in a house. Are you like.- is your bloodline okay..??? Because Steven did the same shit.”

I mean- neither of us had a house

“…….Fair enough. Do… you have a house now..? I mean, ya live with someone, right?”

yes, I live with another manager, a newer model, called “Bruce”

“…you moved in with someone. Huh, congrats on the coming out.”

I’ve- you know I had a husband before, right?

“..Damn. So, Steven has a new dad. Cool.”

Wh- me and Bruce aren’t- I mean not yet- it’s-

…

“Heh.. I can’t say what Steven thinks. But, i find this humorous.”

I mean- I’d want to, but he has to figure something out first

“Eh. Take your time you two. Something something you got this. Gay.. or whatever-“

pfft-well, thank you, that means a lot to me.

“Mhmm.. oh. Did you know Steven had a wife.”

vaguely? I don’t think I ever met her though..

“Huh. So you remember her. Cool. Or,, at least you sorta remember her.”

“Yeah she died.”

Oh! Thats unfortunate, I suppose.

“Eh. It happens. To be honest? I have no fucking clue what I’m doin. I jus’ randomly remember shit Steven wishes to tell ya.”

huh. That… sounds unhealthy.

“…..Which part.. Steven’s? If so, he just worries bout your opinion on em.”

the lack of memory part.

#savior duo #IN SORRY THIS THREAD IS SO LONG ACK #Jake and Harry interactions r so interesting to me ack

“..Eh. It’s fine. Probably, something something, shitty coding-“

hello! It’s been a couple days so I thought I’d stop by…

@ask-harry-fitzgerald

“Oh. Hello! How have you been?”

I’ve been well, although, tired. I’ve been working later..

“Ah. Oh dear, well that’s never good. If you want I can make you some tea or coffee…?”

tea would be nice, but it’s not necessary. How have you been?

“On it. Also, I’ve been fine… just tired..-“

ha-! I certainly feel that… our duties are exhausting.

“….Ha… yeah. Jake recently took up a job. Which is good! Just. Long hours- but that’s a ramble for another day. How has your boss been?”

[He handed Harry a cup of tea!]

ah- yes.

my boss has been… well, he’s been the same as always, if I’m being honest. He’s strange, constantly seems on the verge of… something, and doesn’t show up to work much.

and thank you, for the tea

“I suppose he’s the same from when he was my employee. But that was years ago, I should probably let that go.-“

[HE sighed before taking a few minutes to compose himself.]

“Ha. That reminds me? How is the person you share a house with? If you care for small talk that is. If not? That is alright also.”

oh-! Uh- he’s good! We haven’t been talking much.. differing hours and stuff..

But! I do enjoy talking to you, it’s really quite nice..

“..Wow. That’s… very understandable. One day you two should take a break together. If you are able”

“…I’m glad. That means a lot to me. I mean it. I enjoy talking and catching up with you..!”

we should.. I really like him.

and I’m glad you enjoy talking to me. We should catch up more!

[Steven can keep his Fox pet. So, surprise, Harry!]

“I’m glad. You seem happy when talking about him. But, I agree..! Even if I do not have any updates..- I like being able to simply talk. It’s comforting.”

I am happy when I talk about him, and I agree, I simply enjoy talking with you.

“Heh. I’m glad you’ve met someone who’s made you happy. You deserve it! You’ve been a hard worker for as long as I can remember…”

You’re also a hard worker! I’m very proud of your work, it’s all been very impressive.

“.ha.. thank you. Means a lot coming from you…honestly …”

of course! You’re very good at what you do.

“Well. I’ve learned from the best- though, I worry..-“

why? What do you worry about?

“You- stress. A lot of things.. I need you. Get some help with it..-“

I’m.. afraid I don’t understand what you mean?

“I’m more worried about my family rather than anything else in life- I don’t know..- Jake is working, Yay! What if he gets hurt? What if YOU get hurt.??? Mike and Junior need help..-“

hm, well, I suppose that makes sense.. I’m afraid I don’t have much advice. You were always a well behaved kid, I never had any problems with you.

“Still- just. I- never mind. Ignore my ramble.. let’s go back to you.!”

Well, I’m not any more interesting, not right now, so I’m not entirely sure what I’d even talk about! Ha-!

“…I.. what do people usually talk about..- i haven’t worked in.. a bit but- its..-“

I’m… not quite sure outside of work..?

“….I- sorry. I should’ve prepared myself better. This must be a disappointing meeting. My apologies.”

[He doesn’t mean to be self deprecating.. hes just eepy…]

it’s fine, not like I had anything better. Besides, it’s not disappointing, I got to see you!

“..You have work which. Is far more important than I. I suppose I miss simple sitting near you. It feels calming.!”

“God. I just want to. F- urh..”

[pkay I lied his mood automatically dropped. His head is on the table.]

Well, we can just sit then! I don’t mind.

but uh- are you ok?

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

[his speech is indeed muffled…]

I think I might worry anyways? You don’t seem. Great?

“Nono. I’m oka…y. Just… headache..?”

[anywho, hi harry. Imagine seeing your son human again!!!]

*he sucks in a sharp breath at seeing Steven as human again, mildly shocked by it*

O-oh… well- can I get you anything?

“..i should be okay.. just..Urgh… hi harry…”

hi Steven… can I get you anything? Please? I worry about you y’know..

[he QUICKLY sat up before looking ar Harry.!]

“Nonono.!! I’m okay!! Honestly.. see?? Just- I’m honestly fine..!”

I- yeah. Sure. If you insist. Just- I Want to help you, y’know?

“….,,Huh..,? Oh..- I probably.. just need a drink.. y’know…? Water.. energy drinks.. doesn’t matter.-“

ill get you water, you said your head hurts right? Energy drinks might make that worse

“..Yeah.. just. Low energy..- i think..?? I’m… tired..”

I understand that. You work hard, and don’t rest as much as you really should.

“I.Rest..-! I mean.! i last took a rest yesterday. Ask anyone. They’d agree.”

hm.. well, even still, if you’re still tired, you may still need more rest

“I will take a nap.. soon..?? i mean- I will take a nap soon. I promise!”

Good. Rest is important for your body, without it, you could fall behind

“w.. what do you mean by that exactly..? I.. ur.. fall behind..??”

[Hi! He sighed. Before looking at his dad!]

“I’m tired, I know I should rest..- but, I just. WORRY about my kids and the restaurant..-“

“..Dad, I’m tired. Do you think everything will still be alright..,,?”

oh..

…of course. Everything is going to be ok, I promise, ok?

“…Okay.”

“….Thank you..”

[Hi! steven basically placed his head back onto the table..]

don’t mention it kid…

*Harry hesitantly reached one hand over and placed it onto Steven’s head*

[Don’t worry Harry! Steven doesn’t mind it …]

“…Jake does the same thing. You two probably have a lot more in common than you think… funny, isn’t it…?”

[he gave a small chuckle..]

mhm… he’s.. I know he doesn’t like me. But I must admit I do really like him…

“Eh. He doesn’t really care. Just still upset about his kid..,, which, you two could probably bond over. Heh- as fucked as it sounds..-“

I- yeah, I guess… don’t really like the idea of trauma bonding but- I could try?

“….mrp.. maybe like..? Not in that way. But talk about having kids..? Or something..-“

I suppose… I’ll have to think about it…

besides, aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?

“…No. I didn’t say nap now.. I will later…-“

mhm, sure kid. But don’t keep yourself up on my account, alright? I want you to get some rest.

“…Soon. I. Promise yeah.?? Hell, you can even ask Jake. He’ll tell you the truth.- i just.. want to make sure something is. Okay.”

Oh- alright then? I’ll wait with you until then.

“….Really..?? You. Mean it..??”

Of course, why wouldn’t I?

“…Curiosity.- that’s all.. ha.”

[okay… hes getting eepy…]

Hm.. well, I suppose I don’t mind..

“…Thank you.,”

mhm…

*wow! He actually noticed Jake! Unobservant idiot/aff*

Hello..

“….Hey. What’s up with ya. Minus the stress of your kid.”

[hi! He gave a small smile. He’s much softer as a human.? Huh.]

oh- uh, not much? What about you?

“Been good, actually. You put him to sleep so, kudos. He never really slept as a human.. so.-“

yeah.. he’s always been prone to overworking. Aided and abetted by caffeine of course

“Ah. Well, yeah.. that makes sense.- he’s… kind, sure. But he’s a pain in the ass. Lovingly, of course.”

he’s stubborn, but he means well. He just wants the best for everyone but himself

“…Hm. I don’t know much bout you, but can I make a hunch and say you did the same? I mean, ya neglected your own needs to help yer kid.”

I- well I suppose he does get that from me.. but he has the support to not need to do that. I was almost entirely alone in raising him

[hi! Jake is patting steven…]

Well I- I dunno, I guess I just didn’t want him to end up like this…

“…We can’t really… y’know… stop it..- i dont think.”

I know, I just wish I had- I dunno, I wish I had done a better job, been a better role model, y’know?

even still I just-

*he sighs* I guess you’re right… sorry.

“..for..? You both say sorry a lot. Nothin’ to be sorry for. You’re fine, Harry. If it helps ya feel better.. I don’t hate you as much.”

[HE sighed before taking a few minutes to compose himself.]

“Ha. That reminds me? How is the person you share a house with? If you care for small talk that is. If not? That is alright also.”

oh-! Uh- he’s good! We haven’t been talking much.. differing hours and stuff..

But! I do enjoy talking to you, it’s really quite nice..

“..Wow. That’s… very understandable. One day you two should take a break together. If you are able”

“…I’m glad. That means a lot to me. I mean it. I enjoy talking and catching up with you..!”

we should.. I really like him.

and I’m glad you enjoy talking to me. We should catch up more!

[Steven can keep his Fox pet. So, surprise, Harry!]

“I’m glad. You seem happy when talking about him. But, I agree..! Even if I do not have any updates..- I like being able to simply talk. It’s comforting.”

I am happy when I talk about him, and I agree, I simply enjoy talking with you.

“Heh. I’m glad you’ve met someone who’s made you happy. You deserve it! You’ve been a hard worker for as long as I can remember…”

You’re also a hard worker! I’m very proud of your work, it’s all been very impressive.

“.ha.. thank you. Means a lot coming from you…honestly …”

of course! You’re very good at what you do.

“Well. I’ve learned from the best- though, I worry..-“

why? What do you worry about?

“You- stress. A lot of things.. I need you. Get some help with it..-“

I’m.. afraid I don’t understand what you mean?

“I’m more worried about my family rather than anything else in life- I don’t know..- Jake is working, Yay! What if he gets hurt? What if YOU get hurt.??? Mike and Junior need help..-“

hm, well, I suppose that makes sense.. I’m afraid I don’t have much advice. You were always a well behaved kid, I never had any problems with you.

“Still- just. I- never mind. Ignore my ramble.. let’s go back to you.!”

Well, I’m not any more interesting, not right now, so I’m not entirely sure what I’d even talk about! Ha-!

“…I.. what do people usually talk about..- i haven’t worked in.. a bit but- its..-“

I’m… not quite sure outside of work..?

“….I- sorry. I should’ve prepared myself better. This must be a disappointing meeting. My apologies.”

[He doesn’t mean to be self deprecating.. hes just eepy…]

it’s fine, not like I had anything better. Besides, it’s not disappointing, I got to see you!

“..You have work which. Is far more important than I. I suppose I miss simple sitting near you. It feels calming.!”

“God. I just want to. F- urh..”

[pkay I lied his mood automatically dropped. His head is on the table.]

Well, we can just sit then! I don’t mind.

but uh- are you ok?

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

[his speech is indeed muffled…]

I think I might worry anyways? You don’t seem. Great?

“Nono. I’m oka…y. Just… headache..?”

[anywho, hi harry. Imagine seeing your son human again!!!]

*he sucks in a sharp breath at seeing Steven as human again, mildly shocked by it*

O-oh… well- can I get you anything?

“..i should be okay.. just..Urgh… hi harry…”

hi Steven… can I get you anything? Please? I worry about you y’know..

[he QUICKLY sat up before looking ar Harry.!]

“Nonono.!! I’m okay!! Honestly.. see?? Just- I’m honestly fine..!”

I- yeah. Sure. If you insist. Just- I Want to help you, y’know?

“….,,Huh..,? Oh..- I probably.. just need a drink.. y’know…? Water.. energy drinks.. doesn’t matter.-“

ill get you water, you said your head hurts right? Energy drinks might make that worse

“..Yeah.. just. Low energy..- i think..?? I’m… tired..”

I understand that. You work hard, and don’t rest as much as you really should.

“I.Rest..-! I mean.! i last took a rest yesterday. Ask anyone. They’d agree.”

hm.. well, even still, if you’re still tired, you may still need more rest

“I will take a nap.. soon..?? i mean- I will take a nap soon. I promise!”

Good. Rest is important for your body, without it, you could fall behind

“w.. what do you mean by that exactly..? I.. ur.. fall behind..??”

[Hi! He sighed. Before looking at his dad!]

“I’m tired, I know I should rest..- but, I just. WORRY about my kids and the restaurant..-“

“..Dad, I’m tired. Do you think everything will still be alright..,,?”

oh..

…of course. Everything is going to be ok, I promise, ok?

“…Okay.”

“….Thank you..”

[Hi! steven basically placed his head back onto the table..]

don’t mention it kid…

*Harry hesitantly reached one hand over and placed it onto Steven’s head*

[Don’t worry Harry! Steven doesn’t mind it …]

“…Jake does the same thing. You two probably have a lot more in common than you think… funny, isn’t it…?”

[he gave a small chuckle..]

mhm… he’s.. I know he doesn’t like me. But I must admit I do really like him…

“Eh. He doesn’t really care. Just still upset about his kid..,, which, you two could probably bond over. Heh- as fucked as it sounds..-“

I- yeah, I guess… don’t really like the idea of trauma bonding but- I could try?

“….mrp.. maybe like..? Not in that way. But talk about having kids..? Or something..-“

I suppose… I’ll have to think about it…

besides, aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?

“…No. I didn’t say nap now.. I will later…-“

mhm, sure kid. But don’t keep yourself up on my account, alright? I want you to get some rest.

“…Soon. I. Promise yeah.?? Hell, you can even ask Jake. He’ll tell you the truth.- i just.. want to make sure something is. Okay.”

Oh- alright then? I’ll wait with you until then.

“….Really..?? You. Mean it..??”

Of course, why wouldn’t I?

“…Curiosity.- that’s all.. ha.”

[okay… hes getting eepy…]

Hm.. well, I suppose I don’t mind..

“…Thank you.,”

mhm…

*wow! He actually noticed Jake! Unobservant idiot/aff*

Hello..

“….Hey. What’s up with ya. Minus the stress of your kid.”

[hi! He gave a small smile. He’s much softer as a human.? Huh.]

oh- uh, not much? What about you?

“Been good, actually. You put him to sleep so, kudos. He never really slept as a human.. so.-“

yeah.. he’s always been prone to overworking. Aided and abetted by caffeine of course

“Ah. Well, yeah.. that makes sense.- he’s… kind, sure. But he’s a pain in the ass. Lovingly, of course.”

he’s stubborn, but he means well. He just wants the best for everyone but himself

“…Hm. I don’t know much bout you, but can I make a hunch and say you did the same? I mean, ya neglected your own needs to help yer kid.”

I- well I suppose he does get that from me.. but he has the support to not need to do that. I was almost entirely alone in raising him

[hi! Jake is patting steven…]

Well I- I dunno, I guess I just didn’t want him to end up like this…

“…We can’t really… y’know… stop it..- i dont think.”

I know, I just wish I had- I dunno, I wish I had done a better job, been a better role model, y’know?

even still I just-

*he sighs* I guess you’re right… sorry.

“..for..? You both say sorry a lot. Nothin’ to be sorry for. You’re fine, Harry. If it helps ya feel better.. I don’t hate you as much.”

“To be fair- I suppose I.. forgive ya.?? You were doin’ your job. So, eh. I don’t give a fuck.”

Oh I- what..? You-

well- thank you then. I mean it. You took care of Steven when I couldn’t, I’ve always liked you

“Eh. He wasn’t that bad. He’s a nice guy. Ya did good with what you had. Alright? Don’t forget that.”

I-

*he sounds like he’s about to cry*

Where is- where is this coming from?

“..aw shit- are you.. okay..?? Also, no where? I’m just bein’ honest.-“

[Jake sighed and gave a weak smile before handing Harry a napkin.]

“Just- don’t tell Steven, alright? But if you need help. I’m here. Hell, were technically family now-“

I won’t I just- I thought you hated me? But you’re- you’re being so nice? I guess u just don’t get it…

“Cause, you’re family now, I guess. Plus, Steven always said to be nice to ya. So, also, cause.. i don’t really hold a grudge.”

huh.. well, thank you, again. It really means a lot to me.

and-Steven talks about me..?

“Course. Also, mhm. He talked about you a lot. Before the whole.. y’know- but, yeah. He was always talking about how excited he was to show you his kids. Heh.”

oh that- he-

I should have gone and seen him sooner. I shouldn’t have waited so long…

“Meh. Hey. Cool it- what could ya have done? I mean-“

[Jake.. sighed. Holy shit Jake is opening up.]

I mean- I guess I just-

I wish I had been better for him. I wish I had kept him safe

“…You work at fazbender’s. Just, be happy he’s with you now. Yeah? If by safe? You mean for him not to die- well, I doubt you being there would change much. Harsh? Maybe, but still.”

I suppose you’re right… it’s useless to waste time mourning things we can’t change.

“..mhm. Now then, onto you. What’s up with ya? If you don’t feel like answerin’ that’s cool.”

oh uh- not much honestly. I don’t live in the office anymore so! Thats nice..

“…You lived in your fuckin’ office…,??”

you didn’t.??

“…I slept in a house. Are you like.- is your bloodline okay..??? Because Steven did the same shit.”

I mean- neither of us had a house

“…….Fair enough. Do… you have a house now..? I mean, ya live with someone, right?”

yes, I live with another manager, a newer model, called “Bruce”

“…you moved in with someone. Huh, congrats on the coming out.”

I’ve- you know I had a husband before, right?

“..Damn. So, Steven has a new dad. Cool.”

Wh- me and Bruce aren’t- I mean not yet- it’s-

…

“Heh.. I can’t say what Steven thinks. But, i find this humorous.”

I mean- I’d want to, but he has to figure something out first

“Eh. Take your time you two. Something something you got this. Gay.. or whatever-“

pfft-well, thank you, that means a lot to me.

“Mhmm.. oh. Did you know Steven had a wife.”

vaguely? I don’t think I ever met her though..

#‘oh wow! you remember her. Steven would be so happy!!’ ‘by the way she dropped dead lmao’#/silly #savior duo

“Huh. So you remember her. Cool. Or,, at least you sorta remember her.”

“Yeah she died.”

hello! It’s been a couple days so I thought I’d stop by…

@ask-harry-fitzgerald

“Oh. Hello! How have you been?”

I’ve been well, although, tired. I’ve been working later..

“Ah. Oh dear, well that’s never good. If you want I can make you some tea or coffee…?”

tea would be nice, but it’s not necessary. How have you been?

“On it. Also, I’ve been fine… just tired..-“

ha-! I certainly feel that… our duties are exhausting.

“….Ha… yeah. Jake recently took up a job. Which is good! Just. Long hours- but that’s a ramble for another day. How has your boss been?”

[He handed Harry a cup of tea!]

ah- yes.

my boss has been… well, he’s been the same as always, if I’m being honest. He’s strange, constantly seems on the verge of… something, and doesn’t show up to work much.

and thank you, for the tea

“I suppose he’s the same from when he was my employee. But that was years ago, I should probably let that go.-“

[HE sighed before taking a few minutes to compose himself.]

“Ha. That reminds me? How is the person you share a house with? If you care for small talk that is. If not? That is alright also.”

besides, aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?

“…No. I didn’t say nap now.. I will later…-“

mhm, sure kid. But don’t keep yourself up on my account, alright? I want you to get some rest.

“…Soon. I. Promise yeah.?? Hell, you can even ask Jake. He’ll tell you the truth.- i just.. want to make sure something is. Okay.”

Oh- alright then? I’ll wait with you until then.

“….Really..?? You. Mean it..??”

Of course, why wouldn’t I?

“…Curiosity.- that’s all.. ha.”

[okay… hes getting eepy…]

Hm.. well, I suppose I don’t mind..

“…Thank you.,”

mhm…

*wow! He actually noticed Jake! Unobservant idiot/aff*

Hello..

“….Hey. What’s up with ya. Minus the stress of your kid.”

[hi! He gave a small smile. He’s much softer as a human.? Huh.]

oh- uh, not much? What about you?

“Been good, actually. You put him to sleep so, kudos. He never really slept as a human.. so.-“

yeah.. he’s always been prone to overworking. Aided and abetted by caffeine of course

“Ah. Well, yeah.. that makes sense.- he’s… kind, sure. But he’s a pain in the ass. Lovingly, of course.”

he’s stubborn, but he means well. He just wants the best for everyone but himself

“…Hm. I don’t know much bout you, but can I make a hunch and say you did the same? I mean, ya neglected your own needs to help yer kid.”

I- well I suppose he does get that from me.. but he has the support to not need to do that. I was almost entirely alone in raising him

[hi! Jake is patting steven…]

Well I- I dunno, I guess I just didn’t want him to end up like this…

“…We can’t really… y’know… stop it..- i dont think.”

I know, I just wish I had- I dunno, I wish I had done a better job, been a better role model, y’know?

even still I just-

*he sighs* I guess you’re right… sorry.

“..for..? You both say sorry a lot. Nothin’ to be sorry for. You’re fine, Harry. If it helps ya feel better.. I don’t hate you as much.”

“To be fair- I suppose I.. forgive ya.?? You were doin’ your job. So, eh. I don’t give a fuck.”

Oh I- what..? You-

well- thank you then. I mean it. You took care of Steven when I couldn’t, I’ve always liked you

“Eh. He wasn’t that bad. He’s a nice guy. Ya did good with what you had. Alright? Don’t forget that.”

I-

*he sounds like he’s about to cry*

Where is- where is this coming from?

“..aw shit- are you.. okay..?? Also, no where? I’m just bein’ honest.-“

[Jake sighed and gave a weak smile before handing Harry a napkin.]

“Just- don’t tell Steven, alright? But if you need help. I’m here. Hell, were technically family now-“

I won’t I just- I thought you hated me? But you’re- you’re being so nice? I guess u just don’t get it…

“Cause, you’re family now, I guess. Plus, Steven always said to be nice to ya. So, also, cause.. i don’t really hold a grudge.”

huh.. well, thank you, again. It really means a lot to me.

and-Steven talks about me..?

“Course. Also, mhm. He talked about you a lot. Before the whole.. y’know- but, yeah. He was always talking about how excited he was to show you his kids. Heh.”

oh that- he-

I should have gone and seen him sooner. I shouldn’t have waited so long…

“Meh. Hey. Cool it- what could ya have done? I mean-“

[Jake.. sighed. Holy shit Jake is opening up.]

I mean- I guess I just-

I wish I had been better for him. I wish I had kept him safe

“…You work at fazbender’s. Just, be happy he’s with you now. Yeah? If by safe? You mean for him not to die- well, I doubt you being there would change much. Harsh? Maybe, but still.”

I suppose you’re right… it’s useless to waste time mourning things we can’t change.

“..mhm. Now then, onto you. What’s up with ya? If you don’t feel like answerin’ that’s cool.”

oh uh- not much honestly. I don’t live in the office anymore so! Thats nice..

“…You lived in your fuckin’ office…,??”

you didn’t.??

“…I slept in a house. Are you like.- is your bloodline okay..??? Because Steven did the same shit.”

I mean- neither of us had a house

“…….Fair enough. Do… you have a house now..? I mean, ya live with someone, right?”

yes, I live with another manager, a newer model, called “Bruce”

“…you moved in with someone. Huh, congrats on the coming out.”

I’ve- you know I had a husband before, right?

“..Damn. So, Steven has a new dad. Cool.”

Wh- me and Bruce aren’t- I mean not yet- it’s-

…

“Heh.. I can’t say what Steven thinks. But, i find this humorous.”

I mean- I’d want to, but he has to figure something out first

#basically bruce thought he was straight #<- jake when uhh Steven #savior duo

“Eh. Take your time you two. Something something you got this. Gay.. or whatever-“

hello! It’s been a couple days so I thought I’d stop by…

@ask-harry-fitzgerald

“Oh. Hello! How have you been?”

I’ve been well, although, tired. I’ve been working later..

“Ah. Oh dear, well that’s never good. If you want I can make you some tea or coffee…?”

tea would be nice, but it’s not necessary. How have you been?

“On it. Also, I’ve been fine… just tired..-“

ha-! I certainly feel that… our duties are exhausting.

“….Ha… yeah. Jake recently took up a job. Which is good! Just. Long hours- but that’s a ramble for another day. How has your boss been?”

[He handed Harry a cup of tea!]

ah- yes.

my boss has been… well, he’s been the same as always, if I’m being honest. He’s strange, constantly seems on the verge of… something, and doesn’t show up to work much.

and thank you, for the tea

“I suppose he’s the same from when he was my employee. But that was years ago, I should probably let that go.-“

[HE sighed before taking a few minutes to compose himself.]

“Ha. That reminds me? How is the person you share a house with? If you care for small talk that is. If not? That is alright also.”

oh-! Uh- he’s good! We haven’t been talking much.. differing hours and stuff..

But! I do enjoy talking to you, it’s really quite nice..

“..Wow. That’s… very understandable. One day you two should take a break together. If you are able”

“…I’m glad. That means a lot to me. I mean it. I enjoy talking and catching up with you..!”

we should.. I really like him.

and I’m glad you enjoy talking to me. We should catch up more!

[Steven can keep his Fox pet. So, surprise, Harry!]

“I’m glad. You seem happy when talking about him. But, I agree..! Even if I do not have any updates..- I like being able to simply talk. It’s comforting.”

I am happy when I talk about him, and I agree, I simply enjoy talking with you.

“Heh. I’m glad you’ve met someone who’s made you happy. You deserve it! You’ve been a hard worker for as long as I can remember…”

You’re also a hard worker! I’m very proud of your work, it’s all been very impressive.

“.ha.. thank you. Means a lot coming from you…honestly …”

of course! You’re very good at what you do.

“Well. I’ve learned from the best- though, I worry..-“

why? What do you worry about?

“You- stress. A lot of things.. I need you. Get some help with it..-“

I’m.. afraid I don’t understand what you mean?

“I’m more worried about my family rather than anything else in life- I don’t know..- Jake is working, Yay! What if he gets hurt? What if YOU get hurt.??? Mike and Junior need help..-“

hm, well, I suppose that makes sense.. I’m afraid I don’t have much advice. You were always a well behaved kid, I never had any problems with you.

“Still- just. I- never mind. Ignore my ramble.. let’s go back to you.!”

Well, I’m not any more interesting, not right now, so I’m not entirely sure what I’d even talk about! Ha-!

“…I.. what do people usually talk about..- i haven’t worked in.. a bit but- its..-“

I’m… not quite sure outside of work..?

“….I- sorry. I should’ve prepared myself better. This must be a disappointing meeting. My apologies.”

[He doesn’t mean to be self deprecating.. hes just eepy…]

it’s fine, not like I had anything better. Besides, it’s not disappointing, I got to see you!

“..You have work which. Is far more important than I. I suppose I miss simple sitting near you. It feels calming.!”

“God. I just want to. F- urh..”

[pkay I lied his mood automatically dropped. His head is on the table.]

Well, we can just sit then! I don’t mind.

but uh- are you ok?

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

[his speech is indeed muffled…]

I think I might worry anyways? You don’t seem. Great?

“Nono. I’m oka…y. Just… headache..?”

[anywho, hi harry. Imagine seeing your son human again!!!]

*he sucks in a sharp breath at seeing Steven as human again, mildly shocked by it*

O-oh… well- can I get you anything?

“..i should be okay.. just..Urgh… hi harry…”

hi Steven… can I get you anything? Please? I worry about you y’know..

[he QUICKLY sat up before looking ar Harry.!]

“Nonono.!! I’m okay!! Honestly.. see?? Just- I’m honestly fine..!”

I- yeah. Sure. If you insist. Just- I Want to help you, y’know?

“….,,Huh..,? Oh..- I probably.. just need a drink.. y’know…? Water.. energy drinks.. doesn’t matter.-“

ill get you water, you said your head hurts right? Energy drinks might make that worse

“..Yeah.. just. Low energy..- i think..?? I’m… tired..”

I understand that. You work hard, and don’t rest as much as you really should.

“I.Rest..-! I mean.! i last took a rest yesterday. Ask anyone. They’d agree.”

hm.. well, even still, if you’re still tired, you may still need more rest

“I will take a nap.. soon..?? i mean- I will take a nap soon. I promise!”

Good. Rest is important for your body, without it, you could fall behind

“w.. what do you mean by that exactly..? I.. ur.. fall behind..??”

[Hi! He sighed. Before looking at his dad!]

“I’m tired, I know I should rest..- but, I just. WORRY about my kids and the restaurant..-“

“..Dad, I’m tired. Do you think everything will still be alright..,,?”

oh..

…of course. Everything is going to be ok, I promise, ok?

“…Okay.”

“….Thank you..”

[Hi! steven basically placed his head back onto the table..]

don’t mention it kid…

*Harry hesitantly reached one hand over and placed it onto Steven’s head*

[Don’t worry Harry! Steven doesn’t mind it …]

“…Jake does the same thing. You two probably have a lot more in common than you think… funny, isn’t it…?”

[he gave a small chuckle..]

mhm… he’s.. I know he doesn’t like me. But I must admit I do really like him…

“Eh. He doesn’t really care. Just still upset about his kid..,, which, you two could probably bond over. Heh- as fucked as it sounds..-“

I- yeah, I guess… don’t really like the idea of trauma bonding but- I could try?

“….mrp.. maybe like..? Not in that way. But talk about having kids..? Or something..-“

I suppose… I’ll have to think about it…

besides, aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?

“…No. I didn’t say nap now.. I will later…-“

oh- uh, not much? What about you?

“Been good, actually. You put him to sleep so, kudos. He never really slept as a human.. so.-“

yeah.. he’s always been prone to overworking. Aided and abetted by caffeine of course

“Ah. Well, yeah.. that makes sense.- he’s… kind, sure. But he’s a pain in the ass. Lovingly, of course.”

he’s stubborn, but he means well. He just wants the best for everyone but himself

“…Hm. I don’t know much bout you, but can I make a hunch and say you did the same? I mean, ya neglected your own needs to help yer kid.”

I- well I suppose he does get that from me.. but he has the support to not need to do that. I was almost entirely alone in raising him

“Ha. That reminds me? How is the person you share a house with? If you care for small talk that is. If not? That is alright also.”

oh-! Uh- he’s good! We haven’t been talking much.. differing hours and stuff..

But! I do enjoy talking to you, it’s really quite nice..

“..Wow. That’s… very understandable. One day you two should take a break together. If you are able”

“…I’m glad. That means a lot to me. I mean it. I enjoy talking and catching up with you..!”

we should.. I really like him.

and I’m glad you enjoy talking to me. We should catch up more!

[Steven can keep his Fox pet. So, surprise, Harry!]

“I’m glad. You seem happy when talking about him. But, I agree..! Even if I do not have any updates..- I like being able to simply talk. It’s comforting.”

I am happy when I talk about him, and I agree, I simply enjoy talking with you.

“Heh. I’m glad you’ve met someone who’s made you happy. You deserve it! You’ve been a hard worker for as long as I can remember…”

You’re also a hard worker! I’m very proud of your work, it’s all been very impressive.

“.ha.. thank you. Means a lot coming from you…honestly …”

of course! You’re very good at what you do.

“Well. I’ve learned from the best- though, I worry..-“

why? What do you worry about?

“You- stress. A lot of things.. I need you. Get some help with it..-“

I’m.. afraid I don’t understand what you mean?

“I’m more worried about my family rather than anything else in life- I don’t know..- Jake is working, Yay! What if he gets hurt? What if YOU get hurt.??? Mike and Junior need help..-“

hm, well, I suppose that makes sense.. I’m afraid I don’t have much advice. You were always a well behaved kid, I never had any problems with you.

“Still- just. I- never mind. Ignore my ramble.. let’s go back to you.!”

Well, I’m not any more interesting, not right now, so I’m not entirely sure what I’d even talk about! Ha-!

“…I.. what do people usually talk about..- i haven’t worked in.. a bit but- its..-“

I’m… not quite sure outside of work..?

“….I- sorry. I should’ve prepared myself better. This must be a disappointing meeting. My apologies.”

[He doesn’t mean to be self deprecating.. hes just eepy…]

it’s fine, not like I had anything better. Besides, it’s not disappointing, I got to see you!

“..You have work which. Is far more important than I. I suppose I miss simple sitting near you. It feels calming.!”

“God. I just want to. F- urh..”

[pkay I lied his mood automatically dropped. His head is on the table.]

Well, we can just sit then! I don’t mind.

but uh- are you ok?

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

[his speech is indeed muffled…]

I think I might worry anyways? You don’t seem. Great?

“Nono. I’m oka…y. Just… headache..?”

[anywho, hi harry. Imagine seeing your son human again!!!]

*he sucks in a sharp breath at seeing Steven as human again, mildly shocked by it*

O-oh… well- can I get you anything?

“..i should be okay.. just..Urgh… hi harry…”

hi Steven… can I get you anything? Please? I worry about you y’know..

[he QUICKLY sat up before looking ar Harry.!]

“Nonono.!! I’m okay!! Honestly.. see?? Just- I’m honestly fine..!”

I- yeah. Sure. If you insist. Just- I Want to help you, y’know?

“….,,Huh..,? Oh..- I probably.. just need a drink.. y’know…? Water.. energy drinks.. doesn’t matter.-“

ill get you water, you said your head hurts right? Energy drinks might make that worse

“..Yeah.. just. Low energy..- i think..?? I’m… tired..”

I understand that. You work hard, and don’t rest as much as you really should.

“I.Rest..-! I mean.! i last took a rest yesterday. Ask anyone. They’d agree.”

hm.. well, even still, if you’re still tired, you may still need more rest

“I will take a nap.. soon..?? i mean- I will take a nap soon. I promise!”

Good. Rest is important for your body, without it, you could fall behind

“w.. what do you mean by that exactly..? I.. ur.. fall behind..??”

[Hi! He sighed. Before looking at his dad!]

“I’m tired, I know I should rest..- but, I just. WORRY about my kids and the restaurant..-“

“..Dad, I’m tired. Do you think everything will still be alright..,,?”

oh..

…of course. Everything is going to be ok, I promise, ok?

“…Okay.”

“….Thank you..”

[Hi! steven basically placed his head back onto the table..]

don’t mention it kid…

*Harry hesitantly reached one hand over and placed it onto Steven’s head*

[Don’t worry Harry! Steven doesn’t mind it …]

“…Jake does the same thing. You two probably have a lot more in common than you think… funny, isn’t it…?”

[he gave a small chuckle..]

mhm… he’s.. I know he doesn’t like me. But I must admit I do really like him…

“Eh. He doesn’t really care. Just still upset about his kid..,, which, you two could probably bond over. Heh- as fucked as it sounds..-“

I- yeah, I guess… don’t really like the idea of trauma bonding but- I could try?

“….mrp.. maybe like..? Not in that way. But talk about having kids..? Or something..-“

I suppose… I’ll have to think about it…

besides, aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?

“…No. I didn’t say nap now.. I will later…-“

mhm, sure kid. But don’t keep yourself up on my account, alright? I want you to get some rest.

“…Soon. I. Promise yeah.?? Hell, you can even ask Jake. He’ll tell you the truth.- i just.. want to make sure something is. Okay.”

Oh- alright then? I’ll wait with you until then.

“….Really..?? You. Mean it..??”

Of course, why wouldn’t I?

“…Curiosity.- that’s all.. ha.”

[okay… hes getting eepy…]

Hm.. well, I suppose I don’t mind..

“…Thank you.,”

mhm…

*wow! He actually noticed Jake! Unobservant idiot/aff*

Hello..

“….Hey. What’s up with ya. Minus the stress of your kid.”

[hi! He gave a small smile. He’s much softer as a human.? Huh.]

oh- uh, not much? What about you?

“Been good, actually. You put him to sleep so, kudos. He never really slept as a human.. so.-“

yeah.. he’s always been prone to overworking. Aided and abetted by caffeine of course

“Ah. Well, yeah.. that makes sense.- he’s… kind, sure. But he’s a pain in the ass. Lovingly, of course.”

he’s stubborn, but he means well. He just wants the best for everyone but himself

“…Hm. I don’t know much bout you, but can I make a hunch and say you did the same? I mean, ya neglected your own needs to help yer kid.”

I- well I suppose he does get that from me.. but he has the support to not need to do that. I was almost entirely alone in raising him

[hi! Jake is patting steven…]

Well I- I dunno, I guess I just didn’t want him to end up like this…

“…We can’t really… y’know… stop it..- i dont think.”

I know, I just wish I had- I dunno, I wish I had done a better job, been a better role model, y’know?

even still I just-

*he sighs* I guess you’re right… sorry.

“..for..? You both say sorry a lot. Nothin’ to be sorry for. You’re fine, Harry. If it helps ya feel better.. I don’t hate you as much.”

“To be fair- I suppose I.. forgive ya.?? You were doin’ your job. So, eh. I don’t give a fuck.”

Oh I- what..? You-

well- thank you then. I mean it. You took care of Steven when I couldn’t, I’ve always liked you

“Eh. He wasn’t that bad. He’s a nice guy. Ya did good with what you had. Alright? Don’t forget that.”

I-

*he sounds like he’s about to cry*

Where is- where is this coming from?

“..aw shit- are you.. okay..?? Also, no where? I’m just bein’ honest.-“

[Jake sighed and gave a weak smile before handing Harry a napkin.]

“Just- don’t tell Steven, alright? But if you need help. I’m here. Hell, were technically family now-“

I won’t I just- I thought you hated me? But you’re- you’re being so nice? I guess u just don’t get it…

“Cause, you’re family now, I guess. Plus, Steven always said to be nice to ya. So, also, cause.. i don’t really hold a grudge.”

huh.. well, thank you, again. It really means a lot to me.

and-Steven talks about me..?

“Course. Also, mhm. He talked about you a lot. Before the whole.. y’know- but, yeah. He was always talking about how excited he was to show you his kids. Heh.”

oh that- he-

I should have gone and seen him sooner. I shouldn’t have waited so long…

“Meh. Hey. Cool it- what could ya have done? I mean-“

[Jake.. sighed. Holy shit Jake is opening up.]

I mean- I guess I just-

I wish I had been better for him. I wish I had kept him safe

“…You work at fazbender’s. Just, be happy he’s with you now. Yeah? If by safe? You mean for him not to die- well, I doubt you being there would change much. Harsh? Maybe, but still.”

I suppose you’re right… it’s useless to waste time mourning things we can’t change.

“..mhm. Now then, onto you. What’s up with ya? If you don’t feel like answerin’ that’s cool.”

oh uh- not much honestly. I don’t live in the office anymore so! Thats nice..

“…You lived in your fuckin’ office…,??”

you didn’t.??

“…I slept in a house. Are you like.- is your bloodline okay..??? Because Steven did the same shit.”

I mean- neither of us had a house

“…….Fair enough. Do… you have a house now..? I mean, ya live with someone, right?”

yes, I live with another manager, a newer model, called “Bruce”

#sorry i took so long to respond #<- NONO ITS OKAY DW :33 #jake called harry gay :(

“…you moved in with someone. Huh, congrats on the coming out.”

hello! It’s been a couple days so I thought I’d stop by…

@ask-harry-fitzgerald

“Oh. Hello! How have you been?”

I’ve been well, although, tired. I’ve been working later..

“Ah. Oh dear, well that’s never good. If you want I can make you some tea or coffee…?”

tea would be nice, but it’s not necessary. How have you been?

“On it. Also, I’ve been fine… just tired..-“

ha-! I certainly feel that… our duties are exhausting.

“….Ha… yeah. Jake recently took up a job. Which is good! Just. Long hours- but that’s a ramble for another day. How has your boss been?”

[He handed Harry a cup of tea!]

ah- yes.

my boss has been… well, he’s been the same as always, if I’m being honest. He’s strange, constantly seems on the verge of… something, and doesn’t show up to work much.

and thank you, for the tea

“I suppose he’s the same from when he was my employee. But that was years ago, I should probably let that go.-“

[HE sighed before taking a few minutes to compose himself.]

“Ha. That reminds me? How is the person you share a house with? If you care for small talk that is. If not? That is alright also.”
