life is but a dream

Christopher (Cris) Karoksky-Smythe I'm the sort of things dreams are made of. 21 years old, art student, doing art on commission

“There you go, she stole your man, but in return we get a toaster oven.”

“I’ll share that logic with her and we’ll see how it goes.”

[cris-karofsky-smythe]

scoutxduval:

“Especially a toaster oven. I’ve always wanted one of those.”

“One of those will be nice. I’ll be sure to tell Reagan. She would make him get us one.”

[cris-karofsky-smythe]

scoutxduval:

“I believe it. Well I’m sure he’ll get over it eventually. Though if he wanted to buy us some sort of kitchen appliance, I wouldn’t stop him.”

“I will be sure to pass along the message.”

[cris-karofsky-smythe]

scoutxduval:

“Would he want to be? He wouldn’t be the center of attention as the best man.”

“It’s Nate. He would have found a way.”

[cris-karofsky-smythe]

scoutxduval:

“upset that you’re not getting married?”

“Upset that he can’t be best man.”

[cris-karofsky-smythe]

scoutxduval:

“Exactly. I don’t need a bit ceremony, or rings to show other people that Im in love. I know it, you know it… that’s all the matters.”

“You know Nate is going to be very upset, right?”

[cris-karofsky-smythe]

scoutxduval:

“Great. I know some people want it and they have dream weddings and whatnot but I never cared for the idea. It’s just not my cup of tea. Maybe someday that will change and I’ll be overwhelmed with the need for a white dress but… I don’t think so.”

“It’s always just seemed sort of arbitrary to me. If you know you’re going to love someone forever, why does more need to be added to it?”

[cris-karofsky-smythe]

scoutxduval:

“Good…. You’re not the marriage type either… right?”

“Not really. I mean, I get why people do it. For some people it feels good to have something a little more than just being together, but I never saw the use.”

[cris-karofsky-smythe]

scoutxduval:

“No. I like being Ms. Duval. So if you had any plans to propose, I suggest you don’t. Besides, you could never plan a musical number as spectacular as the one Nate did.”

“I can’t sing like Nate can, but don’t worry. I wasn’t going to propose.”

[cris-karofsky-smythe]

scoutxduval:

“Honestly? No. I’ve got no interest in big weddings, or small weddings. I don’t care to be Mrs. Anyone. Commitment is alright and I enjoy the idea of being with someone for life but I don’t think a ceremony and rings are necessary.

“You’re not just dying to be Mrs. Karofsky-Smythe?”

[cris-karofsky-smythe]

scoutxduval:

“I adore Vik like a brother and even in Australia, sexual attraction to one’s siblings is considered wrong. It’s considered a step below sexual attraction to dingoes.”

“Well that is always comforting to know. You’re not wanting all of that, are you? You know, the wedding and that stuff.”

“Thank you for that. He is to me what Nate is to you… but not quite as attached.”

“I would hope not. Like, if you’ve ever slept with Vik keep it to yourself. I’m fine being oblivious. I’m not normally the jealous type, but you seem to check all my exception boxes.”

[cris-karofsky-smythe]

scoutxduval:

“Somehow I don’t believe you, but I don’t want to know, then when the cops come question me, I can tell them I know nothing.”

“He’s important to you so I’m not going to do anything to him.”

[cris-karofsky-smythe]

scoutxduval:

“You could hire someone to do it. That wouldn’t be difficult. And that’s definitely happened in lifetime movies. My dad is obsessed with them. He records a bunch of them and has marathons.”

“Maybe I can get some tips from your dad. I have a few people that I need to take out and before you start questioning me, no Vik isn’t one of them...yet.”

[cris-karofsky-smythe]

scoutxduval:

“You’re a lifetime movie waiting to happen.”

“I wouldn’t make a good murderer so that’s off the table.”

[cris-karofsky-smythe]

scoutxduval:

“To think, if not for her, you could be Mr. St James right now.”

“She’s a homewrecker, that one. Stole Nate right from under me.”

[cris-karofsky-smythe]

scoutxduval:

“You’ve been on separate vacations, right? I thought that would help with the separating anxiety, go figure.”

“We avoided it when possible. What can I say, Nate and I have been attached at the hip since we were practically born. Then Reagan just had to steal him away.”
