TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: I don’t think so.

Ty: I would kinda like that.

[a minute passes]

Ty: I would really like that.

Ty: I think that would be like, fine.

TEXTING: TY Zac: I'd really like that too. Zac: And I wanna cheer you up? Zac: And, well... Haha, you know how much I enjoy touching you just to see you react. So. It's win/win... :)

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: We did always have fun, huh?

Ty: I kinda want that again.

Ty: And we were pretty good together.

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: Down the line. Some other time. Yep, yep, yep. Sounds good.

Ty: I missed you.

TEXTING: TY Zac: Ty... 👀 Zac: I missed you too. [a few minutes pass] Zac: I don't think a kiss would hurt either of us, right? Zac: I mean. Not to be weird! I just... Zac: I could distract you. If you wanted. I'm good at kissing. Zac: Well, you know that, I think. But I could. I could help you out.

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: I don’t think so.

Ty: I would kinda like that.

[a minute passes]

Ty: I would really like that.

Ty: I think that would be like, fine.

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: I always do, man.

Ty: Just… never mind…

Ty: Why do you like this show so much again? Anyway, I promise to keep my hands to myself. Mostly :)

Ty: Unless you think I’ll get SO bored I’ll end up shoving my face in your crotch?

TEXTING: TY Zac: Haha, okay! Zac: It's fun! And trashy! And everyone's hot. Zac: And the butts! Remember the BUTTS! Zac: Wait Zac: Mostly? Zac: WAIT Zac: I didn't mean it like that... Zac: Not that I'm saying no to that haha. But I don't think that's what you want right now. :)

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: The butts! Of course!

Ty: I will keep my hands to myself. I promise.

Ty: I told you, I’m not trying to fuck around on you.

Ty: But maybe sometime later down the line.

Ty: When we’ve both had some space from this whole shitshow.

TEXTING: TY Zac: THE BUTTS! :) Zac: Haha. No, I get it. Don't worry. :) Zac: Maybe sometime later down the line, yeah. Zac: Because I would not be opposed to having your hands on me. Zac: Some other time.

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: Down the line. Some other time. Yep, yep, yep. Sounds good.

Ty: I missed you.

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: Huh. Thanks, Zac baby.

Ty: Just senseless fucking with pretty girls and boys in my future. And who am I to complain? I don’t need a boyfriend.

Ty: That sounds… never mind.

Ty: A warm hug. That would be really nice right about now.

Ty: I just wanna shove my face into your neck and listen to David Tennant be Scottish and forget about my heart hurting.

Ty: I love Daddy Hotch so much though.

TEXTING: TY Zac: You can have sex and have fun! You're single and that's your right. Just look after yourself too, yeah? Zac: Sounds what? Zac: I can do hugs. :) I'm great at hugs! Zac: Oh... Haha. Well, you're welcome to put your face wherever you need, but sadly David Tennant isn't Scottish in this one... Zac: Wait, that sounded. Nevermind. Zac: Haha he is kind of the best...

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: I always do, man.

Ty: Just… never mind…

Ty: Why do you like this show so much again? Anyway, I promise to keep my hands to myself. Mostly :)

Ty: Unless you think I’ll get SO bored I’ll end up shoving my face in your crotch?

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: I mean, I kind of thought so. I guess I’m just not… boyfriend material, or whatever?

Ty: Actually. That’s stupid. I would be a great boyfriend.

Ty: I guess like.

Ty: I just maybe wasn’t enough. Or I was too much.

Ty: You didn’t make me feel bad, baby.

Ty: You’ve always been a good friend to me. I just

Ty: I’m not trying to fuck around on you again. Promise.

Ty: How interesting can Casablanca even be?

Ty: Ummm… can we use your Disney+ subscription?

Ty: I logged out of the guy’s in a fit of rage.

Ty: I really miss bingeing Criminal Minds.

TEXTING: TY Zac: Haha, yeah. I mean, I agree. I think you'd be a good boyfriend. Zac: Ty. I don't think you're too much. I think you're really really great, and I'm sorry that things didn't work out for you and your boyfriend. But that doesn't mean that you're the problem, ok? Zac: Haha, no idea. They do this sometimes. They watch movies out in the living room a lot and then I guess they go into Art's room to watch some more. They're usually pretty quiet, his buddy gets REALLY focused on movies. :) Zac: Wow haha yeah of course! Zac: I kind of meant more like... Snacks, blankets, a warm hug? Zac: But I will get you back on track with Aaron Hotchner! 🫡

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: Huh. Thanks, Zac baby.

Ty: Just senseless fucking with pretty girls and boys in my future. And who am I to complain? I don’t need a boyfriend.

Ty: That sounds… never mind.

Ty: A warm hug. That would be really nice right about now.

Ty: I just wanna shove my face into your neck and listen to David Tennant be Scottish and forget about my heart hurting.

Ty: I love Daddy Hotch so much though.

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: Oh. Hahaha.

Ty: I don’t know if he did really like me, babe. But thanks.

Ty: Not because he didn’t come out, for what it’s worth.

Ty: Just other reasons.

Ty: I guess I’m just kind of bummed out.

Ty: I know things have kind of sucked with us lately, but it would be really nice to hang out.

TEXTING: TY Zac: Who wouldn't like you? You're kinda the best. Zac: What reasons? What do you mean? Zac: Hey, no. I'm sorry. Zac: I didn't mean to make you feel like things were bad or like I don't wanna see you. Zac: I've been a really crappy friend. :( Zac: Art and his buddy have gotten real quiet out there so their movie must be over haha. :) I'll just get changed real quick and then I can head over to you! Zac: Want me to bring anything?

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: I mean, I kind of thought so. I guess I’m just not… boyfriend material, or whatever?

Ty: Actually. That’s stupid. I would be a great boyfriend.

Ty: I guess like.

Ty: I logged out of the guy’s in a fit of rage.

Ty: I really miss bingeing Criminal Minds.

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: Don’t we have to watch the other movies to watch The Hobbit? I thought you said it was a prequel.

Ty: It’s alright. Really.

Ty: I guess I thought we were, but turns out not.

Ty: He’s not out. So. We weren’t publicising it.

Ty: Or maybe he just didn’t like me that much.

Ty: But fuck him, right?

TEXTING: TY Zac: Yeah! A prequel means it came first, Ty! Haha Zac: Oh no. That's so tough, buddy. I'm sorry. Zac: I get it. I know it must have been really scary for him, right? To like you so much but still be afraid. Zac: Did you guys stay friends? Zac: Oh. I assume not then. Yeah, I mean. If he ended things badly then that really sucks. Zac: What can I do to help?

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: Oh. Hahaha.

Ty: I don’t know if he did really like me, babe. But thanks.

Ty: Not because he didn’t come out, for what it’s worth.

Ty: Just other reasons.

Ty: I guess I’m just kind of bummed out.

Ty: I know things have kind of sucked with us lately, but it would be really nice to hang out.

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: And I famously don’t listen!

Ty: I’ll wait to see it in motion. I’m taking your word for it, babe.

Ty: Good :)

Ty: Uh

Ty: I kind of got dumped.

TEXTING: TY Zac: Trust me! Aidan Turner is handsome. You're CRAZY if you don't think Aidan Turner is handsome. Omg. Maybe we should watch The Hobbit too. Or Being Human. Zac: Oh. [several minutes pass] Zac: Crap. Ty. That really sucks, I'm sorry. Zac: Am I a bad friend? I had no idea you were dating someone?

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: Don’t we have to watch the other movies to watch The Hobbit? I thought you said it was a prequel.

Ty: It’s alright. Really.

Ty: I guess I thought we were, but turns out not.

Ty: He’s not out. So. We weren’t publicising it.

Ty: Or maybe he just didn’t like me that much.

Ty: But fuck him, right?

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: What’s an Eastenders?

Ty: And what’s with the porn stache on Turner?

Ty: I’m asking you to come over.

Ty: It would be nice to see a friend right now.

Ty: I could use a nice distraction, I guess.

TEXTING: TY Zac: HEY! I said no googling! Zac: Also, they ALL have those moustaches. Or, most of them... It was the 80's, Ty! Don't judge the tache! Zac: I can come over. :) Zac: Are you ok, though? What's going on?

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: And I famously don’t listen!

Ty: I’ll wait to see it in motion. I’m taking your word for it, babe.

Ty: Good :)

Ty: Uh

Ty: I kind of got dumped.

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: No way, man. Is anyone sexy?

Ty: You’re so adorable.

Ty: Anyway, I love to see butts. I wouldn’t complain about seeing yours at my front door. And on my bed.

TEXTING: TY Zac: It's kind of crazy but I sort of have a crush on this guy named Danny Dyer. But only in the show! Don't google him. You'd have to watch it to get it. Zac: But DO google Aidan Turner. And Alex Hassell. And Nafessa Williams. Actually, Bella Maclean too! They're all really sexy. Zac: Haha, oh! Zac: Wait, just so we're on the same page...? Zac: Are you asking me over to watch tv or for... other reasons?

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: What’s an Eastenders?

Ty: And what’s with the porn stache on Turner?

Ty: I’m asking you to come over.

Ty: It would be nice to see a friend right now.

Ty: I could use a nice distraction, I guess.

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: Is it good? Should we watch it together? Take a shot every time David Tennant is sexy?

Ty: I don’t care what we do as long as you get your pretty ass over here.

TEXTING: TY Zac: David isn't sexy in this one. :( Zac: But it IS good. In a kinda trashy way? We can totally watch it if you want! There's butts and stuff. Zac: Haha oh! Wait! Haha! I sent that last text before I saw yours about my butt. That's funny.

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: No way, man. Is anyone sexy?

Ty: You’re so adorable.

Ty: Anyway, I love to see butts. I wouldn’t complain about seeing yours at my front door. And on my bed.

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: Yeah. I know it’s not exactly an office job or anything, but it would be nice to be able to not play when I’m not feeling it.

Ty: Trashy tv? Love Is Blind? Survivor? Are all of those things more fun than your pal Ty?

Ty: I think she’s going out soon. Either way, why would she mind? Angel loves you.

TEXTING: TY Zac: I'm sorry, Ty! <3 Zac: Neither. Rivals! It has David Tennant in it. :) But no, I never said that! You're very very fun. Zac: What did you wanna do? Zac: Not that I don't wanna come hang out! Obviously I love hanging out with you. Zac: You know that. :) Zac: And aww! That's cute! She's the best.

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: Is it good? Should we watch it together? Take a shot every time David Tennant is sexy?

Ty: I don’t care what we do as long as you get your pretty ass over here.

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: Just not really feeling like playing much right now.

Ty: Exactly! Be my not-bitch, Zac.

Ty: Oh man, you can’t stay in your room all night while everybody else has fun. Why aren’t you having fun?

Ty: We should be having fun!

Ty: You could come to me?

TEXTING: TY Zac: Aw, man. That really sucks. I guess it must be hard when you can't really switch off from your job? Zac: I mean, uh. I guess you don't get to just 'not play' in sports, right? I'm my own boss, so if I don't wanna record a new episode, that's up to me. Zac: Hey! I didn't say I wasn't having fun! :) Zac: I was watching trashy tv. Zac: Oh! Sure? Is Angelica home? Would she mind?

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: Yeah. I know it’s not exactly an office job or anything, but it would be nice to be able to not play when I’m not feeling it.

Ty: Trashy tv? Love Is Blind? Survivor? Are all of those things more fun than your pal Ty?

Ty: I think she’s going out soon. Either way, why would she mind? Angel loves you.

TEXTING: ZAC Ty: Hey, baby! Ty: No. That was me dropping a challenge and you're gonna rise to it, man! Ty: Aw, fuck tennis. Ty: I can't bounce from home to the gym to the court any longer. Ty: Come out. Ty: Or I'll come to you?

TEXTING: TY Zac: :) Zac: Hey, you love tennis! And you're REALLY good at it I've heard! Zac: Oh! I see! Zac: You want me to be the Not Bitch that comes out on a Monday night? Really? Zac: Oh, I don't know if it's a good idea to come here, haha. Art has a buddy over. They're watching Casablanca, and they don't really like interruptions during movie nights. Bonnie took Sylvie out for dinner so I'm sort of holed up in my bedroom right now. Zac: Where did you wanna go exactly?

TEXTING: ZAC

Ty: Just not really feeling like playing much right now.

Ty: Exactly! Be my not-bitch, Zac.

Ty: Oh man, you can’t stay in your room all night while everybody else has fun. Why aren’t you having fun?

Ty: We should be having fun!

Ty: You could come to me?
