Adeline: I was just desperate for shit to stop. It hasn't entirely but I'm told I can't expect it to.
Adeline: I know, and you're important to me.
Ivan: No, that kind of stuff never stops but it gets easier to manage when getting the proper help. That's what I've been doing.
Ivan: You're my best friend, man. You'll always be important to me. That's why I'm glad you told me where you've been.

Adeline: Meds, therapy, the whole shebang. Yeah, it has. I'm not nearly as deep in the dark as I was.
Adeline: You know I will.
Ivan: I'm so happy to hear that! It's amazing, honestly, because I was worried about you. I just want you to know how proud I am that you made this decision on your own. It shows real strength, you know?
Ivan: Good, you're important to me, Deli.

Ollie: *lets out a soft ‘awww’ as he watches his boyfriend tear up, hands back over his mouth as he shakes his head. He lets out a teary giggle* Honey.... don’t cry. I say as I’m bawling. *He squeaks and laughs, his eyes sparkling at the other. He touches a hand to his heart* I-I’m glad.... it felt good to hear too. But, I didn’t have to hear it to know how much you care about me. I’ve known.... *He sniffs and takes his glasses off to dry his eyes before putting them back on, even though he knows he’s just gonna tear up again* I thank you for loving me.... for my crazy self. *He snorts* Me who 95% of the time is going off and getting excited about the smallest of things and 5% of the time is having these meltdowns brought on by the part of my adhd that likes to make me stressed and anxious. And for supporting my sexuality too.... every day I’m really grateful for your understanding, even if I don’t always say it. It feels so good to be with somebody who loves me for me and doesn’t want me to change. It’s so good.... you’re so good. A-and I’m relieved you don’t take it personally, cause there’s no reason to. I still think you’re so beautiful. The most beautiful person in the entire world. Inside and out. You’re everything....
Ivan: ((Listening to what Ollie was saying, he couldn't help but wipe his cheeks again since he was crying still. He loved the other so much, and he was so glad he could say it. But, with everything his boyfriend was saying, he found himself smiling even brighter than he already was.)) You really think all of that about me? Because...I feel the same way. I love how much you respect me, how you don't think of me as lesser for the past I've had. You don't criticize me for being the way I am. Hell, I love that you don't look down on me for having my mental illnesses. I wish I could show you how much I appreciate it. That's why I said that I love you because it's the only thing that came to mind that could fit my feelings for you right now. My actions speak, they always will, and I know you appreciate all I do...as I appreciate your patience and support.

Ollie: *relaxes against the headboard on his bed and continues to watch his boyfriend, a smile fixed on his face while he hums the song with him. He doesn’t want to steal the show though, since he’s so entranced with Ivan’s singing. He is still caught up in the song when the other stops it and speaks, so he is taken by surprise. He jaw hangs down slightly, taking in what Ivan just said. His smile widens and he covers his mouth, more tears rolling down his cheeks. Tears of happiness and love* I love you too, Ivan.... I love you so, so much. *He nods to affirm, seeing how the other is shaking he wants him to know his feelings are genuine* I love you and I’m so proud to be with you. *He sniffs and scrubs his face*
Ivan: ((He watched Ollie react to what he said, causing him to nip his bottom lip. Sure, they were happy tears, but it was still nerve racking to see his boyfriend cry. But, as he heard him talk, Ivan's shoulders instantly sagged and he let a couple of tears fall from his own hues. It was hard not to, especially since he had been so nervous saying it in the first place.)) I'm proud to be yours and for you to be mine, babe. I love you. ((He said, a breathy laugh escaping him as he wiped his own cheeks with his fingertips.)) Fuck, babe, it felt good saying that.

Adeline: I got help for my mental health, the sober bit is just a side effect of such.
Adeline: Not that I can think of. But I'll let you know if that changes.
Ivan: You did? Wow, I'm so proud of you, Deli. What did they do upon your release? Medications or therapy? Did it help you at all?
Ivan: Alright, you just let me know. I've got you, Deli.

Call 📲 Olivan
Ollie: *absentmindedly scratches his thigh when he has an itch, tugging at the bottoms of his boxer briefs so they cover his thighs more. He feels comfortable being stripped down for the other to see since the nights they shared in the hot tub together with no clothes on at all. He listens to Ivan, feeling calmer hearing his voice. He keeps on a warm smile while the other plays the song. He gives him applause again before the next one starts. He feels his heart flutter hearing the words ‘I love you’ come from Ivan, even though he knows they’re only song lyrics. It still warms his heart that his boyfriend is playing him music to cheer him up. He gets a little misty eyed and grins at him*
Ivan: ((Smiling to Ollie as he saw him scratching and getting comfy, Ivan nipped his bottom lip before continuing the song. The thoughts were pretty intense, the sexy thoughts and the emotional since he was realizing how strong his feelings for Ollie were. So, he picked the song on purpose to see if he could segue himself into saying it. And it seemed to work.)) I love you, Oliver. ((He said simply, his hands down in his lap as he gave a nervous smile to him. He had never said to anyone besides Wilson so he was visibly shaking and nervous.))
Text || Gray & Ivan
Gray: I'm sorry... There is going to be a party.
Gray: We were out there.
Ivan: It's alright, Gray. You're my little brother and I'm just wanting to be there for your big day. I'll definitely be there at the party if you'd like! I can even sing for you guys again like the day you introduced me to Jax.
Ivan: Wait, you were out here? Why didn't you call me? I would've taken you guys out to do dinner or done something small. Or...was I on set when you did it?
Call 📲 Olivan
Ollie: *sets a few more things out of his suitcase to put away, but leaves the clothes in there since he is too tired to put them in the wash. He climbs back into bed after he takes his phone off the night table. He holds onto Ginger with his free arm and watches Ivan. It doesn’t even cross his mind that his current choice of outfit might be driving his boyfriend a little crazy. He just feels comfortable. He smiles when Ivan starts to play Man in the Mirror* My favorite.... *he hums softly along*
Ivan: ((Sure, Ivan would love to just tell Ollie how sexy he thought he was, but he kept it quiet, knowing he'd let his own thoughts run wild once Ollie was off the phone and sleeping. For Ivan, Ollie's sexuality wasn't a challenge, it was just another aspect of Ollie that he respected and loved. So, to be respectful, he kept his dirty thoughts to himself. Finishing off the song after a moment, he smiled and thought of another song.)) I've got one for you that'll make you happy... ((He said, biting down on his bottom lip before starting to play '1,2,3,4' by Plain White T's.)) One, two, one, two, three, four... Give me more lovin' than I've ever had. Make it all better when I'm feelin' sad. Tell me that I'm special even when I know I'm not. Make me feel good when I hurt so bad. Barely gettin' mad, I'm so glad I found you. I love being around you. You make it easy, it's easy as one, two, one, two, three, four. There's only one thing, two do, three words four you. I love you. I love you... There's only one way, two say, those three words. And that's what I'll do. I love you. I love you...
Text || Gray & Ivan
Gray: I said don't be mad. It wasn't planned, it just happened, Jax and I were talking about how we wanted to get married and we picked Saturday and the only persons that knew were Jax's mom and Calvin...
Gray: No we did it quick in a courthouse.
Ivan: I'm not mad. I'm jealous. I wanted to be there to celebrate it with you.
Ivan: Where were you guys when you got married? Back home or out here?
Call 📲 Olivan
Ollie: *chuckles softly again to his boyfriend and grins. He leans over to give each of his dogs that are now all on the bed with him a kiss before he stands. He sets his phone propped against his lamp on the night stand so Ivan can still see him. He hums in thought while he bends down to dig into his suitcase. He grabs one of Ivan’s sweatshirts out of there to put on. First he removes his shirt, tossing it aside. He also pulls his sweatpants down and steps out of them, slipping the sweatshirt on after. He decides not to put on a pair of pajama pants, so he doesn’t get hot. He then looks into his suitcase and pulls out a few items, like his bag of toiletries and hair products. He places them on the nightstand to bring into the bathroom, then stops when he remembers Ivan is still on the phone* Sorry... gah, my scatter brain. Um.... do some Michael Jackson.
Ivan: ((He was used to the sight already, watching Ollie do what he needed to do when he got home. He was also to the fact that Ollie's ADHD would sort of kick in when he was tired.)) No need to apologize. I'll play you 'Man In The Mirror'. How's that? ((He asked, starting to play it on the piano before getting distracted by the fact that Ollie wasn't wearing pants and wearing his shirt. Sure, they weren't sexual in their relationship but it was a damned nice sight for Ivan to witness. To keep himself in line, he started to sing the song that Ollie liked.))
Call 📲 Olivan
Ollie: *giggles when Ivan starts to dance, shaking his head fondly while he watches him. He sniffs and rubs under his nose, a grin staying on his face. He waits for him to finish before he claps for him. Wolf tilts his head back and howls, which causes Ollie to let out a surprised laugh. He covers his mouth and squeaks*
Ivan: ((After finishing the song, he smiled to Ollie before playing a soft melody with his fingers that wasn't anything particular.)) Got any requests, babe? I'm in the mood to bother my neighbors.
Text: How's my favorite newly-engaged couple?
Text: Actually it’s your favorite newly-married couple… Don’t be mad.

Gray: Actually it’s your favorite newly-married couple… Don’t be mad.
Ivan: Um...what in the shit, Gray?! I thought I was going to your wedding! I thought I was going to be a groomsman!
Ivan: Did you guys do an elope in Vegas without telling me?
Call 📲 Olivan
Ollie: *nods before giving a shrug, wiping under the frames of his glasses* I know, I know.... I just feel bad you’ve been seeing me cry so much. I just get overwhelmed and I don’t know how to stop it. *He watches Ivan sit and start to play the song, covering his mouth as he smiles. He lets out a squeaky giggle and hugs Wolf close*
Ivan: ((He continued to play, singing the song and starting to dance in his spot while he played the song for his boyfriend.)) My love is alive, way down in my heart. Although we are miles apart, if you ever need a helping hand I'll be there on the double just as fast as I can. Don't you know that there ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough to keep me from getting to you babe...
Call 📲 Olivan
Ollie: *sniffs before he goes to press accept on the request* Okay.... but I look all puffy.... *He gives a sad wave once he’s on the camera and he leans into Wolf who had jumped on the bed to comfort him. He scratches behind his ears and nuzzles against him as the dog licks his cheek*
Ivan: ((Seeing Ollie, Ivan smiled at him warmly before waving back gently.)) Hey, since when do I ever care about puffiness or anything? I look the same when I've been dealing with my depression. ((Slowly getting up with the phone, he made his way to the music room that was in his penthouse in L.A.. Sitting at the piano, he set up his phone so Ollie could watch him and started to play Ain't No Mountain High Enough before singing along.)) Listen baby, ain't no mountain high, ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough baby. If you need me call me no matter where you are, no matter how far don't worry baby. Just call my name I'll be there in a hurry. You don't have to worry 'cause baby there ain't no mountain high enough. Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough to keep me from getting to you babe!
Call 📲 Olivan
Ollie: *listens to Ivan and a tearful smile spreads on his face before he sniffs* I-I know.... I know you are. I love you....
Ivan: ((Getting an idea from Ollie saying he loved him, Ivan smiled a bit before sending a video call to Ollie.)) Go ahead and turn it on. I've got an idea to help you.
