I DREAM OF PAINTING

Declan; Sometimes I make decent art. Sometimes I just make a mess.

[pewpewitslaser]

Same. How’s that cat of ours?

[onlydeclan]

Keeping me company. I like your cuddles better, though.

[pewpewitslaser]

The fourteenth. I think today’s the fifth so like nine more days.

[onlydeclan]

I can't wait!

[pewpewitslaser]

Yes sir.

[onlydeclan]

Do you have a date? How much longer?

[pewpewitslaser]

I’ll be home soon.

[onlydeclan]

Really?

[pewpewitslaser]

Get to it, Jaws.

[onlydeclan]

Aye aye captain.

[pewpewitslaser]

Were you not?

[onlydeclan]

I was, I totally was, I just...didn't think it'd move this quickly. I can sign papers, wow.

[trepidatious]

Well yeah. What are best friends for, right?

[onlydeclan]

Love you Ace

[pewpewitslaser]

So those adoption papers are somewhere on your desk.

[onlydeclan]

....you're serious?

[pewpewitslaser]

When you aren’t busy you should come visit.

[onlydeclan]

I'll talk to my boss tomorrow about my pto. 

[trepidatious]

You can blame Ethan for that but I’ll try to go cuddle with you more often, yeah?

[onlydeclan]

Really?

[trepidatious]

And here I was thinking that you were missing me.

[onlydeclan]

You don't cuddle with me when Laser's away on location.

[autumn-caverly-deactivated20141]

It’s only been five years, not that much. I’m good, thanks for asking. How’re you? Things with Laser going good?

[onlydeclan]

That's good! I'm great, we're great. He, uh, proposed.

[pewpewitslaser]

You can just sprawl out across the bed, and it’ll keep some of my spot warm. What’s the point? My clothes are covered in cat hair.

I’ll be here for another month or so. Turns out I got the main part.

[onlydeclan]

Still not really the same.

Oh. That's great, princess.

[autumn-caverly-deactivated20141]

We’re glad to have you back! I haven’t spoken to you in forever.

[onlydeclan]

Jeez, it has been ages, hasn't it? How have you been?

[pewpewitslaser]

Are you keeping the bed warm for me?

[onlydeclan]

No; bed's too big without you. Plus the cat sort of took over with both of us gone and there's fur everywhere and I'm too tired to change the sheets.

How much longer till you're back?

[trepidatious]

Of course you were. I must admit though, props to do that guy for making the journey with his sanity intact.

[onlydeclan]

Don't judge me, I missed my cat.

[trepidatious]

To be honest I’m surprised you survived because if I was in that traffic I’d probably just try to hit other people out of my way.

[onlydeclan]

I had to tip my cabbie extra to get him to take me all the way home, I kept complaining about the traffic.
