( @alwaysgcld ) elaine hasn’t slept that well lately-- but that night, she doesn’t sleep at all. she tosses and turns in bed, and she paces back and forth in her living room because she’s too nervous to go on one of her nightly walks at this point, and she goes to the shop connected to her house and just... sits on a stool, and stares at the wall.

it’s a lot, and she wants to at least have eight hours where she can shut her brain off. so she stands at the clinic’s front desk, arms crossed tightly, poorly hidden bags under her eyes. when dr.park-- ben-- appears, she nods at him, gaze not necessarily meeting his. “hello, um.” her voice is quiet, strained. her eyes shift to the counter, the ground, then finally up to him, lips pursed in what is supposed to be a smile. “i wanted to know if you, uh, happened to have any sleeping pills... melatonin, or... something like that.”

You have a text message from an unknown number

Sloane: Hey Ben, this is Sloane. I finally have a working number!

Sloane: I got back into town on Spirit's Eve and haven't seen you around the past few days. Everything okay?

[ to: dr. park | august 16th, 1:03am ] i don’t mean to act so awkward around you. i just dont know how to act around you at all. i see you and all i can think about is the summer and everything that happened, and it’s just so fucking hard.

[ to: dr. park | august 16th, 1:04am ] i don’t mean to, and it’s not fair to you, and i’m sorry. that’s all.

[ to: dr. park | august 16th, 8:20am ] hello, dr. park. i think i accidentally sent you some messages last night. i didn’t mean to, if you could please disregard them. my sincerest apologies, it won’t happen again.

@alwaysgcld for Ben Park post-avalanche

[ Feb 9th, 4:58 PM to Benny ] Hey Benny, how are you holding up? I know you weren’t like caught in the avalanche or anything, but I know you’re the type to get worried and you’ve probably also been helping people around the clock since everything was cleared from the mines. I wanted to make sure you were still taking care of you when you can.

[ Feb 9th, 4:59 PM to Benny ] So, uh, are you doing okay? Can I bring you by some tea or something? Is anyone around with food and everything? 

[ Feb 9th, 4:59 PM to Benny ] I also just wanted to say thanks for, you know, saving my life

☺, ☾, ✓

☺ - Do they prefer sour or sweet treats?

Yes. ❤️

☾- Are they prone to nightmares or dreamless sleep?

Matty always dreams, but he doesn’t usually remember what they’re about. He’s not usually prone to nightmares, though he’s had a fair few these past few months, since he started sleeping alone again.

✓ - How do they react to praise?

Like this: 🥺. He craves validation.

🍎 an apologetic text

(16/12/2020, 12:42pm) Matty ➝ Doc [UNSENT] hey doc i’m really sorry for worrying you i

(18/12/2020, 04:23pm) Matty ➝ Doc [UNSENT] doc!! sorry it’s taken me so long to

(21/12/2020, 10:57pm) Matty ➝ Doc [UNSENT] ARGH i know i should reply i am the worst

(21/01/2021, 11:11pm) Matty ➝ Doc [UNSENT] the reason i didn’t text you is because i’m a really bad liar. i didn’t want to message and tell you i’m okay because you’d know i’m not and then you’d worry. not that you aren’t already worried. it’s really nice of you to worry about me. i don’t really know what to do with that...

(25/12/2020, 08:20pm) Matty ➝ Doc [UNSENT] i’m coming home tomorrow. i’ll do a really good apology in person, you’ll see!!
