Time Away, Communication styles and Voice Notes

Masterlist

♫︎ Kiro:

If you hadn't voice noted in the past, then once you do, you find that doing so could be opening a can of worms. You guys can't seem to go back to just texting and calls.

When Kiro is energetic, and when he's away, him voice noting you will occur often when you're in work and he has some free time. (usually he takes it to explore the city and try local delicacies he's in when he's away, and sometimes it's when he's on the sofa and finds himself desiring your company in a way only your voice notes can provide - at least, when you're not able to physically snuggle beside him as he tells you about his day).

One of the first times, it's inspired by the need to tell you his experiences! He'd stopped by a food stall on his time outside of the film set, and he's suddenly bursting with energy about his new favourite discovery and - you're not there and he feels like he might explode if he doesn't tell you.

"Miss Chips, I have had the most amazing thing. We have got to try this together one day! It's like this pork bun, but this crispy dough outside, and it has this sweet dip which is pickled and is absolutely delicious -" *a sound of a mouthful being bitten and groaned at in delight* "-and the owner tried to give me one for free if I posted a photo endorsing the stall! I wish I could take it home so I can see how you look when you try it and see your little cheeks chow down like a chipmunk - I know you'd love it even more than me!

"And oh - did you hear that - someone's dog just ran away with their food!" *laughs* "At least mine is all safely tucked away, in my stomach! Oh - and there was this guy who was busking by the fountain. I wish I had been able to bring my violin because we could have played an amazing duet... But I left it back at the hotel... -But it's probably a good thing - Savin might've gotten mad, considering I'm meant to be hiding from the media, rather than attracting it. I wish you were here, Miss Chips. You'd love the blossom here. At least when I look at it, I can imagine you are right here beside me... Oh and one last thing, make sure you eat well! I know your project right now is tough, but keeping healthy is important! And make sure to sleep well too! Can you say hi to Cello and Applebox for me, I miss their cute little faces. And yours too!"

Basically a kid with a very zippy attention span, jumping from one topic to the next like an excited grasshopper. His zest for life and desire to communicate with you is so expressed by his messages and that love of the world he wants to share as the partner by your side. It's like grabbing the corners of a camera and stretching it to widen to his. Him sharing his experiences that has made him happy is like a passage to his inner world and love.

He always makes sure to express his chirpy reminders to take care of yourself, and how he'd place you in his little world when he's away - imagining of you being on the couch typing away at a proposal, and how you'd love to try all the sweetie freebies the hotel gives him and the snacks from caterers from the filming launch party - what he'd imagine you would wear - and how he'd match his outfit to yours and come striding in with you beside him. He loves to visualise you on the sofa as he gets in from filming, jumping up and bear-hugging him before he even walks a foot in the door. These small scenarios keeps him sane whilst he's away, and he finds it so beautiful when it happens in real life when he comes back and refinds home in your arms.

Most of his voice notes are extremely fast paced - and you love how he unmasks for you, because he feels so comfortable being himself, despite his exuberance! You've told him yourself, that the most joy you get from being around him, is when he is totally himself - and that's the way he can express his love. Talking to you as if you were there, because inside, he knows you will always be listening, whatever he wants to talk about.

𖠌 Victor:

Victor is hard to pin down, because he prefers phone calls to really find intimacy in connecting. He wouldn't waste time recording voice notes, because he's 1) a workaholic and 2) he prefers to be 'in the now' (ironically). He doesn't quite get how people can babble for so long on something that is recorded to be listened at a later date - why not do it over a phone call? Seems like a waste of time, otherwise.

If you did a voice note, he would find time to listen to them, but would most likely ignore speaking back and instead, opt for a simple, sarcasm-laced or blunt reply. If it's based on an interest of his, such as discussing classical music or a new pudding idea for Souvenir, he might be daring enough and record a short, few word sentence reply. However, it probably would end so abruptly it would almost take you off balance to see The Victor Lee reply to a voice note!

You would find it most likely a bit silly and embarrassing, and decide to call him instead.

"Now you decide to call me? What happened to your sudden interest in filling up your break time with your incessant rambling prerecorded messages that are five minutes long a piece? If you dedicated this much time to your new proposals, then I wouldn't have to worry so much about you I imagine your current ratings would be better. "

You deliberate hanging up on him, just because he was completely wrong and yet he still had the gall to tell you off -

And yet, you can't help but feel amused at his grumbling. It was like the knawing of Puddings's teeth on the cat post, sharp and grating but comforting that some behaviours never changed. And knowing it was Victor, through and through.

"So you really don't like Vivialdi that much?" you decide to ignore him, iriterating the sum of what he'd replied in his curt voice note.

*sigh* "No I don't," his voice is filled with an almost ire, rising at the end of a sentence like a child lecturing an adult, "And why did this come up as a subject topic?"

Your laugh is muffled by your hand - unwilling to let Victor hear - , and it's easy to feel the banter returning, "We did a feature on some composers and we got invited as guests to a concert as a thank you. I guess I'll just have to find someone else to take up the spare ticket... I guess maybe Kiro -"

"As your investor, it is good practice, let alone it is wise, to demonstrate to us a good sense in your marketing strategy and expanding influence -" he sucks in a berating-filled breath "and then not offering at least one ticket to them," he pauses, "are you trying to make it seem like you're a total moron?"

His voice is so sharply blunt it would have burnt, a tone so scathingly arrogant it would have left your ear in scratches - if you hadn't felt the tricky, yet bubbling joy in your chest. It was probably the first time you could dare to imagine that your intelligence wasn't soley insulted due to the fact of marketing strategy didn't align to pleasing investors and perceived besmirched impudence.

Oh, are you trying to maintain a purely professional interest there, Victor?

Trying to remain professional yourself, you aimed to calm your unsteady giggles, and let out a breath of contemplation

"So you're suggesting that I cordially invite my main investor to the concert to preserve postive working relations?" you voice is coyly innocent.

His voice is flat, "Well ascertained. I'll come and pick you up tonight. Make sure I receive your formal email invite."

You blink, "But how did you know the concert is tonight?"

There's an exasperated smile in his voice, "I'm the one who recommended your film company to begin with, idiot." he paused, voice becoming dry, "If you read your email properly, you'd see that we had a previous association with them. I've already been 'technically' invited."

The flip of Victor already knowing about the concert, and already having and invited tossed your perfect teasing plans in the air, left you fumbling.

The one thing you forget to ask is,

If Victor had already been invited, was it really necessary to be needing your only invite too?

Victor had a whole adgena of his own, of course, because a professional invite is the only way to justify him inviting her to his box.

☕︎ Lucien:

It always made his eyes crinkle when he sees a new voice note pop up on his screen, the curiosity of what exactly inspired you to go on a spiel about something during that part of the day was always a fascinating phenomenon

The voice notes could be as random as finding a beautiful glass figurene in a window, to the cloud that reminded you the shape of a beaker, to a whizzy article about something new in the science field you wanted him to explain.

Sometimes, his favourites, was just when you were about your evening routine, the sizzle of some beef in the background, and were simply telling him about your day - the little tired sighs and little gaps between topics and letting the silence hang - a simply personalised background for when he was alone and was waiting for the paperwork, and current experiment, to end. Like a cafe ambience video, but one made specifically for him.

Honestly, it gives him an odd sense of comfort in the middle of the night, your voice echoing in his night-lit apartment or when it rebounding slightly off the white tile walls of the lab, the glow of the screen as he glances as the little green bobble on the line of the recording, signalling that your voice was currently ongoing

"Oh I walked past our-that movie theatre of yours last night - I saw um it had the one with Audrey Hepurn in it. I even went in! It was called Roman... Roman - Roman something. Agh I can't remember. Oh yeah, guess what! ... It wasn't a half bad movie - heh -" your voice quickly catches, as if caught in a lie, "Not that I hadn't watched it all when I - uh - came to find you that time! But anyway, I loved it. You know that moment where she rides on the back of his bike - it was so beautiful. Did you know it was actually filmed in Rome - actually you probably did know that -" her laughter is soft, "It... Reminded me of you, actually... How he showed her a new world, and - ah! I'm rambling. I'm going to go - it's late where I am, so it's probably early for you. Lucien, make sure you sleep okay? It's not good for you to sleep so little! Also, go find a snack, you probably haven't had much all day. Oh right, I was hoping to make some cream puffs soon! I found this different recipe - a macha inspired one, it's currently trending online! I have no idea if it'll taste nice, but I'm sure it'll be an adventure. Anyway, I'm heading to bed. Make sure you sleep. Oh - I said that already. Goodnight!"

His chuckle is soft, his pale skin wanly lit by the glow of the phone, his pen scratching lightly against the report, the clock ever-creeping towards the dawn.

Your voice was like the patter of the rain he'd missed when he was in England, during that night of study and the assignment was due. It was the feeling of existing in the same world, even miles away, being absorbed in your world was fascinating.

There was also.. something innately comforting in listening to you. Something he could concentrate on, while the files in front of him consisted of simple admin duties he should really have an assistant complete.

It was the sunshine in the dark, a bubble of joy between the moving of the night's clouds against his dimly lit desk.

It made him want home, he want - you. Despite doing work he knew would help the current state of the world, despite everything else, his home never strayed far from your arms. A voice still paled (literally ha) to what was really you. The way you reacted to him, that was where the magic truly came alive.

His voice notes, on the other hand, would come in the manner during his journey to the lab in the morning. Occasionally his voice rustling in the sheets as he readied himself for bed, slow and modulated, each answer a poetry unto themselves. It would make you marvel at how beautiful his voice was, to make such silly topics of conversations of yours into discussions that felt real. He'd never make you out as dumb, even if your observations were perkily mundane, or wacky or just plain silly. Because you, you never made it boring, because it was quintessentially you - and, just like he didn't mean to, he couldn't seem to find it disinteresting.

The voice notes worked especially well sometimes, because of your odd schedules. Whilst it could never beat a face time as you spent the evening watching a movie together, or how a phone call to tell the news of his arrival home, but it kept the emptier space filled in the times of silence.

༄ Gavin

Gavin finds it harder to begin a voice note. It's much easier, he finds, to reply to yours. Voice notes you make are like a springboard to find the thoughts going through his mind at the time, by replying to you.

His urge to say "over" at the end is nearly impossible to overwrite at first, but he manages to do so. He loves you, but would hate to feel like you thought you were some sort of work message was obligated to answer.

Also, your teasing game had stepped up lately and he wasn't just going to let you win with that ammunition.

It's harder to keep weariness out of his tone when he's away on mission though (on the rare occasion when it's not a communication blackout).

You find it rather hard to send him voice messages when you know he's tired. But you two do have a conversation to work out what was the best way to stay in contact, and decide that he finds the voice notes reassuring, like a status update confirming that you were still maintaining health, but with the knowledge that it was you, and you were sending him things that made you happy. Pictures and silly captions were encouraged too.

It became more about the knowledge of your happiness inside your world that made him pleased, and relieved, to see them. Like a touch on the back of his hand, confirming your wellbeing, telling him you were okay.

He especially appreciated your voice notes when you were sleepy, it was the cutest thing to hear your yawn. Sometimes his chest ached with such longing all he wanted was to lie beside you, stroke your hair with your head on his chest. To look at you like you were his world..

You were.

He prefers calls or texts to connect, it's easier for him to commit to shorter, more instant dopamine-laced interactions when he's on the move. The times that he would voice note you with confidence is when he knows you're in bed, and he's there able to watch the stars from his vantage point. He's looking at them, describing what constellations are in the sky, and if they would be different from yours.

Any unique stars or moon phenomenons happening in Loveland that night, you'd be the first to know. He'd likely send you a text, maybe even the link to the astrology journal if he has time between sleeping and eating before rushing out of the door, he'd send it to you.

Sometimes if there was a local shrine or history to do with the town or city he's in, he'd tell you and even potentially make a plan to go there with you - if it's safe enough after his mission is completed. He's a do-er, through and through. Making plans and being around you feels the most authentic and best use of his time, rather than an online presence. If there was a way to send little notes in the air on the wind to you, that would be his idealised form of communication. Short, sweet but completely romantic. Also, it'd be nice to give you a note without causing you a heart attack like when it had been damaged or stained with blood.

Your voice notes to him when you're on the way to work often lament the fact you'd rather be on Sparky, an acute adrenaline rush before work just the kick-start you'd need to get your ideas pumping. Or it's the flower boutique you stopped by on the way to work, and you'd gotten you guys tickets for a basketball match in a few week's time, or that you'd gotten a compliment from a stranger about your bracelet. A natural, almost organic way of storytelling - light, uplifting and with a hint of normalcy.

Sometimes he wished he could tell you about his day, that information didn't have to be classified, but he keeps it locked in his chest. Whilst it helped to keep his work life separated from the purity of the influence of your life, he sometimes could only admire how candid you were with him. That you could say something and laugh, just like that, and even if you felt silly, know that your words were safe with him. It brings him back to the real world, grounds him in a distantly positive way. With your voice, he can almost find himself refreshed when he gets back to the mission at hand. Having a break and a dose of talk from you, were some of the key things that helped him investigate and keep himself motivated.

Basically, you're his tiny motivational speaker in disguise. >_<

Also, if Eli sees your voice notes, he might get daring one time and send one back if Gavin leaves his phone unattended.

"Hey," *whispers* "Eli here. Currently undetected by our Captain, but -"

"Give it back."

"**** - hey I didn't mean to -"

*recording deleted*

"Sorry about that, Eli was just going to go and clean the locker room. Since it's obviously clear he has nothing better to do than snoop on someone else's phone."

A little "Aww man." could be heard in the background as you can almost hear the loving smile in Gavin's voice, as he said

"I'll see you later tonight, I shouldn't be too late home. Have a good day - uh, bye."

Minor would not even dare touch Gavin's phone after hearing a chilling story about how the last guy who had touched Gavin's phone without permission, didn't come out of the STF compound without needing three showers first.

Eli was never heard from again sure he just survived the wrath of a polar bear.

Bonus -

☔︎ Shaw:

He would not have the attention span to listen to voice notes. And he'd also be absolutely clear about this.

"You think I have time to listen for seven minutes when you can summarise it in two?

"Honestly, if I have to attend another lecture I think I would fall asleep."

"Hey, I'm not being a jerk. I'll listen to you if you call, you know. Nothing can be that important it can't be said in person."

"Stop throwing stuff at me. I'm being honest."

You continue to pout, until he flicks you on the forehead and you roll your eyes

"Fine. I won't then."

"Don't say I didn't warn you when I don't respond."

"I just said I wouldn't!" you huff, and when you see his smirk you throw another cushion at him.

He definitely can be best at texting. Low energy commitment, and he can still tease you with no actual threat of punishment. He will prefer you being sassy back over on the phone, and will enjoy the banter that way more and still leave you stuttering with indignation. It cracks him up.

It's a "she's such an idiot I love her" feeling for most of his calls that he makes to you. He hates that he's slightly addicted to your angry squeaks, like a very silly, angry little hamster he loves to keep on poking.

You hate that you love him teasing and mocking like that, because it was him, capcrious and untamed, loud mouthed and full of an attitude that could worry the frown lines off a therapist.

Stupidly, and beautifully himself.

Soo... Short and sweet, right? 😂

I love these guys. They're adorable. Thanks for reading! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
