TEXT ✨ BETCY

Chauncy: I don't know what's worse, that I got yet another pair of socks from my father this year, or that they were completely designless and thus meaningless in the grand scheme of the universe. Can we please rent some AirBnb and celebrate away from the grownups for New Year's? You, me, and the rest of the castle kids. We can even bring Popcorn Boy if he's out of the doghoes by then.

NATALIE: So, question, if you don’t mind my asking.

NATALIE: How soon until the divorce is final?

NATALIE: And do you need drinks to celebrate or to drown your sorrows?

TEXT 💌 BETCY

Chauncy: Is now a good time to talk, cher? I have a few things regarding our previous encounter that I'd like to discuss, but if it's a bad time, we can try again later.

Beth: Right now’s great with me. What’s up, Buttercup?

Chauncy: Fantastique. I just wanted to touch base about something you said during. I apologize for being blunt, but do you recall dropping the love bomb?

Beth: No????? I don’t remember saying it at all?? I don’t really remember saying like anything during it? ALSO CAN WE STOP CALLING IT THE LOVE BOMB?

Chauncy: You don't? Because I definitely heard you say it and I envy your ability to forget about it because it's been playing in my head since. And yes, of course we can stop calling it that. I'm mostly wondering about why that came out of you at all, but if you don't remember it, I'm not sure what all can be gleaned from this.

Beth: No! But I literally say I love you like all the time and I’m sure I’ve said it several times since we’ve slept together? So if it came out while we were doing it, it was probably just a reflex or something because it’s you.

Chauncy: I know it's not a new phrase for us, but I don't know, it felt new, possibly because of the very new setting. Or maybe because no one has ever said that to me during. But either way, it was confusing. Do you think you have any control over what you say during?

Beth: I have control over what I say during! I’m not like…dickmatized into just saying whatever. I just wasn’t paying attention since it’s just you, I guess. I’m sorry about being confusing though! I’ll keep that out of my mouth from now on 🤐 unless it was WAY too much and you want to just stop?

Chauncy: Okay, well, way to take my ego down a peg 😋 I absolutely 100% do NOT want to stop this. I almost didn't message you about this at all just in case you thought I was complaining or wanting to end things in any way, actually. I just thought saying "I love you" might be on the same level of kissing during and we have that one outlawed for a reason, you know? Why? Do YOU want to stop? Because if you were hoping to be dickmatized (a truly horrible phrase, by the way) and haven't been able to be distracted from the fact that its "just me", I would recommend giving me another shot or two before deciding, but I'd understand.

Beth: Did you not know that’s already my mission in life? 😘 But yeah, you’re completely correct. “I love you” is absolutely on the same level of kissing and it’s entirely on me for not thinking of it when we came up with our rules. I 100% don’t want to stop either. At no point was I under any impression that you would be capable of dickmatizing (I know but I can’t think of a better way to put it) me into that kind of distraction, but I don’t mind that it’s just you lol?

Chauncy: Yes, but bringing it into the bedroom is a new level of below the belt, literally 🤨 Okay, good to have that settled! Although if you ever change your mind on the kissing front, I'm very open to that discussion. Good, because this is already one of the best arrangements I've ever had and if it weren't suspicious, I'd suggest we go on a vacation for two, but alas. You didn't think I could dickmatize you? You do realize that your saying that only makes me want to prove you wrong, yes?

Beth: I think you’ll live! 🤔 Same. I doubt I’ll change my mind on that, especially after this conversation but I’ll keep in mind that you’re open to the discussion. How many fwb arrangements HAVE you had btw? Is it really suspicious? I think TPotts and Lark would understand if we did something without them after she brought DRUGS to the AirBNB. Nope! You’re a very skilled sex friend but I wouldn’t say you’re dickmatizing level skilled. I’m aware 🙂

Chauncy: You're probably right, I'm very tough, you know 🏋🏽‍♂️ This conversation wasn't that bad, was it? Being intimate with each other is about more than being naked together, after all, it's about having the talks that we need to have. I haven't had THAT many, but I mostly meant I'm not surprised this is already so great with you. Everything's great with you. I'm sure Lark still doesn't think drugs were that bad of a move, and Timothee was begging for attention like a dog with scraps like he always does, but if you think they would understand? I'd love to have a getaway, and not just because multiple days of having you all to myself will give me all the time I need to dickmatize you to hell and back 😇

Beth: You’re. Very. Tough. That’s definitely something I know about you. 🤥 No, not at all! It was a very good conversation that just reminded me to be more careful with this. I’m not surprised either though! We really make such an excellent team, it’s kind of nice to know our amazing partnership extends to more physical activities. I’m sure she doesn’t either but it’s not like we’d really have to tell them that we’re leaving them behind? They could just…figure it out for themselves? Have I ever told you that I really admire how highly you think of yourself, Chauncy? It’s truly inspirational.

Chauncy: What else do you know about me? 😇 You know, I actually didn't mind it but I know we had a ban on ambiguously emotional tidbits is all; all I know is that whatever helps us keep this going as seamlessly as possible is what I want to do. it is nice to know, I always thought we'd be good at this sort of thing together, and I love being right. Mademoiselle Bellefeuille, are you suggesting we ditch our friends without letting them know? Have I told you recently that I love the way you think? And I know you're just being facetious but you could stand to tell me that more often 😏 but of course, you can also hold back on the compliments until after the Dickmatization, because you're going to have a lot of them.

Beth: I know that you’re an idiot? 🤗 You said “I envy your ability to forget about it since it’s been playing in my head since.” it sounds like you minded it quite a bit? You always thought we’d be good at sleeping with each other? How often did you think about it before now? Perhaps…You don’t have an issue with it, do you, Monsieur Toc? You haven’t, but you could stand tell that more often as well! 😋 Will I though? Will I really?

Chauncy: Do you know that you've just broken my heart? 😟 I didn't say I minded it, just that I hadn't been able to stop thinking about it; it had gotten very distracting is all, having that on a loop in my head. I don't want to sound like a pervert so I plead the fifth on that one. I have no issues with sneaking off on our own, absolutely none whatsoever 😘 Showing is more effective than telling, in my experience.

Beth: I did not know that! But I suspect you’ll live regardless. 🧐 That sounds exactly like you minded it, but alright. I think we’re well past the point in our friendship where sounding like a pervert isn’t really much of a problem. Fantastic! Where should we go then? Same here, so I guess I’ll just have to wait and see if you’re actually capable of dickmatization. I kind of want to bet on it but how would we even know?

Chauncy: I'm not sure that I will, actually. I'll start penning my last will and testament just in case. What would you like to be left, cher? ✍ I minded it only in the sense that it completely took over my mind, but alright. And you say that but if you knew how often I've thought of you in that way, it might change your mind. I don't know; we could go anywhere really, I don't exactly plan on letting you leave the bedroom if I can help it, so the locale doesn't much matter to me. Do you have any preferences? Why bet on it? Why not just lay back and enjoy it?

Beth: Well then, if you’re that easy to get rid of, I call dibs on all of your things. Except your pants and underwear because I can’t think of how I’d be able to use them or your socks because I’m still traumatized bu the implication that you’ve done unspeakable things to them. Why did it take over your mind if you didn’t mind it then? I didn’t mind it to the point that I don’t even recall saying it. Perhaps but now I’m curious! How often have you thought of me sexually!? Considering I wasn’t exactly planning on trying to leave the bedroom, I don’t have any preferences either. So we really could just get a hotel room somewhere and have at it for a few days. Because I like to win and I like holding said wins over your head? But I guess just laying back and enjoying it would be pretty do-able too.

Chauncy: Oh, you won't be rid of me per se, my ghost will of course choose to stay with you for all of eternity. I can't believe that after all the things our bodies have been through together, the thought of me masturbating with socks (which isn't a unique experience to me, by the by) causes you such turmoil. I don't know, like I said before, no one has ever said that to me during sex before, and your voice sounded so pretty saying it; you know how drawn I am to the beautiful moments of life, I guess my brain just took a snapshot of it and displayed it prominently in the gallery of my memories. You not remembering makes sense, since I'm sure you've said that loads of times in the act before. I've thought of you in that way a lot, I don't know how to quantify it! I'm around you quite often and you're probably the most beautiful person I've ever seen in real life, it comes up! I know a few bed and breakfasts that have some luxurious beds and gorgeous vintage vibes, maybe we could go somewhere like that? If you figure out a way to bet on it, let me know and I happily will. I'm not concerned about whether or not I'll be able to deliver.

Beth: Your ghost would chose to hang around what killed you? How sad. For you. Because they’re socks! I know you’re not the only man in the world to have ever done it, but you’re you and I expect you to be better than a sock shagger! Oh okay. Anyway, a bed and breakfast would be so adorable and such a great way to end winter vacation! Pick your fave and we can go as soon as possible. I’m still brainstorming but I’ll get back to you on that.

Chauncy: Only if what killed me was you. Or the Louvre, somehow. Under either of those circumstances, it wouldn't be sad to haunt my killer one bit -- it might be a bit sad for you though, since I'd be sure to make your life just a tad bit inconvenient where I could, just so you couldn't forget me, obviously 😇 I've been inside far more human beings than I have socks if that's any comfort? Fantastique! I have a list of bed and breakfasts I've been dying to shag in but right off the top of my head, I know this one that has a geodesic dome ceiling so that we can gaze up at the never-ending cosmos as we fuck each other senseless. It also offers a hearty breakfast which we will most certainly need.

Beth: I think if you haunted me and did nothing but make my life more inconvenient, that would be an absolute terrible way to make me remember you, considering the fact that in life you only ever seem to make my life just a tad bit better. 🥺 I have no idea how many human beings you’ve been inside, so not really. A geodesic dome ceiling sounds like a huge security risk, so maybe save that one for the next fwb? What else is on the list?

Chauncy: Ah but see, it would make you miss the way things used to be, and make Alive Chauncy seem like an even better version of myself by comparison. Of course, I'd rather live by your side than float around dead at your side, so the choice is yours 😊 Well, I don't think I've known a sock intimately since I started having sex with humans, and that has got to count for something. A security risk how? Do you think people are going to fly drones up overhead? Or spy from helicopters? But okay, another dream location is this one in New Orleans. Its dubbed the most colorful bed and breakfast in the world and has a breakfast buffet to die for.

Beth: Or it will annoy me so much that I eventually get my favorite person in the world exorcised and I’ll feel nothing but sweet relief at his absence. But I prefer you next to me instead of the sweet hereafter as well, so I suppose you’ll be allowed to live. 😒 It does not. You’ve still known a sock intimately. I don’t know! I just think a princess probably shouldn’t have a ridiculous amount of sex directly under a giant window unless she WANTS to join the ranks of Tatiana and Silvester! I love New Orleans and that sounds cute, so let’s do that one.

Chauncy: Thank you, my princess, for your blessed allowance to continue living alongside you, for it is sweeter than any heaven could ever be 💕 what's the difference between knowing a sock intimately and a sex toy intimately? You're being awfully judgemental for someone I've gotten off many times by now, you know. It's not a giant window, it's a dome, it's tall! I'd hate for us to have a sex tape (a leaked one, anyway) and I'm excited for the New Orleans one as well so let's do it! I'll place a reservation now.

Beth: You’re so very welcome! I know!😌 The difference is one is a sock and one is a sex toy, obviously? Sex toys are made FOR that purpose, socks are made for feet! Oh do you owe all your sexual prowess to the socks? My mistake! A clear dome! People get sex tapes leaked via drones! Remember the Ariel and Eric pictures!!? (We’re not making any kind of sex tape.) Okay wonderful!

Chauncy: 🙄 Some people use feet for sex, you know, and others would say that a sex toy is anything you use for the purposes of finishing. But I'll drop it for now, since having written proof that you think I have sexual prowess is more interesting than arguing what ought and ought not to be used intimately. How could I forget? That was a cultural reset. (I'm guessing artistic nudes are out of the question too, then?) Fantastique!

Beth: If this is your way of informing me that you have a foot fetish, don’t. And I would say that a sex toy is literally a sex toy and not something repurposed for sex because it doesn’t change the item’s original intent. Is it really that interesting? Obviously I think you have sexual prowess, you’ve gotten me off more times than I’m willing to attempt to count. It was not a cultural reset, it was probably so humiliating for their family! (Maybe not, but only if you don’t include my face)

Chauncy: Don't worry, I don't; feet actually gross me out and I only brought it up for the sake of argument. Good to know your definition of that; on that note, are there any sex toys you'd like to incorporate into our time together? This getaway would be a good time to pull something out, especially since we don't have to be as quiet as we had to be during the trip with the other two. And a man will never tire of hearing that he's good in bed, or at least, I never will. They handled the situation with class. (Your face is my favorite face in the entire world but I can certainly agree to those terms. Your body is so beautiful, I'd be honored.)

Beth: GOOD!!! Uhhh I don’t really know anything about sex toys so I don’t uh know? Like I think if there was ever a time to finally see what the big deal is, it would definitely be this getaway but I don’t know what would be like..helpful with you? Of course you won’t but I do worry how many times I could tell you something like that without your head eventually expanding to the point that you can no longer walk though doorways. They did but still! (You can look at my face as much as you want in person or in pictures where I’m fully clothes. But thank you 😊)

Chauncy: Really, you don't? I don't know why that surprises me so much but it really does. I don't think we NEED anything other than each other but I figured I'd ask. The doorways in the castle are wide, at least, so that isn't too big a concern for me. I understand; nothing like the scandal that happened to Queen Ariel and King Eric will ever happen to us, I promise. (Don't think I won't. No, thank YOU. I'm more excited at the prospect of artful nudes than any art project has made me for a hot minute.
