Upon returning home, Eli finds himself alone in his new place. Jay has gone off to visit with Chase for a week or so while he was out of town, and Seth has yet to decide on whether or not he wants to make the move or not. It is a big change after all, so he doesn’t blame him one bit.

Though.. after having been away, he wouldn’t mind seeing him for a little bit this evening. Even if it’s just something like staying in and watching tv together or going out for dinner, it’d be a good way to unwind after travelling back home. Eli picks up his phone and pulls up his texting history with Seth, sending him a quick question.

[ Text ] [ To: Seth ] ‘Hey, uh.. you wanna do something tonight?’

▤ = falling asleep on them . 

“Pff.. couldn’t hold out for another hour, could you?” Eli quietly asks the yellow inkling finally drifts off to sleep. He doesn’t expect the answer from the sleepy squid, but he still asks regardless. They had planned on finally catching up with their favourite show tonight, but Seth always seem prone to falling asleep while watching anything.

“That’s fine. We can always watch it another time~,” he says, grabbing the remote and switching the tv off. Eli nuzzles against Seth softly, closing his eyes and joining him in sleep shortly after.

"Eli..? What's wrong?"

“Don’t act like nothing happened- you know what’s wrong. I.. I don’t even know if I want to be t-talking to you right now…”

"I CAN'T BELIEVE SETH IS FUCKING DEAD, HEHEHE..."

“No… N-No…! Y-You’re lying–!”

Till Death Do Us Part

Eli heaves a heavy sigh as he lay on his bed, leg dangling idly off the side as he stares silently at the ceiling above. He has been been feeling rather lonely lately, as it has been a couple of days since he heard anything from Seth. It’s not like the yellow Inkling to not reply to his calls or texts.

Lifting his phone, he checks once more to see if he had perhaps missed a message. Nothing. Even if Seth is extremely busy, he usually manages to get at least a couple of texts in before bed every night, even if it was just a quick ‘I love you, good night’. Maybe he’s just.. overly busy this time? What.. what if Seth is mad at him..? Why would he ignore him like this? Even if he was mad, the other would never ignore him... Eli takes another deep breath and rubs his eyes, clearing them of the few tears that managed to fight their way out.

One more try. Just.. one last attempt to call, and if Seth doesn’t pick up this time, he’ll be making the trip out to his apartment right away. Eli opens his list of recent calls, staring at his partner’s name on the illuminated screen for a moment, unsure and a little hesitant to try again.. but he finally manages to hit the call button.

Riiiiing...

Riiiiing...

Riiiiing...

Riii-

The other end picks up. It’s quiet.

“S-Seth?” Eli questions softly, scared of what the other might have to say to him.. if anything at all. “Seth, what’s the matter? Why haven’t you been talking to me? Have you been busy? Are.. are you.. mad at me?”

“I know you guys are all excited for the re-opening of Urchin Underpass and the new weapons that Sheldon is releasing today- I’m super hyped for the Splatling Gun myself! But there’s one thing that’s more important happening today...

It’s Seth’s birthday!

He’s a whole 21 years old now!! Please go let him know how great he is, okay?!

He might seem grumpy on the outside, but he is really grateful for all of our friends!!”
