1. flip through here (if you want to)
2. pick/write out some texts from your character
3. toplevel with said texts
4. ?????
5. profit

also misfires and stuff are fun so you can do those too, etc etc, put any preferences you have for whether the characters know each other and all that in the subject line, i'm too scattered to be writing up memes rn. appropriate i guess

1. I would just like to say that I was the one who said that we should find scissors, when they were cutting your hair with a kitchen knife. I am responsible.

2. Star Wars means nothing to me. I know only the basics. Darth is Luke's father. R2 is short, C3 is gold. Yoda sings Rainbow Connection. The kinda stuff EVERYONE knows.

3. He said he doesn't "believe" in cuddling. Can you come get me?

4. you should probably call the Bronx Zoo in the morning to formally apologize

5. I didn't even know we were hiding from the cops, I was just playing with the cats. People kept telling me to be quiet the cops are here and I was like DID YOU SEE THIS CAT!?

6. Text him!

1. I think I have a problem with stealing random shit when I'm drunk.

2. I still feel bad for it, even though I technically only videotaped it and helped to distract the questioning neighbor

3. how soon in a friendship can you start calling them a motherfucker

4. Fuck the library it's too quiet and makes me uneasy. I feel like I'm so isolated I should take off my pants or something

5. I just sent him a message bearing my soul about how much he means to me as a friend and his first response is "are you drunk?" Shit like this is why I'm a bitch to everyone.

6. Text her!

1. Hey sorry if you felt me holding your hand in the middle of the night I was actually just checking you had a pulse

2. I'm eating cookie dough with a tongue depressor for lunch.

3. Well, I hope you're having fun. I'm just gonna lay here and wait for death - shouldn't be long now.

4. It's 7am. I'm sitting on the curb in last nights clothes with a nose bleed and no idea how to get home. Low moment I feel.

5. Text him!

FOR SHIRO

[woofdad]

[continuation]

Well

Yeah, but they're still teenagers, right?

[shiro2hero]

Yeah.

Point. But also...

Paladins.

[woofdad]

I mean

I guess



Is it alright if I ask what kids that age are doing in law enforcement?

[shiro2hero]

Right place, wrong time.

We ended up in the castle by accident. And... then there was a lot of magic and glowing incorporeal lions.

[woofdad]

Sounds like a hell of a day.

1/?

[shiro2hero]

Baby you have no idea.

[shiro2hero]

^baby

[shiro2hero]

^BABY

[shiro2hero]

^G R A N T

done

[shiro2hero]

SOMEONE MESSED WITH MY AUTOCORRECT I AM SO SORRY

[woofdad]

[Okay by the time that last message comes in Grant feels HALFWAY TO DEATH from embarrassment. And also laughing. He might just be sitting with his hand over his face by now, trying to suppress as much laughter as he can.]

Its

Okya

OKay

Shit sorry. It's okay was what that was supposed to say

[shiro2hero]

No

I'm sorry. For that.

[woofdad]

It's not like it was your fault. Just... teenagers doing teenager stuff

[shiro2hero]

With my phone.

[woofdad]

Well, yes, that. Definitely going to need to talk to them

[Totally not laughing over here, nope.]

[shiro2hero]

I'm already on my way.

because i just noticed what they put you in my contacts as

[woofdad]

oh no

Do I even want to know?

[shiro2hero]

I don't know.

on a scale of 1-10 how much do you feel like being embarrassed

[woofdad]

Let's say a 3, I guess.

Is that enough for me to get to find out?

[shiro2hero]

furry dad

that's

what it says

[woofdad]

Furry dad....



i mean i guess it could

be worse?

[shiro2hero]

it could just be FURRY

[woofdad]

Yeah, see, it could be WAY worse. amazing what a difference one word can make

[shiro2hero]

oh just give them time

once they realize i changed it back


its all over

[woofdad]

Oh, boy. You know I'm going to want updates, right? embarrassing or not.

[shiro2hero]

You're very very lucky that I love you.

[woofdad]

I know i am, i kind of can't believe it sometimes

[a joke but also not really]

[shiro2hero]

What?

No -- you

That wasn't supposed to be serious. I didn't mean



look I'M the lucky one if anything

[woofdad]

It should've been. it's true

No way. Honestly I'm still trying to figure out how i accidentally tricked you into dating me

[shiro2hero]

It's NOT true.

You're



I'm getting sappy here, so bear with me

But you're incredible. And not just because you care about me. But everything you do -- especially for Chip. You're the most considerate person I've ever met. Who still has the patience for someone in my line of work.

So there.

I love you. and IM the lucky one

[woofdad]

[Somehow, waiting for those messages is one of the most stressful things Grant has ever experienced - or it feels that way in the moment, at least. He's not sure what he's expecting, really, but-- but it's not that.

...He very nearly starts crying. It's probably a good thing Shiro isn't seeing him react to this in person.]

Thank you

I love you too


But i am lucky.

I've seen how you are with those kids - the ones you work with and Chip too, and

You're always thinking about other people, looking after them. you never gave up on Chip when they didn't like you at first

And i know you don't have much free time because of your work but you still manage to put up with me when I'm complaining about dumb customer bullshit and all this mundane stuff that doesn't even compare, and when i start crying over nothing or can't figure out how to say what i want but you still stick around



I love you so much

[shiro2hero]

[Grant -- no. This is exactly why they should be having this conversation in person. Because this feels like something they should say to each other's face. And not a text.]

[He may actually be tearing up himself a little.]

You uh

You think maybe this is one of those

''we should say this face to face'' things ?



but i dont mind the complaints
i really dont
they're it's actually nice to hear? After all the weird we deal with, customers are still terrible
i dont know if that makes any sense but I don't mind

I don't mind that, or crying or getting tongue-tied
chip is a good kid


they're lucky to have you, too

[woofdad]

We probably should, yeah
But here we are i guess


I guess that
makes sense

Thank you



I'm glad you don't mind the crying because guess what im doing now

[shiro2hero]

i can come over

do you want me to
come over ??

[woofdad]

No it's fine you don't
I mean you definitely can if you want to but you don't have to
I'm fine

[shiro2hero]

yes
you are fine <3




which means i uh
can drop by after work

[woofdad]

[holy shit shiro]

I

Okay

I'll see you then

[Now he's crying AND laughing. Just gonna set his phone down so he can put his face in his hands.]

[shiro2hero]

Ok
ok good yes

[woofdad]

Okay
I'll see you then


<3

[shiro2hero]
