[...how do you even respond to this?

If you're John Egbert, you kind of want to burst into tears because the whole thing is extremely overwhelming, but you don't. You don't, because you're in a group of 29 people on a mission and it's been almost two weeks since you've seen your boyfriend and you start to grow more resentful of this fact every day. You think about the text you sent a friend. You think about the whole day you planned together and how it got ruined.

You wonder if he received the bouquet of red roses, red carnations and red snapdragons you were hoping would find there way to him. You worry about his safety and his wellbeing and you wish you could burn the world to get closer to him and be with him because you love him, you idiot, you're beginning to realize maybe you're in love with him whatever that means and that, too, is overwhelming.

Instead, a song is sent.]

can i call you?

[parodeity]

[ assuming chiyo got the flowers on dave probably did get them. did john coordinate with her, who knows?? dave kind of knows (has known) exactly what it is he feels about john but he's fine just letting it sit forever never quite fully spoken because he's...

an idiot.

either way he's locked away the wolf thing to Not Thing About in the pretend it never happened box of suppression, and today is...okay, maybe. completely bittersweet and a little lonely, but not bad. last year he went on an actual date on valentine's, and he'd never figured out if that was going to be a thing this year, but. ]

you had a stalker song prepped im impressed
but yeah
im available for phonecalls
i wont even charge you

[ ignore him he loves the music file. ]

[windeity]

[John definitely texted Chiyo and it's fine, this is all fine, but here they are.

He doesn't even respond via text, he just calls.]

It is not a stalker song, you douche. It is kind of romantic.

[parodeity]

What if I don't think it's romantic to have someone watchin' me when I sleep?? [ it's definitely fine ]

[windeity]

You're definitely making this worse than it is. And killing my romantic Valentine's Day spirit. How could you? [He's trying not to laugh.]

[parodeity]

...well, look at it this way: we didn't have any plans that got too ruined?

[windeity]

Speak for yourself. I definitely had plans for us that got totally ruined.

[parodeity]

[ a quiet pause. ] We were gonna go on a date?

[windeity]

...yeah. Did you really think I wouldn't do something for Valentine's Day? [The grin is almost audible.]

[parodeity]

You didn't mention anything? So I wasn't sure.

[ why didn't he ask. ]

[windeity]

...it was going to be a surprise and I was kind of hoping maybe we'd be back by then. It's nothing we can't do later but it still sucks.

[parodeity]

...so, um. Want me to sing for you or something?

[windeity]

Got something in mind?

[parodeity]

Your options or now or when we go back home.

[windeity]

Now, obviously.

[parodeity]

[ okay. he's quiet for a minute or two but have a song, john. ]

[windeity]

[He's silent through the whole thing, wishing he'd thought to say "home" instead and after a few moments he speaks.]

...I like listening to you more than I like listening to me.

[parodeity]

[ someday he'll learn patience is a virtue. ]

Back at you.

[windeity]

I miss you so much, you know that? Like insanely so.

[parodeity]

Like missing a limb.

[windeity]

How much longer do you think it'll be like this?

[parodeity]

Longer than two weeks.

[windeity]

Did you already skip ahead and see?

[parodeity]

...I miss you.

[ LIKE THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING ]

[windeity]

I miss you too. But that is definitely not an answer and now I am just going to assume it is.
