TEXTING MEME
You’ve got your TFLN, you’ve got your sexting, now here’s the meme for all those gen texts, phone calls, voicemails, pictures of your cats, and whatever else your little heart can come up with, because who doesn't like a little old fashioned friendly texting. (Or enemy texting, if that's more your bag.)

instructions: What it says on the tin! Leave a comment with your character, include preferences, a start, absolutely nothing or whatever you want. Run around and reply to others. Lather, rinse, repeat.

We can take time. I'm okay with taking time.
I mean, we haven't even labelled this just between us yet - also not a pressure to do so. There's no rush. I just need to be clear that I won't pretend I'm in a not in a relationship if I am, for the long term. When you're ready. When we're ready.
I just... I can't be a secret. And I'd never want that for my partner either.

I'm surprised she kept her big mouth shut about it.
You know she gets Mel to send her messages for her sometimes?
Oh, I have no doubt. She will absolutely try and screw me.
But for now, I can visit without it being a hassle.
Makes things a little easier for us too.

I'm not looking to pretend anything, Joaquin. Everything is just so damn complicated around here. You have no idea.
Do you even want to be in a relationship? I don't know.
You were very explicit about the rest of the team.

Mel does a lot of things for her, so I'm hardly surprised she keeps her mouth shut about anything.
I just don't want you to pay for it. I really don't.
I feel like I'm constantly having to keep her at bay and the rest of the team doesn't make it easy.

Bucky, I know. I'm not saying you do wanna pretend. And I'm not tryna rush you into anything or whatever. I mean it when I say there's no pressure.
I mean, maybe, yeah. With you. We're still getting to know each other and feeling this out.
I shouldn't have said anything. I'm making you feel pressured.

Also, regarding the team, they're all really attractive and I'm open to fooling around but I'm also not about to just jump into bed with them.
Especially not at the moment.

I got this.
Just trust me, please?

No, it's fine. You're not rushing me. You're not doing anything.
But I also don't want to hold you back.
Things were intense and complicated and I'm not gonna hold you to any of it if that's not how you want it to be.

You're open to fooling around with the team. I mean, that's really all I need to know.
You should do that if you want to. They are all really attractive. You should go for it.

Fine.

You're not holding me back.
If sleeping around with the team was a priority, I wouldn't have pursued you, knowing that that is not something you want for yourself.
But I did. This is me, choosing to see if this can go somewhere. With you.

If me being attracted to people without even acting on that attraction is going to be a deal breaker for you then I need to know.
But don't tell me because you think I should have the freedom to fool around.
Because I don't need that. Being with one person is not taking that freedom, it's me choosing ONE person.
I need you to tell me because it makes YOU uncomfortable knowing that.
And I will stop this.
Right now.

As far as the stuff with Val, I will be careful and I will keep you in the loop.

I don't know what I want for myself. All I know is that if I didn't go there that night, who knows what would have happened. Maybe it wouldn't have been me. Maybe it would have been someone else during movie night.

You can be attracted to whoever you want to be. You can also go on and on about fooling around with whoever you want to as well. If that's what you want, go for it. If you don't want me to tell you that it's because you have the freedom to fool around, then maybe it's your dealbreaker. You don't need that.

I shouldn't be doing this.
This is exactly why I kept stressing that I absolutely shouldn't be doing this.
It's not gonna work out with me. Not ever.

Do you know what I was going to do that night?
I was intending to drink as much tequila as I possibly could so that I couldn't remember how upset I was over the fact that I had upset you.

No one else was going to be invited.
I was going to wallow in my own self misery because I had upset you.
And then you showed up at my door and all I could think about was not making it worse. And then you kissed me. And it... it meant something, okay?

I'm not picking them, Bucky!
I'm picking you!
I want you!

But if you need to call this off, fine.

...

It meant something to me too.

I'm sorry.

I'm just trying to do the right thing here. And failing.

You don't want to call it off?

No! I really don't. God, I wanna get to know you. I wanna teach you to cook. I want you to tell me about... whatever you wanna share with me. I wanna sit with you on the couch and watch movies. I wanna kiss you and hold your hand. I wanna see if this can be something.

And you're not failing.
You're just learning how to let yourself have what you want.
Even if that is apparently a dumbass who keeps putting his foot in his mouth and thinks you're really hot.

You're not a dumbass.
The dumbass is me.

I'm sorry.

Maybe we're both kinda dumbasses sometimes.
But I'd rather be a dumbass that gets to kiss you than a dumbass who doesn't.

I meant what I said.
I don't want them.
I just want you.

I'm ok with being that kinda dumbass, if it means getting to be with you.

I want you too.
I really do.
If you want to tell them, I'm ok with that.

Yeah?
Good.
Cause I really like you.
(That means more than a friend in this context)

We don't have to tell them right away.
Just... when we're ready.

I like you too.
Just you.

I wanna do what you wanna do.
We can figure this out together.
If you want to.

🩵
I like just you too.

I like the idea of it being just ours for a little bit.
But yeah, I wanna figure this out with you.

Ok.
Then I guess we're finally on the same page.

I do too.
But I'm not hiding. That;s not what this is.
I promise.

Thank goodness.
I'm sorry I kept talking about the team.

I know you're not.

I get it.
They're a good team.
I just don't want you fooling around with them.

It's ours, I want it to be ours.

I promise, no fooling around.
Just friends with them.
Only person I wanna fool around with is you.

Yeah, me too.

I like that you're friends with them, I really do.
Also, maybe- can we call it something else other than fooling around?
Maybe just being together?

Ok. Good.
Thanks, Joaquin.

It'll definitely make things easier.
Because I don't need to sneak around if I'm friends with them.
Oh, yeah, of course.

You don't need to thank me.
We do this together.

Yeah, no sneaking. Although, they do a lot of sneaking too, so it would be fine.
Okay... good. The other thing sounds so- impersonal.

Together is good.

Different kind of sneaking.
That’s spy stuff.
Yeah, I get it. 🩵

👬

Oh, no. Definitely not just spy stuff.
Though now I'm definitely gonna be more careful around Mel.

What is that?

Wait, what about Mel?

It’s to men holding hands.
