Text Meme

[memes4all]

That's it. Just text.

We have the TFLN, the misfired texts and the sexting, but what about just texts?

You want to text that person, for whatever reason. Because you need to ask something, because you forgot to tell them something, because you miss them. Because you are in danger, because you need to know where they are or simply because you want to share this fact or story that's hilarious and can't wait another minute to be shared.

Serious, romantic, scary, funny, you pick the reason. Just text!


The Rules:

1; Comment with your character's name and series on the subject line.

2; Other characters will reply to yours by sending them a text.

3; It can be anything, you decide! Group texts are also possible!

4; Profit!

[ Just... yeah. (Chores, sleeping, and all? Not that that's all there is to do.)

(Don't start.) ]

i can hear when it vibrates. [ Probably. ] it won't be a nap so much as sleeping, at this point.

i'll head over to the bed? you don't have to do anything.

[ Which is as much of an admission as anything. And yes, please don't sing, because carrying a tune doesn't seem to work with Derek. At all.

He's doing that, right now. So, he'll see how that goes.

And okay - he might end up closing it later on, but for now the demands have been met. ]

[durand]

[(Sure. You'll be with him, right? That's all that matters. All he looks forward to.)

(Fine, fine.)]

You have it on vibrate?

I know. But since you seem to have an aversion towards the words 'sleep' or 'sleeping' I'm trying to lure you in with the word 'nap'. Hopefully you'll have gotten at least seven hours from it, once you realize it wasn't a nap at all. [It's a flawless Master Plan.]

Just close your eyes when you do. That should be help enough.

[Can he start using singing as a threat?

Good.

And good as well. Great. Perfect.]

[ingoodcompany]

[ (It's been so long that being in the same building would be decisively better, to be honest. But yeah, it'll be good to spend those days (week?) in the same space.) ]

yes. it's close by, not like i'll miss something if it came in.

and haha. it's not THAT bad, really. i don't not sleep. [ Since that's pretty much impossible. ] seven hours is a lot.

[ Derek, Derek, no. Don't do it. That's mean? Or well, not mean, because it's just weirdly flat and tuneless, not painful and unbearable. But still.

Smiling. ]

really pushing your agenda, huh?

[durand]

[(Of course it will. Obviously, right? Just doing whatever, as long as they are together. Hopefully even more than a week. They deserve some time off, no?)]

But it's easier to lose in the confusion.

Are you trying to convince me or are you trying to convince yourself? [ :| Sorry, Stiles, he knows you.] Seven hours is nothing.

[Precisely why it might be good to use as a threat.

And smiling back.]

Someone needs to make sure that you're getting enough sleep. And that someone can't be you because you can't be trusted with it.

[ingoodcompany]

[ (He'll say a few days for sure. Anything else is up to scheduling, though they can always request leave.) ]

not as long as it's ringing.

[ And well, that's a good question. They both know his habits well enough that the text rings immediately false. So he's just protesting to protest. ] so much can happen in seven hours.

[ It's more of a distraction than a legitimate threat, to him, anyway. ]

i can take care of myself.

[ Can and do, are two different matters, of course.

He isn't frowning at his phone, nor is he pouting. ]

[durand]

[(Well, they know that he, at least, needs some low time. High risk job and all, others can go have a little fun too while he has some rest. Though if that doesn't happen... Maybe they could ask for a few more days? He misses being with you.)]

Isn't vibrate /and/ ringing a little extreme?

[At the same time, he means.]

Yeah. Things like sleep. Which is needed so you can actually function properly for the remaining seventeen hours that you will have to put up with until the day ends.

[Dang.]

I never said you couldn't.

[You are just not particularly efficient when it comes to prove it, as far as giving yourself enough rest is concerned.

And then, not even three seconds later:]

I already know you have the cutest pout, babe. No need to prove it.

[Of course you aren't.]

[ingoodcompany]

[ (At worst, he'll just ask for things that can be done away from the office, without having to go anywhere else.) ]

it lets me find my phone. [ So no, he doesn't think so. ]

you're not going to let this go, are you?

[ Sighing, so much sighing.

And that is true. But it works for him, so far. ]

i don't!

[ Narrowing his eyes at his phone, because ugh people who know him way too well. ]

[durand]

[(Sounds perfect to him. He can say that his back has been hurting some and maybe get a few extra days around, too. Short home vacation?)]

So you hear the ring, not just the vibration. [Because you mentioned it earlier? That you could hear the vibration? So he deduced there was no ringing since, well, ringing is much easier to hear?...

... You know what forgetting things is, Stiles? It's a sign of lack of sleeping.]

Not until you've slept, no.

[Sorry, buddy.

Doesn't work for Derek, though. You really do need rest.

And that... That just makes him smile rather fondly.]

Yes you do. Cutest glare, too.

[Don't you just hate him?]

[ingoodcompany]

[ (That will work. Yes.) ]

whatever helps me find it first. [ Not that just vibrating isn't loud. Plus the way things on top of it also shakes...

Yeah, definitely not going to let this go, though at least Derek isn't here to physically stop him from working.

And it can be, true. He just didn't mention the ringer, it doesn't mean he forgot it. Ahem. ]

i could just ignore you...

[ Or try. It wouldn't really work out.

:( ]

i don't think glaring can be considered cute.

[ You're exasperating. ]

[durand]

[(Perfect.)]

How is that ever not the ringing if it has both on? [It is, which is another reason why he can’t understand the usage of both. And they do?

He really isn’t, though, unfortunately, yeah. He has to trust you’ll listen?

And sure.]

I’d nag you until you gave up on ignoring.

[You know he has his ways.

♥]

That’s the rule, yes. You’re the exception. To me, anyway.

[But you like him?]

[ingoodcompany]

they work together. you can't miss them.

[ He wouldn't call it unfortunate. And yes, that would be something Derek has to do.

That's his story, and he's sticking with it. ]

if i can't ignore you, you know i'm not asleep, so maybe that's not as good a plan as you thought it was.

[ Yes, he does. And yes Derek does.

The next text takes longer to arrive, because he takes a couple of minutes to just stare at the screen before trying to summarize everything that text generated.

It's not enough. Not really. ]

OMG

[ Of course he does, like he would keep talking to Derek if he didn't.

♥ ]

[durand]

If you say so.

[You wouldn't call it unfortunate that he isn't there?

And hm.]

... Point.

[Damn. Well, time to say goodbye then, right?

And heh, that late reply only makes him smile more. Still fond, still warm.]

Sleep well, yeah?

[He likes you too. ♥]

[ingoodcompany]

it works.

[ Okay, that's unfortunate. But him not being there to stop him isn't.

See, he would totally love to keep texting back and forth forever, but... it probably is for the best that they call it a night.

There's always later, which for once is much more likely than most other times. ]

yeah, i'll try. do the same?

i'll talk to you when i can.

[ ♥ ]

[durand]

[He thinks that's unfortunate, too.

And yeah, definitely. He does want you to rest. There's always later, indeed.]

Sure.

Talk to you, then. Good night, Stiles.
