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.)

Hey...so, I need a favor.

oh well that doesn’t sound ominous at all

what’s up?

It's not bad! I'm not asking you to hide a body.

[Because that's become more or less a normal thing.]

.Look...could you just go to the store and get me dark chocolate, ice cream and a frozen pizza, please?

[Not asking for much, Klaus. It's simple. SO. SIMPLE.]

in my defense knowing this family that was a real, valid concern on my part

and uhhh is there a reason why u can’t just do that urself??

[ listen, he is a BUSY MAN. very busy man. he has lots of... uh... things to do. like wait for his nails to dry. ]

True, though something like that is usually mentioned more casually? I think?

[ Klaus....why can't you just....be nice?

But fine, be prepared for information overload.]

Because I'm having horrible cramps as my body is having it's once a month fit. I can't get out of bed because of them, I feel like crying over nothing and I want comfort food.

And possibly a hug.

[ klaus has to make even the simplest of tasks feel like pulling teeth ]

ooooooooooooohh

it’s one of THOSE kinda favors. ok yea i guess i can do that

do u need any tampons or pads or whatever while im at it?

[Rey...doesn't know if she should feel a bit mortified, or if she should feel happy that Klaus is asking her this question.

Happy, she's going to go with happy.]

I'm fine on those--and I'll give you the money for the items...

...and if you could get another heating pad, I would appreciate it.

[ Two seconds later there's a follow up text: ]

Thank you, Klaus.

good cause I’m broke as shit lmao

and luthers gonna kick my ass if I ‘’’borrow’’’ any more money from him

awwwwwww yw

I'll transfer you the money, give me a few minutes.

[Klaus will get a little notification of money now available to him. $500. Was it overkill? Yes, but...he's doing her a huge favor.]

There, it's done. Should be enough for the items, delivering them and the short notice of it...

...and if you want to stay and eat ice cream with me, that's fine.

far be it from me to say no to ice cream! movie marathon?

[ klaus busies himself with picking out an outfit while he waits for the money transfer. when he gets the ping, he first takes a quick glance at it to see if it went through alright —- and then he freezes when he sees the amount.

jesus fucking christ.

The first though in his head was: Who in their right mind would trust him with that much money right now? Apparently his sister, that’s who. He doesn’t think the store has enough ice cream to use up that much money. He does, however, know exactly how much of a variety of drugs he could get with that. When was even the last time he had $500 that he didn’t immediately blow?

He can practically feel Ben’s intense ‘don’t even think about it’ stare on the back of his head. Ugh. ]

uhhhhhhhh hey I think u accidentally added an extra zero on that transfer

[ there, see? here’s him being a good brother! he doesn’t always have to be an asshole. ]

Movie marathon. Just nothing scary.

[She's trying to show that she's changed, and trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. Though, she thought she made it clear about the amount of money she gave him....should she break everything down? She could.

No, she won't.]

No, it wasn't an accident. Figured you could use it to buy things like groceries for yourself, or clothes if you wanted.

[See? Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. TRYING. SO. HARD.]

[ that was actually... really very touching. Klaus tried to pretend he’s deliberating between tops to avoid answering right away — even though the only one he could be pretending for was Ben. The unspoken trust that went along with that money... it was a lot to deal with. Which meant he was going to do his very, very best to not deal with it, just like any other emotionally stunted member of this family.

But there was no way to deny the warmth and fondness that bloomed in his chest. No matter how hard he tried. ]

oh well in that case don’t mind if I do!

I’ll let u think of the movies while I run to get the goodies

Okay. I'll try and think of movies for us to watch.

I think I have popcorn, but feel free to pick some up.

[She's going out on a limb for him, not that she would tell the rest of their siblings. They don't need to know, and she doesn't need a lecture from Luther or Diego on how much money she should be giving to Klaus...

But, fuck, she's really feeling lonely right now. She can't believe what she's about to ask next.]

Do you think we could...cuddle on the couch too?

oh i don't know about that, rey-rey, my going rate for cuddles is usually soooo much more than 500$$

i'm thinkin you're gonna have to really up the ante on this one. ur gonna have to bribe me.

ur gonna have to let me paint ur nails

[Rey has to read. Then re-read. Then RE-READ THAT TEXT.

WHAT.]

But...I don't have nail polish. I don't paint my nails.

[ Klaus is blissfully unaware of Rey's distress. He's busy heading out of the house, trying to figure out which store will have ice cream and heating pads that he can get to easily. ]

ok then i'll bring the polish and u can paint my nails!

i painted them like this dark navy-ish earlier but i'm really not feelin it. maybe i should go more bright and pizzazzy

[ A second passes, where Ben informs him that their suffering sister may, in fact, not be in the mood to paint his nails. ]

or u can watch me paint my nails if ur too crampy or whatevr. i'm thinking something with glitter?

[Klaus, when have you ever known Rey to paint her nails? Or get a manicure? Or even know what the hell happens with a manicure?

Rey is now getting a headache, because her body just wants to punish her further. She looks down at her phone and is relieved to see that Klaus will want her to paint his nails....or maybe not?]

As long as the glitter doesn't get everywhere then go for it--and not just one color glitter. Get...multi-glitter nail polish if they have it.

I'll try and make my way to my couch...should be there by the time you get here.

[There will be a mountain of pillows and blankets for comfort, just wait.]

[ If Klaus used the two brain cells he has left, he'd realize there was a reason why when he wanted a mani-pedi he went to Allison instead of his other sisters. ]

multi-glitter nail polish, coming right up!

you just get urself nice and comfy and I'll be there soon enough

[ There's a nice little corner store near Rey's apartment that seems to fit all his needs and more. He gets a few little things extra -- because hey why not? -- and makes his way to his sister's apartment. Thank god Ben remembered where it was, because Klaus was at least a little bit high last time he had been there and hadn't a clue where it was. ]

ding-a-ling!! almost there! can u make it to the door or should i pick the lock?

[Allison is the sister you go to for shopping, for mani-pedis. Vanya and Rey are the sisters you go to for...book recommendations, classical music concerts, foreign films, and museum crawls.

But wait, Rey thought that nail polish was for Klaus? It...it should be.

Fuck it, she doesn't care, she just wants to get to the couch with all her crap. ]

I've made it to the couch...it's my home now.

[ Get it? She can be funny sometimes.]

Don't pick the lock. Just knock on the door and I'll open it.

[Remember Klaus? She has telekenesis...she can do things with her mind, including opening doors. ]

[ Klaus grins at Rey's message about the couch being her home now. ]

i'm very proud of you for making it to the couch. mostly because that means i don't have to carry you there

oh hey yeah i guess that's easier than picking the lock

[ Which is nice, because it's probably been nearly a year since he's picked a lock. Well, a year for him anyway -- he's pretty sure he had picked some locks in Reginald's study right before the funeral.

Not long after his text, though, comes Klaus at Rey's door knocking out the beat to what is probably a song, but it's too impossible to make out. ]

Knock knock! Pizza delivery!!

You are? Thought you would be proud for having a well stocked fridge--expect this one time.

[She hears him at the door and with fine concentration, the locks turn and the door opens. ]

In here.

[ Once Klaus comes in, he'll find Rey curled up on the couch with a puffy down comforter, pillows around her and curtains down. Darkness is comforting, but overall it looks as though the comforter has swallowed her...and she does not care.

After Klaus comes inside, the door closes behind him.]

Thanks again.

[ Klaus heads in, getting ready to shut the door with his heel, but makes a quiet little surprised noise as she shuts it for them. Ben manages to squeeze in just as it shuts, grinning.

When Klaus heads further into the apartment, he can't help but grin as he sees his sister being a little blanket burrito on the couch. He may not have any personal experience with Rey's current problem, but he could definitely sympathize with some of her symptoms. ]

Awww, look at you. My poor little burrito. Don't worry, brother dearest is here with all the little goodies you need!

[ Klaus gives a little spin, displaying the CVS bags hanging from his arms, before dropping them all on the floor and starting to dig through them for the frozen goods. He tosses a couple of things towards Rey -- the heat pad, a couple of boxes of those sticky Icy-Hot patches for sore muscles, a bottle of Midol, and a bottle of Pamprin.

Ben had made himself comfortable sitting on the arm of the couch closest to Rey, giving her a sympathetic look that she couldn't see. ]

I hope you've got a movie picked out for us, Rey, because I definitely got enough junk food to last us through the winter.

[ And just to make his point he picked up one of the CVS bags filled with candy and junk and gave it a shake, grinning. ]

[ Rey doesn't know how she looks, nor does she care. Pain is preventing her from moving much, and it's a bitch. It truly is. It's making her rethink if child bearing was worth it and gently wishing for death.

So seeing Klaus, seeing a person and talking with them rather than mentally screaming at her body for BEHAVING this way was truly a blessing. Yes, Klaus was a blessing in this moment.

Rey forces herself to sit up just in time to catch those items Klaus so gracious tosses her way. It's enough to bring a tired smile to her face. ]

Thanks, you have no idea how much of a lifesaver you are right now. [She started to shuffle a bit, unboxing the heating pad to get it ready and then used her power to plug it in before placing it behind her, on her lower back.]

No movie picked out, but I have some streaming services, we could binge watch something if you know anything that's good.

[She's heard of a few things, but honestly she just wants the pain to go away and feel human again.]
