The Midnight Texting Meme

It's the middle of the night and you're trying to catch some z's — or brooding alone in the alleys, as one does — when your phone dings and suddenly a stranger or a friend is texting you. What could they possibly want at this hour? Is it important? Stupid? Are they drunk or maybe just needy? ~~Do they need help hiding a body???~~ Pick up your phone and find out!

Well it definitely wouldn't feel right to me if she wasn't there.

What is the appeal to teasing about it though? It's not like I ever said I was monk or something. I honestly thought I wouldn't connect with anyone on this sort of level. Especially with the age gaps that goes two ways with my body and mind not matching up. It's still surreal to me that a connection happened and she's not telepathic.

Are there any of your siblings that you are worried about her getting along with?

The appeal is because it's so awesome to see you get excited about something like this. I know you're not a monk but you almost never talk about women you find attractive. Also you can't tell me that if the tables were turned and I suddenly started dating someone you wouldn't want to tease me from time to time about stuff.

Speaking of the age gaps, does she usually date guys who are older than her?

It's hard to say. They all can be assholes and that's the main thing that worries me. That one of them will say something hurtful to her and not even realize it.

Not really? You've been pretty sappy without having anyone in your life. Besides teasing you over trying to escape a disaster date is funnier than teasing you over being with someone you are really into.

I don't really know. All of them sounded they were generally around her age maybe a couple years older. I don't think she's ever been with anyone as old...or as young as me. =| I hate this two way gap so much.

Even your sisters can be assholes?

Yeah I know, I'm a big sap. My roommate makes fun of me for it constantly. You might get another chance to tease me about bad dates, I've got another one coming up this weekend.

Somehow I don't think she's ever been with anyone like you, but maybe that's a good thing. It might make things complicated but it does make you one of a kind?

Oh definitely. Don't let them fool you. I've seen them both say shitty things. Hell Vanya's said some pretty shitty things to me directly, when she was mad at me.

Well maybe you'll get lucky and this one will be able to have a conversation with you, without being creepy toward you.

No, she hasn't but some times it just feels frustrating to me.

Wowza. I mean...hopefully they will all be on their best behavior when they meet her? And if they're warned ahead of time about it there will probably be less weird questions.
Uh just in case though, is your girlfriend good at deflecting uncomfortable silences?

That's the hope, my friend Liz is setting us up so hopefully it will be better than last time. Liz knows me pretty good...uh especially since we sort of dated for a while.

And that's okay, so long as you don't let that be the focus on your connection with her.

I hope so too. I love my siblings but I don't exactly appreciate when they are assholes to people I care about. I'll be even less appreciative of them being assholes to her. She's been mistreated enough. I don't know to be honest. I've never hung out with her in situations like that.

Well I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. You deserve some happiness too.

I know...she cares less than I do at this rate, but I can't help be bothered when it hinders us. I want to be able to do things for her out in public and not having someone assume we're related or worse...

What's her personality like? Is she quiet and shy?

Aww thanks Five.

Yeah I would probably feel similar in your position, it's hard not to notice people gawking sometimes.

At first glance, she gives the impression of being a loud and confidant woman, but she has these shy moments. Where it is obvious that she's always so confidant.

You don't have to thank me for that.

Basically. I try not to think about it but I'm not always successful.

Interesting, do you think she'll get shy around your family? Or be confident?
Also side question, is she flirty?

I know, but still. Thanks.

Hrm yeah. At least you live in the city though, a lot of city people tend to ignore stuff purely because it is the city. Those stares would be 100% worse if you lived in a small town.

I don't know. I hope confident, but you've met some of my siblings. They can be an intimidating crowd. And yes, she is a natural flirt.

That's what friends are for right? To have each other's backs?

True and well I'll pay extra just to get us some privacy in places she wants to go.

[ Thank god for the trust fund set aside for him. ]

I have yeah, I'm sure she'll win them over though. Ahhhhh ha. I'm starting to think you like that in a woman....XD

It is yeah, it's just nice to hear from time to time.

Anywhere in particular you think she'd want to go? I'll throw in some cash if you need it.

She doesn't look like the French woman if that's what you are thinking.

I suppose you got a point there.

Thanks for the offer, but it isn't necessary. I help with the family finances, so I have funds available to me. She mentioned wanting to go to a Ballet. So I may start there.

Oh I'm sure they look totally different, I'm more just thinking attitude wise. I think you like a woman who flirts heavily with you.

With that in mind, I'll always have your back Five.

Oh the ballet is great, if you want to skip the big productions you can get cheap tickets for a lot of the smaller scale productions. Does she like all types of dance or just ballet?

I don't really agree with that because my old boss would constantly flirt with me and I hated it. It depends on the demeanor and personality more.

Likewise, Carter. I got your back too, buddy.

She seems to be a fan of dance in general, but ballet was what she mentioned when we were brainstorming ideas for places she could wear the dress I bought her.

Your boss used to flirt with you? Huhn, that's not exactly proper business etiquette. I'm guessing there wasn't exactly an HR department you could report them to?

:)

Oooh a fan of dance, I like her already. Have you ever been to the ballet Five?

No, it isn't. Our entire relationship wasn't exactly appropriate but I wasn't really in a position to do anything about it. I had to go along with certain things as a means of survival.

[ That's probably the first time, he's really admitted to hating what the Handler did to him, during his time with the Commission. ]

No, I haven't. I've only ever been to some orchestra concerts. But ballets and operas I never had the opportunity before but now I have an excuse to go them.

Oh Jesus, Five. That's awful. Like...shit.

I think you'll enjoy it, ballet can get a bad reputation for being stuffy and boring but it's actually really powerful.

Yeah, I know. Trust me I know. I'm not exactly proud of the shit I let happen, but I didn't have a lot of options.

My sister is a violinist. So honestly I'm pretty open to stuff that is related to that.

Dude I'm so not putting any blame on you for that shit. That's all on your boss. They're a piece of shit for doing that to you.

Oh awesome, yeah you'll totally enjoy it then.

Sorry, I don't really want to talk about this anymore. So can we change the subject?

Yeah absolutely. Back to your good news.

What does your girlfriend look like?

She's beautiful and hopefully I get to introduce you to her some time soon.

Short? Tall? Long hair? Blue eyes?
I'd like that.

Short hair, violet eyes, smile that can light up a room and some how she's into me.
