midnight textings

[cherrytrees]

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! Rules: ● Post with your character's name and canon on the subject line, indicate preferences as needed ● Tag others ● Have fun!

Hahaha you're sooooo smitten!

[oldmanfive]

We've already established this, several times throughout this conversation. I'm into her, everything about her.

[extrasensory_problems]

I know I know.
Heh.
It doesn't stop being cute though....

[oldmanfive]

I really hate being called 'cute'. So you are getting away with murder right now.

[extrasensory_problems]

Oh I'm well aware.
It's one of the many benefits of being a close friend of yours.

[oldmanfive]

How did I end up with this many brats in my life? I'm seriously outnumbered and it is not fair.

[extrasensory_problems]

Haha yeah because you hate having us around so much.

[oldmanfive]

Only when you guys are ganging up on me. No one likes being outnumbered. =p

[extrasensory_problems]

Oh come on, you're used to being outnumbered by more than just us brats. ;)

[oldmanfive]

...That's a little more accurate than I care to think about. =(

[ yeah that just made him think of his Commission days, since those were the days he really felt the loneliness and the whole being outnumbered issue. ]

[extrasensory_problems]

Oh shit, sorry. I was trying to make a joke there and failed.

[oldmanfive]

It's okay, Carter. I know you weren't trying to bring up old memories. I just got more issues than your average person normally would have.

[ totally not his friend's fault. ]

[extrasensory_problems]

That's okay, I mean like...it sucks, but what I mean is I don't think you're weird because you have issues. My roommate has like, a ton of issues from when he was a kid.

Hell I have lots of issues too, I just ignore them a lot of the time.

[oldmanfive]

You're not the only one who ignores their issues. I'm still getting use to sharing some of this stuff.

[extrasensory_problems]

Oh man I bet that's weird. If I ever date a girl long enough I'd be so freaked out to tell her about...well a lot of stuff that happened to me when I was young.

[oldmanfive]

Well we have been friends for a few months. So I shared some stuff with her about my past already. We had the father talk since we both have father issues. Though hers is more on the neglect side of things than outright abusive. But yeah, some of the things I've had to share aren't always things I want to talk about.

[extrasensory_problems]

Oh shit, she's a member of the shitty Dad club too? I'll have to make another t-shirt...

I'm sure she won't mind you taking your time to tell her all the things in your past, she probably has some stuff as well that she doesn't want to talk about.

[oldmanfive]

Yeah, like I said more on the neglect side, but shitty nonetheless.

I know, we're still getting to know each other and I definitely don't want to rush things. But honestly I feel like she might be the one...

[extrasensory_problems]

Neglect can be awful as well. It can make people feel really worthless.

...... Woaaaah wait wait. What?!! Seriously?

[oldmanfive]

Oh yeah, I definitely know that aspect well.

Like I said, I don't want to rush things, but my gut and my heart feel it. I haven't said anything to her yet, because this is all so new for us both.

[extrasensory_problems]

I... Wow. Yeah don't rush things but wow.
That's intense.

Also I didn't know that you were the type to believe in 'the one' when it comes to relationships.

[oldmanfive]

Of course, I do. I had a one for over forty years. I didn't think I will find another.

[extrasensory_problems]

Damn. That's so romantic.

[oldmanfive]

I would have went insane without her.

[extrasensory_problems]

Is it weird that I find that statement still kind of romantic?
