I think for me it’s a bit of both. But the anniversary is never fun even now. And yeah I agree, at least we have Max in it with us too. She’s usually pretty good at checking in when she thinks I’ll need it even if I haven’t always been great at accepting help.
I don’t think you’re going to mess up my life. If I want to hang out with someone without you I promise I’ll tell you though. Even if I have to share Barbie. Who I think is going to prefer having you here anyway because I’m pretty sure she adopted you when you were talking at hers.
Only for as long as it takes to find somewhere and end the current lease, I’m sure we can survive. We survived months having to share your room even when it was awkward. At least this time I won’t be desperately trying to hide having a crush on you.
I think there should be a thing where you can have calls to one number be free so people who are stuck doing long distance don’t just have to suffer. Though I guess it does mean that I don’t go home from the bar early to call you as many times as I’d like to.
I mean, you two are two of my favorite people, so
if I had to be in a fucked up club, I guess I'd want it to be with you two,
but I really hate that you two especially know what it feels like to feel
that bad. I think she's developed some kind of empath power. She always
seems to know when I'm at my rope's end. Or she's come to recognize the
signs of self-sabotage, Mike Wheeler edition.
Good, because messing up your life is the last
thing I want to do. Yeah? Loosing it in front of the lovely drag queen
that I've spent the last few years being stupidly jealous of because she
was close to you really only means that our interactions can only go up
from there, right? But yeah, I can disappear when you need me to. I'm not
going to be calling you multiple times a day to check in on you.
And we don't have to share clothes this round if
you don't want to. Though, I always secretly liked it when you wore my
clothes, so it's not off the table, either. But yeah, as long as you know
I fully intend on acting like a polite guest until my name's actually on
the lease.
You might be onto something with that idea. You
should pitch it to one of the phone companies. Too bad you can't just call
me from the bar and tell them to add it to your tab.
You do have tells, or you used to and I’m assuming they’re still the same. I’m not surprised Max has learned them, I could kinda tell at the wedding actually because she pretty much had eyes on you at all times.
You won’t! You’ll make it better <3 And you’re fine, honestly I’ve had way messier losing it cries on Barbie than you. One time I left snot on her shoulder and another she washed my disgusting depression sheets and all my dishes and she still loves me. You were jealous though? For real? I mean that’s kinda adorable but I wouldn’t have wanted to deal with me in some of the situations she had to so you didn’t really miss out on much that wasn’t messy and disastrous.
Mike, your sweaters and hoodies are not safe, you left one here last time and I would have worn it if I wasn’t just keeping it on the pillow instead. I love stealing clothing from people I love who smell good, I should probably try and give them all back now they just smell of my detergent. Also don’t be silly, you should make yourself at home any time you’re here.
Oh I would but I don’t need my friends to overhear our conversations, so going home in time to call it is!
I do? Like what? Jesus, I was a mess at the wedding. I feel like everyone ended up babysitting me instead of having a good time.
I was really jealous. I thought you'd replaced me with someone with better eyeliner skills. :D It's not that adorable, it's dumb, especially since she's been so good to you. I'm glad that you did and you do have her to help during the really hard times.
God, I swear I'm not doing myself any favors but I left it because I kept thinking that maroon one you were wearing might have been an ex's and I wanted to think about you in mine instead. I swear I'm not a jealous asshole all the time.
Yeah, you're right. They probably can't handle us recounting what we did during the day or Hawkins gossip. Too steamy.
I don’t think everyone did, not that I saw anyway and I know El didn’t because she got annoyed and specifically said “I’m not helping this time” and then she stole my cigarettes and my best friend and left me alone to do too many shots
It’s forgivable, I wouldn’t have liked feeling replaced either but I just didn’t ask about your friends because I what I don’t know can’t hurt me She’s great, like a cool aunt, only she never ever tries to tell me I should try and fix my relationship with my father so she’s better than the real ones
Well I have good news for you; it’s Lucas’s because I give my exes their shit back so I don’t get weird and sentimental about it I like having your hoodie though, even if you left it for kinda silly reasons
Hey we might decide to have phone fun again, you never know But mostly I just don’t want them making vomit noises in the background of me being mushy at you
Good. If time travel is ever invented, I'm pretty sure that's where I'm going. You know, if the whole killing Hitler or Brenner thing is off the table.
You've always been smarter than me. I wanted to know what your life was like, even if it ate me up inside. But now that I know first hand, it's a lot better. And don't listen to your aunts. If anyone should be fixing anything, it's him and even then, I can't think of anything that would be good enough.
Are you kidding? Well, there's more where that came from. Wait until they're all shoved into your closet and thrown about your room. Kidding.
Okay, phone fun is definitely something that shouldn't be done in a bar, and since I like when you're mushy and I'm just as gross, I have to insist you go home.
It didn’t work out completely terribly for me except for the hangover and having to buy a new pack of smokes because El is a pain, I guess I’d consider it for Jonathan and Nancys sakes but I have other mistakes I’d undo first
I don’t actively try to torture myself, it’s not productive and I’m tortured enough I’m glad you came over and saw for yourself And don’t worry I won’t. I want nothing to do with him and no apology would ever be enough so the best thing he can do for me is stay away forever
I’m not kidding and god, we’re gonna need a bigger closet because at this rate the floor is where it’s gonna go Guess I better start giving people their shit back
Yeah they do not have a phone in the bathroom so no fun at the bar I’m glad you like it though because it’s very hard to stop even when I’m being gently made fun of for it
