make a fire out of this flame

Summary:

When Simon accidentally sends an awkward photo of himself to a total stranger, he hopes that the person who received his message will forget about it, but the recipient has other ideas.

When Baz gets a photo of a stranger, lying on his back, naked, with a human-sized goldfish on top of him, he is glad for the distraction and so he asks for the story.

Things progress from there.

Notes:

Welcome to my entry for the Carry On Prompt Fest. Yes. That was ages ago, but you know what they say: better late than never.

I chose the prompt from amphipodgirl on tumblr: “Wrong number text fic based on a screen capture image shared on tumblr: a wrong number texted image of a man lying on his back, naked, with a human-sized goldfish on top of him, followed by several incredibly embarrassed texts from the sender, who realizes he sent it to the wrong person”

Title is from the song Little Numbers by BOY. If you know, you know 😉.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

I hope I didn’t make you uncomfortable, but I can fully understand if I did

Please don’t call the police on me

+44 7136 070592 (20:27)
I actually do not know if this is a fineable offense or a form of harassment but if it is, for legal reasons, this is a joke

+44 7136 070592 (20:27)
A joke between me and my friend that completely got out of hand and I am sorry I dragged you into this by acceident

Gif of Lucille Bluth, a character from Arrested Development, looking at something outside of the photo with judgement. Her eyes move up and down.

Niall Kelly (20:46)

Baz Grimm-Pitch (20:46)
Yes

Dev Grimm (20:46)

Dev Grimm (20:47)
Altho now that I am taking a better look… Niall does have a point

Dev Grimm (20:47)

Baz Grimm-Pitch (20:47)
I didn’t reply. I don’t have to.

Niall Kelly (20:47)

I can’t believe this is why you wanted my big inflatable fish

Shepard Bunce (21:06)
well what else were you gonna use an inflatable fish for???

Penelope Bunce (21:07)
Ask Pacey! He’s the one who insisted on buying it for the summer.

Penelope Bunce (21:07)
We don’t even have a pool

Penelope Bunce (21:08)
Anyway Simon this was a honest mistake and you apologised. It is indeed cringe inducing, but no worries, you don’t have to die over it and you’ll never have to speak to this stranger again

my best friend’s little brother bought it for the summer

Simon Snow-Salisbury (21:18)
no one knows why tbh

+44 7375 698181 (21:20)
Interesting. That’s something my little sister would do

Simon Snow-Salisbury (21:20)
little sibling energy right there

+44 7375 698181 (21:20)
Don’t remind me. I’m surrounded by 4 little children who are craving my attention. This is why I don’t come home often.

+44 7375 698181 (21:21)
Well I do adore them

+44 7375 698181 (21:21)
They’re just a bit much

Simon Snow-Salisbury (21:22)
you have 4 little siblings???

Simon Snow-Salisbury (21:22)

+44 7375 698181 (21:22)
You didn’t grow up with little siblings?

+44 7375 698181 (21:22)
The dream!

Simon Snow-Salisbury (21:22)
well if you grow up with a shit ton of other reject kids in care you don’t need little siblings

Oh

Mon 28th of November 2022

Simon Snow-Salisbury (21:22)
someone slap me

Penelope Bunce (21:22)
No

Shepard Bunce (21:23)
why?

Simon Snow-Salisbury (21:24)
because dropping the whole care home thing o na total stranger in your dms isn’t a great way to start a conversation

Shepard Bunce (21:24)
tbf to you… the conversation started with a photo of you being railed by an inflatable fish

Simon Snow-Salisbury (21:24)
WE AGREED THERE IS NOTHING SEXUAL ABOUT THAT PHOTO SHEP

Simon Snow-Salisbury (21:24)
altho you’re right, nothing can top that

Simon Snow-Salisbury (21:24)
not even childhood trauma yada yada

Penelope Bunce (21:25)
The fish is already on top

yo Bazza where did you go?

Dev Grimm (21:30)
You haven’t reacted to our plans yet

Niall Kelly (21:30)
Did Petra steal your phone again?

Niall Kelly (21:30)
Shouldn’t the kids be asleep?

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:31)
I’m here

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:31)
This weekend is fine. I’ll be back in London by then. It’s good to see you guys again.

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:31)
And no, Petra didn’t steal my phone because she indeed is already in bed, but I was talking to the Fish Guy until I made it weird

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:31)
Or maybe he made it weird

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:32)
[ID: several screenshots of the latest messages between Baz and Fish Guy]

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:32)
Look it just got weird

Dev Grimm (21:33)
Hmmmm… yeah, that is an awkward place to end it

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:33)
So you’re suggesting I need to change the subject?

Dev Grimm (21:33)
If you want to

Dev Grimm (21:33)
Like, you don’t have to talk to him

Dev Grimm (21:34)
You said you weren’t intrigued or whatever

Niall Kelly (21:34)
But if you want to you can!

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:34)
I can’t just ignore something massive like this

Niall Kelly (21:34)
Look he isn’t reacting either, so maybe it is embarrassing for him as well

Niall Kelly (21:34)
We human beings have the tendency to info dump at the most inappropriate times

Niall Kelly (21:35)
If you had just randomly mentioned your severe childhood depression caused by grief, you also would have an “omg what did I do???” moment

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:35)
I’d never use omg like an uncultured person

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:35)
But I get what you mean

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:40)
You’re right. Siblings sound much nicer.

Fish Guy (21:40)
it does

Fish Guy (21:40)
sorry for dropping that on you btw

Fish Guy (21:41)
im so used to everyone around me knowing about my ✨dramatic past✨

Fish Guy (21:41)
you’re just a stranger who unfortunately had to see me getting railed by a fish

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:41)
What

Fish Guy (21:41)
a fuck I’m doing it again

Fish Guy (21:41)
me and my friends know what to say to each other

Fish Guy (21:41)
but other people obvs do not always see our train of thought

Fish Guy (21:42)
full disclosure: I am not sexually attracted to fish, just people

Fish Guy (21:42)
no shade no kinkshame to people who might be into fish but I am not one of them

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:42)
My evening truly took an unexpected turn

Fish Guy (21:42)
aaaaah sorry!!!

Fish Guy (21:42)
I’ll shut up now dw

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:42)
I don’t mind

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:43)
It’s a nice distraction. Otherwise my evening would’ve been dreadfully boring

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:43)
I am visiting my parents for a couple of days and it’s lovely, but I will be going back home on Thursday and I can’t wait

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:44)
Although it’s great not having to cook

Fish Guy (21:45)
glad to hear I could bring some amusement

Fish Guy (21:45)
my name is Simon btw

Fish Guy (21:45)
to maybe make this less anonymous/weird

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:46)
My name is Baz

Simon🐟 (21:46)
baz

Simon🐟 (21:46)
your name is baz

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:47)
You can laugh

Simon🐟 (21:47)
im not altho I do wonder where that name comes from

Simon🐟 (21:47)
can’t say I’ve met a baz before

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:47)
It’s short for Tyrannus Basilton

Simon🐟 (21:47)
okay now I am laughing

Simon🐟 (21:48)
are you from some kind of posh family???

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:48)
What gives it away lol

Simon🐟 (21:48)
oh so you CAN lol

Simon🐟 (21:48)
no worries I am too

Simon🐟 (21:49)
fancy hyphenated name and everything

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:49)
Ha! Same.

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:49)
I'm carrying on my mother's name

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:50)
As it should be.

Simon🐟 (21:50)
oh mine is a bit more complicated

Simon🐟 (21:51)
I had a second name in care and when I found my mum’s family I added hers

Simon🐟 (21:51)
it leads to a nice alliteration

Simon🐟 (21:51)
alliteration

Simon🐟 (21:52)
I bet you like big words like that

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:53)
I study linguistics, so yes, I do.

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:53)
Are you a student?

Simon🐟 (21:53)
nah

Simon🐟 (21:53)
tried it but it wasn’t for me

Simon🐟 (21:54)
which is fun cause my friends are now all graduating uni and being thrown in the working world and ive been there for a while

Simon🐟 (21:54)
altho my best friend might do another master’s degree

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:54)
Makes sense

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:55)
This is also my second master’s degree

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:55)
Now you have to excuse me, my stepmother is asking for me

Shepard Bunce (23:06)

Shepard Bunce (23:06)

Shepard Bunce (23:07)
Penny and I are big people we can amuse ourselves

Simon Snow-Salisbury (23:07)
pls

Simon Snow-Salisbury (23:07)
but yeah we exchanged names and he already knows what I look like

Simon Snow-Salisbury (23:07)
in a questionable position

Simon Snow-Salisbury (23:08)
he looks cool too

Simon Snow-Salisbury (23:08)
based on his pfp I mean

Simon Snow-Salisbury (23:08)
I mean I think he’s a guy

Simon Snow-Salisbury (23:12)
shit should I have asked pronouns and shit? i just assmumed

Simon Snow-Salisbury (23:13)
im still bad with meeting people

Simon Snow-Salisbury (23:14)
traumatic childhood yada yada

Penelope Bunce (23:14)
If it makes you feel secure/comfortable, you can always ask!

Penelope Bunce (23:15)
Weird way to meet someone, but good to hear it works out

Simon Snow-Salisbury (23:15)
like yeah how the fuck did I not rea;ise it was the wrong person

Simon Snow-Salisbury (23:15)
this is on you shep you HAD to change to a British number

Simon Snow-Salisbury (23:15)
in my defense I did it in auto pilot so I didn’t even think to check name or pfp or chat history

Simon Snow-Salisbury (23:16)
I was just so excited about the fish

Simon Snow-Salisbury (23:16)
that sound wrong

Shepard Bunce (23:16)
if you don’t know the photo, it doesn’t

Shepard Bunce (23:16)
but we do know the photo

Shepard Bunce (23:16)
I took the photo

Penelope Bunce (23:17)
We can never show it to Pacey

Penelope Bunce (23:17)
He’ll never forgive us for what we did with his fish

Penelope Bunce (23:18)
Anyway

Penelope Bunce (23:18)
Simon do you want to talk to this Baz some more?

Simon Snow-Salisbury (23:20)
yeah

Simon Snow-Salisbury (23:20)

Baz
Tue 29th of November 2022

Simon Snow-Salisbury (10:34)
I’m just gonna ask

Simon Snow-Salisbury (10:34)
what are your pronouns

Simon Snow-Salisbury (10:34)
I mean if we’re getting to know each other and all that

Simon Snow-Salisbury (10:34)
cause I likec talking to you if that isn’t weird

Simon Snow-Salisbury (10:34)
we’re technically strangers

Simon Snow-Salisbury (10:35)
mine are he/him btw

Simon Snow-Salisbury (10:35)
can’t believe I almost forgot to tell you

Baz (11:03)
Hello

Simon Snow-Salisbury (11:03)
oh hi

Baz (11:04)
It’s he/him, thanks for asking

Baz (11:04)
Sorry I assumed yours

Simon Snow-Salisbury (11:05)
issa fine I also assumed yours for a while

Baz (11:05)
Well for some reason, the long hair confuses people

Baz (11:05)
Long hair + love for fashion + gay = confusion, apparently

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:05)
the hair looks cool

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:06)
from your pfp

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:07)
I’m not a stalker I didn’t look up potential tyrannus basiltons

Baz (13:07)
You could. But you might find some of my relatives from ages ago.

Baz (13:08)
Yes it’s a family name

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:08)
I figured

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:08)
well Baz, nice to properly meet you

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:09)
you come here often?

Baz (13:09)
Really?

Baz (13:10)
That’s your icebreaker?

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:10)
tbh idk what else to talk about

Baz (13:10)
Maybe tell me how you found a life sized inflatable fish

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:10)
oh

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:11)
well I didn’t get it. Like I said my best friend’s brother bought it

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:11)
dunno where he got it from tho

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:11)
probably a party shop

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:11)
but yeah we better win the price

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:12)
it was quite chilly lying naked on my back with only a fish to cover me

Baz (13:13)
I can offer you a huge inflatable unicorn for another photo

Baz (13:13)
Although I can’t say it’s life-sized

Baz (13:13)
But it is big

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:13)
well then guess it’s good to know we have a back-up

Baz (13:14)
I mean, I don’t want to assume you want to meet up

Baz (13:14)
We know each other’s names but that’s it

Baz (13:14)
I’ve only known you for a day

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:14)
oh it’s okay

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:15)
it is maybe a bit much

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:15)
I think penny would scorn me if I tell a total stranger where I live

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:15)
but we can keep talking

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:15)
glad to be a distraction

Baz (13:15)
Glad to have you as a distraction

Baz (13:15)
Only a few more days and I’ll be free!

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:16)
is it really that bad?

Baz (13:16)
Well I do have the tendency to be dramatic

Baz (13:16)
And I love my sisters

Baz (13:16)
It’s just the homophobia

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:16)
oof

Baz (13:16)
And the constant disapproval of my academic career path

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:16)
is linguistics not fancy enough?

Baz (13:18)
Oh one might say it is too fancy

Baz (13:18)
My father’s a farmer

Baz (13:18)
And nothing against farming, but I am just too pretty to take over the work

Baz (13:18)
That’s a joke

Baz (13:19)
Partially

Baz (13:19)
I am pretty, but farming isn’t my passion. My sister also doesn’t seem interested, so my father’s hopes are pinned on the twins and the youngest.

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:19)
oh I love farms

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:19)
I love petting animals

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:20)
my ex is a goatherd

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:20)
she and her gf are taking care of a huge flock and I love them all

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:25)
[ID: photo of Simon holding a baby goat wearing a knit sweater]

Baz (13:25)
Adorable! This is a much better photo of you than the fish one

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:25)
yeah lol the fish one was a mistake

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:26)
let’s move past the fish

Baz (13:26)
Too late. I have your contact saved as Simon🐟

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:27)
rude

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:28)
tell me sth embarrassing about yourself so that I can also add an emoji that will foralways remind you of a cringe moment

Baz (13:28)
Uh…

Baz (13:30)
Let me consult my friends

Simon Snow-Salisbury (13:30)

If it hadn’t been for that fish placement

Niall Kelly (13:35)
Stop being so obsessed with a stranger’s private parts Dev

Dev Grimm (13:35)
what about the time you got drunk, climbed a church building, and made out with a gargoyle?

Dev Grimm (13:35)
If he can fuck a fish, you can snog a gargoyle

Baz Grimm-Pitch (13:36)
Sigh

Niall Kelly (13:36)
Or that time you fell into a river

Niall Kelly (13:36)
Sober

Niall Kelly (13:36)
You just fell

Dev Grimm (13:37)
oh yeah lmao that was amazing

Baz Grimm-Pitch (13:37)
One of my favourite shirts got ruined that day

Baz Grimm-Pitch (13:37)
I cannot relive that I will not share it

Baz Grimm-Pitch (13:38)
Wait, I got something

I once almost choked on an eggplant?

Simon🐟 (13:40)

that’s nowhere near as embarrassing as the fish situation

Simon🐟 (13:40)
but alas it will have to do

Can I still trade it for another situation?

Simon🐟 (13:42)
no <3

Niall Kelly (16:35)
But… are we going to talk about this Simon?

Baz Grimm-Pitch (16:35)
What’s there to say?

Niall Kelly (16:35)
Are you still talking?

Baz Grimm-Pitch (16:35)
No, he had to go

Baz Grimm-Pitch (16:35)
Same goes for me

Baz Grimm-Pitch (16:36)
I am not enjoying the scenery of this boat trip, since I am on my phone

Baz Grimm-Pitch (16:36)
Daphne has already let out some disappointed sighs

Baz Grimm-Pitch (16:36)
So, I should go too

Niall Kelly (16:37)
Aight cool

Niall Kelly (16:37)
But this is free real estate for me and @Suavy Devvy to discuss this

Dev Grimm (16:37)
I still think you should change my name in your phone

Dev Grimm (16:37)
But you’re right

Niall Kelly (16:38)
oh shut up do you want me to be like @Snazzy Bazzy?

Niall Kelly (16:38)
Who adds every contact with full name

Niall Kelly (16:38)
Even for his own number

Dev Grimm (16:39)
Honestly it is kinda big that Simon is probably the first person to get a custom name

Dev Grimm (16:39)
I’m pretty certain his parents aren’t even listed as ‘stepmother’ or ‘father’, but as Daphne Grimm and Malcolm Grimm

Dev Grimm (16:39)
Heck, I think even Swithin is saved as Swithin Grimm

Dev Grimm (16:40)
Still can’t believe kids these days have smartphones

Niall Kelly (16:40)
So yeah, Simon is a special boi

Baz Grimm-Pitch (16:41)
I am just talking to some guy. Don’t make a big deal about it

Baz Grimm-Pitch (16:42)
He’s a nice distraction in these trying times (being at my parents’ home)

Baz Grimm-Pitch (16:42)
And even the name thing isn’t that deep. Phones these days automatically save full names. It is efficient!

Baz Grimm-Pitch (16:42)
Although not everyone’s name will be saved like that due to different settings.

Baz Grimm-Pitch (16:42)
 If his contact did do that, I’d also have his full name.

Baz Grimm-Pitch (16:42)
Really it is not that deep

Dev Grimm (16:43)
o shit he’s still here abort the mission Niall!

Baz Grimm-Pitch (16:44)
Can’t I make a friend without having to discuss it with you two?

Niall Kelly (16:45)
We’re a package deal, Baz, we don’t come separate

Baz Grimm-Pitch (16:48)
You guys basically turned me into a third wheel (affectionate) when you started dating

Baz Grimm-Pitch (16:48)
But I really have to go now. I am afraid Daphne will throw my phone in the water

Niall Kelly (16:50)
Well, you are a snob

Niall Kelly (16:50)
So is Dev

Dev Grimm (16:51)
bro

Niall Kelly (16:51)
And I don’t want to bad mouth you but I never saw you as the guy who strikes up a convo with every random person you meet

Niall Kelly (16:52)
Especially in these circumstances

Niall Kelly (16:52)
Don’t get me wrong I am thrilled you’re making friends

Niall Kelly (16:52)
You’re too lonely, Baz

Niall Kelly (16:52)
Especially now that Dev and I moved to Manchester

Dev Grimm (16:54)
Shit’s getting real

Niall Kelly (16:55)
But usually you’d send us a screenshot, make an off-hand comment, and let it be

Niall Kelly (16:55)
What makes him different?

Baz Grimm-Pitch (18:43)
I’ll let you know when I find out

The fish thing was a one-time thing

no it’s not that penny

Simon Snow-Salisbury (9:32)
I just want the photo to be good ya know?

Simon Snow-Salisbury (9:32)
luckily the mask hides this huge spot on my chin lmao

Penelope Bunce (9:33)
Interesting

Penelope Bunce (9:34)
And why again are we sending Baz a photo of you and an eggplant?

that’s between us pen

he choked on an eggplant once that’s the whole story

should I even send this?

Baz🍆 (17:41)
Hah, this is a casual look

Baz🍆 (17:41)
I’m not dressing up for my family

Baz🍆 (17:41)
My parents are going all out, since I am going home tomorrow morning

Baz🍆 (17:41)
Despite all my complaining… it is nice

Simon Snow-Salisbury (17:42)
what time are you going home tomorrow?

Baz🍆 (17:42)
I’m taking the morning train

Baz🍆 (17:43)
So I’ll be back in London in time to do groceries

Baz🍆 (17:43)
After all, that is the downside of independence. Adulthood is just a continuous stream of doing groceries.

Simon Snow-Salisbury (17:45)
ah a fellow Londoner

Baz🍆 (17:45)
I am not doing great with this anonymity thing

Simon Snow-Salisbury (17:47)
I am the person who sent you a photo of myself without doublechecking shit

Simon Snow-Salisbury (17:47)
are you interested in the final product

Simon Snow-Salisbury (17:47)
with the hats and all

Baz🍆 (17:48)
Honestly? Yes

Simon Snow-Salisbury (17:50)
cool I’ll send it to ypo once shep’s done with it

how’s the card going?

Shepard Bunce (17:51)
tbh I haven’t looked at it in a while

Shepard Bunce (17:51)
why?

Simon Snow-Salisbury (17:52)
baz would like to see the finished product

Simon Snow-Salisbury (17:52)
so with Christmas hats and all

Shepard Bunce (17:52)
oh damn he is asking for a photo of you getting railed by a fish now?

Shepard Bunce (17:53)
don’t say any more I’m on it

Simon Snow-Salisbury (17:53)
sigh

Simon Snow-Salisbury (17:53)
the whole getting railed by a fish thing is getting old shep, we need something better

Shepard Bunce (17:54)
well, to quote my favourite musical: you wanted to fuck a fish

Simon Snow-Salisbury (17:54)
I DID NOT WANT TO FUCK A FISH

Shepard Bunce (17:54)
thank you, that’s also part of the quote

I made this in a few minutes so the quality isn’t amazing

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:03)
Mordelia gave me this headband as an early gift

Niall Kelly (21:05)
You look perfect as a grumpy cat, Bazzy

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:09)
[ID: same photo, now with the added text that reads ‘Happy holidays from a reluctant older brother’]

Niall Kelly (21:10)
Still great

Niall Kelly (21:10)
Although I don’t think Mordelia will appreciate the outright reluctance of the entire thing

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:10)
It’s not for her

Oh?

It’s for Simon

[ID: the finished Christmas card of Simon and the fish]

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:14)
He sent me a card. It’s only polite to send one back.

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:14)
Although mine isn’t nearly as chaotic as his

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:14)
But really guys, would you like to receive a card like that or is it too lame?

Dev Grimm (21:15)
Well, wh yaren’t we receiving a card like that?

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:15)
You guys didn’t send me a card! Simon did!

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:15)
By accident, but alas

Niall Kelly (21:15)
The card is nice. I said it before.

Niall Kelly (21:16)
So nice that I would like to have it as well.

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:16)
Technically you two already got it so stop complaining

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:16)
After all I am sending this over WhatsApp

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:16)
I do know that Simon lives in London but no way in hell that I am asking his address. That’s a bit too much.

Dev Grimm (21:17)
True

Dev Grimm (21:17)
Although you are already pretty close

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:18)
Sssssh

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:18)
For now, at least

Baz Grimm-Pitch (21:19)
This is just a funny moment in my life. To pass the time. Tomorrow I go home and life restarts and that’ll probably be the end of it and then Simon will be a fun anecdote that I can talk about

Are you still awake?

Niall Kelly (0:12)
yea

Niall Kelly (0:12)
Dev isn’t tho so if you need him do I wake him??

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:13)
I texted you alone

Niall Kelly (0:13)
true

Niall Kelly (0:13)
what’s uo?

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:13)
Just… about today

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:13)
What do I do now?

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:13)
I feel like you’d give me a more decent answer

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:13)
Dev just loves to piss around

Niall Kelly (0:13)
Do not underestimate him he is a romantic

Niall Kelly (0:13)
I’d know

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:13)
Hmmmm

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:13)
Maybe I am still kinda annoyed at him for dropping our history in the new groupschat

Niall Kelly (0:13)
You can hardly call it a history

Niall Kelly (0:14)
It was just one kiss

Niall Kelly (0:14)
How did it enu up like this

Niall Kelly (0:14)
How did it end up like this

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:14)
I know

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:14)
But Simon doesn’t

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:14)
And I don’t know fi I should bring it up

Niall Kelly (0:14)
I don’t think it’s relevant

Niall Kelly (0:14)
what do YOU want, Bazzy?

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:14)
Him

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:14)
I thought we’d established that today

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:15)
Or even before today

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:15)
All our phone calls about him. All our talks about him. They weren’t for nothing

Niall Kelly (0:15)
true

Niall Kelly (0:15)
But as we said… what are you going to do about it?

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:15)
I don’t even know if he likes guys

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:16)
He once said he is sexually attracted to people, not fish

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:16)
People

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:16)
Not girls or women

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:16)
I mean Agatha is his ex, but as Agatha said there is nothing between them anymore

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:16)
They’re just great friends

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:16)
Very lesbian of them

Niall Kelly (0:16)
Is Simon a lesbian?

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:16)
Niall

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:16)
Take it seriously

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:17)
And he once said something like “I love Shepard” but now that we have seen Shep and Penelope we know that it’s just platonic between Simon and Shep

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:17)
So it says nothing

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:17)
This is a lot

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:17)
Fuck

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:17)
Maybe I need Dev’s ridiculousness after all

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:17)
Wake him up

Niall Kelly (0:17)
no!!

Niall Kelly (0:17)
I was only joking

Niall Kelly (0:17)
God

Niall Kelly (0:17)
Wait

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:17)
??

Baz Grimm-Pitch (0:18)
Did you just knock on my door?

Niall Kelly (0:18)
no it’s a burglar

Niall Kelly (0:18)
Of course it’s me

Niall Kelly (0:18)
A picture with two panels. It's the Eric Andre "Let me in" meme. The top panel is Eric at a gate with the text "LET ME IN" and the bottom panel is more zoomed in in Eric, where he has his head thrown back, with the text "LET ME INNNNNN!!!".

New groupchat who dis??
Mon 5th of December 2022

Niall Kelly (13:12)
We need to talk

Penelope Bunce (13:12)
I think we do

Shepard my love (13:12)
What is going on??

Shepard my love (13:12)
penelove? What is this?

Niall Kelly (13:13)
Look I don’t have long

Niall Kelly (13:13)
Baz and Dev are getting the tickets and drinks

Niall Kelly (13:13)
But I think the four of us are awar e of the Thing between our friends

Niall Kelly (13:13)
Wait do we also add Agatha and Niamh?

Penelope Bunce (13:13)
No

Penelope Bunce (13:13)
Knowing them they don’t want to be involved

Shepard my love (13:13)
I dpn’t blame them

Shepard my love (13:13)
This is a trainwreck

Penelope Bunce (13:14)
all of us saw Simon and Baz interact at one (1) party and we all realised shit is going down

Niall Kelly (13:14)
Basically yeah

Dev Grimm (13:14)
Yeah

Dev Grimm (13:14)
Baz is looking at the drinks menu

Niall Kelly (13:14)
Can you keep him busy for a bit longer?

Dev Grimm (13:14)
I can try

Niall Kelly (13:14)
😘

Dev Grimm (13:14)
love you too

Shepard my love (13:14)
where are you guys?

Niall Kelly (13:14)
catching a show at the West End

Shepard my love (13:14)
oh a musical?

Niall Kelly (13:14)
Magic Mike Live

Shepard my love (13:15)
I LOVE THAT SHOW

 

Penelope Bunce (13:15)
GUYS FOCUS

Shepard my love (13:15)
sorry mummy

Penelope Bunce (13:15)
oh my God

Penelope Bunce (13:15)
But okay I am just going to spill the beans

Penelope Bunce (13:15)
Simon likes Baz

Penelope Bunce (13:15)
He straight up told me at the party even though he could not remember the day after

Penelope Bunce (13:15)
he was super drunk and just rambling about Baz’s hair and face and eyes

Penelope Bunce (13:15)
and body

Penelope Bunce (13:15)
and outfit

Penelope Bunce (13:15)
and hands

Penelope Bunce (13:15)
and what he’d like Baz to do wit those hands

Penelope Bunce (13:15)
He even talked about Baz’s nose!!!

Penelope Bunce (13:15)
Maybe it is a good thing he doesn’t remember because he was a drunk wreck

Penelope Bunce (13:15)
But I talked to him today

Penelope Bunce (13:15)
And from what I see, he isn’t sure what to do

Niall Kelly (13:15)
Same goes for Baz honestly

Shepard my love (13:15)
Oh good

Shepard my love (13:16)
I mean, that they like eac h toher

Shepard my love (13:16)
Although that shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone

Niall Kelly (13:16)
Wait if I may ask

Niall Kelly (13:16)
Why is Simon not sure what to do?

Niall Kelly (13:16)
I’ve met the guy once and he seems very cool and outgoing

Niall Kelly (13:16)
Loves a laugh

Penelope Bunce (13:16)
That’s personal

Penelope Bunce (13:16)
But let’s just say that he has a lot of problems with wanting things

Penelope Bunce (13:16)
And thinking he deserves things

Niall Kelly (13:17)
Hm makes sense

Niall Kelly (13:17)
Baz, on the other hand, is just anxious

Niall Kelly (13:17)
He didn’t outright say this to me or Dev but I think he’s nervois because he’s never fallen for someone this quickly

Niall Kelly (13:17)
They met over text and things just progressed from there

Niall Kelly (13:17)
And now that they’ve seen each other IRL and know this is a real thing, things have changed

Niall Kelly (13:17)
Like now Baz can see himself eith this dude

Niall Kelly (13:17)
Ya know??

Niall Kelly (13:18)
And he and feelings aren’t friends

Niall Kelly (13:18)
idk wanna give away his personal secrets either, but his family isn’t very encouraging when it comes to expressing feelings

Niall Kelly (13:18)
Especially gay feelings

Niall Kelly (13:18)
Which is a shame cause yeah the two of them? That’s something I cann see happening as well

Shepard my love (12:19)
tbh I think we can all see it

Penelope Bunce (13:19)
Yes. We have eyes, Niall.

Dev Grimm (13:19)
Guys Baz is pissed at me

Dev Grimm (13:19)
If I take any longer on deliberating what drink I want he’ll kill me

Dev Grimm (13:19)
I’m now stalling I told him I’m texting Niall which ISNT A LIE to ask what drink niall wants

Niall Kelly (13:20)
Tell him I want a coke

Dev Grimm (13:20)
Okay but we are going to order now

Dev Grimm (13:20)
I do not want Baz to murder me I to die before seeing Magic Mike on stage

Penelope Bunce (13:20)
That’s fine thanks for holding him off

Penelope Bunce (13:21)
Enjoy your show

Shepard my love (13:21)
YES ENJOY THE NAKED MEN!!

Niall Kelly (13:21)
We will!!!

Shepard my love (13:23)
Okay but we’ve established that these two fuckers aren’t going to act on their feelings???

Penelope Bunce (13:23)
Yea

Shepard my love (13:23)
That’s hwere we step in

Penelope Bunce (13:23)
Dev, Niall

Penelope Bunce (13:23)
The thing with Simon is that he just needs a push in the right direction

Penelope Bunce (13:23)
And then he’ll take things from there

Penelope Bunce (13:23)
But that push is a huge thing

Penelope Bunce (13:23)
I did reassure him that he deserves nice things

Shepard my love (13:23)
Hm maybe I should go to him after work to also tell him that

Shepard my love (13:23)
Loving simon hours and all that

Dev Grimm (14:30)
We’re at intermission now

Dev Grimm (14:30)
Niall is the one distracting Bazzy

Dev Grimm (14:30)
He told me to tell you guys that we just need to have one of them confess to the other

Penelope Bunce (14:31)
But how???

Penelope Bunce (14:31)
Shep and I talked a bit more about it during linch

Shepard my love (14:31)
I made some poppin pancakes

Penelope Bunce (14:31)
He did

Penelope Bunce (14:31)
Does Baz do the grand gestures??

Dev Grimm (14:31)
No I do

Dev Grimm (14:31)
I serenaded Niall when I asked him out

Shepard my love (14:32)

Baz🍆 (10:57)
what

Baz🍆 (10:57)
Hmmmm

Baz🍆 (10:57)
It depends on the kind of hummus

Baz🍆 (10:57)
I like chickpeas but they aren’t the most flavourful, so you really have to add more taste to it

Baz🍆 (10:57)
So same can be said for hummus

Baz🍆 (10:57)
The spicy ones are the better ones

Simon Snow-Salisbury (10:59)
oh hello!!

What are your thoughts on hummus?

We have a Situation here

Dev Grimm (14:06)
We do too

Penelope Bunce (14:06)
Baz didn’t reply soon enough and now Si is afraid he hates him

Penelope Bunce (14:06)
Forgive him for it, he used to be a “weird kid”

Penelope Bunce (14:06)
As in, other kids ignored him because he didn’t fit the norm

Penelope Bunce (14:06)
And I suppose this is a remnant of it

Penelope Bunce (14:06)
That and the aforementioned not believing that he can have nice things

Penelope Bunce (14:07)
Anyway what is yours doing?

Niall Kelly (14:07)
Nothing

Niall Kelly (14:07)
which is bad

Dev Grimm (14:07)
We gave him a pep talk

A gif of Snoopy cheerleading. He's holding two blue pompoms.

Dev Grimm (14:07)
But yeah he had a Moment

Shepard my love (14:08)
Care to elaborate?

Dev Grimm (14:09)
Without getting into it too deeply, as we said before, Baz has some problems expressing emotions or being vulnerable so when he does and it doesn’t go as planned he gets very upset

Penelope Bunce (14:09)
We need to get them into the same space again

Penelope Bunce (14:09)
But how will we do that?

Penelope Bunce (14:10)
If we do this, our scheming will go to a new level

Shepard my love (14:10)
I accept it

Shepard my love (14:10)
these two obviously some issues to work through and they might need each other

Shepard my love (14:10)
OKAY

Shepard my love (14:10)
that sounds kinda bad when I put it like that

Shepard my love (14:10)
Not to say that I think a relationsjip will fix things that is not what I a m saying

Shepard my love (14:10)

Shepard my love (14:10)

Shut the fuck up

Niall Kelly (13:09)
Let him talk babe

Baz Grimm-Pitch (13:15)
If I am being honest, I have been thinking about this ever since our last call. I already said it there, but I just… I don’t know how to act around Simon and that pisses me off. I need to be the cool and collected (and hot and mysterious) guy, you know? But then there is Simon Snow-Salisbury and he is just so wonderful and I thought he was attractive from the moment my eyes laid on the fish photo, but then we actually started talking and I realised he is fun, but that was that. A fun anecdote. Simon was supposed to be just that. But then I actually met him and I went home after that fis=rst meeting at Starbucks and my mind was just reeling and it hasn’t stopped ever since and the party was fun but it only exacerbated the problem by confirming that I like him and I do not know what to do with that.

Niall Kelly (13:16)
Wow

Niall Kelly (13:16)
I said “let him talk” and you really went for it

Baz Grimm-Pitch (13:18)
AND I just don’t have experience with this love at first sight bullshit. I mean, I don’t think it can be classified as love at first sight, or maybe it was. I feel like I realised I want to be with him when I first saw him offline but even online I was drawn to him. You guys said it yourself. I don’t talk to new people that easily. And now I am a fucking mess and I can’t be around Simon because I will be a mess! But also if I don’t see him again I’m going to be a pining idiot and UGH

Baz Grimm-Pitch (13:19)
Ah fuck

Baz Grimm-Pitch (13:19)
Can we call again??

Baz Grimm-Pitch (13:19)
Or are you already tired of my longing?

Dev Grimm (13:20)
We’re in the middle of Sainsbury’s

Dev Grimm (13:20)
I mean you can call but it’s fucking noisy here

Dev Grimm (13:20)
You can leave a message??

Baz Grimm-Pitch (13:56)
A soundbar with the play button on the left and the number "36:00" on the right.

[ID: a somewhat blurry photo with Simon in the foreground and his back is turned to the camera. In the background you can see Baz and Penelope. Baz is standing, like he’s just gotten out of his seat, and he has a baffled and surprised look on his face. Penny is seated and she looks smug.]

Shepard my love (14:37)
IT’S HAPPENING!!!!

Shepard my love (14:40)
Simon is a stuttering ididot

Shepard my love (14:52)
oh my!!

Niall Kelly (14:52)
WHAT IS GOING ON???

Niall Kelly (14:52)
GUYS

Dev Grimm (14:53)
DON’T LEAVE US HANGING LIKE THIS

Niall Kelly (15:01)
COME ON

Niall Kelly (15:06)
GIVE US THE DEETS

Dev Grimm (15:10)
DON’T MAKE ME CALL YOU

Penelope Bunce (15:14)
we’re here!!! We’re here!!

Dev Grimm (15:14)
oh my GHOD

Penelope Bunce (15:14)
Simon and Baz just left

Penelope Bunce (15:14)
to go to Simon’s place

Niall Kelly (15:14)
WHAT HAPPENED

Penelope Bunce (15:15)
Okay so as planned, Simon and Shepard came in when Baz and I were talking about the role of Briseis in the Iliad and it was like a movie

Penelope Bunce (15:15)
like time stopped

Penelope Bunce (15:15)
Simon saw Baz and stopped in his tracks and in a stunned voice said “… Baz?”

Penelope Bunce (15:15)
Baz immediately got out of his seat, as evidenced in Shep’s creepshot, and he also said “Simon?” in an awestruck voice

Penelope Bunce (15:15)
And the two of them just stared at each other, lost in their own world

Penelope Bunce (15:15)
Until Shepard coughed and brought them back to reality

Niall Kelly (15:15)
damn Penny are you a writer?

Penelope Bunce (15:15)
No but I do read a lot of SKAM fanfiction

Dev Grimm (15:15)
shhh don’t interrupt her Niall

Penelope Bunce (15:15)
anyway

Penelope Bunce (15:16)
After the initial “what are you doing here”s, Baz just got really flustered. And Simon was also stumbling over his words

Penelope Bunce (15:16)
Now, Shepard actually hyped Simon up during taco time

Shepard my love (15:16)
I did

Penelope Bunce (15:16)
And whatever you two said to Baz might’ve worked again

Penelope Bunce (15:16)
Because they just started talking about how they hadn’t seen each other in a while, but how they would like to talk and all that stuff. I shoved some books in Baz’s hands and Shep and I basically told them to get a room.

Penelope Bunce (15:17)
So Simon, while blushing, suggested they go to his place

Penelope Bunce (15:17)
After Baz asked if it was fine that he’d cut our book club short

Penelope Bunce (15:17)
if only he knew

Penelope Bunce (15:17)
I said it was fine and we can resume another time

Penelope Bunce (15:17)
Baz grabbed his coat and they left

Penelope Bunce (15:17)
That’s all we know for now!

Niall Kelly (15:17)
damn

Niall Kelly (15:17)
and now w e wait

Baz Grimm-Pitch (13:02)
Simon got a sword from somewhere

Niall Kelly (13:02)
KIs it a secret club??

Baz Grimm-Pitch (13:02)
Well I am here, so it is open to the public

Baz Grimm-Pitch (13:02)
But yeah I think so

Baz Grimm-Pitch (13:02)
Every time I ask Si or Shep they just share a mischievous look

Baz Grimm-Pitch (13:02)
Maybe we will never know

Niall Kelly (13:02)

Notes:

Wooooooh! That's all. Damn, I've been working on this fic for months and it is a labour of love.

Please do not call any of the characters' numbers. They're all randomly generated. I also need to thank some people: fishnamedreggie#6068, ionlydrinkhotwater#9698, cattocavo#9830 and Vișinata#2809 on Discord for coming up with embarrasing Baz moments!

I hope you enjoyed it.
