Hey, thanks for watching Christopher today
he said he had a great time with you
hey, of course!
I’m so glad cause I had so much fun too 🥰
that’s great
you're so good with him
yeah, I think your place as my best friend has been replaced tbh 😜
....... wow
I mean, can't say I blame you
he’s the best
he really is
and so are you
completely the best
aw 🥰
what are you up to now then?
Well, Chris is playing video games and I'm just ... here
I guess I could do some housework
what about you?
not up to much, really
Chris tired me out so I’m already in bed 😅
oh, wow
sorry
for what?
exhausting you by proxy?
😂
honestly it was my pleasure
you know I’ll do anything for you two
I appreciate that so much
I appreciate everything you do for us
😊
you're an angel, you know that?
😳
thanks, Eddie 🥰
you're welcome, anytime
so, do I need to let you rest then?
no, we can keep chatting if you want
you're not too tired?
I was just gonna read a book or something for a while anyway
I’m only on my bed cause the couch sucks tbh 😅
you shoulda stayed here, my couch is lovely
yeah
it is
I would've liked you to stay, tbh
felt like we didn't get much time to catch up before you left
but I get it, if you're tired. I know how draining a day out with a kid can be
anyone’d think you can’t get enough of me 😉
maybe I can’t
maybe I don't want to
…….
what are you saying?
I enjoy your company
more than just about anyone's
… same
that's nice to know
sorry I didn’t stay
did you want to?
tbh I thought you’d want some time just you and Chris
yeah… I did
You're always welcome to be with us, Buck
thanks
I’m working on believing that 😊
........ do you doubt it?
yeah
sometimes
it’s not your fault though
just hard to change the way your brain thinks after so long fighting to be accepted by people, you know?
I think I understand that
We accept you, buck
🥰
Chris and I, I mean
we think the world of you
I think the world of you two too
You're so wonderfully sweet
😳
🥰
how about this
what?
next time I’ll just ask if you want me to go, before assuming
good thinking
not just a pretty face, huh? 😉
awww you think I have a pretty face?
😜
You do have a pretty face
thanks 😊
you have a pretty face too
................ really?
a handsome face
yeah
you’re very attractive
uh, wow
thanks Buck
anytime 😅
so
did you end up starting on housework?
oh, nah
it'll keep for tomorrow
true
maybe I could even help?
sure, if you want to
I don’t have anything on tomorrow…
I would love to spend tomorrow with you
stop you’ll make me blush 😅
what's wrong with that?
you have such a pretty blush
you get all smiley and your eyes sparkle
😳
🥰
are you doing this on purpose???
what am I doing?
making me blush!!
and grin
oh. no
oh
okay
If you are, I'm happy
I was, yeah
that’s great
kinda haven’t stopped blushing since we started texting
you have a grin that lights up the world, you know
….
you are SO doing this on purpose
..... doing what?
saying all these nice things!!!
giving me butterflies
making me nervous
you have butterflies? 🦋
......... you're ... nervous?
I’m gonna shut up now 🙊🙈
don't shut up
I’m embarrassing myself
you’re not
I am
you're always wonderful
I’m embarrassed
why are you embarrassed?
it's only me. and I think you're being adorable
………
adorable
yeah, of course
you're a sweetheart, buck
………..
what’s wrong?
you gotta learn how to take a compliment, my friend
a compliment??
one would’ve been a compliment
all of this?? way past “a compliment”
this is like……..
idk
have I made you uncomfortable?
kinda
oh
fuck, I'm sorry
only because I love it
....... huh?
no, you don’t have to apologise
I just…
what is it?
when you say things like that, you make it really hard for me to ignore my feelings
.................. feelings?
yeah
you know…
you have feelings?
for me?
…….. you didn’t already know this??
💀
I had no idea!
wow
okay
um
… surprise?
fuck, we're dumb
I have feelings for you, Buck
feelings….. for me……
yes
a lot of them
big ones
are you saying what I think you’re saying?
that I'm in love with you?
yes
HOLY SHIT
YOU ARE NOT
ARE YOU??????
I very much am
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been for an incredibly long time
I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU TOO!!!!
wow, you are?
🥰
omg how long???
um
a few ....... years
I thought you knew I liked you
this whole time
WHAT
😭
omg Eddie
I didn't have a clue that you felt the same way
?????
I flirt with you ALL THE TIME
you flirt with EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME 😅
all you have to do is look at me and I’m biting my lip
💀
that’s rude but probably fair…
okay
wow
it's not rude, it's a FACT
🙄
well I don’t mean to!
...... but you DO mean to flirt with me?
um
I did at first
but I’ve been trying to ease off tbh
cause I thought you knew and didn’t feel the same
oh, no
I saw you backing away a bit, and I think that's why I've been more ... openly affectionate?
I wanna keep that closeness between us
I thought you were teasing me earlier 😬
making me blush so much
I would never do that
I didn’t think you would, but I couldn’t think of another explanation 😅
wow you’re right we are dumb
the explanation is I'm in love with you and I want us to be together
yeah
I get that now
and I want that too btw
amazing
let's make it happen
🥰
yes please
… should I come back over?
I can't wait to make a life with you, Buck
are you up to it?
I think so
I don't want you sleep driving
I could get an uber?
if you want to
I'd love to see you
… you would? 😍
I always want to see you
Eddie
I don’t wanna sleep on your couch anymore
okay
sleep in my bed then
you mean it???
mhm
😍
as long as you'll let me hold you as we fall asleep
of course!!
I can’t believe this is real
believe it, mi amor
you’re everything I’ve ever wanted
omg you’re killing me
I’m a pile of goo
I'll have to give you mouth to mouth then 😏
😳
😏
👄

I love you
I love you too! 🥺
🧡
