that emoji chat

Summary:

Buck starts talking to Eddie only in emoji, and Eddie has no idea what any of it means.

Notes:

If the emojis are not showing up for you, please see the second chapter which is exactly the same except it includes emoji 'captions'.

Eddie by Veronae, Buck by disasterbuck.

hey, um
can I ask you something?

so that I’d stop?
no
it's okay if you were
Buck, I legit had no idea what you were saying
....... okay
well, doesn't matter now anyway
tell Chris I say hi

hey, you got a minute to chat?
sure
what’s up?
so remember how I said I was gonna ask Chris to translate all your emojis?
.............
I thought you were joking
nope
anyway
he seems to think you were trying to tell me you're in love with me
...........
what do you want me to say?
‘sorry’?
no
I want you to tell me if he's right
why?
because it's important
..... right
okay
fine
he’s right
........ wow. okay
you're in love with me?
yeah
but don't worry I got the hint
what hint?
when you practically threw yourself off me?
after playing video games?
omg, buck
I didn't know how you felt!
maybe not, but it was pretty obvious I was about to kiss you
you want me to come back over and wrestle you again?
I….. what?
you were?
I wanted to kiss you, Buck. .... that's why I pulled back
that and my phone alarm going off
wait
you wanted to kiss me?
yeah
omg
I thought…
I thought I'd freaked you out
no
maybe I freaked myself out a little bit
wow
I would never have forgiven myself if I'd kissed you and you didn't want me to
but ............ you do want me to?
I absolutely want you to
okay
… okay?
let's make that happen
wow
