For the first time in the eight years he’s had Bobby’s phone number, the texts turn green.
It’s like a stab to his already bleeding heart. Another twist of the knife, signifying this is real.

Notes:

ive had this idea ruminating in my head for a few days and decided fuck it why not i hate myself so I'm gonna do it

also fun fact: the spider i mentioned was indeed discovered this year (on my birthday!) and is freaky as hell thank gawd i dont live in aus id be eaten by the fauna so quickly lmfao

kudos, comments (plsplsplspls) and whatever else are greatly wanted!

come hang out with me on my buddies(and 911) twt-> here!
