But even if I was that wouldn’t make sense, you want me to drink my own milk? Isn’t that kind of messed up? Also I don’t think you can milk a baby goat? Are you sure you heard the employee right?

received:

i am not a farmer

i am just the errand boy

You’re not an errand boy, you’re just someone who can’t even get his boyfriend the plant-based milk of his choice.

You need to stop opening the window and letting the cat into our apartment.

You saw the papers Ms. Greene showed us. The vet said overfeeding could lead to serious health problems for Gertrude.

You can still play with her, you just can’t feed her anymore.

you are the light of my life

….. except you are ignoring me so maybe you dont feel the same way 😔

Oh my god Ilya.

received:

You are the most dramatic person ever. I was in a work meeting and didn’t want to be distracted!

received:

Yes, of course I remember when we first met. How can I forget? You were so hot, I almost tripped and fell flat on my ass.

received:

And of course I didn’t think you asked me on a date. I didn’t think someone like you would be interested in me. But I’m glad you did. I love you and our life together. I would not trade it for the world.

received:

I don’t know why you would be a worm. Would I also be a worm in this made-up scenario? Or am I human? If I am, then I would build you a terrarium and make sure you are well fed with…. wait what do worms eat? Grass? Dirt? I’ll figure it out.

received:

You are also the light of my life, you sap.

received:

...Ilya?

sent:
