If I Was A Worm

Summary:

Alex, hopeless romantic that they are, texts Morgan in the middle of the night to reference a viral internet question.
Morgan is confused.

Notes:

This is my first S&D Tier fic, and the first purely text-message fic I've published. I'm writing it because Lighthouse Raiders is pouting.
I hope you like it! I love comments, and I do take requests.

Alex 3:56am

Would you still love me if I was a worm? 

 

Morgan 4:16am

Why did you turn yourself into a worm?

 

Alex 4:17am

Oh, that's such a better way to find out!

 

Alex 4:17am

Thanks!

 

Morgan 4:18am

THAT WAS NOT A SUGGESTION!

 

Morgan 12:06pm

I just made breakfast. Can you poof the dishes clean?

 

Morgan 12:36pm

Alex?

 

Morgan 12:37pm

Alex, are you a f***ing worm?

 

Morgan 12:38pm

Alex, come on. It's your day to clean the appartment.

 

Morgan 12:39pm

Come on, you said to use you! I'm using you! Clean!

 

Morgan 1:44pm

I'm bored.

 

Morgan 1:46pm

How long are you gonna keep this up?

 

Morgan 1:57pm

Are you even a worm, or are you just ignoring me?

 

Morgan 1:59pm

You're ignoring me.

 

Morgan 2:56pm

You're a worm!

 

Morgan 2:56pm

You're not in the apartment.

 

Morgan 2:56pm

You left your phone.

 

Morgan 2:56pm

I can't summon you until next month!

 

Morgan 2:57pm

What is your endgame?

 

Morgan 3:01pm

Alex, I know you can see this.

 

Morgan 3:03pm

You can do anything. Just come back.

 

Morgan 3:04pm

Stop being a worm.

 

Morgan 3:05pm

I can't 'use you' if you're a worm.

 

Morgan 3:05pm

The apartment stays dirty if you're a worm.

 

Morgan 3:07pm

I'll have to clean if you're a worm.

 

Morgan 3:08pm

Alex, I'm scared. I can't go back to cleaning.

 

Morgan 3:10pm

Alex, what if I need you?

 

Morgan 3:11pm

What if you need me?

 

Morgan 3:12pm

I know you don't technically need to eat, but shouldn't you?

 

Morgan 3:14pm

What do worms eat?

 

Morgan 3:24pm

I'm making a compost pile.

 

Morgan 3:26pm

There's nothing to put in the compost pile.

 

Morgan 3:27pm

Your magic cleaning powers are hurting worm-you.

 

Morgan 3:43pm

Okay, breakfast is in the compost pile.

 

Morgan 3:56pm

I even washed the dishes.

 

Morgan 4:01pm

You not being here is freaky.

 

Morgan 4:03pm

I mean, you do wander off a lot.

 

Morgan 4:04pm

But you're not on the news.

 

Morgan 4:04pm

And you don't have your phone.

 

Morgan 4:05pm

And I can't summon you.

 

Morgan 4:06pm

And the new season of Bridgerton won't be out until Winter!

 

Morgan 4:08pm

You don't have to come back.

 

Morgan 4:08pm

Or be human.

 

Morgan 4:09pm

You can just stay gone.

 

Morgan 4:10pm

I can't stop you.

 

Morgan 4:59pm

Alex, I miss you.

 

Morgan 5:01pm

I can't find worm-you. How am I supposed to have fun?

 

Morgan 5:03pm

Who am I supposed to laugh at the atrocities of?

 

Morgan 5:03pm

BARNABY??

 

Morgan 5:05pm

Alex, it's no fun without you.

 

Morgan 5:06pm

Nothing's going horribly wrong.

 

Morgan 5:06pm

My day is normal.

 

Morgan 5:07pm

It's f***ing weird!

 

Morgan 5:08pm

I can't take care of worm you.

 

Morgan 5:08pm

Not if I don't know where you are.

 

Morgan 5:09pm

If I did, I'd put you in the compost pile.

 

Morgan 5:10pm

I'd feed you leftovers I'd have to clean up anyway.

 

Morgan 5:11pm

I'd keep you safe from whatever horrors you put in my sh**y*ss apartment.

 

Morgan 5:12pm

I'd sit with you.

 

Morgan 5:13pm

I'd watch stupid shows with the compost pile.

 

Morgan 5:14pm

I'd love you.

 

Morgan 5:15pm

Of course I'd love you!

 

Morgan 5:16pm

You're the most important person in the world to me.

 

Morgan 5:17pm

You're my partner in crime.

 

Morgan 5:18pm

Even if you're a worm.

 

Morgan 5:20pm

I'll always love you.

 

Alex 5:21pm

And I'm the hopeless romantic. 

 

 

Morgan 5:22pm

I will k*ll you.

 

Alex 5:23pm

Please try.

 

Alex 5:24pm

Maybe you'll love murder as much as you love me.

 

Morgan 5:26pm

You are the worst person I've ever met.

 

Alex 5:27pm

Aww! Never knew you thought so low of me.

 

Alex 5:28pm

Keep sweet-talking, and I'll confess my epic love, too.

 

Morgan 5:29pm

You suck.

 

Alex 5:30pm

I love you, too.
