it was an accident. there was the flooding, so i signed an emergency contract, and then fraser disappeared so ray was a mess.

and then he came back, but he was amnesiac, and by the time he was back to normal we were shipped off to camp hell, so i signed a 3 month contract to get the cabin.

and now they want me to stay?????

[mcferrin]

And the problem is???
They don't want you seeing other people, or??

[scarrystories]

the problem is im terrified of commitment.

they're fine with me doing whatever i want. im p sure ben would let me get away with murder

[mcferrin]

Valid, I guess, but being terrified doesn't do anything except make you miserable, right? You could try just. Enjoying it while it lasts.

Also that's not really a brag, cops do that all the time.

[scarrystories]

jsyk, despite me being apparently dating two whole cops and being legally owned by one

i'm always here for cop bashing

[mcferrin]

TMI about ur sex life man. Even if it being a fetish thing makes more sense. You know they sell handcuffs to just anyone right?

[ see that masterful segue? they're done talking about emotions now, right? ]

[scarrystories]

that was very poorly executed bc there was nothing there abt my sex life.

but if u rly wanna go there, there's this one thing...

[mcferrin]

OK STOP.

Just tell them all potentially implicating correspondence has to go through your lawyer first. You don't have to answer any questions outside of trial.

[scarrystories]

i had a wholeass breakdown during the camp thing. it was very embarrassing.

[mcferrin]

[ wow, actually going to make him be serious? ]

Well. That's... Camp was difficult for everyone, so. That's all right.

[scarrystories]

it wasn't even ABOUT camp, I did great at camp, got all the badges. I'm keeping the fucking wooden dildo as a trophy.

It was more of a build-up of things. I don't wanna be a mess and yet.

[mcferrin]

Okay. Yes, but like. Not to be insensitive to this situation.

Having two partners that like you too much doesn't seem like... a huge problem, Andy. It sounds really nice.

[scarrystories]

except they might disappear any day, or i might disappear any day, and this place likes to torture us for fun, and one died once already

[mcferrin]

Yeah? That's what happens. To living, human people. And sometimes you give someone a part of your heart that you never thought would be available to anyone and they just fucking die with it and it doesn't feel like anything except wet and empty and then they come back and everything is different and more than it was. It just happens.

[scarrystories]

[ BRO??!!! ]

hey man, are YOU okay?

[mcferrin]

omg Andrew, please focus.

[ he's not ok. and he misses gansey. ]

If you want to stop caring about your cops, just leave. We can find you a politician or a stock broker that you will definitely not fall in love with.

[scarrystories]

i don't want to stop caring, i want to care in a way where if they disappear suddenly i won't feel like my heart's being painfully squeezed forever.

also when u type my full name like that i feel like im being scolded

also, do u want a hug?

[mcferrin]

I am scolding you.

And that's not going to happen. Either you relinquish all earthly attachments in search of a path toward enlightenment, or you accept that most things are out of your control and it's probably inevitable that at some point your heart will be painfully squeezed forever.

...

[ he kinda does want a hug. he's not gonna type that out though. unless andy asks again, maybe. ]

Did your other Henry not go over this with you?

[scarrystories]

My other Henry* was busy teaching me much more basic stuff like "pain indicates something is wrong and you should tell people when your ankle can't hold any weight."

*the fact that you worded it like this indicates u have now accepted u are one of my henries

i want a hug

[mcferrin]

[ oh fuck. he sure did walk right into that one. uggghhhh. ]

Well if it would make you feel better.

[scarrystories]

if u come over, i have cupcakes and a big fluffy wolf. i guess i can bring the cupcakes to u, but idk if Dief will want to come too.

[mcferrin]

[ does henry have moral objections to willingly visiting a cop's house? maybe. will he sell them out immediately for cupcakes and a sufficiently intelligent wolf? absolutely. ]

Very well, I accept your bribe.

[scarrystories]

[ he sends his address. ]

you're gonna love the wolf

[mcferrin]

[ by the time he's nearly to the door of the apartment, henry is starting to have second thoughts. like why would andy want to hug him if he has a fluffy wolf available. and the awfully convenient timing of the whole conversation.

whatever. if andy tries to make him do any more feelings, he can always bail.

when he's outside the door he texts a quick I'm Here and waits to be let in. ]

[scarrystories]

[ andy gets the door and absolutely pulls henry into a hug as soon as he steps inside. he didn't lie about anything, but this was very much a trap.

the wolf is sitting nearby, he's fond of visitors because he always gets extra pettings. ]
