egg. I've been fighting pain and burnout... I'll try to exist when one of the two let up o7

i mean— i don't wanna... devalue how much you like seeing... me. 💧

a ton is... um. it feels like too much for just me. 💧

i... um, yeah. i like seein' you too, dilly. kind of... a lot. 😳

HUH—!? you... um. i... wasn't expecting... ♨️

Holy crap. I am a jerk.

i will never believe you , when you tell me I’m not a man ╱ because I’m a man , and more than you will ever be

── .✦ @dllsuese.bsky.social

I won't leave you. ╱ I don't believe you.

what's wrong with running away from reality if it sucks?!

Ooh! What about like, a tropical, mermaid sort of theme? It'd fit your aesthetic more than mine, but... I can work around it!

Mmm... Maybe something for summer? Unless you have... a lot of summer shoes, of course... 💧

wait— really? you... like the idea that much? cool... yeah. that's. really cool. cool—

Wait— okay... You can tell me if this is too much but what if we did matching shoes? Even if they're not the exact same brand or whatever, just. Something that's us, y'know?

Man, I still really love them... It's even cooler knowing you like, made them with me in mind. 💜 Um... If you don't mind, maybe we could... work on a pair together. Or something— I dunno.

i see you shiver with antici—

like... from scratch? or— wait did you MAKE the pair you gave me for christmas!??

egg. i also didn't realize i replied to that on griffin but here we are

i have a feeling that im not supposed to be alive right now.

he's so pretty i want to cry.

❝Attention from strangers is attention I want no part in❞ he confesses matter-of-factly while closing and locking the car door. A stretch is attempting and promptly aborted, the pain shooting from his sides violently advising against the motion. ❝Let's just get this over with— I don't wanna waste »

you could order me dinner and let me use your shower? how about that?

You need to get it changed... at least every five thousand miles you drive. Check it every other week, y'know? If it's down to here ( pointing ), you need to get an appointment to get it changed. I can get it changed this time so you don't have to drive it like this, but don't let it happen again.

Oil isn't something you should have none of in a car... This— this could cause a LOT of problems that are way more expensive than an oil change. Like you could destroy your engine letting the oil get this low.

dillion....

The amused huff that leaves him forces shoulders up in a shrug, head turning enough to look at the other. ❝Yeah... Last thing I need is more attention on me.❞ Another few seconds and the window's rolled up, keys, phone and wallet in his possession before getting out of the car.

He's grateful regardless... He just... Needs a moment to decompress before they walk into the store— By resting his head on the steering wheel and groaning like some sort of zombie.

he might literally start crying on the spot.

That's... Far too kind— Suppose saying no would be off the table, in that case...

that sounds... really nice, actually.

If it's not an issue... Last thing he wants to do is impose—

Work killed him. His ribs hurt. He's grumpy. And of course he has to go shopping before he can go home.

Bleed out for audience approval. Tragic 、but perfectly on schedule.

blinking a couple of times, his attention turns from the text he was sending to the woman using him as a chin rest— ❝uh, h-hey! miss talia! what'cha... up to?❞

i'm in a war of head versus heart, it's always this way. my head is weak, my heart always speaks before i know what it will say.

You've got a lot of nerve 、you're a disaster. You know you don't deserve what your after.

I 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 I didn't 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 about a̲n̲y̲t̲h̲i̲n̲g̲ ──┄ But I 𝐝𝐨 𓈒 I 𝐜̲𝐚̲𝐫̲𝐞̲ .. about 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 .. t̲o̲o̲ much 𓈒

❝I may look* stupid right now, and man do I feel stupid— but I'm not THAT stupid. 'Course I got a change of clothes.❞ Once freed, he allows himself the opportunity to lay out on the grass with a deep sigh. ❝Man, I remember when there was a rose bush out here. I fell into it one time, shit hurt.❞

❝I'm not saying you aren't... I'm just saying they should definitely be ignored. Because I'm going to ignore them.❞ He has: no idea what Illtyd just said, but he's not some linguistic major. ❝Just be careful, man—❞

they all fucking hate me.

do you feel ashamed when you hear my name?

❝I think you're asking too many questions, man. How about we forget this happened entirely, and I make dinner.❞ Not even he has the answers to this one—

There's really no choice but to ignore it when he's cosplaying a carrot— All he can do is hope it didn't inhibit his helper.

❝Shovel would be neat, yeah.❞ No judgement in this house. ❝Could probably do with a shower too—❞
