Like for as long as we've really been friends. Is that weird? It feels kind of weird to just type this out because I've been keeping it secret for so long.
[ Minho expected texts after he turned his phone back on but not these oh god. ]
you didn't make it creepy i mean i don't know if you've thought about it since i got on the plane or what but dude i've been kind of flirting with you for months like literally months
at first it wasn't flirting though i guess but then it did actually turn into it and it was really hard not to kiss you when you came and visited for sdcc
so yeah i mean that did definitely happen and it was sort of a long time coming especially if both of us had been thinking about it? we're stupid, basically
I guess your flight landed. :P I wouldn't have minded with Times Square, I mean I see it all the time Might've been nice.
I guess it makes sense, now. I was reading through some of the old texts and... I guess I see where fans get it now, haha. Think I'm mostly just wondering why I waited until right then. Not a lot of time. I guess I thought if you were gonna run away I'd give you an outlet, haha. (Not that I really think you're the running away type? I guess I was just scared I was gonna shuck it up forever.)
[ hi yes dumb grinning through the streets of new york rn ]
yes my flight landed you shucklehead we're taxiing right now and i'm impatient but now i'm just like kicking myself for not doing it so next time i'm in new york i'm going to have to 'cause that was a wasted opportunity and so was every single other moment
i am not exactly the most subtle person in the world the fanbase figured it out before you did it was kinda hilarious but hey whatever it happened that's what matters and we're clear across the country from each other again but w/e just means we'll have to visit each other more often since i sure as hell ain't running anywhere tommy and you didn't shuck it up at all
[ His rowmates think he's nuts with the grin on his face bye. ]
[ thomas' apartment feels really, really empty without minho in it. that much is true as he pops open the door with his hip, and he doesn't want to seem like, clingy or anything, but maybe a game date would be nice tonight.
a date. hehe. date. ]
I guess so, yeah. :) I'll...come visit sooner than you think, probably. Depends on what I can talk my professors into Maybe I'll find a convenient conference to present a convenient paper that I've definitely been working on my whole undergraduate career on in convenient California.
I didn't notice. (I guess that was the problem?)
[ the last one makes him smile a little, and he curls up in a chair at the apartment. ]
[ At least he's back home in his cozy Stark Tower instead of currently still stuck in a plane and inevitably stuck in an airport before going to a tiny shucky apartment. Not that he doesn't enjoy living with Newt, that's the best part of it all. But eventually, he and Alby are going to move in with one another and he knows it.
Just a matter of time. He'll figure something out later. Right now, he's definitely thinking of a game date to at least soothe some of that pining. He's so gross. ]
wow that sure is a lot of convenience are you sure you aren't running a convenience store or something there, buddy joking aside that would be really cool?? i mean not just because you'd be in california but really cool because you've been working on it for so long
[ He does in fact roll his eyes. ] you can be kind of dense sometimes but it's been worth it i think 'cause yeah
[ stark tower's not really the same without bruce. :c ]
If I totally bomb the presentation, that's exactly where I'll end up, haha. I'll work at a 7-11 the rest of my life. At least I can get a discount on junk food. I can try, I just have to find one out there. I might have been looking already, though.
[ he can admit that now without being too embarrassed. ...ok, maybe a little embarrassed. ]
It's in about a month. If I can get my paper approved. We'll have to play a lot of games to fill the void. :)
[ this whole being affectionate and flirtatious thing is kind of foreign, but in the best way possible. thomas is still grinning at his phone. ] :) You're still my best friend, you know that, right?
[ Bruce will come back. :C He can totally hijack a plane back to NYC right. ]
you're not going to bomb oh my god you're way too smart for that you shank it does not surprise me that you've been looking, though way to be sneaky about it but seriously i know you
[ And it's touching? God stop that Thomas. ]
we're going to play every single video game ever to fill the void although i'm putting my foot down i am not going to have the weight of your procrastination on my shoulders make sure you fine tune your paper before you get too absorbed in minho time
[ Oh no that made his heart squeeze in his chest a little. His grin definitely doubles in size. ] yeah and you're mine
[ we've been over this minho you're trying not to get arrested. ]
You're supposed to be shocked and surprised! :P I guess I can't top yours considering. I really didn't think you were coming. I wasn't even gonna go to NYCC. Wasn't really worth it, you know?
I was hoping you'd say that. :) Got a lot of achievements to cover before then. I always get absorbed in Minho time! That's half the problem! Oh man Brenda will be so smug when I tell her, haha. She says you hog my attention. And that I talk about you a lot. I don't think I do but I'm starting to review my life after this.
[ cries he could kiss you right now. again. ] Okay. Cool. :) So nothing really changed Except for the fact that you're like really good looking and I can say that now
you've managed to shock me with a big one already man suddenly went hey man let's go to sdcc btw i got tickets for it and also a hotel room so we don't have to commute and my flight's been booked already i had to top it by just not telling you a shucking thing if you'd said no i would've been kind of screwed but i was hoping you wouldn't
i realize i am very distracting but you have to have more willpower than that i mean i'd rather you didn't 'cause i have a problem and it's a thomas problem because brenda will not be the only one i'm like constantly talking to you and when i'm not? i'm definitely talking *about* you it's a legitimate thing i already knew it and everything
[ More kisses are always welcome you're just too far away now. ] dude you've said i'm really good looking before although now i guess i can stop telling you you have an ugly mug the farce is over thomas you're really shucking hot
It was fun, right? I'd been planning it for forever. Trying not to tell you was really hard! I kept telling Newt everything. So I'm glad you had to struggle, too. I was really surprised. :) And kinda touched. Mostly happy though.
Yeah, well, the faster I finish, the more time I can spend shucking around with you. ...wait, that didn't come out like I wanted it to. Uh screwing around? Wow, no, that was even worse PLAYING GAMES WITH YOU. That is what I meant. Oh god.
Anyway, yeah-- Brenda tried to ask me out a couple months ago. And I said no. I mean, I like her, she's a great friend, but... You get the picture, haha.
[ well now that tommy's made a total shank out of himself jfc. he gets embarrassed on his side of things, turning a little pink in the face. ]
Wow. Um. Thank you? You too? I mean you had girls hitting on you the whole time we were there. And not just because you're a little famous, either. :P You shouldn't wear those muscle shirts in public or I guess maybe you should wear them more. :)
are you kidding me yes it was fun it was super fun and if you want to do it again next year i am 100% on board like for both sdcc and nycc we can make it a yearly thing if we can swing it anyways and now newt won't have to listen to both of us 'cause i kept whining at him about everything tbh
... god bless you thomas i swear all of the above?
i know teresa was up on your grill for a while there before you got it in her head that she's sisterly these days and brenda was kind of like sort of implying she was going to do it in a chat a while back idr when but it was me winston and ben i think at the time but i'd left because i like her i didn't want to get mad especially since it was like before this obviously
[ There, Minho makes it a little more of an equal exchange. Even if he's not really that embarrassed about it, personally. ]
i could just wear no shirt i mean obviously not in public but it'd balance out the fact that girls keep hitting on me when you're around make up for that
Who knows, if this fanbase thing goes enough Maybe they'll pay us to be there! That'd be great. Living the dream, right? :) Poor Newt. I feel like I should apologize.
...uh, yeah. All of the above sounds good too.
[ BRIGHT RED OVER HERE GOODBYE ]
Really? Wow. Yeah, she asked me out and I said no... She said she wasn't really surprised. I just never... I don't know, even with Teresa when she first asked I never really cared that much, you know? Like, I didn't really see it at all in my future. And then you came along and totally turned that upside down Like, you know everything you do.
[ how's that for some real feelings. and then he had to go and talk about being shirtless and thomas' brain just kind of short circuits. ]
we'll apologize to newt by getting a panel and also that would mean we'd have money to make it yearly new life goal in place
[ There's so much grinning on his end, and if Thomas can't feel it from cross-country then he'd be shocked. But he'll spare him further embarrassment on that one. ]
really, and thankfully everything went well and it wasn't just you dealing with it i guess aris' friend sonya asked me out a couple weeks back obviously i told her no but she was kind of confused about it not like she didn't get it but uh more like i told her i was going to be seeing somebody soon it was in the literal sense at the time since lol planning on coming to visit you? so guess i'm gonna turn everything rightside up and make it official tommy let's go facebook official ;D
[ Real talk real feelings. But at least they can distract from the Feelings with Minho laughing some more because that's what he's doing. ]
i'm still in the public eye or else i'd snapchat you just because i know you're probably turning bright red
