She sighs.
“Well, there’s this one time I met this girl with stark blue eyes and crazy hair the week before halloween when I was eight…”
“Did she just haaappen to be at the park behind our old middle school?”
Jade can hear the smile on her face.
“Perhaps.”
“Then it just so happens that I met a girl at that same park the week before halloween when I was eight. She had hair like the sunset. Like a fire.”
“Mhm?”
“M hm! ”
“And what did you think of this girl?”
…
“I thought that I want to spend the rest of my life next to her.”

simple
Jade
you dont get it
kit she’s just so… KIT
it has to mean something
it has to be special!
scorpia
i’m sure anything is gonna be special to her highness
she’s practically head over heels for you
it’s kind of obnoxious honestly
Jade
literally what are you talking about
there is no way she’s in love with me
scorpia
wow
you two are dumb
idiots in love…
Jade
can you just shut up and help me!!
scorpia
if you want it to be special asking me to help plan it out will not hold the same affect you’re going for

“Hello?”
“Jaaaade!!”
“Kiiiiit.”
“Did I wake you up?”
“Maybe. But it’s alright because it’s you.”
“Goshhh! Keep talking to me like that and I might think you like me.”
Jade rolls her eyes.
“Oh nooo what would I ever do if the Kit Tanthalos thought I liked her?”
Kit laughs, then starts snorting.
“Calm down there, tiger.”
“You’re funny when you just wake up Jade.”
“Thanks, I try a whole lot.”
…
“So?”
“Jaaaade.”
“What?”
“Can we get waffles tomorrow? I want so many waffles with whipped cream and a SHIT ton of strawberries. Maybe some blueberries too??”
“Sure, Kit. We can get waffles.”
“Yaaaaay!”
…
“Are you gonna remember this in the morning? Or do I need to come by your dorm at 10:30 and wake you up.”
“I can remember! I’ll even set an alarm. ELORA! RECORD ME SETTING THIS ALARM AND SEND IT TO JADE!!!”
She laughs, remembering how Elora had declined Boorman’s invite earlier. It’s silent for all of thirty seconds before her phone dings.
elora!!!
sent you a Snap
Jade opens it, bracing herself. It’s incredibly loud, for one. And for two, Kit is indeed setting an alarm that says, “BRUNCH WITH JADE !1!!1!!!!!!1!! 🍓🍓🍓🍓”
She stifles a laugh.
“JADE! Did you see the video??”
“Yep. You gonna pick me up then?”
“You know Iammm. Hashtag chauffeur!”
“We’re gonna be walking, Kit.”
“The sentiment still stands! I’ll carry you on my back.”
“I’ll take your word for it."
“Kayyy. Also can I wear your hoodie? Mine are all dirty. And it’s so cold in the mog- Morg. MOR. NINGS.”
“If you really want to.”
“I do want to! Because then I’ll have something that smells like you all the time. And then I can pretend you’re hugging me all the time!”
Jade hears Boorman whooping in the background. She ignores the warmth in her cheeks, laughing slightly.
“Ok, Kit.”
“Ok JADE!”
…
“Are you still awake?”
“Just barely.”
“Okayyyyyy I’ll let you sleep love you byeeee!”

“Why do you always answer like that?”
“Like what?”
“Like you don’t know who’s gonna be on the other end of the phone.”
“Just habit I guess.”
“Well guess what!”
“What?”
“Time to break freeeeee of the chains of habit! BYOB!”
“BYOB?”
“Be your own boss, duhhh Jade!”
“Oh of course. Sorry, your Highness.”
“Hmmmm.”
“Well, what is it this time?”
“Wanna come over tomorrow after class and watch Cake Boss?”
“You already know I’m gonna say yes.”
“That is soooo amazing Jade!”
“Isn’t it?”
“Jaaaade Jade Jade Jaaaddddeeee!”
“Wonderful singing voice there.”
“JAAAAAAAADDDDDDEEEEE!!!!”
Jade pulls the phone away from her ear momentarily.
…
“A round of applause is needed I think.”
Jade applauds.
“Thank you thank you! I’ll be here all week!”
“Can’t wait for more performances.”
Kit laughs.
…
“Jade?”
“Yes?”
“Can I do braid your hair?”
“Do you really think you’re equipped enough for that?”
“UGH of course I am! I grew up watching Scorpia do cool braids and shit in your hair. I’m totally a master.”
“Reeeally now?”
“YES really!”
“I’ll believe it when I see it.”
“Yeah you willlll.”
There’s some fumbling on Kit’s end of the call.
“All good there?”
“Yessss I’m just moving a bunch of shit off Airk’s desk. He is soooo messy. I think Boorman is rubbing off on him.”
“Gods help us all.”
“You can say that again!”
…
“Ok so I’m gonna go eat an entire bag of pretzels.”
“Munchies kicking in?”
“I have nooo idea what you’re talking about!”
“Right.”
“Bye pretty lady!”
“What—”

thank you for the flowers
<3
i think you’re beautiful too
and maybe i’m just a little bit in love with you as well
kit
<333
i had to get a book from the library to make that bouqet
knowing your fancy-pants flower language comes in clutch
now i know what all the flowers you’ve given me over the years mean >:)
to be fair though, i think i’ve been in love with you for a long time. it just took me a longer time to realize it and once i did i was scared to lose you. not because i think you’re gonna leave me, but just because i feel like i’m hard a hard person to make someone want to stay. so really, you being here all these years means the world to me
Jade
i love you too idiot. i’ve probably known that since the first week i met you. ofc i didn’t know what it meant at the time and it took a /long/ time for me to figure out what wanting to be around you all the time meant, but i’m glad we’re here now
i’m never gonna leave you, i promise.
i’m here for the long run (as your girlfriend or even just your best friend)
if you’ll have me
kit
best friend AND girlfriend please!
i’ll have you for as long as you’ll let me :)))
