Of course, how could I forget the cheese. That's still top three meals of my life.
Favors: stay away from deck railings tonight. Drink a full bottle of water and take like, four Ibuprofen before you pass out. Eat something right now. Don't go near the pool or hot tub. Don't touch any knives or guns. Don't go to the Bridge. Just, blanket request, don't do anything I'd do.
[That's a lot of favors and no line breaks, so Natsuno re-reads it multiple times until he thinks he got it. Everything seems reasonable except the part about not touching knives, but if Clarke's asking...]
[More radio silence ensues as Natsuno makes his way from deck 5 to his cabins - slowly, full of distracted detours and pauses to sit down somewhere. It's in one of those sitting breaks he texts Clarke again.]
i know you said to get ouf of my head but iwas thinking tohru chan was my best frined before and youre my best friend now but its not the same eeven if youre both blond and he was youre age too that;s a weird conisedence never mind point is i dont like you the same way youre a better best friend than tohru chan but
but that quiet reaction slips into something a little milder with that next text. huh, is this tohru time? all those months ago, way back in july, natsuno hadn't balked when clarke used "the people we love" to reference the friend that'd come to kill him, who he couldn't run away with and thus didn't run away from. but he'd not said it so forthright and she hadn't pushed. it'd be nice if clarke could keep this light and rib him for having a specific type in regards to friendship but, yeah that wouldn't land. and all she can really think about is how much worse a crush must have made his death. )
You just think you had a crush? You don't actually know, didn't realize it in the moment?
in the moment iwasnt really thinking about it because i was gonna leave sotoba after graduation anyway and tohru chan wanted t ask the nruse out but now im inside my head looking back with a different pespektive and i really loved him
is it? id do it all over again you know no regrets i told him it's fine too when he was crying but it really sucks im always sad voer tohru chan but now im sad in a new way too and it really sucks
And say it as much as you want, all of that really really really sucks. Mourn as much as you need, but don't forget it'll be okay if, eventually, you stop feeling less sad about him.
( there is an absolutely stupid grin on clarke's face as she texts back — )
Have fun.
( — then really hopes that radio silence is because he's following her last instruction. that's really fricking cute and now that she knows, there is a 1000% chance she sees it every time the three of them are in the same room. she'd railed so hard against forming interpersonal or romantic relationships to stede bonnet's face but a) is a complete hypocrite and, b) thinks natsuno deserves whatever makes him a little bit happier so as the song goes: "fuck what i said, it don't mean shit now".
...shit does she need to tell him about palamedes after this at some point? )
