text; super early in the morning

I can't do this. These memories need to stop. I can't.



Edit: Didn't someone ask about castles? There was also a dragon. It was not a good time.


Edit 2: No one named Erik with blue hair out here by any chance, right?

Sure!

Oh, that reminds me. I gotta say thanks to your mom for being cool.

[bearshermark]

Oh cool, I didn't know you've met already.

[hardtoignore]

She didn't tell you? She helped me get a cat. Sort of.

Here, let me send you some pictures of Cheddar. [Cue about half a dozen spam pics of an adult male orange tabby, slouched over Clarence in some way or another.]

[bearshermark]

That's amazing! He looks so comfortable, too. And your guardians are cool with it?

[hardtoignore]

They are, surprisingly. I

[There's definitely a pause here.]

I never would have thought they'd be down with it. But they were actually really supportive and looked kind of, IDK happy? That I asked about it? Maybe they secretly wanted to get a cat all this time. But yeah, he's the happiest little guy and I'm so grateful.

Seriously, can you let me have her number? I'll just text her a thank you. I promise not to be weird about it.

[bearshermark]

Yeah sure. Gimme a sec.

[A minute later, Clarence gets a text with a phone number]

I'm so happy for you, though. Did you call him Cheddar, or was that his name already?

[hardtoignore]

Thanks.

I would like to think I'm more creative than that, but it's been his name so long and Phil and Kris seemed to really like it, so it's sticking around. It suits him, too. He loves to eat.

[bearshermark]

He seems to love you if he's laying all over you already. I'm glad my mom could help.

[hardtoignore]

This little ball of fluff would suck up to anyone giving him the time of day. But yeah, he's really cuddly and I swear I'm gonna die every time I hear him purr.

She was really nice. Kind of gave me the kick I needed to just talk about it with Phil and Kris. I shouldn't have been so stubborn about it before but I just didn't want to get disappointed.

[bearshermark]

Yeah, and now you have a cat that loves you. Feel free to send me pics anytime.

[hardtoignore]

That's a dangerous challenge to pose, I hope you know.

[Eleven will be getting probably about two pics a day. At least.]

[bearshermark]

I think I'll manage.

Gotta get back to class. See you after school!

[hardtoignore]

[Here you go, another pic of Cheddar lying on his back, eyes closed and looking like he's living it up.]

Okay. See you then.
