alex
have you netflixed and chilled yet?

[redhotsummers]

Uh...no?

I mean. A girl helped me set up a netflix account?

[medals]

wanna netflix and chill with me?

[redhotsummers]

Sure?

But I feel like I'm uh missing something.

Since I can't...it's hard to actually get 'chill' with me. Remember. Human electric blanket?

[medals]

not like literal chilling

like just hanging out without doing much of anything??

[redhotsummers]

[Ah.]

...I'd really like that, then.

[redhotsummers]

Uh...sure. Yeah I'd like that.

Someone is working on a suit, still, but I'd love a place to just...blast.

[medals]

the condition is that we have to cuddle and you pretend i haven't burned the popcorn

[redhotsummers]

How about we cuddle and I make the popcorn.

[medals]

sounds perfect :)

[redhotsummers]

Sounds like a not-date. :)

[medals]

the sad truth is that there would have to be chinese food for it to be a date
:'(

[redhotsummers]

I'll remember that. In case someone ever brings me chinese food. I'll know what sort of time it is.

[medals]

impromptu surprise date nights are absolutely in your future. you'll never eat chinese food again without being suspicious.

[redhotsummers]

Like anyone would want to ever date me.

[medals]

alex wtf have you looked in a mirror?

hey, you heard? charles and erik both left
guess the war's even more irrelevant here now huh
no more sides

then again, them fucking probably did that already

[redhotsummers]

Yeah?

I'm okay to look at. But that isn't going to help the massive personality defects I have.

[redhotsummers]

...

So we're the ranking mutants.

I had--

--yeah I'm going to forget you said that.

[Cause Alex had no idea. But--]

Guess we get to do what the fuck we want in our image.

Because sides are bullshit.

But less because of them--doing shit. Because they stopped caring about us.

But they're gone, and we're here. And that matters.

THAT depends how old you are
bobby and kitty could still be older
they're supposed to be my age but fuck eudio

you didn't know did you
shit
and i said it when i couldn't see your face

charles cared, more than he ever did in my time
erik i dunno
but i don't even know if I care
everything's gonna be perfect when we go back right?
with all these incentives to fix it?
what do we even do

[medals]

the grumpiness and sheepishness are cute though

[redhotsummers]

I'm almost thirty.

Charles--thing is, Charles was good at the time he was, here.

But give him the bullet in his back, and he became a drunkard and an asshole, and he let my best friend die, John.

And Erik left us.

I just--

--it's all going to change when we go back, you're right.

So what we do? We just try to be good people, or whatever. Which, given our attitudes, isn't that easy.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

what, for real?
dude you've got a younger face than me for your age
you win then, you're in charge from now on
lucky you

[It seems the uncomfortable information just never, ever stops here, not from either direction. There's a long pause between texts while he digests that, an actual bad fucking person Charles rather than one who's just so high on his own self-righteous bullshit that he can't see the truth.]

yeah well i'm always learning new shit about them
i didn't know that one about charles
makes more sense now that you'd give both sides the finger

but you're never getting a good person outta me
go find bobby if that's what you want
even if i calm down i'm never gonna be GOOD

[redhotsummers]

Considering I've only had one date in my life, experience would say otherwise.
