[DUMB SMIRK FTW]

[element_wizard]

[Grins back and a kiss on the cheek ]

You look far too pleased with youself.

[ashes_ascended]

[And he'll snatch a hug whenever he can too. So Alec will get one of those.]

I got a lot to be pleased about. So do you, I guess?

[More smirkage.]

[element_wizard]

The hug is returned be before Alec stared up at the sky for a moment.

"Yes. I think so," he said with his own pleased smirk. "Though I have a feeling I might end up regretting it."

[janee]

Six months?

[element_wizard]

Since I decided to move in with Phoenix and Vahl.

[janee]

Oh! Congratulations!

[element_wizard]

Thank you! I was looking through some stuff and just noticed it.

A lot of crazy shit's happened since then.

[ashes_ascended]

"Uhh, yeah, if it's any consolation, Vahl still has that effect on me."

Excuse him. He's kind of beside himself over this. In a really good way.

[element_wizard]

Hopefully a good way! It'd be rotten if it wasn't and then Alec would be sads.

"I know. I've seen his effect on you. It's as hard to miss as snow on the ground."

[blue_blazes]

Congrats. [He doesn't know what for but seems the thing to say?]

[element_wizard]

[It is the thing to say!]

Thank you. Though I'm not sure I should actually count all of it since Vahl got ...kidnapped a few days after I decided to move in.

[blue_blazes]

Dude, no. Take whatever victory you can get.

[element_wizard]

Heh. I'll do that.

I'm just pleased that we didn't end up trying to kill each other.

[ashes_ascended]

It's great for him. He was a bit of a wreck for a while, worrying about whether or not one of them would kill the other. And of course he's just had a really blissful couple of days with his own version of Alec.

Life is good.

"Yeah, like you don't turn tomato-red whenever he does that... thing."

[element_wizard]

Alec wouldn't have killed Vahl. That'd be rude for starters... Alec's older self is definitely enjoying it, especially since it means that he and Phoenix get to spend a bit more time together whenever Vahl feels like monopolizing Alec. Perhaps stealing him away some of the nights that Vahl has Alec. Something to think about. Something to talk to him about.

In any case life is very good.

And that is Alec totally not turning bright tomato-red. "I don't know what you're talking about."

[blue_blazes]

I dunno. Girl I dated before Janie tried to kill me a bunch of times. Totally still worth it.

[janee]

It has, but all of you are still here. You're happy and it's berries.

[element_wizard]

You know, most people take 'someone trying to kill me' as a sign that maybe the relationship isn't working.

[element_wizard]

You're still here, too, don't forget it.

I am happy. [Seems a bit surprised at this.]

Berries?

[janee]

Berries. It means everything good and nice. It's something I heard when I was young and it stuck with me.

[element_wizard]

I've never heard of that before. It sounds cool.

[janee]

I think it's from Earth in the nineteen twenties. I spent a lot of time in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

[blue_blazes]

Naw. That's just how Gamora does things.

[element_wizard]

Has she thought about therapy? I'm not sure that's healthy.

[Not that he can talk. ..]

[blue_blazes]

Alien. Girls go by different rules out there in space.

[element_wizard]

I spent a little time in the twenties.

[element_wizard]

[He grins and points to himself. ]

I'm an alien. And I'd say the same about my sister.

[janee]

Did we meet?

[element_wizard]

No. Different realities and different mes.

[janee]

I don't think I met any of you, other than Phoenix when I was really young. Or I haven't yet. Sometimes things change.

phone tags are my life T_T

[blue_blazes]

So I'm right, is what you're saying.

Such annoying things

[element_wizard]

...

Possibly.

It depends on if my sister is around or not.

[element_wizard]

I've known Phoenix since I was eight. Is that older than when you met him?

[janee]

It's about the same age, I think. I was eight when I met most of the people, but he was older. All of you were.

[element_wizard]

[He laughed.]

Timelines can be so confusing, can't they?

[janee]

They are! [She laughs too]

Sometimes I just pretend that I know what I'm doing.

[element_wizard]

I always pretend like I know what I'm doing. It's a total lie, but that's what I do.

[janee]

I knew I liked you for a reason! I'm glad we're friends.

[element_wizard]

Me too. Life would be a lot more boring without you.

[janee]

I feel the same way about you!

Hey, we should watch those movies when you guys get back.
