[There’s a small delay in Tommy’s reply, because he has to actually slow down and reread this text a couple times and consider whether this was a misfire.]

srsly?
what happened?

[wiccant]

Messed up everything.
I need a safe space away from them.

[ah. no question now; tommy knows exactly who billy means by them. teddy and loki. on the one hand ... #yikes. on the other ... at least billy isn’t running off to go live in cave or a makeshift treehouse in the jungle or whatever. and he’s asking tommy to stay with him. billy considers him safe. that means a hell of a lot; tommy isn’t the kind of guy people go to for something like this. sure, he lived with billy and the kaplans and teddy before, and yeah, it kinda drove him nuts, but he was one among many then. maybe this will be different, if it’s just him and billy.]

yea ofc
u got a place in mind?

[wiccant]

There's a building called the Lux.
Or we can just find normal apartments. I have enough saved for a deposit.

[expeditiousness]

ok i can go look w/u lmk when

[and as much as tommy would probably rather leave it at that, he senses billy might need to talk about whatever’s happening on the boyfriend front. he’s making an effort to reach out to tommy, after all - that means a lot. it won’t kill tommy to do a little giving in return.]

u eat yet?

[what time is it? does it matter? any time’s time to eat when you’ve got speedster metabolism.]

[wiccant]

After work?

( though it is weird to see tommy reaching out, too. not that he doesn't appreciate it; billy really does like that tommy seems more open since getting here. it means something. )

I could eat. What did you have in mind?

[expeditiousness]

sure that works

[soon, but not immediate. just in case billy changes his mind.]

anything tbh
just not trixie

[probably goes without saying.]
