forty nine | private

seb
hey, chrisssss?

chris
why are you texting me, you
dumbass, i'm across the room
from you?

seb
cus it's kinda private and i
wanted to get your opinion.

chris
ohh, okay, go for it then.

seb
i'm just gonna say it because
if i don't just come out with
it i'll chicken out.

i want to get riley a promise
ring.

chris
omG SEB

seb
oh my god, it's a horrible
idea isn't it...

chris
OMG SEB ITS A GREAT
IDEA YOU FUCKWAD.
ITS THE BEST DAMN
IDEA YOUVE HAD IN
YOUR ENTIRE DAMN
LIFE

seb
oh, okay, first of all, i'm hurt.
i've had tons of great ideas.

chris
whatever helps you sleep
at night.

seb
and second, she's literally
the best person i've ever
met, like i can't even begin
to picture a life without her
and that really scares me, if
i'm being honest. i'm scared
that i'll lose her.

chris
you won't lose her, seb. she
loves you, even if she doesn't
say it.

seb
...

chris
what's the ellipsis for? did
she say something?

oH

OH MY GOD

SHE SAID IT DIDN'T SHE

seb
possibly

chris
i caN SEE THAT SMIRK SEB
SHE DID OMG SHE DID!

seb
😏

chris
anD THATS WHY YOU WANNA
GET THE PROMISE RING ITS
ALL FALLING INTO PLACE

do it, seb. that's definitely what
she needs to let herself love you.
besides, there's no harm in trying,
i guess.

seb
you guess? thanks for that vote
of confidence.

chris
dude, she loves you. what's the
worst that could happen?

seb
she says no? don't make me think
about the worst thing that could
happen damn it.

chris
she won't say no. she loves you.

seb
i mean, what if that isn't enough?
besides, the media are gonna make
a massive deal out of it and maybe
they'll make it out like i did it to hide
some secret affair.

chris
okay, now why would they do that?

seb
you've seen the press, chris. they
always make a huge deal out of
everything.

chris
but that shouldn't matter because
you two know the truth and so do
we. nobody you love is going to even
doubt you, seb.

seb
it's her birthday tomorrow. i can do
it then.

chris
have you got her a present yet?

seb
i have an idea of what i could get her.

chris
other than the promise ring?

seb
yes, other than the promise ring, you
tool.

chris
just checking ;)

seb
let's go buy the ring then.

chris
what, now?

seb
you got anything better to do?

chris
i mean, no, let's go.
