Are you texting me right now? Hahaha!
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 09, 2020, 04:21 PM
This is the only way to get you for more than 3 minutes 😭
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 09, 2020, 04:23 PM
Yeah... I don't know what happened but this thing has blown up...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 09, 2020, 04:26 PM
I don't think you ever foresaw this in your visions huh?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 09, 2020, 05:15 PM
I can't say I did.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 09, 2020, 05:17 PM
Oh well
We did have all those other lives to be alone together...

We can sacrifice one for the people we love. :)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 09, 2020, 06:41 PM
We do love them.
But if they love us they'll let us have some time to ourselves.


Eventually....
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 09, 2020, 06:43 PM
Is it because we're new? They can't get enough of us? It's our honeymoon period with everyone here! Hahaha
We have to wait until they get tired of us...

But I'll never get tired of you Jack. :) Not in a million lifetimes.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 09, 2020, 07:03 PM
Maybe. Haha!

They need lives of their own. And honeymoons of their own.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 09, 2020, 07:04 PM
It seems like they're honeymooning with us...

Also you know you're extremely distracting
When you look at me like that

*looks at him from across the courtyard*

Put those eyes away, Prince Jack
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 09, 2020, 07:18 PM
I can't help it.
Do you want me to stop looking at you?
Hm?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 09, 2020, 07:23 PM
If you can't help it, then how can you also stop? :P
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 09, 2020, 08:58 PM
I could stop looking at you.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 09, 2020, 10:01 PM
Hm.

*waves and smiles at him from across the way*

😋
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 09, 2020, 11:22 PM
But you know I can't.  :kissu:
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 09, 2020, 11:49 PM
Haha I can't either

Can't stop looking at you, not
Not at myself
That sounded very bad

...you know what I meant!

*hides behind tree*
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 12:05 AM
Hahaha!
Oh I knew what you meant. I've seen you posing.

/he knows damn well he doesn't lmao/

I miss you.
All the way over there.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 12:12 AM
I
No I'm not
I don't, really I
don't pose...

*pokes head out from behind the tree*

I miss you too
But if I go over there, we won't get anything done
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 06:48 AM
That was flirting, Smith.

And I know but what if I don't care if we don't get anything done?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 06:52 AM
I
Knew that
I was testing you
To see if you knew
Ripley

*hides behind tree again* 😳

Certain other people might be disappointed though...
Certain people who don't seem to like you talking to Ken
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 06:58 AM
Who, Niall? Is he the only one still wanting to play? :3
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 07:00 AM
I think Raf also wanted to play haha
And maybe me... :P

Wonder if he's doing all right with Rhys
Should we go check on them?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 08:36 AM
You think they've killed each other or something? D:
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 08:39 AM
It's been awfully quiet...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 08:40 AM
.......
Maybe you should take a look.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 08:44 AM
Yeah

I'd hate to see Raf heartbroken again, or Rhys hurt

Poor things, it's not easy to be young and in love, is it?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 08:47 AM
It's not easy being 30 and in love.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 08:49 AM
Haha that's quite true but knowing that we've already made this work before helps take the edge off

I guess it's not quite so easy for anyone. I used to think I'd never find my soul mate and then

One day you literally fell out of the sky 😊
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 08:51 AM
I did not. I walked into your school like a queen and you couldn't take your eyes off me. ;)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 08:54 AM
Ah
I

No that's true you did walk in like you owned the school

I didn't think you'd even noticed me haha
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 08:56 AM
That's because I didn't want you to.
Remember, I didn't want a relationship.
For obvious reasons that aren't a thing anymore.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 09:01 AM
I'm sorry you had to carry that with you for so long Jack

You're not having any more blackouts are you? The nightmares? Are they still bad?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 09:15 AM
No blackouts!

I'm not sure if I'll ever not have nightmares, it's kinda stuck with me.
But they're more bearable
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 09:16 AM
I'm so sorry

If only I was stronger or if I knew more about closing off your dreams to him...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 09:24 AM
It's okay, B.
I think I'd be more worried if it didn't bother me, you know?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 09:31 AM
But you're suffering for someone else's actions.. It doesn't seem very fair to me.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 09:42 AM
No... it doesn't seem fair but what can we do about it? :(

Do you think he can still enter my dreams?
I don't know if I've properly shut him out or not, I don't know what I'm doing.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 09:49 AM
Do you think maybe
We can give their families some closure? Maybe it would ease the guilt if we could meet the families and talk to them... tell them enough to let them know that
Those young men will be avenged

I've been thinking about the dream thing
How he can dream walk like me

I think he could be one of my relatives, as weird as that is to say. Or at least part of my house in the fae kingdom.

And if I can find out more about him, I could maybe find a way to counter him. We won't know if he can still enter your dreams until he tries again but I don't want to wait for that to happen!
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 07:41 PM
I... I don't know. Doesn't that feel like a bad idea? To go up to mourning and people and tell them the truth?
They probably won't even believe it. I know I wouldn't, in their place...

You can't be related to Keith. You two couldn't be ANY more different!
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 08:24 PM
Is it better to be kept in the dark and not know who's responsible? We don't have to tell them all of it. Just enough to give thenn hope for justice being served.

We could be related by our powers.  It sounds like we share a number of similar powers. That can't be coincidence...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 08:26 PM
Well... no.

But...

I don't really...
I just want to leave it behind me.

And maybe you are, but do you really want to know that?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 08:30 PM
How will you leave it behind you when you keep having nightmares? That's what we're talking about here right? Getting to the root of them?

If he's part of my house
If he's related to me

It's my duty to stop him. I'm responsible for keeping him from hurting others.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 08:43 PM
I don't know, B. I don't like it.

I don't like any of it.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 08:46 PM
I know Jack. I don't like it any more than you do but this

It's not going away on it's own. We'll have to deal with it eventually if any of us want to move on and have a chance at a normal life.

I want a family with you. I want what's in that vision to come true, but we can't have it with all of this hanging over our heads.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 09:14 PM
You sure? Because I think we could get away with just ignoring it...

/knows that it's not the way but damn it, no/
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 09:18 PM
I know you don't actually think that Jack

Let's face it. We're the adults in this daycare. We have to lead by example now.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 09:22 PM
...It really sucks, doesn't it?
Having to be an adult.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 09:23 PM
It does suck...

But there are certain perks, too. ;)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 09:49 PM
I'd like to hear more...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 09:52 PM
You can organize your own game nights with all your friends and stay up as late as you want!
On a week day!
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 09:54 PM
Hm

Not what I had in mind, Brayden.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 10:00 PM
That was a joke! :P

I know what you had in mind
More of what we did earlier when we were alone ;)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 10:04 PM
I mean, it's one of the biggest perks of being an adult.

Can't really think of a better one.
Not that you have to be an adult but it's definitely better as an adult.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 10:11 PM
Being honest here
I know it's going to make me sound lame but
I don't think I'd like it half as much if it wasn't with someone I loved.

...
Do you miss
Your old lifestyle? I know you went to bars and clubs a lot. Game nights aren't as exciting, are they?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 10:29 PM
You don't sound lame.
You sound like you.

And not really, no?
I mean, every now and then
but more like in that wistful way an old man thinks about stuff he did when he was young

It's definitely lost its appeal these days.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 10:33 PM
I'm pretty lame, I know it.

I've never been out to a club here in town
I know, not surprising. Haha

Marge was talking about taking me to hers some time
Um
Just wondering
Would it be weird for us to go
Together?
I mean you and me, not
Me and Marge

/babbling
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 10:35 PM
Oh my baby wants to go clubbing with me!
I think I might cry.

Let's do it!
And if you don't like it, we get to go home together. Or somewhere else. ;)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 10:40 PM
Haha it's nothing to cry about...

What do people do in clubs? Is there some kind of
Etiquette involved?
Do I have to dress a certain way or...?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 10:44 PM
That
was a joke.

Oh, I can dress you if you like.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 10:47 PM
It was. It was a joke.
I'm too lame to understand your jokes Jack, you'll have to just give up flirting with me forever. :(

Also what if I don't drink? Everyone else there will be drinking right?
And dancing?
Oh god we'd have to dance... I haven't danced since 8th grade...

*PANIC STATIONS*
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 10:53 PM
Ummm B
What exactly do you want to do
If you don't want to dance or drink?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 10:55 PM
I don't
Know

I don't not want to drink and dance
But the last time I drank...

And I might
Step on you if we dance

I guess I just wanted to see what it's like there
What made you like it
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 10:59 PM
I like it because I'm an outgoing dandy with a love of alcohol and bad decisions.

Also, it's always been a good distraction for the things I don't want to think about.
But you have me pretty distracted single-handedly ;)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 11:05 PM
Really?

Even if I'm lame and don't get your jokes?
And can't flirt to save my own life?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 11:33 PM
I can flirt enough to save both of us. ;)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 11:35 PM
Maybe there's a book or
Some kind of tutorial on how to flirt...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 11:49 PM
And that is such a you thing to say.

My dear, you can't just study how to flirt.
It either comes naturally or it doesn't.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 11:50 PM
But Jack

There are books!
And audiobooks! I can listen to them while I'm catching up on paperwork...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 10, 2020, 11:51 PM
I am curious what you'll do with whatever information you find...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 10, 2020, 11:52 PM
Um
You know, I'd obviously




Use it
On

On you
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 07:26 AM
I know.

And that's what makes me curious.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 07:54 AM
I guess I could practice on somebody first...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 08:00 AM
Oh?
And who are you planning to practice on?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 08:01 AM
Um
There are people

Allie
Marge
Maybe one of your brothers

...the nerd in the mirror...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 08:24 AM
Which one of my brothers?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 08:25 AM
*think think think*

Probably Niall

(Because he'd be the most unfailingly honest. lmao Raf would talk him up even if he sucked balls!)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 08:35 AM
I can see it.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 08:36 AM
See
Me flirting with Niall??
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 09:20 AM
He's more like me than the other one.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 09:35 AM
Really?
I think you both like alcohol a little too much but

Honestly neither of them are quite like you, except for the hair and eyes

You're not nearly as much of a drama queen as Niall haha
And Rhys isn't emotionally mature like you've become

Although he and Raf are getting along quite well...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 10:56 AM
Ooh you've been thinking about this a lot haven't you?

Did you walk in on them? ;)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 11:03 AM
Some
Mostly just
Trying not to think about you, because... well

They were hugging, nothing racy!
With all these couples around, I'm sure we're not the only ones suffering though
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 11:09 AM
If we're all suffering then why are we doing this? 🤦‍♂️
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 11:11 AM
For safety I suppose. If we're all scattered, it's harder to protect any one of us, in case Keith comes calling.

Or your father...

Jack I've been thinking
If we can't have time alone during the daytime, what about when we sleep?
I can dream walk...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 01:08 PM
You can do that?

Well of course you can.
You want to give it a try?
Tonight?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 01:19 PM
Yes! Tonight we'll go to bed early and I'll slip into your dreams

Any requests? I can create any setting for us :)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 02:43 PM
Surprise me. ;)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 03:10 PM
What if I make it a
Club scene? Haha
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 03:27 PM
Oh I see, a way to go to the club without actually going.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 03:30 PM
Let's call it a test run before the real thing :)

And if it doesn't go well, we can always switch to something else
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 03:43 PM
You always have a plan for everything, don't you?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 03:46 PM
Not everything, I just
Like to be prepared

I don't do spontaneous very well
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 03:54 PM
Believe me, I've noticed.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 03:56 PM
...I'm sure there's a book for that too

I'll add it to my reading list
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 03:58 PM
You know, you don't need books to learn these things.
You have a boyfriend
Who knows all kinds of things
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 04:00 PM
Yes but

I don't want you to get frustrated with how slow I am and
There's so much I still have to learn to not be so
Me all the time
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 04:06 PM
I'm not in love with some other guy though.
I'm in love with you.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 04:10 PM
I know that
I know and I'm crazy in love with you too Jack


It's just that you know when you're dating someone, you want to show all the best sides of yourself?
I feel like I've only shown you
The nerdy card game guy who doesn't drink and can't dance

And you
You blow me away just by
Existing
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 04:13 PM
You're not going to believe me when I say this, but
Brayden, that's how I feel about you.

I still feel like I don't deserve you sometimes.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 04:16 PM
What? How can you say that?
You deserve everything after what you've been through

You deserve more
Sometimes I feel that I'm not good enough
Or that I can't keep up with you and I want to but I'm so
Me
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 04:18 PM
Haha... I told you.

But it's just a voice in our heads.
We deserve each other, you have nothing to prove to me.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 04:20 PM
Yeah... yeah we do.

With all those other lives though, it's hard to not feel like we have a lot to live up to. But I guess that's the lack of confidence talking haha
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 04:23 PM
We don't even have to live up to any of that.
We're here and now, right?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 04:27 PM
...right. We're living this life
Not those other lives

We didn't always make it in some of them, did we?
There were a few...

Why do you think our fates loop like this? Is there something deeper going on?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 05:49 PM
Do you think it's a bad thing?
A punishment for something?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 05:57 PM
Or maybe we're supposed to do something

Something we haven't been able to get done all those other times?

Although
This doesn't feel like punishment, living out a hundred lifetimes with you
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 06:01 PM
Maybe we hated each other once! ;)

What do you think we're not doing right?

Oh there was one! We were on a battlefield, on opposite sides!
But I think even then... secretly we loved one another.

Maybe it's nothing we did wrong, just something we haven't managed to achieve? A task of some kind...

Or what if
It's a reward?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 06:16 PM
You've been giving THIS a lot of thought, too, haven't you?
Haha!

I wonder if could see more if I tried.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 06:22 PM
Overthinking is what I do best
It's like
My totally lame superpower 😋

Maybe you can try focusing on a small number of past lives instead of all of them? I mean go through them a few at a time to see what they have in common with our lives right now?

That could tell us if we're on the right track or not.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 07:05 PM
How? The only time I did it...
Well, you know.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 07:19 PM
That time we were both unprepared. It's not going to be like that every time, trust me.

Think of it like flipping through a book. Last time you just flipped through all the pages at once, and that's why we were overwhelmed.
You can imagine it like turning each page
And each page is one of our lives
If you focus on the individual page, you should be able to navigate through the vision, like you're reading the page
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 07:20 PM
I wonder if I have to start meditating again...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 07:23 PM
It definitely doesn't hurt to clear your mind before doing it.

I can help block out all the sounds around you with my abilities. :) That might make it easier to center yourself. And then when you slip into a vision, I can follow you and join you.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 07:37 PM
Look at us!
We're a team. :)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 07:46 PM
We're learning as we go along, aren't we?

Everything happened so suddenly that we never got the chance to do things the right way...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 09:00 PM
Haha!
Well, the right way's for conventional people
And we are definitely not that.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 11, 2020, 09:03 PM
That's true...
But it would be nice to have one date that doesn't end in public embarrassment or
Near-death. :\
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 11, 2020, 10:05 PM
We'll have hundreds of those.
Promise.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 12, 2020, 07:02 AM
I'm holding you to that promise!

Does it feel like we're doing everything backwards? Haha
We had all those lives together, then we met here, became boyfriends and only now are we having real dates
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 07:18 AM
Is this our last go around?
It sounds like a bookend...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 12, 2020, 07:21 AM
It might be. This might be the time we get it right...

Is it bad a part of me hopes not? I
Feel weird thinking about this life being the last one we'll have together
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 08:56 AM
Yeah me too.
It kinda makes me feel a little
sick
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 12, 2020, 09:01 AM
Maybe we'll
Be together forever in the afterlife after this

Maybe we're earning our angel wings, doing this. :)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 09:03 AM
Haha
I can count on you to see it in the most positive light somehow
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 12, 2020, 09:06 AM
😊 I get that from my mother. She always said there's good even in the bad. You just have to look for it.

And when you find it
You hold on to it
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 09:31 AM
I wish I could have met her properly...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 12, 2020, 09:35 AM
I suppose in a way
You met her through me

Haha that sounds almost vain but
People always said we're almost identical

Except I'm a man but
You know, personality wise
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 09:37 AM
What did you get from your father?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 12, 2020, 09:40 AM
The ability to cry

To know that it's okay to feel and to express every emotion, but especially
Sadness
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 09:42 AM
Was he a sad person? :(

Makes me wonder what I got from my father, other than visions.
Do you think he has visions too?
Shit, that would suck.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 12, 2020, 09:49 AM
Yes, he was. I think it was because of my mother...
I don't know for sure but I think she might have been in love with someone else. She loved him too, and me, but there was someone else in her heart...

I'm not sure if he has visions. He may. We should ask if any of your brothers have them, then we can know for sure.

And if you inherited anything bad from your father, Jack, I don't see it at all. All I see is a warm, kind, outgoing, generous, beautiful man. :)

Not biased or anything haha
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 10:07 AM
That's heavy...
I guess it would be like meeting you and settling for somebody else.

If he does have visions he should have seen all this coming, you'd think!
But I didn't get them from my mother...

You are so biased
But I don't mind
I'm biased too
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 12, 2020, 10:15 AM
Yes, it's heavy and sad. But she always did her best for us.
Sometimes I guess the person you love the most isn't the best person for you. We're lucky we're not like that though!

Being fallen might have warped his fae abilities. He might not see things the way you see them.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 10:36 AM
I don't doubt that.

Hey 👋

We complement each other. ;)

Well either way, I'll get better at it
And maybe it'll help us
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 12, 2020, 10:42 AM
We are literally soul mates! Our souls followed each other in every life, there's no better proof than that.

I'm sure you'll master it in no time. You're a prince! Your power is far stronger than any other fae.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 03:37 PM
Hm.
So that's what it means to be a prince, is it?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 12, 2020, 03:59 PM
Yes, being royal means you're stronger than everyone else. We're meant to use our powers to help people and to look after them though.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 05:51 PM
You mean, we're not supposed to just chill at home and throw wild parties?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 12, 2020, 06:36 PM
Haha that sounds like something Margie would say! 

I think there were balls and festivals. Do those count?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 07:53 PM
Somehow... I don't think so.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you

Is that what you want?

To stay home and throw wild parties?

No...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 12, 2020, 08:59 PM
Does that actually mean yes? :P
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 09:51 PM
No, I really don't. There's better things to do at home. ;)

And what might those things be? ;)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 10:47 PM
Honestly, right now, I'd just love to cuddle in bed with some tea and a movie.

Could we also have
Popcorn?

Of course, B.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you

I'd love to have a movie night with you...

But that would make us the lamest princes in the kingdom haha
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 11:07 PM
When it's safe again, I want to go stargazing with you again.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 12, 2020, 11:16 PM
Me too. Just you and me up on the ridge with some soup and a blanket.

I want to go to the festival with you too.
I want to go buy groceries together so we can make dinner together.
And take walks in the park.
Swim in the lake under the moonlight...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 11:26 PM
Those are all things we are definitely doing.

And for the last one, we're doing it naked. ;)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 12, 2020, 11:28 PM
You mean
Skinny dipping?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 11:29 PM
Uh yes.
That's a small town tradition, isn't it?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 12, 2020, 11:31 PM
Is it?
Maybe I'm not the right person to ask...

Kids did it when I was a teenager but I never went along with them.
That probably isn't surprising news is it? Haha
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 12, 2020, 11:36 PM
While not surprising, it is sad. :(

Although
Do you know how many firsts I still get to experience with you?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 12, 2020, 11:42 PM
It's okay, I did it to myself. I was a very health-conscious child.
...I was really paranoid about keeping clean and I thought the lake would be filled with germs...

What other firsts do we have? I was the first person you went stargazing with... right?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 13, 2020, 08:23 AM
I thought I was invincible as a kid.
You name it and I proooobably did it...

Except no. You're right. I never went stargazing.
Unless you count looking at shooting stars and fireflies out the window as stargazing.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 13, 2020, 08:40 AM
We could not have been more different haha! Did you go skinny dipping as a kid?

Have your opinions on shooting stars changed?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 13, 2020, 08:50 AM
No actually. Not really anywhere in the neighborhood for that kind of thing
So I lied. You can name plenty of things I didn't do 😆

I don't think I had an opinion on stargazing before
But I love doing it with you 💕
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 13, 2020, 09:01 AM
Haha! Maybe you're the sheltered one between us after all! 😋

I'm guessing you haven't been to a strawberry social either? Or gone to help the farmers with a harvest?

Ooh when halloween comes around we should go to the corn maze! I spent 3 hours wandering around one time, just to find out I could have just

Pushed through the walls of the maze 🤦‍♂️
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 13, 2020, 09:36 AM
I can safely say I've done none of those things
In this lifetime anyway 😆
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 13, 2020, 09:39 AM
You're a city boy after all hahaha

Let's do all those things together. And more. Everything we missed out on, let's experience all of it together. Whether this is the last life we have together or not, let's live it to the fullest. That way we won't have any regrets

Oh

By unique you mean
Awkward right?

Oh yes, but in a charming way.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 13, 2020, 06:24 PM
The book
This book doesn't cover what happens when the other person likes the awkwardness...
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 13, 2020, 06:29 PM
What DOES it say about awkwardness?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 13, 2020, 06:47 PM
It says awkwardness is a sign of insecurity
And that I need to approach every encounter with confidence, knowing that the other person might be as nervous as I am

...are you nervous?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 13, 2020, 06:49 PM
No, not particularly.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 13, 2020, 07:06 PM
Ah... I didn't think so.
Well this other book says that awkwardness is okay

And with practice, it'll go away

It says to practice in front of a mirror or with a friend.. I was going to do that anyway. Hmm

I'm not sure these books are helping much, Jack
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 13, 2020, 07:15 PM
Books don't really help with that sort of thing.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you

Awkwardness and all

weird about it.

I'm kidding there's no body. I really don't have anything shady in my past...
Except maybe the one time I took an extra pumpkin from the farmers market, but that was an accident!

I could've brought it back though... but I didn't

I'm sure they knew that, if they even noticed.

You're right. I only took one pumpkin. Nobody went out of business from one missing pumpkin and

And it made a great jack-o'-lantern! I won top prize in class for it!

I am but I'm starting to throw some things away! Books are harder to get rid of though. My dad loved them, he collected so many.

Oh I also kept that little chocolate you gave me. Haha! The Jim Beam chocolate!

Hey! It's not weird!

It's just a message like

You know things like that, like a diary of your thoughts and feelings

I get it. You've never thought of having kids before this right?

Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 15, 2020, 06:53 PM
It does get the better of me. Not as much as before.
And you've been so good to me. You give me confidence every moment that we're together.

But yes, some days I have doubts about myself.
Not you, Jack. I never doubt you.

I've always felt like I'm not good enough. And the exes I've had, they
Didn't help much.
I'm trying to move on from all of that but some days are harder than others. I'll keep working at it though!
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you

Because of what he did to you?

I won't let him near you or me again.
I'll find all the ways to keep him out.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 15, 2020, 09:26 PM

Because he

Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 15, 2020, 09:29 PM
I told you I'm working on it. I promise I am.

Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 15, 2020, 09:31 PM
I am too. I've been reading up on some things on my own, and practicing my abilities when I can.

There's no reasoning with him, is there? For him it seems like it's
All or nothing
Him or me
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 15, 2020, 09:41 PM
It IS all or nothing for him.
He was always like that, it's why we never worked out.
You know I don't like that whole... possessive vibe.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you

I don't want that
I don't want us or Marge or anyone to have to resort to that

If we could hide or
Find somewhere that he couldn't follow us to?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 15, 2020, 10:25 PM
He's always found me.
Although to be fair, I didn't know I was running from him the whole time.

Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 15, 2020, 10:47 PM
Jack

There's this book I've been reading about consciousness and
And different ways to separate and partition the mind

If we could seal up the part of your mind that holds all those memories of Keith, we might be able to block him out
It's a long shot though... It needs a lot of magic. Strong magic. I
I'm not sure if I can do it
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 16, 2020, 07:37 AM
Then don't. I don't want you getting hurt over me

Maybe I can
Just
I don't know
Talk to him
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you

Please don't

I know he's an obsessed asshole but
He's still capable of rational thought

Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 16, 2020, 07:57 AM
He's always been
Uh
Well maybe rational isn't the word
But he is really smart, B.

Also
He hates being told what to do
Or what not to do...

He was always hard to get along with if I'm honest
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 16, 2020, 07:58 AM
None of these things make it sound like talking to him is a good idea Jack...

Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 16, 2020, 08:00 AM
Yeah I'm noticing that too.

I'm more worried about him than my father

And I don't know my father

Then he'll be prepared

Don't do anything crazy
Please

Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 16, 2020, 08:16 AM
He's not a prince though. I am, and I have the responsibility of keeping people under my house in check.

He's hurting all these people, I can't let him continue unchecked.  He killed all those boys, too, someone has to bring him to justice for them!

But I won't do anything without telling you. Promise.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 16, 2020, 08:20 AM
How do we know that though?
I mean how do we know
he's not a prince?

I know
he killed those people
and I want him brought to justice too
believe me...

but not if it means losing you
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 16, 2020, 08:23 AM
I'm an only child. He can't be another prince and even if he's royal somehow, I'm the real prince.

If we don't do something to.stop him, he'll come back. And he'll try to kill me again anyway so why not mount the offensive first? Maybe surprise him for once!
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 16, 2020, 08:31 AM
I'm just curious because I don't know how all this works but
say he's a bastard son of your family
and that makes him like, less powerful than you
I get that
but what if
he's a part of two royal families?
Like you know, say a princess from one of your houses romances a prince from another house
and they make a baby, even if it's not like official
what does it make the baby?

this is all really just hypothetical
kinda
based on some things he might have said to me when I was like sixteen and didn't know what the hell he was on about
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 16, 2020, 08:40 AM
He would be a prince but his powers would be diluted, wouldn't it? I'm still a pureblood prince.
I sound like a harry potter character...
But you know what I mean.

So what you're saying is, he's
my
half-brother or cousin or something?
He's related to me in some way?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 16, 2020, 08:53 AM
Just a LITTLE bit.

So his dream walking wouldn't be as strong as yours
and his whatever he inherited from the other side wouldn't be as strong as THEIRS
but maybe he'd make a new strength
like
you know
scary fucking golems that attacked you and killed you :(

but yes, I think
he might be related to you, B

and I hope he's not related to me because that makes his whole obsession
uhhh that much weirder
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 16, 2020, 09:01 AM
Oh god
He could be the bridge between our two houses?

...do you think that's what
I mean if someone didn't want our houses to unite, they would've tried to keep us apart...

every time we
got together

if someone

...
got rid of one of us

Yeah...
A bridge...

I mean, maybe revenge for something but what would he want revenge over?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 16, 2020, 07:53 PM
Maybe he was scorned by someone

Love can make people do terrible things, don't you think?

Never. You don't have that in you.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 16, 2020, 08:04 PM
Haha well not to that extent but I might do something drastic to myself.
The point is, losing your soulmate could do terrible things and for someone who's inclined towards dramatics like

your entire family

maybe it's not a stretch to think that that could drive your father to become Fallen
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 16, 2020, 08:12 PM
It's not a stretch, I just wish he wasn't so dramatic about it.
Jeez.
There are better ways to deal with rejection or grief or whatever he's dealing with.

Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 16, 2020, 08:26 PM
Haha... well, I'm one to talk. I have my own vices.

It feels like he had a bunch of sons just to fuck with us, though, doesn't it?
That or he's the new Zeus, can't keep his dick out of anything remotely pretty, ends up with a bunch of offspring.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 16, 2020, 08:29 PM
No judgment! No judgment, I love you, vices and all. :)

Maybe he was having sons to make up for the love he lost. To fill the gap in his heart, and it just... didn't do the trick. :(
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 16, 2020, 08:38 PM
If he wanted us to love us, he sure had a shitty way of showing it...
I could have used love when I was a kid, so where was he? :/
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 16, 2020, 08:42 PM
He was not a good father, no. To any of his children.
Maybe you were right. Maybe he just wanted to experiment...

You were put into the human world
Niall was changed out for another baby
Rhys was kept with him

What's he trying to find out by doing all of this? Out of all of you, only Rhys became Fallen right? And you... found me. Niall found Ken. But even Rhys has Raf now! So what happens when he runs out of sons?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 16, 2020, 09:02 PM
I don't know.
It does feel like we were all experiments.

What did he even learn?
That we all love, too?
Just like he probably did once?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 16, 2020, 09:16 PM
Maybe he wants to learn how to love again?

What? Through watching us?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 16, 2020, 09:39 PM
Why not?

Why hasn't he kept you all with him? He could have done that easily. Why put you into these different situations and let you guys all fall in love?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 16, 2020, 09:53 PM
So he put us where he knew we'd eventually run into you guys?
There has to be an easier way to learn to love.
I mean, he would have to fuck these random women...
Wait for them to get pregnant, have babies
The babies would have to grow up...

It's a lot of trouble for... what?
I don't understand what he's doing this all for
If it's love or if it's not, it just seems like so many steps
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 16, 2020, 09:56 PM
This is giving me a headache, I won't lie
It's impossible to guess his intentions based on what little information we have

But you're right, this is far more complicated than we can even begin to fathom right now
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 16, 2020, 09:57 PM
We'll figure it out.

I could be
If I really tried!

You want to be immune to my charms? :(
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 17, 2020, 08:42 AM
Not really 😋

I am weak, we both know this haha
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 17, 2020, 08:57 AM
It's okay
Your smile makes me weak
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 17, 2020, 08:59 AM
Your smile makes everyone weak ☺

But I think your eyes are the deadliest weapons
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 17, 2020, 09:01 AM
My eyes? Really?
Do I have the smolder? 😆
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 17, 2020, 09:02 AM
Actually
you do...

They're very beautiful eyes. Probably the most beautiful I've ever seen
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 17, 2020, 09:05 AM
Oh stop
You're going to make me blush. 😚
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 17, 2020, 09:07 AM
Blush all you want! It's the truth!

Your eyes, your smile, the way you walk and talk, it's all incredibly attractive.
You're
Irresistible
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 17, 2020, 09:10 AM
You are too.
You don't even seem to notice it because you're so busy curling yourself up so small that you hope nobody will notice you.

I noticed you as soon as I saw you.
And maybe that was the soulmate business
But I think anybody smart enough to really look at you could see it
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 17, 2020, 09:12 AM
😳 Now I'm the one blushing

I know I'm not everyone's type but I'm glad I'm yours 😊
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 17, 2020, 09:14 AM
Heh.

Believe me, B when I say this.
I've met all kinds of people.
Not many are beautiful inside and out.

Not many at all.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 17, 2020, 09:18 AM
Well it's funny you say that, Jack Ripley, because that's what I think of you!

You're elegant and beautiful
Incredibly charismatic and a romantic at heart
You're our one and only Harvard grad professor!

And you have so much love in your heart

You cared about people even when you thought you were the one doing all those terrible things. You wanted to care.

You are a real prince

My prince 😌
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 17, 2020, 09:30 AM
No you're my prince. :)

All that love comes from a whole childhood of starving for it
I couldn't get enough of it
Whenever I had it I wanted to hold onto it
Even to my detriment.

You may not notice it
But you're teaching me new things every day.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 17, 2020, 09:32 AM
But you learned to love people back
All on your own
That's incredible.

So many people starved for love lash out at others. They get angry and become bitter. Not you, Jack. Your heart was too pure to let the way others treated you turn you into a hateful person. 
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 17, 2020, 02:48 PM
That's because instead of getting bitter and angry, I turn to alcohol.
Not much better, honestly.

I wish I had a pure heart like yours.
I feel like mine is battered, rather.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 17, 2020, 03:02 PM
Not better but not worse. Being bitter and angry can drive people away for good and I'm sure you would never want that.

My heart's been broken a few times in the past too, and nobody's been able to put it all back together except you.
I'm doing my best to mend yours. :) It may be battered but it still knows how to love, so there's hope yet!
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 17, 2020, 03:15 PM
I tried to push you away but it didn't work. Sad face or happy face? Because I'm happy it didn't work.

And you are.
I don't think anybody has had this much power over my heart ever.
No pressure. ;)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 17, 2020, 03:22 PM
Happy face. :) I can be pretty hard to get rid of sometimes.
Plus I don't think you really wanted me to go away. Deep down you wanted me to stay.

Your heart is my heart, Jack.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 17, 2020, 06:36 PM
...
My heart is your heart, too, Brayden.

And I never wanted you to go away.
Naively, I thought we could be friends at least.
See where that got me.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 17, 2020, 06:49 PM
We could have been friends if we weren't so crazy stupid in love with each other. Haha
But feeling the way I did about you even back then, being friends would have been a terrible, awful thing
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 18, 2020, 02:08 PM
I would've done something stupid anyway.
Get drunk, spill all the beans.
I don't think you can hold that kind of thing in for very long.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 18, 2020, 02:40 PM
As I recall you did get drunk haha
And you did spill the beans! :P
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 18, 2020, 02:48 PM
You see?
It would never work for me!
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 18, 2020, 02:53 PM
And that was when we'd just met, too!

But really even though we were strangers, we'd already had hundreds of years together. It's still so
Bizarre to think of it that way
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 18, 2020, 03:11 PM
Yeah it is.
I don't know if we're supposed to remember.
Are we? Is that a normal thing for fae?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 18, 2020, 03:25 PM
Most people don't talk about their past lives do they? Or if they do we call them crazy and lock them up.

I'm starting to think these memories were unlocked by me
Or past me or
Some version of me that left one lock open, knowing that one day we'd break through
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 18, 2020, 03:34 PM
So even this was meant to happen?
Kinda takes the fun out of life, doesn't it?
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 18, 2020, 03:36 PM
Like everything is scripted? Haha I guess

But also maybe not
Maybe past me was hoping one of
The future Braydens would figure this out, he just didn't know which one
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 18, 2020, 03:37 PM
You are. We are. We're figuring it out.
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 18, 2020, 03:38 PM
I am
The chosen Brayden 😆

That makes you my chosen Jack
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Jack Ripley on Mar 18, 2020, 03:47 PM
Well, I was always the chosen one. ;)
Title: Re: I'm a sucker for you
Post by: Brayden Smith on Mar 18, 2020, 03:56 PM
Ahhh that unbridled Harvard brand confidence! :P

You are my chosen Jack
Forever

There may be other Jacks, but my Jack is the greatest Jack of all time

Damn straight.
The us we are now will always be the best us. ;)
