babe, i've been thinking

It always worries me a little when you lead with that. About what?

it's not my fault that there are only so little emojis you can handle before you get grumpy

so i was thinking we could have a proper, permanent house here

yours and mine

what do you think

I think the end must be near.

Because it's a brilliant idea.

A fresh fresh start.

i come up with plenty of great ideas!

like winter hotsprings

but yeah a fresh fresh start

bye bye drabwurld hello ticky-tick world with weird rooms

what if we hoped really hard for a room that's just ours?

You've gotten better.

It could've done without the eggs.

What sort of room would you be hoping for?

you don't like the eggs?

no, not me

you go first

i want it to be something the both of us have an equal say in this time

also if you let me tell you what i want we'd be in a horror setting or something

I want the skylight above the bed. And the fireplace.

And a shelf full of books that I can read to you, so my voice is the last thing you hear before you fall asleep.

[ johnny's heart skips a beat when he sees that message, and it takes him a moment to find the words; because god when jack says things like that...

he remembers the many nights he'd snoozed on his chest, lulled by that soft, smooth cadence, like silk and satin on a cool summer night. ]

i love it when you say things like that

we can look at the stars while you read to me, and i'll name them all after you

[and johnny is equally sweet and generous. jack has no doubt that he'd give him the world.]

What if they already have names?

[ johnny is so deeply, so completely in love with him that he would give jack anything he would ever want; willing to even give up his life for him. he's become a better person because of him, and sometimes he's not sure if Jack knows just how much he loves him. ]

that's silly

how can they have other names when you're the one who hung them up there in the first place?

[it takes him a few seconds to respond to that.]

You're getting good. That was much better than 'boyfriend material'.

you're harshing my romance vibe here, kitty

boyfriend material made you laugh and i am still going to count that as a victory

[ yes jack now has a new pet name ]

also i was thinking we could have a huge tv and a wii
