[ Kalim does actually remember what he promised, this time. Once Jamil is safely resting -- and Kalim can feel how comfortably asleep he is through their pair bond -- and Kalim has taken care of the worst of the nasty old withered flesh that was still clinging to the inside of his chest hole, he goes to get his Syntrofos and call Five. ]
Hey...! [ He's speaking quietly in an attempt not to disturb Jamil. ] I talked to Jamil. You can come home.
[ When Five doesn't reply, Kalim figures he's busy and gets on with it.
"It" here being ... just kind of puttering around the apartment ... Opening the fridge; closing the fridge. Scrolling on his Syntrofos and quickly getting bored of reading people's posts. Staring out of the window. He doesn't want to disturb Jamil by going out or doing anything boisterous or loud, but Kalim really isn't a sitting quietly and reading a book kind of guy. And, well, what if Five doesn't listen to his voicemail? Kalim knows he always forgets to check those! He'd better message him just in case, he decides. ]
Hey!!! I talked to jamil everythings ok! You can come home now 😚 Jamil said its all fine as long as we dont make out right in front of him LOL Hes asleep now though I dont know if it counts as in front of him if hes asleep inside my head??? I guess it depends on if he wakes up I think i should be able to tell if hes gonna wake up though cuz our imprint got really crazy Like i can feel that hes sleeping all cosy right now its pretty cute! Its kind of making me sleepy too actually....but i probably shouldnt lie down bcus itll make him fall over Anyway thank you for letting us talk it over im sorry you had to leave so we could do that 🥺 Ill do something nice for you when you get back to make up for it! What do you want?
Hey, sorry, I was busy checking in on Four I'm not backreading all of that though lol You want to do something nice for me you can start by giving me the abridged-abridged version
Ah, wonderful. Then I will mosey my way back there presently.
[He did actually back-read all of that, though; he was just making Kalim start over because he's still kind of mad and felt like being a petty little bitch. A truth which is pretty clearly hinted at when he suddenly adds,]
wait what the hell do you mean he's *inside your head*
[ "Pretty clearly hinted at" not as far as Kalim is concerned it's not! If the contradiction registers to him at all he doesn't acknowledge it. Maybe Five just decided to backread afterwards :) ]
Yay see you soon!
Oh you know the lid on the back of my head! Hes a snake right now and hes inside there Its a little bit weird but its cosy!!
[Siiiiiiiiiiiigh. A lot of the time he actually loves how brainless Kalim can be? He's so non-threatening, it makes him relaxing for Five to be around. Situations like this, though, can become a trial as a result...]
Is there ANY chance of us getting to spend any time together with just the two of us? Like, *at all*?
[That's valid, maybe? But also really not helping much with the feeling that he's kind of second priority on a list of two, here. He just spent! Multiple weeks! Being worried about you! And lingering around the apartment by himself! And for WHAT.]
Uh huh
Well, thanks for letting me know. I'll head back at some point.
[Maybe. In like a week. Or however long it takes for him to feel like Kalim's been punished enough. OR until he gets tired of wandering around and decides he wants to come home for his own purposes.]
:( Im sorry Its not like i dont want to I really really want to just see you and hug you and stuff too though.
[ Kalim hesitates. He types 'Do you not want to?' and then deletes it. Then he types 'Its fine if you dont want to do any of that!' and adds a cheerful emoji, and then deletes that too. ]
[That's... Actually what Five really wants, too. But for some reason, he was under the impression that ALL of that was off the table for the foreseeable future...? Was he mistaken in that?]
[Five scrolls back up to reread Kalim's previous messages. REALLY tries to think hard about the conversation they had before he left the apartment.
...
Did he...? Possibly... Blow this whole thing out of proportion, a bit? He thought Jamil was pissed about them even just touching, but Kalim DID specifically say "making out". Did they reach some kind of compromise?]
[But seriously, WAS it unreasonable for him to have assumed that ALL touching/cuddling/kissing was off the table? He didn't think it was! But he has no one to ask for a third opinion on this, like what's he going to do?? Be honest with Kalim about the misunderstanding and ask clarifying questions? Explain the whole mess to Four? Hell no.]
[God dammit. Fine. Here's what he's going to do: he's going to sacrifice his right to continue being pissed off about this potential miscommunication, in favor of getting to go home and receive sweet sweet imprint cuddles. And he is NOT going to admit to ANY confusion, misunderstanding, or over-dramatic bitch behavior on his own part.
Nor is he going to let on how badly he also wants this.]
Fine, you win. I'll be back in like... An hour. Gotta wrap up here first.

Okay!
[ Hmmm. Feels bad! After another five minutes Kalim restlessly picks up his syntrofos again. ]
Did you want to kiss really badly?
no subject
I was by myself for like, an entire week.
[Hopefully that math is simple enough that even Kalim can solve it.]

Its not like i dont want to
I really really want to just see you and hug you and stuff too though.
