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.]
no subject
