Texting~!

[dead_serious]

Technology in the reaper realm always advanced much quicker than in the mortal world. How that was possible wasn't made quite clear, but every employee would have to agree that it made the job far more tolerable and almost manageable. Before they knew it, fancy new machines were showing up in their cubicles and offices. Large ones that could transfer writing from one sheet to countless others. An extremely convenient electronic typewriter that made the organization of files far more streamlined. And now, their newest administered device which allowed them to communicate between departments and even branches without having to travel. They called it a 'cellular phone.'

I would, as well.
It may need to be a requirement, actually.
After all, it's a wonder that you'd never realised your value to me.

[dead_serious]

Honestly, I thought you just fancied me for trivial reasons. Perhaps we do need to learn more about one another.

[untodeath]

Positively not!
I would say that, yes, some of my reasoning is highly unconventional!
Even I have found myself perplexed, at times, for I've become endeared to you over every absurd little thing.
Truly, I'm head over heels!
Should I have you, I'd never be able to let go.

[dead_serious]

I assumed you were latched onto me for eternity, already.

[untodeath]

Quite❤

[ He's quiet for a bit, expecting more texts to come through. ]

Are you still awake?

[untodeath]

🤭
I was about to ask you the same!

[dead_serious]

I was simply surprised to get only a single text from you.

[untodeath]

Oh! Rude!
You delight me so.
Fine. You want more from me?
You already know I'm not going anywhere. I love you, you dolt.
Tell me what else you'd like to know.

[dead_serious]

Calling me a dolt is far ruder.
Now that you've put me on the spot, I'm unsure what to ask.
Is there anything you've wanted to tell me over the years. I am listening now.

[untodeath]

Oh, goodness.
Let me think...

Well, perhaps that, while I had fallen in love with An, my heart still ached for you.
I had hesitated to approach her.
But I had told myself that, if our friendship hit that century milestone, and you still hadn't reciprocated my love, I would attempt to move on.
And it had been a decade past that, even still.
Either way, it was a mistake.

[dead_serious]

It was in my mind, the entire time you were gone, that I was to blame for your rebellious actions. I should have came to fetch you sooner.

[untodeath]

Oh, please.
Unless it was to sweep me off my feet, then it might've just made matters worse.
Hardly your fault.

[dead_serious]

That isn't something I'd be very good at, honestly.

[untodeath]

What isn't?

[dead_serious]

Sweeping someone off their feet. In a romantic sense, that is.

[untodeath]

Oh, come now.
Have you ever tried?

[dead_serious]

No.

[untodeath]

How would you possibly know, then?

[dead_serious]

Fair enough.
Did dragging you away by your hair not do anything for you?

[untodeath]

Don't ask me questions that you don't want the answer to, darling.

[dead_serious]

Fine, then. It is your turn to ask me something.

[untodeath]

I'd like to hear your answer to the same question, actually!
Regarding untold truths, and all that.
Although, you are more than welcome to address both topics, should you wish.
I've often wondered if it's as good for you, as it is for me. 😏

[dead_serious]

[ For now, he ignores that last bit. ]

Had you never wondered why management allowed you back into Collections after all that?

[untodeath]

Well, of course.
I know they're desperate for coverage and all that, but I always thought they'd be just as content to let everyone suffer the overtime.
