[ STARES AT THOSE EMOJIS... ]

I mean if you're asking me to compare Nosha vs Sassy it's like asking me to compare grilled fish and beans

[ Maybe he's a little flustered by Cain clearly making a pass at both of them at once. Just maybe. ]

Why'd this turn back on me all of a sudden 🥱 Idt it's bad that just doesn't sound like me

[blyat]

what's wrong with beans

"like me"? lame excuse
what would you say instead then

[coherer]

( This feels correct. Playing around with them both, giving them equal attention. His soul feels settled.

His body, however... )

He's allergic to vegetables🫛

Noct I think it suits you
And not in like a jokey haha way, it's really sweet
What would my Russian and Insomnian names be?
Don't hold out on me losers

[fessus]

Well when you put it like that I'd sound like an asshole if I didn't accept it huh

Okay. Then I'm keeping the Russian one. If I were gonna give you an Insomnian one it'd be harder, prob. Your name turns into Jonasu.

I mean nasu means eggplant but it's not like that sounds cool

[ no one say a word ]

What would I say instead of sexy or what would I say as an actual nickname for you btw

[blyat]

jonasu
hahaha
🍆 it was meant to be

i meant instead of sexy
are you actually allergic or just picky about your veggies, your higness?

[coherer]

omg hell yes🍆🍆🍆
See I'm the dickhead in town lmfao
Shows what you know Nosha

I want to know nicknames for Cain too
ik your name is already super short but please this is what we're doing today

PS he's just picky
He likes chicken nuggies and fries and that's it

1/2

[fessus]

No I'm allergic and it's deadly

[ ITS OWN SEPARATE TEXT ]

2/2

[fessus]

I already showed Cain his name in Insomnian

[ happily jumping onto this topic to dodge that "sexy" question completely..... ]

It breaks up like ke-i-n. So shortening it would be K or Kei? That kind of sound

[ But that's putting a nickname on a fake name... so... ]

i can't believe i typoed highness* 1/2

[blyat]

jonasu is a little more convincing
chicken nuggies, seriously?

jonas called me "k" once too
on that cute christmas letter

2/2

[blyat]

actually
cain's not my real name

i'll tell you both what it really is later, ok?
as a surprise

[coherer]

( It takes him a moment to sort out how he feels about the lie Cain maintained even after they became sexual partners. Then friends. Then...

There's a second of disappointment, then an angry wave of self-criticism: He doesn't owe you anything; it's his name to share. This is a nice thing worth celebrating.

It's all excitement from there. He smiles, knowing that there's a great amount of trust between the three of them. That's not something just anyone comes across. And in multiple lifetimes, this is his first time relying on others outside of his family to care about him.

No, perhaps now they are family. That'd be more in line of what he feels. )

Isn't it like
Not a surprise anymore😛😛😛
And does it mean peach🍑
Because that'd the best coincidence ever

Also Ke-i-n is so cute you're not beating the "Insomnian is a cutie language" allegations
It suits you guys

[fessus]

[ Immediately he feels relief. It's better knowing they're all on the same page, and it leaves room for a genuine pride in Cain. It's not just that honesty has been hard for him, but openness too. That's something he can relate to, and witnessing him tackling it head-on feels better than he thought it could. ]

Yeah w/e I'm not hearing it at all, you're both freaks, emojis included. 🍑 = momo so you can def call him that

[ Still beating no allegations by using the world's cutest word for peach. ]

But back up

He sent you a Christmas letter too? [ wooooow Jonas, outted as adorable yet again.... ]

[blyat]

i meant my real name will be a surprise

[stop he doesn't want to talk about this too long, it's embarrassing]

wow. don't call me that.

and yeah of course he did, along with a present
really went all out on the sappiness

[coherer]

( This fucking smile won't go away, and it's beginning to hurt his face. )

Well I literally have to call you MOMO now until you tell us LOLLLLL
Especially when ik you're both trying to embarrass me and it's NOT WORKING because you're my best friends so ofc I wrote you letters and gave you gifts

Should I mention you both did the same and they were also super baby and soft??
I'm not telling you what each of you said bc that's all mine but
Just know
I could
And you two would definitely be the ones like kyaaaa noooooo Jonasu doooon't😭

[fessus]

[ Cain wrote Jonas a letter? The mental image is cuter than he wants to admit, and the only thing eclipsing his desire to see their exchanged words is his militant privacy over the ones he received which would surely then come under scrutiny. What he was sent from them is for him and him only. ]

Nice try when all I said was cool stuff I'm not ashamed of

What'd you guys give each other? Or is it a big secret

[blyat]

[crit hit to the heart...]

ugh you're both getting on my nerves

[TSUN INTENSIFIES]

he gave me that gold lighter, you already saw it
noctis gave me a model of an earth ship but it's on angelika so i can't show you, gonna have to be when we go back

[coherer]

Noct got me a compass and a sick glove, I look like you guys
Cain got me a bottle of vodka and cigarettes and a couple other things

The letters are the big secret though
They're for me
Just know they were both super sappy

I really wanna see the model ship though that's super cute Noct🤭
What kind of earth ship is it guys??
Like a boat?

[fessus]

"ugh" lol

[ Is he supposed to feel bad that the conversation topic landed on something that he didn't know he was curious about? Is he supposed to feel bad for the fact that Cain now has to pretend they're annoying him? He doesn't. ]

Earth ship is relative, we had them in Eos forever ago too. It's a ship in a bottle, an old one with big sails

You guys fr traded a lighter and cigarettes? Sounds like you both nailed it

[blyat]

yeah j showed me the compass
a glove? just one?

[So maybe he can't hide that he's interested, too. He wants to know what the letter between the two of them said with an intensity of feeling difficult to look in the eye.]

look, we know what we like

[Notices that Jonas doesn't mention the lube..........]

why, you want some? i can roll you some cigs nosha

[coherer]

Yeah like Noct's one glove except mine is cooler
I feel like I'm gonna go boxing or smth

Actually boxing might be cool
Then I could say I did self-defence stuff AND exercised
Then we could all steal away to smoke

Are we peer pressuring him Cain??😛

[fessus]

You want to box? Okay cool

Well you need to level up before you can face the master. Which means you have to box Cain first

[ Is he a cat? Or is he actually a peacock? We just don't know. ]

Nice try getting me to be a degenerate like you guys tho. Maybe I'll steal some off you two sometimes if it feels right but I'm not making it a habit or Ignis will kill me

[blyat]

you can't take my hits to the face and still say you're better than me

[BARK BARK I'M COMPETITIVE AND EASILY RILED]

what ignis doesn't know won't kill him
but fine
just bum off of us then

when are we boxing, j
i'll train you good

[coherer]

Ladies LADIES you're both pretty
You can take turns kicking the crap out of me which is what I imagine is gonna happen
RIP to my physical comfort

Actually it's not like we had any here in the desert anyway
I think I need to put on some weight though I feel like I've sweated off 50 lbs
😭
I wasn't built for this kind of climate I'm so pumped to get back to the Theorem or my ship or smth
I hate roughing it ughhhhhhhhhh

[fessus]

Yeah right you hitting me would hurt your fist worse than my face, bring it on, I'll box you first

[ But yes we are pretty, ty for noticing. ]

Want me to start sneaking more food for you? I've got some Cup Noodle too I could throw your way tbh

1/2

[blyat]

i miss angelika
so... fucking... much
better than a tent in the sand any day
