Someone's a romantic.

[wearefamily]

Then I must be in good company.

[neverwalkalone]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[wearefamily]

So, it was my secret sugar daddy who had a limo and dozen roses waiting for me at the airport to whisk me away to The Plaza to a room booked in your name, was it?

[neverwalkalone]

My plan was foiled when they wouldn't take my booking under Phil McCracken without a credit card in the same name.

[wearefamily]

My brothers are going to be pissed when they find out I didn't come see them the day I arrived, you know. They don't even know I'm here.

[neverwalkalone]

What they don't know won't hurt them. I want my turn first. That is, when I finish my shift. In the meantime, you can send me sexy selfies in one of those hot fluffy bathrobes.

[wearefamily]

They still think I'm desperate and dateless, you know. They never thought I'd let anyone close enough to break my drought. Ah-ha! I knew you had an ulterior motive.

[neverwalkalone]

Are you going to tell them, or do we get to keep being each other's dirty little secret? Not true! I much prefer you naked.

[wearefamily]

I'll tell them in person. I wasn't sure if they would understand the whole long-distance relationship thing. Plus, there's that thing where both our brothers work together and me being scared to date again. What a coincidence! I much prefer you naked too.

[neverwalkalone]

We were both a bit fractured on the relationship front. We commiserated together, and then... stuff happened. Stuff I liked a lot. I think we did pretty good with the distance, don't you? You're making it very hard for me not to get a boner right now.

[wearefamily]

I've become quite a fan of stuff myself. We're in the day and age of Skype, Snapchat, and Face Time. We did just fine. But now I need more. I hope you changed those Superman sheets of yours. I saw them in the background of our last Skype chat. Save that bad boy for later.

[neverwalkalone]

I might have to honour stuff in the bathroom with my right hand if you keep teasing me like t his. You don't think Superman sheets are romantic? #romancefail Just kidding. I even cleaned the toilet for you and put the seat down. Are you sure you're sure about all this, sweetheart?

[wearefamily]

You're going to start without me? Rude. Actually, I think they're adorable. They match your lucky undies. I haven't been this sure about anything in a long time. My old job became vacant again, and it seemed like kismet. I want you spooning me every night, not just once every few weeks when you fly over to see me. You're all I can think about.

[neverwalkalone]

Nah, my hands aren't nearly as talented as yours, sweetheart. I just don't want you to regret anything. It's a big step going from long-distance to moving in together, I know that. But I haven't been this happy in a long time, though. In fact, I wasn't sure it was even possible to be happy again.

[wearefamily]

I could say the same for your mouth. There is absolutely no regrets. I've never felt any anxiety or uncertainty with you. It seemed to just happen so easily. I know it wasn't easy for you to take that plunge, though. After everything you've been through.

[neverwalkalone]

Well, see, that's the thing. It was easy. I didn't think it could ever be that easy.
