I see you're no fun, as well. :(

Hey, I was just kidding. If there's anyone I don't mind looking at those pictures, it's you.

Good. Because I wasn't planning on stopping.

I mean, if I can't enjoy in it person, might as well have a substitute.

I had a feeling you weren't.

[ unrepentant little shit. ]

Sorry :( As soon as I'm back in town you can enjoy it in person all you want.

[ Yeah, and??? ]

I can pretend and say I stopped. Who puts such filth on the internet, et cetera.

It's okay. Nothing to apologize for. Duty calls or whatever.

[ he could feel at least a little bad. ]

Not that I would believe you for a second.

Yeah, well I'm hoping we can wrap it up soon. I'm not good at the sitting and waiting part.

[ Does he know TJ? ]

I can be really convincing when I want to be.

Sounds boring. Do you have much longer?

Can I keep you entertained while you have time? ;)

[ yeah but he can dream. ]

Depends on how fast we can track down the guy's location, if he doesn't give himself away first.

Possibly. [ definitely. ] What'd you have in mind?

[ Does he want to dream about that, though? ]

Lame. Hope it's soon.

[ Read: he's bored and might miss him a tiny bit. ]

Anyway. I don't know. Any number of things. I can talk about foreign trade or something mundane.

[ maybe sometimes. for the most part, no. ]

Me too.

[ read: he misses tj right back. ]

Maybe I'm still bad at this, but I think the winking face was implying something not mundane.

Are you by yourself?

Yeah. For now.

[ One picture comes in of TJ's mouth—of which he's biting his bottom lip—and neck. From the looks of it, it's possible he doesn't have a shirt on.

The next one confirms that he is, in fact, not wearing a shirt. ]

[ if steve was missing tj before, it's nothing compared to how he's missing him now. there aren't words to describe how badly he wants to be the one doing the biting in the first picture, but he still finds himself smiling as he taps out a response. there's about a minute's delay, which says everything steve's not. ]

Not cold, are you?

[ Yeah, yeah. He definitely gets that. ]

Yeah. Freezing. Any ideas on how to warm up?

[ he doesn't respond with the first extremely cheesy thing that comes to mind, but he definitely thinks about how much he wants to pull tj to him, wrap him in his arms and warm him up that way. that's not the game they're playing here. ]

A few.

[ a pause while he imagines it, the things he'd do—to tj—to achieve his next suggestion. ]

Helps to get your heart rate up.
