text;

[bolincredible]

oh i don't have anyone from home here, dude, they won't even BE looking.
still, you know, noted!
don't hurt your brother, you've got the dirt. i'm touched that you trust me!

Re: text;

[neonleon]

yeah this is leo
my bro don
you and him huh

Re: text;

[bolincredible]

leo! hey! how's it going, man? wow, that's like a crazy small world thing, i had no idea you guys were brothers!
(i'm still working on that thirteen thing, just for the record. totally on my list.)

yeah, me and him! it's great, right?

Re: text;

[neonleon]

yeah were twins

[No you are not you dumbass.]

take ur time shes not goin anywhere we got all the time ever

[Until she decides Bolin is too pure and good and yeets him from this timeline and then Leo has to deal with both a heartbroken twin AND his own resentment at daring to make friends again only to lose them, it keeps happening]

we will see
but kno this
if anything happens
im on ur side and he prob had it coming

Re: text;

[bolincredible]

huh... my last girlfriend had a twin brother, too. weird. thanks for not also going on the date with us.
it's a low bar, but i think it's a really important one to clear.

[ starts brain conspiracy string board about eska and donnie and apparently having SUCH a specific type. rip. ]

i guess it IS always "we will see" with dating. i've just got a good feeling about this one! like there's really a connection here, you know?
which is not a no to your future support. never know when you'll need the weight of royalty on your side!

Re: text;

[neonleon]

[Oh my god Bolin has a type. And it's insane twins. Holy shit.]

ur right that IS a low important bar [And no one has to know he was there.]

hes hard to make a connection with so ill trust u on that
but its true
ill always be there tho
ready and waiting when u need

Re: text;

[bolincredible]

thanks, i always love being right.

[ it does NOT happen regularly. ]

i'd say it's a shame my brother's not here to balance out the dirt dishing, buuuuuut mako's not much of a social butterfly anyway.
we're rebuilding his fun tolerance, you understand.

text - post rue disappearance

[semilethal]

I won't be able to attend our scheduled romantic outing tomorrow

[bolincredible]

got it. i probably won't attend it either, then. we can always reschedule!

is everything okay?
i mean not to be weird about it or anything, but that message was really...
unpunctuated.

[semilethal]

[This text traits a little more time to be returned than usual]

My adoptive mother is gone

So I'm otherwise engaged

[bolincredible]

oh man, of course you'd be occupied. i'm so sorry.
take all the time you need!
i know it's

[ hm. okay. he can't act like it's exactly the same or that he knows exactly what it all is. but. you wake up one day and you have no parents in the same world all of a sudden?

bolin can approximate. ]

well. i know it's probably a lot of things, and they all hurt. if you guys need anything, i'll be there.
or over here, if the thing you need is space.

[semilethal]

[Literally no idea what to do with all of that, but]

This happens often here

People just disappearing without warning

You should give some thought to whether or not you'd still like to go out with me, or anyone you aren't sure you'll ever see again

[bolincredible]

[ it's bolin's turn to have a brief pause before answering. he has to gather his philosophies and rare earthbender directness. ]

mako and i lost our parents a long time ago. it was just the two of us trying to get by for a long time.
you can never be sure if you'll see ANYONE again. even someone from your own world. people come and go all the time.
that's why i think it's so important to put myself out there! even if it doesn't always work out.
nobody wants to wake up one morning and realize they'll never get to say something they were feeling or wanted to say. it's easier to just say it.

so i like you. i still want to go out with you. i don't really need to think about it.

if your mom disappearing is making you realize YOU actually need to think about dating someone here before this gets too serious... you know that's totally fine, right?

[semilethal]

[Wait a minute.

Wait a minute no, that's not what he]

> voice

[semilethal]

Apologies for calling instead, I've been told I have an abrasive tone in text and I was concerned that my meaning would have been lost even though I know I don't typically emote overly much with auditory communication either- [He's losing the plot.]

I mean, no. That's not what I meant.

[semilethal]

[Eugh. Ugh. Augh.]

I think.

[semilethal]

Not tomorrow, but.

I want to continue spending time with you. I enjoy the time I spend with you. ...and it's been a really long time since I've enjoyed spending time with other people.

I don't know if that's what you're looking for, but I don't want to lose that. [The time they spend together.] I just know that sometimes people who are new here might not...understand how...ephemeral it can be.

text - OTDF (only text donnie forever)

[semilethal]

I need you to come by my super secret turtle lair and meet my best friend before we are allowed to date again

[And Donnie, like last time, sends a little drone to collect Bolin]

[bolincredible]

YES okay i'm so there babe! i love proving myself!

[ Like that's ever been in doubt. Be real. Anyway LOCAL EARTHBENDER IS EN ROUTE STEEL YOURSELVES WHILE YE MAY ]

[semilethal]

Take your time apparently said best friend has to gear up for battle

In fact
She already knows you're handsome because I showed her your video post
But it couldn't hurt to be more handsome
Wear something that accentuates your shoulders

[bolincredible]

is no sleeves trying too hard? that's probably trying too hard, right?

[semilethal]

Unsure
Send pic

[bolincredible]

[ Pic incoming as requested. It's just a black tank top so I'm not google imaging for reference tho. Bolin doesn't usually think about accentuating his shoulders, he thinks about the overall gun show.

But he assumes this means Donnie likes his shoulders, so. :) ]

[semilethal]

MMMMMM still unsure

Please send flexing pic
