Yo! I'm not in right now. Leave me a message.

((OOC: Zell may show messages to Jim Hawkins. If you do not want Jim to see/know, then please let me know.))

[It's pretty calming. Though he doesn't get why it's important to hear about the time before he joined the group.]

We have computers where I'm from, so figuring out the tablet was pretty easy. Seeing actual people on the network helped a lot. [Like certain pranking videos.]

I also found Angel and Rhys. Then joined up with Al's group for a bit. The rest of it doesn't really matter now.

[rattlingthestars]

It matters if it happened to you. If it - [ He trails off, not finishing the thought but making a quiet, wordless sound of frustration instead. ] It matters.

But I'm glad you found us. [ Zell could've so easily been one of those people he talks to on the network, runs into every few weeks, one of those names he'll eventually see pop up on the network. Instead he's here and Jim can hold him through this. ] Next time... if you wake up and I'm not here, I'll never be far away.

[swatsflies]

[Sitting up in order to actually get a look at Jim's face. Sliding his fingers through Jim's hair as he gives a small smile.] I'm glad I found you, too.

[Cupping his face as he leans down to give him a chaste kiss. Their friendship and subsequent has been pretty great. There is nothing he would change about any of it.] I know. It just takes a moment. [Especially after the shit with the tablets a few nights ago. That probably set him back, too. Set them all back.]

I'll be okay.

[rattlingthestars]

[ Jim tilts his head up to meet the kiss, keeping it chaste but lingering as long as Zell will let him.

When they part, though, he's meeting Zell's eyes again, willing him to understand what Jim means through his expression. ]

You will be. But it's ... it's alright not to be, sometimes. I think.

[swatsflies]

[Meeting his gaze and holding it for a while before moving to press a kiss against his forehead.]

Yeah....I know. [And for a reversal, he'll pat his lap.] Is it alright to keep leaning on you when I'm not?

[rattlingthestars]

[ Jim climbs into it carefully, sideways rather than straddling Zell so that he can lean his head on Zell's chest. ] Any time you need to. I can carry you.

[ Jim's afraid he's not strong enough to keep that promise, even as he makes it, but it's something he knows Zell needs and that makes him brave. ]

[swatsflies]

[Wrapping his arms around him to give a hug.] I'll be in your care. [Rubbing his face against his boyfriend's head.] It goes both ways. I'll carry you when you need it. [Kissing his hair.] Or when you want it.

[rattlingthestars]

You already do. A lot. [ All the time, and only sometimes literally. Jim holds onto him tight in the hug. ] 's why I wanted to make sure you know it goes both ways. We're a team.

sorry for lame tag

[swatsflies]

[Massaging his scalp as he smiles. Seriously, he has the best boyfriend.] Yeah we are, baby.

[He relies on Jim a lot more. More than anyone really. It's amazing how that kind of bond happens. How much trust he has in the other to pick up the pieces in case he ever falls.]

Love you, my Stars.

nope <3

[rattlingthestars]

[ Jim's never had anyone rely on him before, not like this. For all the situation is terrible, he thinks he likes the weight of being the star Zell looks to for guidance. The answering 'I love you, Sunshine' is almost too soft to hear, because the thought is still a little scary.

Jim gently resettles them into something that's comfortable for sleeping and kisses Zell one more time. He doesn't actually pull his lips very far away when he's finished, because he wants to stay close enough to do it again. ] You should get some sleep. I'll... [ keep watch over him, in all likelihood. ] be here when you wake up.

haha whoops sorry and I guess this is over ;-;

[swatsflies]

[Going to snag another kiss as soon as Jim finish talking.]

I will soon. Get some sleep, too. [He just wants to enjoy Jim's weight and the way they fit together a little longer.]
