[he lets william stew for a while, lets him settle into saltburnt until he's found a routine, a groove, if you will. and then, once he's got his daily mundanity of poetry reading and poetry writing and pining after his sister down, koby strikes:]

hey
wyd?

[like he hadn't blocked him from this username on myspace months ago.]

[chipped]

[ During a particularly brutal revision session--where William is almost tempted to toss all his work in the bin for the 12th time this year--his phone lights up with a familiar username.

He can be normal about this. It was probably a mistake. Right? ]

I think you might have the wrong number

[kobes]

do i?

[there's a pause, then koby sends a photo -- not of himself, not of his ass in the mirror or his shirt pulled up. it's a photo of william, one of his blurry myspace ones, oversaturated and dramatic.]

this you?

[chipped]

[ Maybe he should just--pretend he never got this message. Bad cell reception in the house. Deleted it by accident. Full inbox!

But there's the possibility that Koby earnestly needs something (or maybe he's been to one of William's readings, and that made him rethink the MySpace block), and so after fourteen minutes of deliberation: ]

It could be.

Can I help you with something?

[ Radiant? No, you can't tell a man his ass looks radiant. ]

[kobes]

[oh, absolutely. he's the soul of heartfelt honest.]

[ The ghost of someone much ballsier than William possesses him for a moment, as he sends this before thinking it through: ]

Wouldn't be much fun for you if I was properly speechless, would it?

[chipped]

Sorry.

What I meant was--

I know I'll like anything you send me.

[kobes]

[okay willie, a moment of audacity!!! koby loves it though, actually huffing out a laugh where he sprawls on his bed.]

idk i can think of some things you could do with your mouth that don't involve talking 😏😏😏
