Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[therushingsky]

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[beejfu]

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[therushingsky]

u are so pretty

and I really wanted 2 kno he was safe so I wouldn't have to worry while I was with u. Or so he could come and see u all happy and magical as well.

[He's in his bed, bundled under the covers in his cabin:]

Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse.

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[beejfu]

[and he appears in all his gross glory, dropping down on the bed next to the comforter stack that covers Rhys]

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[therushingsky]

[Rhys immediately tosses his communicator off to the side, and pushes back his duvet to invite Betelgeuse in.]

Hey. Get in here babe.

[Let him hold you, you big soft baby.]

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[beejfu]

[he snuggles up underneath the duvet at the invite, hugging onto whatever bits of Rhys he can find in the dark]

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[therushingsky]

[Rhys pulls Betelgeuse in close, hugging him in tight, pressing his nose into the other man's hair.]

Are you really okay? I was worried about you in that other place.

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[beejfu]

[He wraps his arms tightly back around Rhys with a snuffle into his belly.]

Actually I'm doing way better than Rosie and Jasper. That place sucked but it's mostly third-hand embarrassment for being such a pushover schmuck.

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[therushingsky]

Rose... she's on the list of people who I'm not convinced should even be here.

[Rhys admits, petting Betelgeuse's back gently.]

I'm not surprised it's hitting her hard.

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[beejfu]

She hulked out earlier. Stan and Ford talked her down. I was proud of her.

[he drops his head into Rhys' lap]

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[therushingsky]

You're a good friend.

[Rhys had seen it, mostly stayed out of it.]

She's gonna need you sticking by her.

[Then. After a long pause.]

You talked to Hange much?

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[beejfu]

[he visibly stills, before muttering]

I don't wanna talk about Hange. She sucks.

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[therushingsky]

She told me what happened.

[his voice is soft, comforting.]

I'm sorry. You know-- her feeling like that, not feeling like that, it's not because there's anything wrong with you, right?

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[beejfu]

[his breath hitches as he buries his face, consigning himself to this ugly conversation]

Sure.

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[therushingsky]

[Oh, Rhys knows a brush off when he hears one. Rhys drops his hand down to caress Betelgeuse's cheek.]

I know it still feels like crap, even if I say that.

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[beejfu]

[his hair, contrarily, grows darker purple]

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[therushingsky]

I spent-- a really long time thinking that Elijah didn't really care about me.

[Rhys confesses, after a moment.]

I knew he liked me, but I was-- stupid, knock out, crazy about him. And he just liked me. And it sucked. Trying to talk myself into being okay with being the one in a relationship who likes the other guy too much. Trying to get ready for the fact that he had plans for a future that I wasn't going to be in. Trying to keep my own plans straight.

Re: Text - when he's got his communicator back

[beejfu]

Elijah wasn't your warden. You weren't a job to him.

[he stirs, rolling over to his side]

She just summons me out of the fucking blue to get drunk and tell me she's been here a whole year. Do you know how long I've been trapped in hell, or invisible? And she looks at me like it's my fault.

Holy shit, I'm sorry if the Big Guy upstairs isn't pairing her with the right kinda inmate she can love and snuggle with and doesn't get skeezed out about holding. I'm trying to get out of here too. Maybe her plan is to make me so fucking miserable I'll graduate just to get away from her.

Kinda wishing she had just lied to me.
