[Early morning. After his last shift before Christmas ends.]

Hi.

[locked to jack c.]

Scale of one to ten, how traumatic was it? Not too bad? I think our childhoods were normal.

[locked to matt + jenny]

How'd we all like being kids again?

	I'm not mad. I didn't get mad. And I'm not frustrated, I just-- [Inhale.] I don't want to make things worse. I don't want you to feel like you can't tell me things. I-- I don't mind telling you I love you all the time, or reminding you that I don't want anyone else. I'll say it every day for the rest of our lives. It's not a-- an obligation.

	I really, really think I'm terrible for you and the kids, and I don't know why you can't see it, especially now, after the boat and this. And I know you get tired of telling me it isn't true, and of telling me not to go. I- I know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'll tell you it's not true until the day you believe it, and I'll keep you from leaving until you stop thinking it's an option. I love you too much for anything else. And you don't understand why I can't see that you're terrible for us, but I don't understand how you can think that. Gus has made a lot of progress and he adores you, and Lia, you're so great with her, and me... I wouldn't be half the man I am today without you.

	[Frustrated.] You might be better and happier, but you won't give yourself the chance, and I'm too weak to walk away like I should. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No. No, don't do that. You're not not bad for me, and if I thought I was bad for you, you'd tell me I was wrong. You know you would (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Stubbornly.] What you're asking doesn't matter. We're not bad for each other, and we're not bad for our kids. I won't justify you leaving us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Wren/Luke onerule 2013-12-26 05:56 pm UTC (link)
	I was a stubborn, awkward little thing, I guess. And you like my stubbornness. I think, no matter what you say, that you want me to disagree with you. At least when it comes to some things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Wren/Luke spacecowboys 2013-12-26 06:01 pm UTC (link)
	You were cute and sweet, and you had your hero thing, even then. [Pause.] I want you to be right. I really, really want to believe you. I wish I could. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Wren/Luke onerule 2013-12-26 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I had my hero thing. Back then it wasn't really based in reality, though. [Fond.] I know. And I really do believe that one day you will. But until then, I'll keep reminding you. You're stuck with me, baby. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[A long exhale.] I- Lia's hungry, and every time I think about feeding her, I worry that I'm going to contaminate her, ruin her somehow. And Gus- I don't want him to be the kid at school whose mother is a whore, and I don't really even want you to look at me right now, and I- I just don't know how to make it go away. I don't know how. So- I, maybe a few days not here. Maybe.
