Network: Uncomfortable Truths Who: Coop to Gen and Addi When: Monday, June 12 [back-dated] What: After Oliver's visit to the Leaky Cauldron, Coop reaches out to Gen, then Addi. Warnings: Language, I'm sure Public/Private: Private
MM to Gen: please tell me you didn't tell him I just got a job at the leaky so that he might stay away... MM to Gen: He came in today.
MM to Coop: What? When did you get a job at the Leaky? MM to Coop: Who is he?
MM to Gen: fuck. I assumed you knew for some. Duck. MM to Gen: your boyfriend
MM to Coop:Merde. MM to Coop: I don't have a boyfriend, Cooper. MM to Coop: I broke up with Oliver yesterday.
MM to Gen:I... what? Fucking. Woman. well.. you know who I meant. MM to Gen: cats out of the bag. Spending my summer bartending at the Leaky to keep my mind occupied so I don't make anymore bad decisions.
MM to Coop: What bad decisions have you really made though? MM to Coop: Are you enjoying it so far?
MM to Gen: I qualify it as a bad decision. Everyone else, but maybe 2 people, say it wasn't. MM to Gen: Other than playing nice to him, it's good. I enjoy talking to people. It's relaxing because I don't have to stress. Low level stress.
MM to Coop: What about what I qualify it as? Does that matter? MM to Coop: Low stress is good. I could use some of that right now. It's been a painful weekend.
MM to Gen: three people think it was a stupid idea that I showed up in France. MM to Gen: Can I help at all?
MM to Coop: You didn't answer my question. MM to Coop: Does it matter what I think? MM to Coop: I honestly don't know MM to Coop:Terence suggested therapy
MM to Gen: it always matters what you think. MM to Gen: when you do, tell me. You know I'll do anything to help
MM to Coop: Then here's what I think MM to Coop: No matter how emotionally tumultuous things have been since you showed up in France, I'm glad you did MM to Coop: It wasn't doing me any good to pretend not to feel what I feel
MM to Gen: You wanted to not feel me?
MM to Coop: It's more complicated than that MM to Coop: And this isn't exactly a conversation best had in text. It's too easy to misunderstand
MM to Gen: You started that. I wanted to rage about Oliver showing up at the Leaky. MM to Gen: be sure to give yourself a firm talking to. MM to Gen: To promote nothing weird between us, would you want to get dinner when you're ready to talk to me about it?
MM to Coop: You brought up bad decision making MM to Coop:Oui, I'd like that
MM to Gen: true. I just stupidly didn't think you would know which of my bad decisions it was lately. MM to Gen: let me know when you're up for it. You know how to find me.
MM to Coop: I'd like it if you would explain to me what you think you've done that have been bad decisions MM to Coop: I will MM to Coop: Is it okay with you if we just start with having our friend back in each other?
MM to Gen: Maybe when we have dinner. MM to Gen: I just want to be a part of your life, in whatever way you'll let me.
MM to Coop: All right then MM to Coop: Yeah? Okay MM to Coop: I just think it's best if I take a break from dating for a bit, sex too MM to Coop: I need to process everything going on in me. Maybe finally deal with our loss in September. That would probably be good.
MM to Gen: How are you going to do that?
MM to Coop: Someone suggested I talk to someone about it. Someone not friends or family. MM to Coop: It's probably not a bad idea
MM to Gen: if I can help, just let me know. MM to Gen:I'm looking into doing it too.
MM to Coop: I will MM to Coop:It would really help if you wouldn't accuse me of stringing you along again MM to Coop:Can I tell you I love you or will that make things more difficult? MM to Coop: I wasn't stringing you along. MM to Coop: I just really hope you know that.
MM to Gen: the fact that you actually left him let's me know that you were just being honest. MM to Gen: I'm sorry. I wish had realized it would bother you. I would have apologized earlier. MM to Gen: I've had a lot of women use that line on me when I was younger. I shouldn't have thought you would do that to me. Hyperion knew you wouldn't.
MM to Coop: I was drunk, Coop. I don't think I blame you for thinking it was just a line MM to Coop: I also want you to know that I'm not mad at you for telling Addi MM to Coop: I've been told it's something I should be furious about, but I'm not. I understand why you did and that you wouldn't have if you'd known she didn't know
MM to Gen: Thank you. MM to Gen: I honestly had no idea. I really wouldn't have. Have you guys fixed things yet??
MM to Coop: I know you didn't. MM to Coop: No, she's still not talking to me :(
MM to Gen: seems slightly unfair at this point. She officially shook up not just your world but about three. Maybe more. MM to Gen: I didn't do anything stupid just now. With Oliver here.
MM to Coop: Wait, what? Look, I know Addi's being a selfish brat in some ways about this MM to Coop: But she wasn't wrong. And she didn't say anything I didn't need to hear. Maybe a lot of it was her opinion, but there was a lot of truth in what she said MM to Coop: ...okay. I wasn't worried about you doing anything stupid. I mean, unless it included breaking a wall.
MM to Gen: I didn't say she's being a selfish brat. I understand why she is mad but she needs to come around now. She knows nothing was done to hurt her I'm sure so it's time to start fixing things soon. MM to Gen: Just a remote this time. Nothing I couldn't easily fix.
MM to Coop: No, but someone else did. And in some ways she is, and I don't doubt she knows she is. But I love her, and we will work through it. MM to Coop: Her birthday is Saturday. And then father's day on Sunday, I'm really hoping she'll come home for the weekend. It'll be good for us to be around family MM to Coop: You broke a remote at work?
MM to Gen: I know you will. MM to Gen: I doubt she would miss that. I'm sure she will head home for it. MM to Gen: I broke a remote the other night..
MM to Coop: I've never seen her this mad before :( MM to Coop: Oh, I see MM to Coop: I'm sorry I upset you so much but I meant what I said as I was leaving
MM to Gen: I was mad at myself for asking. It hurts knowing the answer. It would hurt not knowing as well.
MM to Coop: For asking what? If I still love you or if I was with him?
MM to Gen: Honestly? Likely both.
MM to Coop: Oh. Do you wish you hadn't? MM to Coop:I'm glad you asked
MM to Gen: It hurt hearing you were with him. MM to Gen: It didn't hurt though to hear you say the other things.
MM to Coop: That's not what I asked MM to Coop: I meant it. The other things. Every ~last word
MM to Gen: I don't regret asking them. MM to Gen: At some point, not this second, you'll have to let me know where that leaves us.
MM to Coop: At some point, I will MM to Coop:Once I figure that out for myself
MM to Gen:I'm supposed to say something like, I won't wait around but we both know that's a lie. MM to Gen: I love you, little bird.
MM to Coop: I love you too mon coeur Cooper
MM to Gen: Did you make a face at that too??
MM to Coop: Which face? At what?
MM to Gen: Cooper.
MM to Coop: Why would I make a face at that? MM to Coop: I might have bit my lip. MM to Coop: Smiled a bit. MM to Coop: But no funny faces.
MM to Gen: You never call me Cooper unless I've done something wrong.
MM to Coop: That's not true MM to Coop: I only call you Benjamin when you've done something wrong
MM to Gen: Aly calls me Benj.
MM to Coop: Well, that's what you went by when he knew you back then MM to Coop: Does it make you feel like a kid again? MM to Coop:I still want to meet him
MM to Gen: not really. MM to Gen: would you still be up for meeting him? Sometime. He's going to meet Hype soon I think.
MM to Coop:Oui I'd love to meet him
MM to LittleBird: Really? I mean.. Thanks. I'll see when he might be free.
MM to Coop: Didn't I tell you when you came to France that I'd like to meet him? MM to Coop: I thought I had, but I might not have. I was a bit distracted otherwise
MM to LittleBird: A lot changed between now and then... MM to LittleBird: I wanted to be sure.
MM to Coop: It really has MM to Coop: Well, you can be sure :)
MM to LittleBird: How are you? Have I asked that yet? I don't want to stop talking to you.
MM to Coop: Honest answer? Or the polite answer?
MM to LittleBird: You know the answer.
MM to Coop: I'm hung over, exhausted, emotional, and anxious about what happens next MM to Coop: I'm not used to being anxious about anything. I don't like it. MM to Coop:I'm probably about to start my period
MM to LittleBird: Stop worrying. Whatever comes next? You've got this. It'll be a wild ride that no one predict but you're not supposed to. You're supposed to enjoy the ride.
MM to Coop: There's just a lot of anger and hurt feelings flying around right now, and I don't know how any of it will be resolved MM to Coop:And I can't have what would make me feel better because we CAN'T just jump back into things together. I can't
MM to LittleBird: You only have to worry about your own. For once in your life, put yourself first.
MM to Coop: That's easier said than done MM to Coop: But thank you MM to Coop:I love you
MM to LittleBird: Always will be. But you have to actively try. MM to LittleBird: Even if it's just taking a nice long run in the morning until your lungs explode and then masterbating in the shower afterwards thinking of the best shower sex you've ever had. MM to LittleBird: Do ridiculously wonderful things just for you.
MM to Coop: I still do my morning runs. It's not the same on my own though ♥ MM to Coop: It might be hard to pick one time as the best shower sex though
MM to LittleBird: I wouldn't mind a partner. though I'll want to stay.. MM to LittleBird: Really? How in the world have you had so much good shower sex? It's like you knew a sex god or something. MM to LittleBird: I hope you're laughing.
MM to Coop: It would be nice to run with you instead of away from you again MM to Coop: Oh god that was so cheesy. Just shoot me now, okay? MM to Coop: And yes, I am laughing
MM to LittleBird: it's a date then. Apparate to a meeting point. Run til lungs explode. Apparate to our own homes. MM to LittleBird: see? I can do gentleman.
MM to Coop:Lol I love you MM to Coop: 9am? Can't wake up too early. It's summer!
MM to LittleBird: Yeah, for one of us. I start later tomorrow.
MM to Coop: You didn't HAVE to get a summer job, you know MM to Coop: Is 9 going to be okay for you then?
MM to LittleBird: It honestly is better I occupy my time. I debated volunteering with the little league but I couldn't bring myself to... MM to LittleBird: it'll be perfect
MM to Coop: Oh. I'm going to be pretty heavily involved in it this year, more than last :) MM to Coop:I'm thinking about talking to Viktor about helping run it year round MM to Coop: Great, I'll see you in the morning then
MM to LittleBird: Are you going to get your own team? MM to LittleBird: I can't wait to spend my morning with you again
MM to Coop: I think so, oui! I'm really excited about it! MM to Coop: Me too mon chou
MM to LittleBird: You'll be your own coach, very cute. Let me know when the games are, I'll come cheer you on. MM to LittleBird: I love you. I have to stop being a teenager and texting the pretty girl. Especially if I want to get up in time to see her.
MM to Coop: That's the goal someday :) just not the pros, I want to coach the kids ♥ MM to Coop: I love you too. Good night Coop
MM to Little Bit: so fun facts for your day. MM to Little Bit: few days ago Gen flooed over while drunk and we cried. It was a mess. She said she was dating Oliver but said she loved me. Called me that name. She said for now though so I assumed she was leading me on. MM to Little Bit: then today Oliver Wood showed up in the Leaky and I tried to piss him off. I think it might have worked. I get let go for break and message her. Asking if she told him I got the job at the leaky bartending so he might stay away. MM to Little Bit: they apparently broke up the day before. She wants to focus on being friends currently. Shes looking into help and I don't want her knowing I am please. Not yet. MM to Little Bit: So, what's up with you? I can't tell Hyperion he was right.
MM to BB:Fuck. [two hours later] MM to BB: There's a lot going on with me right now MM to BB: I'm going to talk to my boss this week about London MM to BB: Did I ever tell you I'm pretty sure she's a witch? MM to BB: Fuck it. Look. If she came to you and is talking to you now, you probably know... MM to BB: I know I fucked up. And I know I'm not being fair to her. MM to BB:But I'm still hurting I'll make it right with her, but I just... can't yet.
MM to Little Bit: You're coming to London? It'll be good to have you in town. I like seeing you around town. MM to Little Bit: Did I say anything? No, don't think so. MM to Little Bit: How are you? I'm concerned about you.
MM to BB: I told you I was thinking of moving! ♥ MM to BB: No, but I know Gen. And if she's talking to you, then you know we fought. MM to BB: What's to be concerned about?
MM to Little Bit: I know but I didn't think you would for some reason. I'm very glad you are. MM to Little Bit: I do but I wasn't going to mention it or try to fix it. I tend to make things worse. MM to Little Bit: you never fight with her, so I worry.
MM to BB: Really? I love Paris but... I'm bored, I guess. I need something different! MM to BB: I don't think that's true. MM to BB: Yeah but this isn't like anything else. This was huge. And I know I should just shove my own hurt aside and be there for her, but I need to be mad for a little bit first.
MM to Little Bit: Are you bringing the boyfriend? MM to Little Bit: You shouldn't have to shove your own hurt aside. You should both help each other, in my opinion. I've never been any good at any of this though.
MM to BB: Eh idk I'm kinda bored of him too MM to BB: I'm sure we will. I just don't understand why she didn't tell me :( MM to BB: I mean, I know I'm not all crazy about baby making but that's just for me. I would have been so excited for you guys and just as heartbroken
MM to Little Bit: Really? Is he on his way out? MM to Little Bit: You realize that she never really... We never really handled it ourselves. MM to Little Bit: Just.. Let me get out what I have to say before you reply. I'll tell you when I've sent it all. MM to Little Bit: Think about what happened mere months later, I proposed and she said no. We broke up. MM to Little Bit: I had been excited and hopeful that we could maybe try again, start our family together and get married. MM to Little Bit: You would have been excited like me. I don't think she could handle that. MM to Little Bit: I'm done. Took less than I thought...
MM to BB: I know that, I do. But I think I would have understood it better. Why she said no, I mean MM to BB: She doesn't even have to explain it to me now. I know her. I know what she was thinking. MM to BB: As for Roberto... idk. We've been together over a year you know? But... he's not It for me I'm just bored, I guess
MM to Little BIt: You still might want to talk to her about it. She didn't deal with any of it. I selfishly never realized. MM to Little Bit: Then leave him, I know you've got an open relationship but if you're bored then you don't want to be with him.
MM to BB: :( I will. I promise MM to BB: Oh I will, I just haven't really been around him much lately. I keep going to London instead ;)
MM to Little Bit: Thank you. She mentioned maybe seeing someone about it. I think I said this already, but just to be clear. Please don't tell her I'm looking into it. I need to know if I'm going for myself or not. MM to Little BIt: That's a huge red sign. You should likely leave him. If you need any help, say getting things from his flat? I can be pretty good muscle.
MM to BB: I won't say anything, I promise. MM to BB: Haha oh please, like I have anything at his flat. We have Rules.
MM to Little Bit: well that's good. Then it'll be an easy clean break.
MM to BB: It should be. It was never super serious anyway MM to BB: Just lots of kinky sex :P
MM to Little Bit: Ew ew ew
MM to BB: Hahahaha
MM to Little Bit: That's it. I'm going to send you nudes of weird old wizards that are roughly 272926 years old.
MM to BB: Is that a threat? Hahaha omg you're out of practice
MM to Little Bit: Don't test me. I've got ways to get pictures.
MM to BB: Whatever
MM to Little Bit: Gross. I would tell you things I've done to Gen but I don't think that would freak you out like I freak out about you.
MM to BB: LOL you assume Vieve didn't tell me dirty details ;) MM to BB: I look forward to getting them from her again soon
MM to Little Bit: I want to call bullocks.. MM to Little Bit: I can tell you about the hot red head I took home.
MM to BB: Please. Do I need to tell you some of the things she's told me? Compare notes? MM to BB: How hot was she?? Red heads are fun
MM to Little Bit: you have notes?! MM to Little Bit: smoking. Her body was better. She plays for the harpies.
MM to BB: Omg you got Ginny Weasley in bed??? MM to BB: ...yes, I know she's the only redhead on the team. They miiiight be my second favorite team to watch. MM to BB: How was she?
MM to Little Bit: I did, fancy that. I like that you know who she is. I feel like this is a, Coop wins, sort of moment. MM to Little Bit: You're so morbid sometimes. She likes one night stands, I believe. My hangover was beautiful the next day, followed by Gen flooing over. Drunk.
MM to BB: It totally is haha MM to BB: Wait, why am I morbid? I'm so proud of you. MM to BB: But that's the end of one night stands for you right? :P
MM to Little Bit: You want to know how she was. Weird. MM to Little Bit: You're proud of me? MM to Little BIt: Nosey. Maybe, likely. I think even if nothing had changed, it would be the end. MM to Little Bit: I keep making an idiot of myself with these women. It's like I don't understand how to have a one night stand.
MM to BB: Only because she's really hot lol MM to BB: Okay yes, I will accept nosy, but I'm so not morbid MM to BB: Wait, what do you mean if nothing had changed, it would be the end? MM to BB: Cause that kind of sounds like you're not done having one night stands MM to BB: Hey, not everyone's designed for it, and that's okay. Besides, you've got something better in the works ♥
MM to Little Bit: Alright, nosy. MM to Little Bit: I promise, I'm done. I was done, but I was having a great night. I had gotten the job, we were celebrating, I had something to fill my time, and she was there. She was beautiful, flirty, and had a brain.
MM to BB: Nothing wrong with that :) MM to BB: And I don't even feel the need to threaten you. I know you'll never do anything to hurt her on purpose ♥
MM to Little Bit: I could have brained you by the way. Next time tell me when you don't know about something like that, alright? MM to Little Bit: I felt terrible
MM to BB: It was more important to be supportive of you :(
MM to Little Bit: You can still be supportive, just be honest with me.
MM to BB: And how would telling you that I didn't know about the baby have worked toward being supportive? MM to BB: It just would have upset you more.
MM to Little Bit: We would have worked around to it.
MM to BB: Yes well, hindsight is 20/20
MM to Little Bit: I wasn't saying to change it. Just next time. MM to Little Bit: what's up
MM to BB: Didn't we go in this circle already? MM to BB: I'll be home this weekend for my birthday and father's day MM to BB: But I definitely want to come back up next weekend MM to BB: And I promise I'll have made things right with Vieve by then ♥
MM to Little Bit: Likely. MM to Little Bit: Still pretty surprised you're really coming. It's about damn time.
