Network: Be Cool
Who: Coop & Wishes What: Advice, Bonding When: June 8th (backdated!) Where: Network Private/Public: Private Warnings: Talk of almost baby.
MM to Wishes: Hey, how are you? What are you up to? MM to Wishes:I still really want to tell you everything on one message. that's annoying.
MM to Benji: Not much at the moment, my little wizardling MM to Benji: But I'm doing rather well. Working on all my plans and workings and such all
MM to Wishes: Did you ever want a family of your own? MM to Wishes: I keep fighting this urge to just tell you absolutely every thought that crosses my mind. I missed you. It's so good to have you back
MM to Benji: I've had a family of my own -- you two, among others long ago. But not blood, if that's what you're talking about. I don't even know if that is possible MM to Benji: well you know I'll listen, poppet. I've always tried to be there for you. I've missed you as well.
MM to Wishes: Can I tell you about the girl? I am positive she's my soulmate. Em thinks I'm stupid for still trying to win her back.
MM to Benji: Go ahead. I might have good advice or I might have truly awful advice. You can never tell which it is with me.
MM to Wishes: I honestly don't think there is any good or bad advice when it comes to Gen... MM to Wishes: I met her almost three years ago? She's a chaser for the Magpies NOW but when we met she played for the Quafflepunchers. MM to Wishes: I have a billion random facts I want to share. I want you to meet her, one day. MM to Wishes: We lived together for a while.. Then around September we found out she was pregnant only to find out that we had lost it. I thought we were on our way to having a family and getting married but when I proposed just before the holidays... She said no. MM to Wishes: I can't blame her for saying no, I had to quit playing because if I got hit in the head with another bludger, or anything, I'd.. I won't be here. She doesn't like that risk since my anger issues are a bit... I'm working on them. MM to Wishes: I don't think Em really likes her, she keeps telling me how she humiliated me. I don't feel humiliated by her turning me down.. I don't know. I keep circling about this entire subject and all I want to do is introduce you to her. She wants to meet you.
MM to Benji: Just remember that later, my little beater. And also that I've not had a successful exclusive relationship in well over a century MM to Benji: I feel like i'm missing out on some of the subtext here, but she sounds delightful but it also sounds like you both have problems to work out. I'd be happy to meet her sometime though
MM to Wishes: There's a lot missing, I know there is. I feel ridiculous doing it over text but I don't think it's fair to just bombard you with everything whenever I see you. MM to Wishes: You sound a bit like Em.
MM to Benji: as if I'd ever mind. I've missed you both dreadfully MM to Benji: Well that's not necessarily a bad thing. But remember I have a completely open mind here.
MM to Wishes: I know. I just... I think I have a very large mess that will likely you label me a bit... MM to Wishes: I'm sorry. I'm not any good at this. MM to Wishes: what have you been up to lately?
MM to Benji: So long as you're not breaking the rules I know I laid out for you at a young age, nothing is going to truly upset me, you know. MM to Benji: Nor am I going to run and tell anyone anything. MM to Benji: Working on getting something up and running that should be a nice little distraction for me.
MM to Wishes: I've never once broken the rules you gave me. You should know that. MM to Wishes: Have you ever had to deal with jealousy? MM to Wishes: Really? If you need any help, I can swing a hammer or two. I've no idea what sort of help you'd need
MM to Benji: Never thought you would. MM to Benji: I'm not generally one to get jealous. I don't mind sharing terribly much, to be honest, as it's often more fun that way. But bear in mind, too, I haven't had much opportunity for such. A few times, I've had others be jealous, but rarely enough for me to actually have to deal with. no one has thought it important enough when it comes to me to press the point MM to Benji: Wand and perhaps hammer could be needed at some point.
MM to Wishes: I can't seem to stop being jealous. It's what ruined our relationship, mine and Gen's. It was fine while we had distance and then she moved here to be with me. Things were great until the tabloids threw her face all over it, claiming she was with this man and that. It wasn't so bad until we'd go out and people would actually try to hit on her, I couldn't seem to help myself. MM to Wishes: I can't be doing those things though, my injury... It's such a mess. MM to Wishes: Any advice on how to curb it? MM to Wishes: I have both of those at the ready.
MM to Benji: have you thought any of why you're jealous? I mean, has she given you a reason to be? Or a reason to distrust her? If she's a huge flirt or has cheated, I understand, since you're not in an open relationship. MM to Benji: but if it's just these other people, you're going to have to come to terms with the fact you can't control their behavior, only your own. Think of it this way, my handsome bantam, you let them win if you let them into your head, controlling what you think and feel.
MM to Wishes: She's never cheated and she's not a flirt. MM to Wishes: You make it sound so logical and easy, it doesn't feel so logical and easy. MM to Wishes: I just feel this rage when I see some asshole just hit on her in front of me. It.. I realize now there's nothing I can do. She's not mine. I still need to get a handle on it.
MM to Benji: emotions rarely are. MM to Benji: it is one thing to be possessive, poppet, and another to let people in your head. You need to work on your confidence in my pov. If you know she's yours, who cares what everyone else thinks?
MM to Wishes: You made more sense to me in under a half hour than anyone ever has in a lifetime. MM to Wishes: How's that work?
MM to Benji: possibly because I'm simply fantabulous and you've never talked to anyone as awesome as me?
MM to Wishes: Not in all this time. MM to Wishes: Gen and Hyperion do want to meet you. She's the girl and he's the best mate. MM to Wishes: if at all possible, you should shock and surprise Hype. He thinks since he's an auror he's seen it all.
MM to Benji: do they know what I am? MM to Benji: happy to meet them of course. So long as he's not going to try to capture me for study or anything I'm willing to make the attempt
MM to Wishes: Of course they do. You really think I would go without mentioning the only father figure I have? MM to Wishes: He won't. He knows better. Promise.
MM to Benji: So long as I'm not captured for an exotic creature zoo, I'm more than happy to plot!
MM to Wishes: I wouldn't ever let him, I swear. MM to Wishes: I'll see when he's free next, we can plan for then if you'd like?
MM to Benji: works foe me. Just please no mornings unless it's early.
MM to Wishes: No mornings, we'll do dinner or something.
MM to Benji: I'm rather afraid poppet that I've turned into something of a metaphorical vampire without children to make me get up in the mornings
MM to Wishes: Hopefully, one day, I can give you some grandchildren things and they can make your old bones rise early in the morning to play ridiculous games. MM to Wishes: You're going to put other's to shame.
MM to Benji: you know I'd be even more ridiculous as that than I was as a nanny
MM to Wishes: All the best grandparents are. MM to Wishes: You're going to be the envy of every kid in town. No one will have a grandpa as cool as you.
MM to Benji: well I will be awesome. I can't deny the awesome.
MM to Wishes: and probably most attractive.
MM to Benji: ah, you flatter me, my batty beater. There are some silver foxes out there
