i wrote you a poem for the decathlon today

i wish you good luck

i know you won't suck

you'll win first place

and probably punch me in the face

that poem was shit

it wasn't a hit

i'll do my best today

i'm freaking out

the last line didn't rhyme

shut up

is typing...

i need you to talk to me

those texts are an oxymoron

i'm being serious

like you voluntarily want to communicate with me??

this doesn't mean anything

yeah okay for sure for sure

unrelated question though: if we got married would you be okay with a dog as the ring bearer

this was a mistake

no i'm sorry

what did you want to talk about i'm listening

nothing

idk

just tell me something

don't get me wrong this is the single greatest moment in my entire life

you're spiderman

again this is the single greatest moment in my entire life

but i just want to know why

usually you're so

reserved?

i was going to say heartless and soul crushing but sure

i really don't know

i just need something to take my mind off the decathlon

i'm freaking out a little bit

omg you DO have human emotions

i'm going to tell all my friends

i'm only talking to you because i know you have no friends to tell

insult me again and i'll leave you all alone

you broccoli bitch

sorry

did you just apologize to me

oh how the turn tables

shut up

i'm too nervous to do this with you

okay sorry sorry

what do you want to talk about

anything

is typing...

oh my god

i think i'm going to throw up

whoa hey mel it's okay

my favorite color is blue

what's yours?

gray

gray?

are you e.l. james? do you hate happiness? do you work at a funeral home?

no yes and i wish

fine your turn

what are we playing 20 questions now

is this middle school

am i passing you notes in mr jenkins' class written on my one direction stationary

ask me a question or i'm leaving

you're so demanding now

i'm evolving

fine

are you a virgin haha xx 💦👅

don't actually answer that it was a joke i don't want to know

what's your favorite food

tea

you fucking british scone crumb

favorite smell

new paper

favorite subject

history

worst fear

failure

favorite time of day

i feel like we should talk about that

no

favorite time of day

okay daybreak

favorite marvel movie

never seen one

ARE YOU SERIOUS

um yeah

sacrilegious

favorite movie then

don't have one

do you not watch movies or something???

i watch documentaries sometimes

mel

what i'm a discovery channel girl not a disney channel girl

why movies are amazing

as a movie star i feel you're biased

why do you think the marvel universe is so popular

people want to escape into another reality where there's right and wrong and heroes and magic

but i don't get it

why is everyone to desperate to spend time in another universe when ours is so fascinating

other universes have happy endings

well that's not real life

that's what i don't like about movies

they're not realistic

mel not everything is about being realistic don't you have an imagination

don't you ever dream about something or wish for someone

*something

no because wishing and dreaming gets you nowhere

if you want something you need to work for it

besides i don't concern myself with impossibilities i'm too busy dealing with improbabilities

sweet son in heaven

i like books sorry

well movies require no brain activity to watch you might as well be dead

mel has anyone ever told you you can be kind of pretentious

sorry i couldn't hear you over the sound of me sipping my artisan cold brew and my norwegian afro punk drum line record

i can't wait to finally roll my eyes at you in person today

you're coming to the competition??

yup and i'm bringing june

we'll be out there cheering you on😊😊

ahaha now i'm even more nervous

[deleted]

i'll try not to fail too badly then

you're going to be amazing mel

thanks tom

for talking to me or whatever

i guess it helped

or whatever

i'm always here mel

okay we're done with this emo shit

it's giving me a rash

hey

give them hell mel

i cannot believe you missed the opportunity to say give them mel

oh they're calling me i have to go

bye mel

bye tom

and the ice queen's frozen heart began to slowly thaw. can you say character development😩😩😩😩 just kidding i just realized that at this rate mel and tom would literally never be friends or date in this fic so i had to start making mel not threaten tom with death every 3.4 seconds
