really? who knew people studied things like that...
ive had sleep studies before but never with a stuffed animal involved lol (sleep studies suck by the way - how is someone supposed to sleep hooked up to a bunch of machines)
Yes! (Sorry I realized I sent that without any context)
He's dating Chris! And he's kind to me at school, he walks me to class so people aren't horrible to me. He's never bitten anyone to my knowledge, but he seems open to the opportunity.
RONAN X CHRIS REAL U CAN'T KEEP THIS GUY AWAY FROM HARGROVES
He looks scary and mean, and he can be! But he's also a big softie; I hold his hand sometimes (not for romantic reasons obviously, it's just something that helps me feel calm and safe) and he's never minded!
I'd be happy to study with you sometime, if you like.
[She's still talking to him. He doesn't mind her questions...]
It's my lungs. I got sick with a virus when I was thirteen. It's what killed my parents. I was in really bad shape - they thought I was going to die.
I never really got better after that. I developed Pulmonary Fibrosis. It's usually something old people or smokers get, but my infection was bad enough, I guess.
It makes my lungs scar up, and it gets worse over time. I didn't have to start using oxygen every day until a year or so ago. Like I said, they're bad enough now that I'll need two new ones, but that probably just isn't going to happen.
[Little tears well up in Eren's eyes. He doesn't wipe them away.]
ive never gotten to make friends i had them, but i had to move away i have online friends, but they don't know, really
and im so lonely all the time im so sad all the time im so depressed and i feel like im wasting what i have
you made me feel happy i had such a good time with you i want to hang out with you as much as possible because im angry it took so long to find you especially when you were always right there
We can hang out all the time as long as our adults all say yes, okay? I want that too.
[ Her summer schedule can be moved about; there's only a few things she'll need to keep cemented, but the rest she can move. Her schedule's important, but this is so much more in so many ways. ]
Look at it this way; you can't change all the time we didn't know each other before, but we do now! So it'll be better moving forwards!
[After that, he needs a few minutes too - a few minutes longer than Lily, because crying isn't easy when your lungs don't work (unfortunate for someone who cries so often).]
i know i just met you and i don't know you that well but i want to bloom with you
i really like you lets see each other as much as we possibly can

lol
i dont really tell anyone that but i guess
not many people to tell anyway
no subject
I have a lot - I collect them and sleep with all of them! I want to try and find a sloth bear, but they're hard to find.
Did you know it's good for stress levels to sleep with stuffies? It's been studied!
no subject

no subject
I've never had one, but I don't think I'd like that much...
It's hard enough sleeping with a noodle-horse trampling me!
no subject
i want a dog so bad
i mean
ive never asked for one
im not sure zeke would say no...
no subject
What sort would you like?
no subject
lol
when i got sick i was kind of hoping i could have a service dog but i guess there's nothing id really need it for
except maybe biting people who block my path
no subject
Ronan would though! :D
no subject
[He doesn't go to school often, but most people know who that guy is.]
do you go to his school too?
no subject
He's dating Chris! And he's kind to me at school, he walks me to class so people aren't horrible to me. He's never bitten anyone to my knowledge, but he seems open to the opportunity.
RONAN X CHRIS REAL U CAN'T KEEP THIS GUY AWAY FROM HARGROVES
But I don't really go to school anymore.
I guess I'm technically a drop out, but they let me come sit in on classes sometimes and shit like that.
Like a moth to a ginger flame...
I'd be happy to study with you sometime, if you like.
no subject
That sounds nice, but there's really not much point in me keeping up with schoolwork.
I'm going to die soon, so...
[Way to just drop that bomb, Eren, but it's not like there's a nice way to say it. He's used to this conversation by now...]
no subject
Die soon..?
Are you being serious? I can't tell if you're kidding
[ Uncomfy feeling in her chest! Building! Either due to the bombshell, or the potential of being made fun of for believing it if he is kidding. ]
no subject
My disease has a short life expectancy. I'm on a transplant list, but I'd need a double transplant, and those are hard to get. It's not likely.
I only have a couple more years, maybe. Zeke doesn't like to talk about it, but it's true.
I understand if you don't want to be friends. Honestly, it would hurt my feelings a lot, but still, I get it.
no subject
[ That's not fair! Not fair at all, actually!
[ Lily paces a bit, worried little hums accompanying some gentle rocking when she comes to a stop. It's at least a minute before Eren gets a reply. ]
I still want to be friends, very much.
Is it your lungs?
Sorry if that's a silly question, I know you use oxygen, but I wasn't sure if that was something separate.
[ Cue fairy-padding through to Lucy's office. Mama time is needed. ]

It sucks.
no subject
That does suck! Very much actually!
[ Lily isn't very good at typical comforting. But she is good at sharing facts, and so... ]
Did you know that if you stretched a set of lungs out, they'd be the size of half a tennis court?
no subject
what the fuck
really??????
how the hell
WHAT?
no subject
no subject
i think that's the problem
mine are all scarred over
you know?
[...]
can we really still be friends?
i really like you
and no one ever wants to be friends with me, especially when they find out I'm temporary
no subject
...I think a lot of the best things in the world are temporary.
So, it'd be silly to say I didn't want to be friends anymore.
That's what I think...
faith like "don't be too intense, lily" and then this from eren LMAO
[Little tears well up in Eren's eyes. He doesn't wipe them away.]
ive never gotten to make friends

No more wasting, only blooming :)
