Oh, okay! Let me toss the question back at you--how about you and Netzach? How'd you two meet and what kicked off your relationship?
Only if you feel like sharing, of course!! /gen
~ librarian-lover 📖
ofc ofc!! thamk fur the ask @librarian-lover! /gen
sorry i took so long two answer :'3 and sorry abt how long the answer is, too! /lh
i dont have a whole story planned out yet (beclaws chronic illness is a meanie) nor a name fur my s/i, just vaguely put twogether bits and pieces here and therer, but im hapy two share my ideas!! ill put them under the cut so that the post isnt 5 meters long /lhj
Local Idiot™ somehow manages two get hired at L Corp /lh
they start out in the welfare depawrtment, as one of the furst mempurrs
they dont dislike being there, but being that deep underground offsets their agoraphobia a bit- not enough two cause them panic, but it definitely makes it so that their mental corruption levels rise quicker
so they sign up two transfur two the safety team instead (beclaws control team is "too yellow" and info team is too menacing and safety sounds. not scary and ok maybe they just enjoy how green the halls are there if they cant have bloo)
they happen two bump intwo netzach on one of their furst few days there and they introduce themselves two each other
and while my s/i's attempting two make small talk (and mostly failing), theyre kinda like.. "huh, something abt him seems kinda sad.... oh, people have said that about me a lot! and im purretty touch starved, maybe he needs a hug...? wait, but it'd be weird two hug someone yew just met, right?? maybe i can be his furriend or something thatd be supurr awesome and nyaice-"
they're having All the Thoughts™.... they just cannot stop Thinking™ /lh
so they're trying two come up with excuses two talk two him day after day- while noticing his alcohol and enkaphalin usage, which... kinda worries them. they've definitely been stressed enough themself two the point where they've wanted two turn two drugs... was this a similar case??
efurry time they try two go up and talk two him, though, their voice just... won't come out.
so they have the idea of writing a letter instead! maybe thatd be easier..
theyre very nervous, and constantly state how "its not a crush or anything, i just wanna be furriends and get two know each other meowre!" followed by something like "oh but no purressure if yew dont want i mean i just want yew two know im feeling this way is all!" beclaws they're not quite sure if 'friend-crush' or 'squish' is an ok term two use, beclaws feelings are confusing. the way their brain automatically thinks of the worst case scenarios also makes it so that the letter starts off with something like... "if yew're reading this im purrobly dead or i dropped this on the floor somewhere"
they put said letter in an envelope and seal it with a white heart sticker that they color in the queerplatonic flag colors and write netzach's name on the back.
and they go "ok tomeowrrow im delivering this!"
tomeowrrow comes. they fold the letter intwo their pocket....
and they dont have the guts two deliver it-
"ok ill just carry this around in my pockets while working. in case i die or something.."
they still make attempts here and there two try and deliver the letter two no avail
other agents in the safety depawrtment have obviously taken notice of this and occasionally tease them about having a (supposed) crush on the sephirah of the safety team- meowre in a teasing playful way than anything else
but these teasing interactions turn out two be a bit of a blessing- the whole safety team kinda grows closer twogether with these mischievous lil interactions and hangouts (my s/i included ofc- im just keeping it vague beclaws i wanna make it so that others can bwoop their nuggets intwo this kinda scenario if they wanna ehehe)
uhh i dont have meowch else past this point but like.
theyre sneaking around during netzach's meltdown (although they very definitely shouldnt be, they want two be of help somehow- think of a scenario similar two how the sephirah meltdowns play out in teequeue's playthrough on the lp archive?)
afterwards, they meownage two listen in on bits and snippets of the manager's talk with netzach after his meltdown
that kind of... intensifies their feelings twowards him! like "whoa thats so cool of him actually two keep mewving furward even when life is so scary... i wish i could be like that"
so it becomes not only "i wanna be his furriend" but "i think... i really look up two him."
followed by "and also... its confusing but i wanna give him platonic kisses. does that make sense?? are- are platonic kisses a thing??"
ofc theyre just kinda talking two themself in their head trying two figure out "its not romantic but i think i wanna kiss him?? but! thats purrobably weird ill just say its a squish and try two deliver that letter..."
they. still dont meownage two deliver that letter even after the fall of L Corp
but thankfully, they get another chance two in the Library!
there, they actually manage two work up the nerve two talk two netzach, learning furrom their past mistake of just letting the oppurrtunity slip by- and they do it on their furst day, too!
they actually get along quite well and are p relaxed with each other!
my s/i doesnt drink (just beclaws they think there are better tasting and smelling things out there) and they encourage netzach two purractice some moderation beclaws they just worry like that a lot
often times after receptions, they nap snuggled next two each other (meowch two the delight of my touch starved s/i)
the qpr really only "started officially" after my s/i was explaining two another assistant librarian that "even tho i wanna kiss him it isnt romantic but i cant explain why it just doesnt feel romantic"
but they were explaining loud enough fur like. efurryone on the floor of art two hear beclaws. "what is volume control im neurodivergent also stop making me so flustered /lh"
netz has (purrobably?) nefur heard of anything like that befur, but is willing two give it a shot
so theres always kisses on the cheek or forehead pre-reception and purrobably meowre kisses and closerer snuggles post-reception. sometimes occasionally kisses on the lips, lots of hand holding or havin an arm around the other or little ways of showing physical affection (ᶦ ʳᵉᵃˡˡʸ ˡᶦᵏᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ʰᶜ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ⁿᵉᵗᶻᵃᶜʰ ᶦˢ ˢᵘᵖᵘʳʳ ᵖʰʸˢᶦᶜᵃˡˡʸ ᵃᶠᶠᵉᶜᵗᶦᵒⁿᵃᵗᵉ)
tl;dr: local idiot joins lobcorp, tries and fails two befurriend netz, meownages two actually gain the nerve two talk two him during the events of ruina and talks a little too loudly but it turns out two be ok beclaws qpr

ALEX
SMS [ trash pile ] : whos hosting this weekend? Bagsy not me, only just got the window fixed from when Bash tried to escape through it.
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : tried? i think you mean succeeded.
SMS [ do not answer ] : anyway, yeah, no, i can't. sorry.
ALEX
SMS [ trash pile ] : if you mean you went though a closed window and got covered in glass, sure, you succeeded.
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : you're just bitter because you lost the bet. word to the wise, alex, never ever bet against basher moran
ALEX
SMS [ trash pile ] : it’s fine, I put the window repairs in your card.
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : that's fine too; "my" card is actually august's card.
ALEX
SMS [ trash pile ] : should have known going for your wallet was a liability.
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : i mean, probably, yeah. you're fingers are so sticky, i'd have to be stupid to carry my real wallet when i'm meeting up with you.
AUGUST
sms [ clusterfuck ]: And my card is really the inheritance fund so you might as well do something useful with it, Alex.
sms [ clusterfuck ]: I'm out of town until Sunday. But if you need a place to crash I'm sure you'll find your way in.
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : you could have told me! if i'd known it was dear old dad's money i was spending, i'd have blown the whole lot a long time ago
SMS [ do not answer ] : where out of town, exactly?
AUGUST
sms [ clusterfuck ]: which is exactly why they wouldn't give it to me all at once.
sms [ clusterfuck ]: what? you looking to come along?
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : killjoys
SMS [ do not answer ] : nope, not if you're where i think you are. just seeing if you'll tell me the truth.
ALEX
SMS [ trash pile ] : dammmmmn well seeing as I’ve had to put up with you shitheads for so many years I’m glad your daddy’s finally paying up
SMS [ trash pile ] : better get me a fridge magnet from wherever you are
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : oh yeah, i heart surrey, just what you've always wanted. not.
ALEX
SMS [ trash pile ] : at least August gets me stuff rather than BREAKING MY FLAT
SMS [ trash pile ] : I have a lot less anger towards your dad now he’s going to pay for my MOT
SMS [trash pile] : is this what rich kid life is like??
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : oh yeah? why don't you get august to bring you daddy's ashes back as well then, so you can bow and scrape before the urn, really say thank you?
AUGUST
sms [ clusterfuck ]: I'd happily tell you but you could just as easily ask your boss. Your passive aggressive shit must be rubbing off on him.
sms [ clusterfuck ]: but seriously, by all means, spend away.
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : alright, well, i guess saturday night's on me after all then
SMS [ do not answer ] : jim asked you to work? why did he ask you and not me?
AUGUST
sms [ clusterfuck ]: because he actually gives a damn about you and I'm still expendable, apparently.
sms [ clusterfuck ]: Don't have a fridge magnet, Alex, but I got a pretty nice knife off the bitch who tried to stab me with it.
ALEX
SMS [trash pile] : bash calm down, it’s probably better not to be mr. Narcissistic fucks favours?
SMS [ trash pile] : JUST CHECKING but was this bitch very short and in a blonde wig??
AUGUST
sms [ clusterfuck ]: No...?
ALEX
SMS [ trash pile ] : okay that makes me feel a whole lot better
SMS [ trash pile ] : shall we do another weekend if August can’t make it?? We need someone with more than one brain cell.
AUGUST
sms [ clusterfuck ]: Yeah, no. It was a man with a death wish. You'd know if you tried to stab one of us... right?
ALEX
SMS [ trash pile ] : I mean you’d really hope so but it’s not unheard of
SMS [ trash pile ] : I stab a lot of people
AUGUST
sms [ clusterfuck ]: Fair enough.
ALEX
SMS [ trash pile ] : if you’re not in Berlin right now you’re probably safe
SMS [ trash pile ] : probably
AUGUST
sms [ clusterfuck ]: Just stick to the plan. I'll be there Sunday to pick you all up off the floor.
sms [ clusterfuck ]: Or bail you out.
ALEX
SMS [ trash pile ] : I’ve got brunch with Sam Sunday
SMS [ trash pile ] : if we survive
AUGUST
sms [ clusterfuck ]: You really think you'll make that date? I'd reschedule that if anything.
ALEX
SMS [ trash pile ] : ITS NOT A DATE
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : yeah, but does sammy know that?
ALEX
SMS [ trash pile ] : I need coffee and avocado toast to fix the hangover
SMS [ trash pile ] : we. are. not. dating.
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : yeah, but, again ... does he know that?
AUGUST
sms [ clusterfuck ]: I have coffee and a toaster. Just tell Sam to bring your avocado and something for the rest of us. We can interrogate him then.
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : shall i ask jim if he still has those thumbscrews lying around? i mean, it's better to do these things thoroughly, wouldn't you say?
ALEX
SMS [ trash pile ] : I wish I had stabbed you
AUGUST
sms [ clusterfuck ]: I was just thinking about questioning him. But you know, now that you mention it. How well do you think he'd hold up? Hypothetically.
ALEX
SMS [ Trash pile ] : this is a conversation we are not having
AUGUST
SMS [ do not answer ] : yeah, it's pointless -- so much easier just to find out for real
ALEX
SMS [ trash pile ] : if we were dating, which we very much aren’t, why would you need to interrogate him? It’s SAM
SMS [ trash pile ] : he’s stitched you ALL up
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : yeah, but are you not dating in the way jim and i aren't dating, or are you not dating in the way that august isn't dating anyone at all?
AUGUST
sms [ clusterfuck ]: A fair question.
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : fair point. you know, though, sammy's pretty steely. i think he could go at least a couple of rounds.
AUGUST
sms [ clusterfuck ]: With his background I'm honestly just curious if he can take it as well as he dished it out.
SEB
sms [block]: oh are we talking about torturing sam? im down
sms [block]: im with august think itd be interesting
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : yes, aha, 3 against 1, alex, sorry -- you've been outvoted!

SMS [trash pile] : IM NOT A LADY FUCKING TAKE THAT BACK
SMS [trash pile] : listen just cause I’m the only one who hangs around with people who aren’t psychotic murderers

BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : i could take you and alex on and once and still come out without a scratch on me
SEB
sms [block]: well now thats just bragging
sms [block]: but this is 1 on 1 you can fight alex another time
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : gladly, mate
ALEX
Alex Moran has left the chat
SEB
sms [block]: oh perfect we can plan the torture without worrying she'll tattle to sam
AUGUST
Sms [ clusterfuck ]: Oh hey Seb. How's it going?
SEB
sms [block]: just another day of making sure my sister doesn't murder me
AUGUST
Sms [ clusterfuck ]: I see you two ran Alex off again.. yep pretty much what I was about to guess.
SEB
sms [block]: these things happen when we're left unsupervised
AUGUST
Sms [ clusterfuck ]: Understandable. Unfortunately we should probably keep Sam in one piece if you're out picking fights.
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : it's a shame, but ... he kind of has a point, you know
SEB
sms [block]: it really is
sms [block]: as much as i also hate to agree
sms [block]: and i dont think sticking him in a basement overnight is going to do much
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : we could always try the interrogation tactics they taught us in the army?
SEB
sms [block]: well. thatd probably be logical
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : that way he'd be physically fine afterwards, hopefully mentally competent enough to patch you back up as well
SEB
sms [block]: ur so smug about assuming there wont be one single mark on you
sms [block]: but as long as he can hold a needle and use it properly then yeah should be alright
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : ah no, i'm not that arrogant, i just know i can cope with a couple of cuts and bruises
SMS [ do not answer ] : i know i'll have had worse
SEB
sms [block]: fair enough
sms [block]: we'll see if you can do enough damage to actually make me get stitches or whatever
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : if you end up needing stitches, i'll buy the first round
SMS [ do not answer ] : fair's fair, yeah?
SEB
sms [block]: yeah thats fair
BASH
SMS [ do not answer ] : excellent, well then, i'll see you saturday
SEB
sms [block]: sounds good. ill be ready
