Bea & Fraze Pt. 1

Bea: [Okay, so at Fraze’s birthday drinks, wherever you children may be, we would literally walk away without it fully being a storm out because we’re not trying to draw that sort of attention to ourselves, more the energy of removing ourself from this immediate circle and finding someone on the edge to talk to before fully leaving when the fuss had died down so it didn’t look reactionary]

Bea: Sorry had to leave, enjoy the rest of your party 🥳

Fraze: [when you see it cos you’re your mother’s son and you too notice things especially when they’re related to what Bea is doing but you can’t say anything obvs because the why of her reaction is blatant]

Fraze: Alright, cheers, I will do

Bea: Try not to throw up this time 🍻

Fraze: have to try harder to put a jinx on

Bea: I’m not your sister

Fraze: No? Deffo would’ve slipped us mind if you’d not said, cheers again for that

Bea: Ha, suppose you’re entitled to one free insult, given

Fraze: if only you’d have said before now

Bea: You can regret wasting your opportunity tomorrow

Fraze: Yeah, what else is it good for? Be years before there’s hangovers

Bea: Bit too old for a sugar crash now

Fraze: about a decade past it, like

Bea: They’ve not known you as long as I have, they’ll probably buy it

Fraze: Too old to dream of the stage if I’m anything

Bea: You want to follow Tommy to stage school, yeah?

Fraze: you want rid that desperately?

Bea: Of you or Tommy?

Fraze: I know how you feel about watching his performances

Bea: Rude of you to imply I’m anything less than supportive of his endeavours

Fraze: bullshit of you to call it support when you’re suffering through it with maybe a touch more grace than the rest of us

Bea: I can’t help being more graceful

Bea: and he feels the glow of 👏 all the same, doesn’t he

Fraze: and I can’t help being less tactful

Fraze: everyone’s a critic, about time he got his head round the fact

Bea: I never expected you to be

Bea: as long as a critic isn’t all you are, of course

Fraze: Who the fuck am I if I’m the one thing and nothing else?

Fraze: and that predictable, you reckon, while I’m at it

Bea: I don’t know, Joe and Ray? All they have are complaints

Bea: I didn’t say you were predictable, just that I’m good at anticipating outcomes

Fraze: Deffo not a question off your homework, you ain’t gotta make me sound as if I am

Bea: Why, you want to be unpredictable, do you

Fraze: over the alternative of boring cunt already, ‘course I do, why wouldn’t I?

Bea: As I was only complimenting myself, not insulting you, I’m sure you don’t need to worry

Bea: they probably all find you very entertaining

Fraze: Probably? I thought you knew it all, what you hedging your bets all of a sudden for?

Bea: Gambling is for idiots, if that was knowable, everyone would be doing it

Fraze: no risk, no reward, babe, you do know that

Bea: There’s a big difference between being a poker shark and losing your life savings on horses and men who earn it and more in a week kicking a ball about

Bea: some games require a level of skill, others are a literal roll of the dice

Fraze: tell me something I don’t know

Bea: but I already got you a gift

Fraze: but you left early enough to owe me another by rights

Bea: How popular do you think implementing that little rule would make you

Bea: a party, not a hostage situation, yeah?

Fraze: Since when do I care

Fraze: about rules or popularity

Bea: Maybe now you’re officially a teenager, like all the cards said

Bea: one out of two, anyway

Fraze: you said it, roll of the dice, no skill required

Bea: yeah, I was right

Fraze: never wrong, yeah?

Bea: Rarely enough it’s not a problem, sure

Fraze: Come on then, something I dunno, tell me

Bea: That’s a loaded question

Fraze: and it’s my birthday, you ain’t allowed to refuse me, end of

Bea: Oh, really, Don Corleone 😏

Bea: I already know you’re going to claim to already know it OR say it’s too boring to bother letting you know, that’s not playing fair

Fraze: Life ain’t fair, didn’t take me 13 years to work out

Fraze: it’s what you make it, same as what you do with your hand, shit or boss is up to you

Bea: Only when the other players can be bluffed

Bea: otherwise if it looks and smells like bullshit…

Fraze: every cunt can be, except for you

Bea: Just don’t play against me and you’ll win every time, then

Fraze: I know, I’m still waiting for something I don’t

Bea: I’m deciding

Fraze: …

Bea: Funny

Bea: but why rush me, you want it to be worth knowing, don’t you

Fraze: if I was rushing you, you’d know it

Bea: I’m familiar

Fraze: take your time then

Bea: I know for a fact you won’t know this, because I only overheard it from her to her best friend

Fraze: Do you know for a fact I wanna hear it, the real question

Bea: I can’t see why you wouldn’t, so, close enough to risk it

Fraze: alright, let’s have it

Bea: When she was on holiday, at Easter, she met this lad and she wanked him off before they went home

Bea: you’re welcome, like

Fraze: Jesus

Bea: What?

Fraze: I’d wanna hear that ‘cause why?

Bea: Now you know you aren’t wasting your time, or she’s wasting it for you, rather

Fraze: you’re a proper headcase sometimes

Bea: Fuck off

Fraze: nah, you are

Bea: You don’t need to be scared about it

Bea: if you really don’t want to, she might’ve only did it because she never has to see him again, it’s not a definite

Fraze: I ain’t scared about nothing, least of all what she’s done or could do

Bea: Then don’t have a go at me

Bea: you didn’t say tell me something good

Fraze: my birthday it’s a given you don’t tell me she’s a massive slag

Bea: I didn’t

Fraze: fuck’s sake

Bea: It’s one handjob, calm down

Fraze: You wound me up, don’t get to tell me to stop as soon as

Bea: I thought you’d be pleased

Fraze: bullshit, you’re pleased

Bea: Why would I be?

Bea: nothing to do with me

Fraze: right again, it ain’t, but here the fuck you are putting yourself in the middle of it as per

Bea: If you’re so upset she’s done this before, you should take it up with her

Fraze: after I’m done taking it up with you that you’re in my fucking business

Bea: She sort of made it the whole party’s business

Bea: but I’ve left, so it’s definitely not mine or me you’re in a mood with

Fraze: Cheers for telling me how I feel along with the rest, well big of you

Bea: Well you aren’t allowed to be anything but buzzing on your birthday

Fraze: don’t have to share this party, what more do I want?

Bea: Don’t have to be home yet, nights still young, could get whatever else you might

Fraze: Piss poor show if I can only get what I want one night a year

Bea: Take what you can get, yeah

Fraze: do better and earn what you get

Bea: there’s always tomorrow

Fraze: yeah, no cunt’s taking that from me

Bea: I can leave you to tonight as well

Fraze: I don’t want you to leave me

Bea: Fraze

Fraze: What?

Bea: I only left the party

Fraze: my party, it’s a dead loud and clear message

Bea: just because I didn’t want to watch her stick her tongue down your throat, it’s not about you

Fraze: I never asked for it either

Bea: You didn’t have to see it, just experience it, s’different

Fraze: you know what I mean

Bea: ‘course

Fraze: It’s you it’s different for, you can leave if you wanna, when

Bea: You don’t have to do it again, if you don’t want to

Fraze: that’s where you’re wrong, same time next year, like it or not

Bea: Definitely what I meant

Fraze: I meant don’t start

Bea: according to you I already have

Bea: too late for your own advice/warning there

Fraze: alright, don’t be stupid

Fraze: it’s never too late not to treat me like a cunt who don’t need your advice/warnings

Bea: What do you mean?

Fraze: I can do what I want, don’t need telling

Bea: Oh, but it was you who said you couldn’t do what you wanted, I said the opposite

Bea: I’d doubt the strength of your argument if I was forgetting which side I was on that fast, personally

Fraze: I can’t leave the party, nah, but doing what I like while I’m here’s the biggest given there is, there’s the distinction and there’s no doubt about it

Bea: So, have fun?

Bea: I haven’t given you any advice or warnings

Fraze: you’re forgetting your own ‘you don’t have to if you don’t wanna’ speech

Bea: Sounded like you needed it

Bea: Be a shit sort of person if I didn’t give you that… obvious reminder of basic consent, at best

Fraze: I ain’t no kid, I’m older than you

Fraze: since it sounds like a reminder you need

Bea: A month and 16 days

Bea: isn’t even nearing a half or any other childish measure

Fraze: you who’s counted if you wanna chat childish measures

Bea: when we were kids, I just haven’t forgotten

Fraze: then you’re well aware I can look after myself

Bea: If I was trying to look after you, I would’ve stayed

Fraze: Dramatic exit’s loads more important

Bea: Hardly

Bea: if I was being dramatic, I’d have taken someone else with me as I went

Fraze: petty’s what that’d be called

Bea: Rose by any other name, like

Fraze: You’ll get ‘em in a month and 16 days, not a sec before

Fraze: know you ain’t forgot that either

Bea: Should I?

Fraze: it’s tradition, still a man of my word even when you don’t reckon I am one

Bea: Doesn’t need to be if you’ve grown out of it

Fraze: Sound like my mum now, you do

Bea: how’d you work that out

Fraze: I ain’t gonna outgrow you, not a bike or a school jumper

Bea: Thanks, I think? 🤔

Bea: don’t make it sound like such a chore then

Fraze: I didn’t

Bea: then why do I only get flowers one day a year

Fraze: I dunno, you’ve never got a spare vase to put them in more than once a year?

Bea: lucky for you that wasn’t a trick question

Fraze: thank christ I didn’t waste my birthday candles on it

Bea: Be something to cry about

Fraze: Ray’ll have that covered

Bea: Obviously

Fraze: can still do your own tears of joys if you like when you find roses all about tomorrow

Bea: shut up

Bea: I don’t cry, you know that

Fraze: you’re too smart for it, yeah

Bea: I’m not an attention seeker

Bea: but I’d sooner start bawling than cover my face in cheap metal like her

Fraze: Would have to outgrow you then, like

Bea: be why you have there, even with the matching birthday

Fraze: she started it

Bea: she regressed, more like

Bea: not that she’d ever made a ton of progress

Fraze: Whatever you wanna call it, don’t make no odds

Bea: Not to you

Bea: not the brother she wants to look after her

Fraze: exactly, she picked her side before you even knew us

Bea: What would you have done

Fraze: That a trick question?

Bea: no

Bea: Seriously, what if you were in Joe’s place

Fraze: I could never be him, he made his bed, I’ve done my own

Bea: Play along, it’s a hypothetical

Fraze: not a game though, state of both of ‘em

Bea: no

Bea: but maybe it’d have been different, swapped

Fraze: She’d not be in such a state if she was my shadow instead of his, obviously

Bea: There you go then

Fraze: there’s no point thinking like that ‘cause she ain’t

Bea: It’s not too late, to swap

Fraze: Yeah it is

Bea: fine

Fraze: come on, Bea, what are we playing this fucking game for?

Bea: I’m not stopping you from playing whatever tired drinking games are being pushed

Fraze: Nah, you just reckon you’re in the way of me and my sister being bezzies or some bullshit

Bea: it’s only what she’s reckoned since I had to move in, not news

Fraze: she’s reckoned you and my mum are, I don’t get even a hypothetical friendship bracelet, never have done

Bea: Yeah well she doesn’t reckon I wanna be your mate, as if she’s got the first clue

Fraze: Yeah well, tonight you don’t

Bea: I’m not popping in her inbox to let her know

Fraze: shame

Bea: you can, if you wanna make her day

Fraze: why would I wanna do that?

Bea: Sounds like you’re feeling generous

Fraze: Make it sound more like a one off

Bea: It isn’t

Fraze: you can’t forget who I am on my birthday, even hypothetically

Bea: just saying, the drunker you get, the worse decisions you’ll make, she’s got a shot, like

Fraze: Charming, you having me collect regrets by the number of empties, what a right laugh that’d be

Bea: What else are birthdays for?

Bea: candles are a waste whatever you’re wishing for

Fraze: Cunts who wish don’t spend time making shit happen for themselves, that ain’t me however drunk I get

Bea: I suppose not

Fraze: make my own luck more than 1 day a year

Bea: no need for me to wish you it then

Fraze: no, right again, Red

Bea: just say see you around instead

Fraze: Goodnight

Bea: works too 👋

Fraze: [Where should we skip to re- this gf situation do you think?]

Bea: [Can literally be whenever you want because we’re hardcore ignoring you is the vibe so you’d have to start any conversation]

Fraze: [Maybe we could do a you two having to babysit Rocky for some reason cos that’s how you got together and broke the awkwardness OG]

Bea: [that sounds good to me girl]

Fraze: [it seems legit for this era and an easy thing to fit in before her bday]

Fraze: Where are you?

Fraze: you ain’t forgot, you wish

Bea: I haven’t forgot anything, I’m on my way back

Fraze: Some time before he’s in bed’d be good

Bea: if I said I’m on my way, I mean it

Fraze: yeah? Class, there’s 0 problem then

Bea: Why would there be, I’ve only been at school, I’m 10 minutes away

Fraze: You tell me, you who’s usually got one

Bea: I don’t waste my time inventing them for something to do

Fraze: you and me both

Bea: Glad we’re both thriving

Fraze: ‘course you are

Bea: Enough small talk, do we need anything, I’ll be passing the shop on my way

Fraze: [a little v boring shopping list of whatever essentials mcvickers be lacking rn cos they’re busy af]

Bea: Got it

Fraze: see you soon, like

Bea: that’s the orders, unfortunately

Fraze: Give me mine if there’s anything you need a hand carrying back

Bea: So well trained already, is it

Fraze: you’ve not had no growth spurt, thriving or not

Bea: is now the time to rub it in that you have

Fraze: if you’re gonna be dead stubborn for the sake of

Bea: I wouldn’t do anything for the sake of, must be necessary

Fraze: only got yourself to blame when I reckon it’s necessary to rub it in then, don’t you

Bea: Whatever helps get you through, boy

Fraze: All about doing me favours again, all of a sudden

Fraze: bit sly

Bea: Can take it or leave it

Bea: no one about to tell you to play nice

Fraze: I’ll follow your lead, ladies first

Bea: When am I ever anything less than perfectly civil

Fraze: nobody about to tell you you’ve gotta mind your manners

Bea: it’s always implied for me

Fraze: You apply it to yourself

Bea: no

Fraze: yeah

Bea: blood always wins, that’s a fact of life

Fraze: It’s too late for any threats to hold weight is the fact of life, been ages since they signed on the dotted line, a contract’s a contract, don’t gotta have used blood for it

Bea: Wouldn’t stop them taking your side over any and everything, or us becoming nothing more than burdens they’re stuck with

Fraze: since when are we on different sides?

Bea: I’m just saying

Fraze: Don’t, I’d never turn nobody against you

Bea: not intentionally, I’m sure

Fraze: not any way

Bea: that only works because I’m behaving

Fraze: We’d all us be out the door if those was the rules, littlest first

Bea: you don’t get it

Fraze: bullshit, it’s been drummed into me often enough you’re part of this fucking family, that was rule 1

Bea: Has repeating it enough times made it true though, no

Fraze: Shouldn’t need repeating you’re stuck here same as the rest of us

Bea: I didn’t say I wasn’t grateful to be here, we’re still not family

Fraze: tell it to mum and dad, they treat you as one of their own, for better and worse

Bea: Why would I do a stupid thing like that

Bea: not your sister having a strop

Fraze: Funny, you sound loads like her

Bea: Really

Fraze: you’ve done fuck all but complain on this 10 minute walk

Bea: I’ve pointed out I’m not your sister and you’ve got butthurt

Bea: sounds like your problem

Fraze: I know who you are

Bea: Doesn’t fucking sound like it

Fraze: yeah well, you started it

Bea: Nah, I didn’t

Fraze: Wasn’t me pointing out we’re at war with each other or how easy you reckon we could be

Bea: and you started it

Fraze: that ain’t true

Bea: For God’s sake, what then, agree to disagree

Bea: I don’t care

Fraze: Fine

Bea: [lol, it’s definitely not but get back with this shopping]

Fraze: [swap the shopping bags for a bub cos don’t need an excuse to be gentlemanly and put it away but soz Rocky we’re using you as one]

Bea: [you are very little sir so you’d be at the two hour feed stage still probably, hence looking after you is an actual job and not just watching you ‘til someone is back like a slightly older baby, looking at the time and working out whether Fraze has just fed him or you need to before either sitting and feeding him on the sofa or just sitting with him on said sofa]

Fraze: [he probably has because he is nothing if not that bitch who gets shit done, hopefully you’re gonna call through and tell her so she doesn’t have to guess/try and do it again]

Bea: [‘okay’ as a response because can’t commit to anything more at this current moment]

Fraze: [put the shopping away boy and then you gotta come in having brought her whatever beverage she would normally have at this after school o clock cos you just know that and you can then again swap the baby for it, casual pass the parcel]

Bea: [at least we’ve already put the TV on for said bub so there is some background noise and distraction available to y’all ‘thanks’ this time because you can’t get away with an okay for that, and a half-smile before looking away again]

Fraze: [I like to think he’s sitting as far away as he can from her without it being blatant so the actual drama of looking at her when she speaks despite the shrug being like nbd ‘What do you want for tea if they’re not back?’ cos truly god knows where mcvickers are rn but it must be important if they’re both doing it]

Bea: [just spouting off something that everyone will eat without fuss like that’s obvious with our own shrug and a sigh]

Fraze: [‘I asked you’ with the pure energy of give a shit what everyone else wants I can sort that separately if I have to]

Bea: [looking back at you to raise a brow because we know you don’t really care about eating ‘what do you want?’ like you’re asking because you’re angling for something different than we suggested]

Fraze: [a look like no what do you, because we know damn well she don’t wanna eat lowkey ever and we’re trying to make this evening the least shit it can possibly be even if that means we simply go and get you your fave sweets or cigarettes or something]

Bea: [shaking our head like we’re amused because it is a little bit that you’re making such a huge thing out of this, even though we know why and it’s because this is so awkward]

Fraze: [‘come on, babe, play the game’ as if this is so casual and not at all awkward, the audacity to call her babe when you have a gf sir just btw]

Bea: [‘and what do I win?’ like I don’t want a curry or whatever it is on offer so why would I]

Fraze: [holds this bub up like I’ll keep it to be nice if you’re nice to me]

Bea: [laugh ‘you can’t go out and see [this gal’s name] anyway’ like what else are either of us gonna do, we’re both stuck as you said]

Fraze: [‘could invite her round’ with another shrug like it’s not a massive threat]

Bea: [‘on a school night?’ rolling our eyes like you wish she’d be allowed]

Fraze: [‘don’t matter to nobody except you’ calling her a swot, true but bit rude]

Bea: [‘and her parents’ like let me reiterate my point that neither of you are as grown up as you’re pretending to be]

Fraze: [‘they’d let her round for tea’ like calm down she doesn’t have to sleep here for me to make my point]

Bea: [‘she’d have had it when she got home’ ‘cos the vibe is we were at an after school thing so that would’ve been an hour or so ago now ‘bath, teeth, hour of telly and homework, bed’ like duh, no time for an impromptu date in that packed schedule]

Fraze: [the most unimpressed noise ever cos you know she’s right, and the reality likely is that she wouldn’t be allowed anyway because everyone thinks your fam is weird and they are lol]

Bea: [shaking our head and turning back ‘round to pick up a magazine or something ‘most people’s parents aren’t like yours’ just spitting facts but does sound a bit harsh to mcvickers soz guys]

Fraze: [‘no shit’ cos he’s not stupid he knows this fam is fucked he’s just not being joeray about it, and literally where are you mcvickers leaving these tweens with your newborn]

Bea: [maybe it’s parents evening or something for the younger ones ‘cos clearly none of you are here either rn so something to do with y’all, get up and head back to the kitchen like ‘I’m gonna make [what she suggested] now so they can all grab some when they’re back’]

Fraze: [you gotta let her, you lost that battle hun]

Bea: [soz boy, we’re not here to make friends lmao]

Fraze: [what fun y’all are having rn, soz not soz]

Bea: [it’s so painfully awkward, oh lads, at least this will keep you busy for the foreseeable]

Fraze: [can’t even actually call or text your gf to distract you cos you don’t like her enough to wanna talk to her, unlucky]

Bea: [who doesn’t look crashing ‘round a kitchen banging all the doors and pots about, lmao]

Fraze: [at least he can come in eventually under the pretense that he has got this baby to sleep so shhh please, doing a shh is always a hot move]

Bea: [can say you’re nearly done so you have a gesture that isn’t just staring at him like go sit down at the table then, sir]

Fraze: [do please, shamelessly is staring at her doing her thing though, probs thinking about when he was a lil bub and he said he wanted to marry her nbd]

Bea: [soz that whatever this family can agree on liking is probably not the absolute slay you want it to be hun, probably some kind of pasta dish because who does not like pasta except Geoffrey I ask you but you’ve still served for what it is]

Fraze: [I had spag bol in my head for that exact reason, honestly, like Ro is probably already fussy af but you know, f the haters, and we all know damn well you’re not boy and she has clearly slayed it so you can enthusiastically eat it at least]

Bea: [we’re never pleasing you ma’am but you can be as fussy about every meal so it makes no odds to us, there will be some salad waiting for you undoubtedly lol, meanwhile we can just lowkey watch you eat like ahh yes, well done me]

Fraze: [1000% making you wash up boy, you don’t get any say in it, it’s simply the nice thing to do when someone has cooked for you and you can’t be leaving it for your parents when they’re clearly struggling with this bub]

Bea: [honey, you got a big storm coming, poor Rocky]

Fraze: [he’s gonna think baze are his parents, don’t think about it]

Bea: [ooop, it was frankly disgusting of us to then kill you too, how dare we, they’ll be V upset]

Fraze: [I hadn’t even considered that nor do I want to, we’re evil actually, gonna just pretend none of that is happening thank you ‘thought you’d be up in the bath’ once he’s washed up cos referring to her earlier little schedule but it do just sound like you’re thinking about it tbh babe]

Bea: [our thoughts exactly so we’re just 😏 at you like excuse me]

Fraze: [he has no shame so just shrugging back at her like it was your schedule, nothing to do with me]

Bea: [‘should take advantage of it before the hot waters all gone’ shrugging back like true, no one is here right now]

Fraze: [‘yeah’ cos true and the baby is asleep so nothing you can do here either]

Bea: [‘what are you gonna do?’ said casually enough but why do you care]

Fraze: [nod towards the tv because not really much else you can do and you’re clearly not gonna start your homework are you sir]

Bea: [‘boring’ but in a we’re both stuck her together vibe not like you are flop]

Fraze: [‘you’re not that much my sister’ like soz we can’t share a bath rn but ‘and there’s the growth spurt’ would we even fit, not that he’s thinking about it, nope]

Bea: [nudge him like eww but we’re 😳 ‘idiot’]

Fraze: [‘pure hypocritical’ like are you my sister or aren’t you, what’s the truth mcvickers, said as if it’s bants but we all know he’s actually annoyed about it and to this day feeling like wtf is her place in this fam and how do you expect me to behave or react literally ever]

Bea: [‘bit old for that, if I was’ with such pointed @ joeray energy about it because we all know y’all are weird and we said what we said]

Fraze: [‘someone’s gotta be’ cos yeah, agreed @ those weirdos and also the Ro and Ali intense energy that also exists that we’re just hoping they’ll actually grow out of]

Bea: [‘big of you’ taking that one for the team energy but we obviously are too so not being shady]

Fraze: [just 😏 like yep that’s me SO great]

Bea: [nudge him again to push yourself up and away like okay, I’ll go then ‘won’t be long’]

Fraze: [‘take your time’ because it’s awkward but also no reason you should rush cos he’s obvs got this]

Bea: [smile like thanks and go girl]

Fraze: [must resist the urge to message her when she’s in said bath, they are not past us flirting away]

Bea: [lmao my boo says no ma’am, not on those kind of terms right now]

Fraze: [he would but on what flimsy grounds, boy, she’ll just think you do want her to hurry up and do need help with this newborn]

Bea: [when you have to resist, unfortunate, at least you wouldn’t be like me having hour long baths because there are only 2 bathrooms in this house so very used to rushing as a rule]

Fraze: [and if you’re expecting mcvickers back you don’t want it to look like you’ve been in the bath doing fuck all and left him to it]

Bea: [mhmm, like you’ll probably allow yourself a decadent half hour to do some self-care you don’t usually have time to do]

Fraze: [absolutely MUST do the thing when she comes back like she’s a kid and he’s a parent and he’s seeing if she did her teeth because it was next on the list and it’s flirting sweethearts, just like ‘you remember your teeth, yeah?’ and beckoning her to him to a dangerously close level]

Bea: [obviously we have to front it out and bare our teeth at you despite voicing how ridiculous we think you’re being, we’re not going to not do it and look like we’re too embarrassed]

Fraze: [just lol at her calling out of his silliness as obvs ‘better swap before it’s too late’ deliberate phrasing of the fact you’re just gonna go take your own shower before anyone returns and equally deliberate moving past her to do so in the flirtiest way possible]

Bea: [‘good boy’ like we’re soothing Rocky as we take him but we’re like lol look at you following rules that your parents aren’t even here to enforce/the schedule]

Fraze: [telling Rocky to play up while we’re gone cos we know damn well what you’re getting at gal]

Bea: [just at this baby like as if you would]

Fraze: [go have your shower sir, you’re not a gross trash boy like Joseph]

Bea: [thank god lmao, we would not be so jealous then honey]

Fraze: [whoever this girl is I guarantee she’s not as beautiful, just facts, but come down when you’re smelling nice and your hair is wet and you look cute your own self because she do be jealous and I do be evil]

Bea: [when you scowl at him before you can think to make your face neutral so you just have to go with it ‘had to change his nappy’ like you’re so fuming at baby Rocky about it lmao]

Fraze: [laugh cos you told him to misbehave and he did]

Bea: [at least you can scowl some more and hand over this child like you have him back]

Fraze: [take him, we know it’ll only make you look cuter]

Bea: [have to find a task to focus on whilst we pout so start painting your nails and do not look at him under any circumstance]

Fraze: [soz that he’s gonna watch her do this because concentration face is always a mood and we love to see it]

Bea: [‘I can feel you watching me’]

Fraze: [‘and?’ it’s how unrepentant he is always, for me]

Bea: [‘proper headcase’ of course we’ve been waiting to throw that one back at you]

Fraze: [‘Don’t have my glasses on’ like don’t flatter yourself I can’t see you from this distance away anyway]

Bea: [‘explains a lot’ casually calling this girl ugly when I’m sure she’s not duh]

Fraze: [‘been taking the phone messages as well?’ because like we said he do be being a dickhead at school in this moment so I’m sure they’ve tried to get in touch]

Bea: [‘they’d have to pay for me to be secretary as well’]

Fraze: [‘I’d not hold your breath’ full shade to mcvickers for being skint always, could never be baze honey]

Bea: [tilting our head in your direction like exactly ‘glorified babysitter it is’]

Fraze: [‘think on having to write down the bullshit that pair are doing’ cos joeray have been wilding hardcore since Rocky was a bump, so Fraze’s face like ugh imagine all the crying the teachers are doing rn]

Bea: [‘thank God she’s not in barely any of my classes’ with the same energy because we cannot entertain your shenanigans]

Fraze: [‘in none of her own neither’ cos it cannot be overstated how much Ray has entered her depression era since this child came into the world, soz mcvickers I know you have enough on]

Bea: [‘there isn’t anything you can do about it’ like she’s determined to fuck up her life]

Fraze: [‘can’t save anyone’ like I know, cos gotta bring back that phrase whenever I can]

Bea: [‘do you think she was better or worse when Joe was in high school and we weren’t?’]

Fraze: [‘What do you?’ cos clearly you have something you wanna say and we wanna hear]

Bea: [‘Well’ like where do I start ‘if we could split them up a bit, they might at least go back to that level’ because we know they were better than they are now, even though splitting them up wouldn’t necessarily achieve that but we’re just thinking here]

Fraze: [‘glorified babysitter it is’ cos keeping them apart or even trying to would be a task and a half you both know that]

Bea: [‘I might know someone who’s up for the job, for Joe, that is’ look up ‘cos we are being serious]

Fraze: [‘who’d you mean?’ because we seriously cannot imagine anyone wanting to take that job on, full offense Joe]

Bea: [‘[Amber Heard girl] from swimming’ because you’d have to do sports to be Cambridge bound and it makes sense for the gifs I have of her with Joseph in the pool lol ‘She’s older, hotter-’ shrug ‘-he would’ so soz Ray dragging you to filth and hatching this plan casually]

Fraze: [‘I have heard she’s west’ bringing the scouse out rarely but we see it, like yeah, true if she’s cray she also would]

Bea: [faint smile of recognition at said scouse and nodding like yeah, she is, because clearly you have had to interact with her enough for her to subtly be like I fancy your brother]

Fraze: [just thinking about whether she’s hot and old and cray enough for this to stand a chance of working cos he has had gfs before and they’d not lasted or separated the weirdos but nodding like you reckon she could be and it’s worth a shot at least]

Bea: [‘got nothing to lose’ because you don’t, really ‘I’ll set it up’ like it’s that casual]

Fraze: [‘alright, cheers’ thanking her even though it’s not for you really cos they are being a lot and it would be worrying even if you pretend you don’t care]

Bea: [just go back to painting your nails like nbd and then get your phone to message this girl when they’ve dried]

Fraze: [look after this baby so she can mastermind a plan, thanks]

Bea: [can show you her #buzzing response when she does like we’ve clearly implied he’s into you without promising you so you’ve gotta put in the werk here]

Fraze: [‘remind us not to get on your bad side’ it’s funny cos he is rn, not even remotely playing down how impressed we are at how good Bea is at this]

Bea: [poke him like you are reminding him right now because yes you are lmao but we’re pleased the plan is coming together]

Fraze: [just tease her by not giving her her phone back, it’s the safest form of playfight in response we can do atm]

Bea: [‘zero point you texting her’ as we try and get it back without fully allowing a playfight because we are not, like she don’t fancy you hun]

Fraze: [‘be a point, just not this one’ like it’d wind you up if nothing else babe but not what we’re here for]

Bea: [‘see how your girlfriend feels about that’ like oh really]

Fraze: [a look like we both know she’s not the boss of me]

Bea: [a look back like don’t try me then ‘stick to the plan’]

Fraze: [‘ain’t me needs telling’ as we give her the phone back, like make joeray stick to it sis, they’re the ones who might not]

Bea: [rolling our eyes ‘cos of course he will, we know boys, honey]

Fraze: [getting up to go for a smoke in the garden before anyone returns not that Tess can tell you off rn with everything else happening but still]

Bea: [very rude to not invite us]

Fraze: [ultimate shade]

Bea: [we’ve definitely gone up to our room and taken Rocky with when you come back in]

Fraze: Goodnight then

Bea: I have work to do

Fraze: giving you a hand, is he?

Bea: more than you

Fraze: I’ll pass on they’ve had another genius

Bea: tah

Bea: slightly less of a dickhead is more accurate

Fraze: what’s Ali done to you, like?

Bea: See, there you go again

Fraze: I’ve done nothing

Bea: You talk too much then

Fraze: you didn’t used to mind

Bea: things changed

Fraze: if you want me shut up, say it

Bea: you said you got the message, I did

Fraze: You love mixing your messages

Bea: Sure I do

Fraze: talking to you’s like a pub crawl

Bea: What is that even meant to mean

Fraze: it ain’t in code

Bea: There’s no point us pretending to understand each other

Fraze: I ain’t

Bea: you said it, you can do what you want

Bea: if it’s not as fun as you thought, that ain’t my fault

Fraze: I didn’t say it was your fault

Bea: You’re treating me like it is

Fraze: I’m treating you how you wanna be treated

Bea: How would you know

Fraze: so loud and clear with your messages, aren’t you?

Bea: You’ve never fucking asked, have you?

Fraze: I don’t fucking have to

Bea: How’s trusting your intuition been working for you

Fraze: Christ’s sake, you pure never stop

Bea: Why should I

Fraze: come on then, make it worse

Bea: I’m just sick of you

Fraze: Join the club, babe

Bea: I can’t help it that you can’t send me home after tea

Fraze: I can’t help it that I don’t wanna

Bea: We can’t even be in the same room any more

Fraze: Fuck putting a we on it like you didn’t do one first

Bea: you needed a fag break like you’re on shift

Fraze: that ain’t about you, they’ll be back soon, end of

Bea: still

Fraze: You wouldn’t be getting involved with Joe and [whatever Amber Heard’s name is] if shit was sound

Bea: They aren’t, they’re seriously messed up

Fraze: Exactly, and I ain’t gonna start acting like ‘em but that don’t mean I’m made up there’s another kid about no more than they are

Bea: I don’t think anyone is, no point starting messing him up with that fact now

Fraze: I’ll not, but them being fucked don’t change the fact they’ve got a point there

Bea: So, what, send him back?

Bea: If they would do even a fraction more, then your parents wouldn’t be as stressed

Bea: it’s mostly an issue because they’re so mental

Fraze: I’d trust your sister to watch him before I would either of them or the pair of ‘em together and she’d have him in a dress

Fraze: I’m just saying not everything I fucking do is about you or your fault

Bea: No shit, they’d probably sacrifice him, I meant going to school and shutting up more like

Bea: I didn’t say it was

Fraze: You’re sick of me, is what you said, yeah I heard it

Bea: just, this, all of it

Bea: I didn’t say it was your fault either

Fraze: you did it, we’re here ‘cause you couldn’t leg it from my birthday no faster, probably wanna be on the track team instead of swimming in all honesty

Bea: and you know full well why I had to

Fraze: You know it means nothing

Bea: that just makes it worse

Fraze: why?

Bea: because then why are you doing it

Fraze: ‘Cause now no cunt can say I’ve not tried

Bea: She makes me sick

Fraze: you and me both

Bea: I’m serious I want to stick pins under her eyelids

Fraze: Ray’ll have loads you can borrow

Bea: I don’t want to be like fucking Ray

Bea: it’s your fault

Fraze: you’re fuck all like her

Bea: just dump her and I won’t have to embarrass myself by acting anything like your sister, okay

Bea: that’s what I’m sick of

Fraze: okay

Bea: it isn’t, is it

Fraze: It will be, we’ve got a plan, yeah?

Bea: I can’t just ask you to do something and you do it

Fraze: what mum and dad do, works for them

Bea: basically signed that contract too

Fraze: I don’t wanna make you sick, I’ll do whatever it takes to not

Bea: I’m not sick I just

Bea: don’t like her

Fraze: You know what I mean, I ain’t Joe and you’re not Ray

Bea: Thank God

Bea: if Sadie wasn’t interested I’d have to do it myself

Fraze: Don’t

Fraze: that’d make me more west than any of ‘em

Bea: Be far worse for me

Bea: when’s the last time you went in his room, it’s bad

Fraze: Dunno, I make a point not to, what you going in there for?

Bea: I wanted to see if he had his notes from last year in [some class], not like I make a habit either on the reg

Fraze: how bad?

Bea: you wouldn’t want any of us going in there

Fraze: I should before he’s home, and hers

Bea: What are you going to do with what you find though

Fraze: literally or as a my head’s wrecked metaphor?

Bea: well, both, can start with literally

Fraze: Have a bonfire

Bea: alright

Bea: they’ll know it was us but they’re not going to have much to say, if the brief look I got was right

Fraze: I don’t care, no fucker else is doing nothing

Bea: And you already know what I know, no matter what you see, yeah

Bea: it’ll be alright

Fraze: yeah

Bea: I swear

Bea: their whole thing is trying to look scarier than they are, it doesn’t mean it’s real

Fraze: There’s fuck all they could do to scare me

Bea: okay

Fraze: they wish

Bea: Obviously

Bea: you want me to help or stay with Rocky

Fraze: Keep an eye on him and your other on the door

Bea: Will do

Fraze: [go do this and prepare to be shooketh]

Fraze: Coast’s still clear, yeah? Fuck knows how many trips to the garden this is

Bea: All good right now

Bea: be unlike them to show before curfew ever and you’ve got a little while before the rest are due

Fraze: How’s the kid?

Bea: another feed, another change, he can’t complain

Fraze: Bea

Bea: yeah?

Fraze: forget it, I don’t know what the fuck I can say to sort this out, only that we’ve gotta do better, us on our own if not them as well

Bea: I know

Bea: and I will

Bea: I won’t be so, you know

Fraze: nor me

Fraze: I need you, no other cunt round here’s gonna help me

Bea: We can sort it, we both know that can be true, we just have to try properly

Fraze: if it’s too late for them then it is, but I ain’t letting the younger kids go the same way

Bea: Don’t worry about Ro, I will deal with her

Fraze: There’s nothing to worry about, history ain’t repeating itself, we’re not sitting here and doing fuck all to stop it from now on

Fraze: I’ve seen it, they or mum and dad can’t say I ain’t

Bea: I’m just saying I’m aware she’s worse than Ali and Tommy but it’s okay, it’s fixable

Bea: I don’t get why they have to be like this

Fraze: Joe’s always been, I should’ve done more about it

Bea: They both need a prescription, a proper one

Fraze: The shit with the locks, it made sense back then, loads of what he did made sense living there, like that

Bea: We lived there too

Fraze: you’re right, I never fucking ask

Fraze: I’ve never sat her down and had a word about what’s in her head, why it’s him she wants to be hanging about with all the time

Bea: I think it’s obvious but

Bea: who knows, maybe she’ll say something surprising

Fraze: Obvious they’re west in the same way, yeah

Bea: Pretty much

Bea: I don’t see how he’s worse, she just follows his lead

Fraze: she’s as bad it just feels more fucked saying it, for me

Bea: I understand

Fraze: Jesus, if we didn’t only look alike

Fraze: you reckon you’re sick of me as I am

Bea: You aren’t the same just because you happened to get fertilized at the same time

Fraze: They’re the same and I don’t get it, like

Bea: All families are bits of each other, yeah

Bea: they’re just choosing to be like each other and only each other, that’s all

Fraze: why though, it’s fucking weird

Bea: Yeah it is

Bea: they just, like being weird?

Bea: easier than sorting their shit, I guess

Fraze: They can have the fresh start Dublin wasn’t for ‘em when I burn their shit

Bea: Good

Bea: they ain’t gonna thank you but it’s still what you should do

Fraze: ain’t my first thankless job, don’t reckon it’ll be my last

Bea: wouldn’t be a good bet to make, nah

Fraze: Thank christ you didn’t sign nothing in blood to be stuck here with all us

Bea: It isn’t forever

Fraze: not for you

Bea: or you

Fraze: I’ll help you get out with or without thanks, you can bet on it, but they’re my family, end of

Bea: That doesn’t mean you have to stay

Bea: you grow up, you get your own life, that’s what’s meant to happen

Fraze: It means wherever I go or whatever the fuck I do, if their bullshit messes keep needing to be sorted I have to try

Bea: It’s your choice

Fraze: giving up ain’t a choice, it’s a pussy move, that’s what I’m doing if I turn my back

Bea: they’re your family

Fraze: I’ve already fucked up too hard as is

Bea: It just seems like that’s what they do

Bea: their problems aren’t yours

Bea: if they don’t learn to act like their own people and deal with their own life, how are you being any different, really

Fraze: Shit, you’re right, that’s true

Bea: sorry, like

Bea: that’s just what I think

Fraze: it ain’t your fault you’re smart

Bea: If it was that dead easy, your parents would’ve handled it by now, they’re not thick

Bea: just might take you longer than 13 years to work it out as well

Fraze: Cheers

Bea: You know what I’m saying, I’m not trying to be a bitch

Fraze: it comes proper natural to you when we talk these days, I know

Bea: Whatever, you deserved it, clearly

Fraze: What birthdays are for, ‘course

Bea: You know I’m not going to apologize for that

Fraze: I don’t want it, be a proper pussy move if you did

Bea: What do you want then?

Fraze: Things ain’t changed enough you can ask me as if you dunno

Bea: You’ve already had a smoke, just don’t have your drink too close to the open flame, yeah

Fraze: Come out

Bea: [be a hot sec here whilst you debate and then get Rocky in his pram or basket so you can put him down in front of the french doors and leave it ajar so you can see and hear him without bringing him outside to this bonfire because it’s not ideal with the trash you are burning rn, hug your arms around yourself just looking at him like hey]

Fraze: [looking at her too intensely because we’re feeling too many emotions rn, but breaking it to give her a layer of clothing he doesn’t really have to spare because he’s just that bitch, will stand here half naked if it means this gal is not cold]

Bea: [just touching his arm he’s just exposed like you’ll freeze but we are taking said layer not turning it down, looking at the pile of things that are currently burning, staying closer to him as we moved to get the jacket or whatever it was]

Fraze: [so lightly tugging on her sleeve that is actually his sleeve now for those childhood mems and because there is so much he wants to say and has nearly said like !]

Bea: [likewise just cycling through all the things we could say but can’t in our head right now, looking down at his hand on the sleeve ‘I’m not sick of you’ when it’s the least of what you wanna say but at least it’s something]

Fraze: [‘Good’ understatement of the century but he cannot lose you as well if joeray are gonna fully be a lost cause which is already the vibe]

Bea: [moving your arm back so it pulls his too slightly ‘go on, say you ain’t sick of me as well’ like ha ha bants but we’re also like do say it thanks very much]

Fraze: [‘I’ve not ever said I was’ like excuse me that was all you]

Bea: [going to protest but thinking about it and he actually just agreed so we’re like ugh you tricked me but also a bit sad so we’re biting our lip and nudging you]

Fraze: [‘Don’t say nothing-’ pausing to look at her like fr don’t please ‘but I’ve gotta, I still love you, okay? I’ll always’ just dropping that truth like soz but if everything’s going to shit and is fucked and there’s not much I can do then I’m at least saying this right here and right now, not him saying still when he won’t have said he loves her since he was a child, it’s FINE]

Bea: [when your eyes are just getting wider and wider because you’re like how am I not meant to say anything to this but you also really want to try because he was clearly serious about it, so now you’re just stuck in silence like what DO you want me to do, somehow hoping you can communicate that with just your eyes nbd]

Fraze: [just slightly nudging her because you’ve been too vulnerable on main after the sights joeray have made you see and you don’t know what to do with yourself]

Bea: [‘I love you too’ really fast when he nudges her like if you get it out that quickly you’ve not broken that rule there]

Fraze: [fully turning to look at her in this firelight with your height diff, it’s cinematic, baby]

Bea: [truly, having to look up so high]

Fraze: [putting his arms around this smol gal, it’s nbd and we’re all coping wonderfully]

Bea: [at least you can hide in this hug right now because you’ll be fully in his chest]

Fraze: [‘and don’t go where I’ll not be able to find you’ because joeray have and it’s v sad honestly, but the crucial difference he is he’s not saying you can’t ever leave]

Bea: [just nod your head because we won’t ‘promise’ ‘I missed you’ in the quietest voice ever]

Fraze: [getting some ash out of her hair the way he would have a twig or a leaf on other occasions when they were younger and bebopping about, cos this is soft time ‘you don’t gotta no more’ that’s a promise of his own right there]

Bea: [instinctively squeezing you together because we’re still so unsure but we really want to believe it]

Fraze: [‘trust me’ cos we know but if she can ask him to dump his gf then he can ask for this is his thinking]

Bea: [moving back a small amount so we can look back up again but our chin is still resting on your chest here we’ve not really gone anywhere ‘you mean it like… not like-’ very helpful but we can’t bring ourselves to fully put words to it so we’re just giving you that]

Fraze: [‘I mean it like, you can, with everything you’ve got, ‘cause there’s nothing you could do to scare me either and I’ll not fuck up as bad as this again for-’ a pause while we stop as if to think but smirk actually ‘ages’]

Bea: [push him like oi but we’re smiling back so it’s not too deep]

Fraze: [turn it into a proper smile and hope the heart eyes aren’t hardcore af because we all know she looks beautiful on this day in this light]

Bea: [‘at least you’re honest’ because we’re trying not to be pure heart eyes here too]

Fraze: [‘least I can do’ shamelessly meaning for all the things you are and how amazing cos soz not soz it’s true, she’s an icon]

Bea: [shake your head ‘there’s a lot more I expect you to do’]

Fraze: [‘yeah?’ as if she’s gonna tell you everything rn immediately]

Bea: [just making a mhmm noise ‘nice try though’]

Fraze: [shaking his head in an oh you type manner, we love her, it’s confirmed]

Bea: [‘you mean you don’t know me well enough to guess no more?’ doing our own smirk]

Fraze: [‘know you better than to have to rely on guesses’ cos true]

Bea: [just raising a brow with the prove it going unspoken but heavily implied right now]

Fraze: [‘I’ve got nothing to prove, Red’ cos also true, putting in her mouth and lighting the cigarette she did not get earlier because it’s hot and I’ve gotta try not to let anything else hotter happen before her bday lol]

Bea: [lmao good luck, just raising this cigarette in thanks when we take hold of it like this is the only reason we came out]

Fraze: [take a sec to enjoy how great she looks cos smoking do be gross but it’s nevertheless a fact, I’m soz, probably have another one yourself because why wouldn’t you since you’re out here]

Bea: [Rocky is clearly behaving so thanks boy]

Fraze: [I feel bad we’ve never really used you and are killing you off, soz you fall in a weird gen 2/3 area hun]

Bea: [it’s unfortunate but yes we really have no use for you]

Fraze: [go and fetch you both drinks like you’re not on borrowed time with this parents evening or whatever anyway boy]

Bea: [we know they’d only have a mild go anyway, it’s fine lol]

Fraze: [exactly, other priorities always but especially rn]

Bea: [the fact you’re burning shit in the back garden might require more of a look in but hey ho]

Fraze: [not how they saw this babysitting sesh going but that’s okay baze didn’t either]

Bea: [joeray are gonna be pissed lmao ‘he looks like you’ after we’ve had a sip of our drink, nodding towards Rocky so you know who we’re talking about]

Fraze: [they are, make sure they don’t steal and destroy everything you own babe, but meanwhile,’him too? Shame for the little fucker’ but not really cos Fraze knows he’s not ugly and wears that face well looking at Rocky like 😏 yeah you’ll be alright if there’s any truth in that, kid]

Bea: [‘still outnumbered’ we’re talking about Joe like even though he’s a brunette too ‘maybe he’ll grow into it with his growth spurt’ and a casual shrug like yeah you’ve only just stopped looking weird lmao]

Fraze: [just looking at her with an incredible eyebrow raised like you really expect me to believe you’ve ever thought I wasn’t cute, I don’t think so hun]

Bea: [our own 😏 and ‘shut up’]

Fraze: [taking such an amused sip of his drink]

Bea: [putting a finger to his lips when he’s mid-sip to shh him in a playful attempt to get him to spit it out ‘told you you talk LOADS’]

Fraze: [‘quality as well as quantity though’ cos he did tell you he loves you a second ago so]

Bea: [doing the handwave like ehh sometimes but we’re doing hearteyes so]

Fraze: [‘I’ve missed this, you’ cos he has and he didn’t say it when she said it before]

Bea: [‘we’re a good team’ like everyone agrees and we shouldn’t be apart again]

Fraze: [knock your glasses together because he also agrees]

Bea: [drink to that, just staring at you over this glass so we don’t kiss you]

Fraze: [we’re gonna have to say mcvickers return with the younger kids so that don’t happen because he so would rn]

Bea: [it’s clearly been a minute so we’re not just doing it so we don’t lol, just shooting him a look that’s like make sure it’s not blatantly obvious you’re burning their shit and I’ll go deal and distract by telling them we’ve made tea and how many feeds and changes and naps this bub has had etc etc]

Fraze: [‘good team’ lowkey to himself as she goes because they really are and he really could not love her more]

Bea: [sorry they’re so competent at 13, making joeray look like absolute flops, awkward for yous, also when i wrote joeray on my phone it tried to change it to joe rat, such a burn]

Fraze: [when the mental illness and unhealthy coping mechanisms hit different for you, this is probably a good place to do a skip from, question is do we go straight to her bday or do some more before times?]

Bea: [we could do whenever he’s dumped her like the next day at school ‘cos sure her friends are giving death stares even though it’s not that deep because the age of it]

Fraze: [mhmm dumping her immediately like a lil savage, only didn’t via text/messenger over this bonfire because there was too much else going on and you’re not a priority, soz hun]

Bea: [honestly do not blame you, don’t need to do this in person, it’d be even worse, bow out gracefully hun]

Bea: you okay

Fraze: [not at all sorry that he’s gotta sit next to Bea again in as many lessons as possible instead of you, whoever you are gal]

Fraze: Yeah, why?

Bea: [undeniably so pleased about this, not sorry one bit]

Bea: Just checking

Bea: her mates pretending she ain’t, like

Fraze: Oh ‘cause of her, you mean

Fraze: come on, babe, I dunno what would make anyone reckon I give a shit about none of that

Bea: well, I know you have more important things on your mind

Bea: none of them can imagine a bigger drama 🙄

Fraze: I already know the answer, seeing as it’ll fuck your perfect attendance, but do you wanna not be here with me?

Bea: You know it’s more complicated than a yes or a no, definitely

Fraze: You overthink loads, dunno if anyone’s ever told you, like

Bea: Better than having no brain cells, though

Fraze: Not for me if they’re saying it’s a bad idea for you to leg it out of here

Bea: Only half of them

Bea: and I’m definitely not saying sorry for not being braindead

Fraze: alright, odds I’ll take

Bea: what do you wanna do, IF we go

Fraze: Ladies first, it ain’t the important bit, I don’t reckon

Bea: No?

Fraze: nah, it’s me and you, company’s what matters

Bea: well cute, you

Fraze: Honest at least, like you said

Bea: I wanna go

Fraze: You could be sick, show of her’s enough to make anyone

Bea: I don’t care either, she’s just playing pretend

Fraze: girls who ain’t you are dead dramatic

Bea: I’ll remember that the next time you wanna say otherwise 😋

Fraze: You start when you’ve a reason, most the time, that’s fair enough

Bea: I’d say the same for you

Fraze: cheers, I’ll not forget you’ve said as much either

Bea: as long as you don’t plan to make me regret it immediately

Fraze: Neither of our birthdays, gonna have to at least wait for yours

Bea: Oh, you’re really going to sabotage my birthday, are you

Bea: should be hers, if it’s anyone’s

Fraze: can always have the IOU for a later one

Bea: I would’ve been nicer if you were

Fraze: I didn’t know she was gonna do it no more than you

Bea: it’s over now, I don’t have to think about witnessing it ever again 😷

Fraze: I can’t do fuck all about girls falling over themselves to go out with me, you’ll have to get used to it
