We Know

[descendency]

Yeah, that's definitely why Jade showed up in my apartment to Glimpse me first day she knew about me.

[foxable]

?????

she glimpsed you??
really??

damn it

i am SO JEALOUS of that spell
do you know how many times i’ve tried to learn it
it’s impossible
i don’t understand it


...
anyway
you must have read fine then
and i thought you were good
so my judgement was perfect!!

[descendency]

Yeah, but the fact she has that habit at all. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, Huli.

[foxable]

jade just gets paranoid it’s fine

i’m not a stopped clock???

i really can’t tell if i’m supposed to have my feelings hurt at this point, with the running tally of everything i do terribly

[descendency]

Wrong. Jade gets an appropriate amount of worried.

...but I'm not trying to hurt your feelings. I know you're joking, but—

I'm sorry, Huli. You are truly wonderful at many, many things.

Protecting yourself has never been one of them.

[foxable]

[ without thinking what he’s typing: ]

i’ve survived this long, i’m fine

[foxable]

[ ah fuck he’s an idiot fuck ]

4/4

[foxable]

bad phrasing

i just
i mean

i’ll be careful, okay?

but i’m safer here than i’ve ever really been at home

it’ll be okay, i promise

[descendency]

[ it's a long time before he texts back ]

I wonder if I can get you micro-chipped? Hm.

[foxable]

[ yeah, he fucked up. mingyu never lets texts sit that long. ]

i'm sorry

i wasn't thinking about what i was saying

i know you're worried and i know you have good reason to be, okay?

i know.

but i wouldn't do that to you again, for anything.

[descendency]

[ another pause, but shorter this time ]

I've never thought you meant to leave.

Not once.

[foxable]

and i don't intend to now

so trust me

please

[descendency]

The fact you didn't mean it doesn't change that you're gone.

1/?

[foxable]

i'm not gone now

i'm right here

2/

[foxable]

i'm not dead i'm right here

3/3

[foxable]

i have warning now, i know what can happen

if i got into trouble i would tell you, okay?

i won't do what he did

i won't.

[descendency]

It's fine, Huli. It's not on you. I didn't

look after you well enough, before.

I've learned too. You're safe with me.

[ fox is safe with him. no one else is. ]

[foxable]

except you're not with me

you're trying to hire people to look after me

so what

i'm safe for two dinners a week?


i can take care of myself, mingyu

[descendency]

Yeah, I'm sure you can.

That's how we got here.

Because you took such good care of yourself.

[foxable]

[ Fox can't remember the last time he was this upset. He's usually very good at rolling with punches. People insult him all the time, make fun of him, roll their eyes at him. He's used to it. They're right, most of the time, his priorities are elsewhere and he doesn't care enough to fix them.

It doesn't normally get under his skin.

But he's never had to defend himself to Mingyu before. Mingyu was always a safe, understanding place, for him. Where he could be himself without judgement, and he was drawn to that like a moth to a flame.

Except apparently he broke it.

fox🦊 is typing... flickered on the screen a few times.

Then nothing.
