COMPLETED - Texting Diaries (TSC)

Before We Were One (Jem and Will)

A/N This is the second one of Will asking Jem to be parabatai! Enjoy! *TID SPOILERS* Seeing it from Jem's phone and we'll pretend that phones existed.

William: Hello

JC: Hi, Will... What's keeping you up?

William: Just thinking about more ways to annoy Jessamine

JC: She's not terrible

William: She's not great either

JC: Okay very funny. What's really keeping you up?

William: You

JC: What have I done? Please don't tell me you want to smash my face in as well

William: No. But I do want to know whether you're feeling better

JC: That was normal, Will

William: Normal that you just spasmed at breakfast?

JC: The yin fen in me gives me randoms spasms, so yes, it was normal

William: How long have you got, James?

JC: Not long but I'm living a good life here and you're a big part of it

William: Is there anything more that I could do for you?

JC: No. This was my life since the demon got my parents and tortured me. No one can change it. You can just make it better by doing what you're doing

William: I'm not doing anyting, Jem. I'm just rude and sarcastic

JC: I know that's just the armour you wear

William: How?

JC: I know pain, Will, even if they are different for everyone, I know when someone goes through pain because I've been through agony myself and I can see it easily on you. You're suffering and not letting anyone help. I see it.

William: Be my parabatai

JC: William, you need to understand what you're asking. I can barely give you anything. I will happily give you my whole life, but even that is a short one

William: Jem, you're the only one who has been able to see through the mask I put on every day. That has to mean something

JC: Oh Will, of course it means something. Even now, even as we are not parabatai, you're already half my soul. It means everything, but if I become your warrior partner, I won't be able to fight with you for even half your life. 

William: We can live in what we have. Make something out of it.

JC: Will, I can't do that to you

William: I'm asking you, begging you to do it

JC: Why, William?

William: I can't tell you. You must understand I want to share with you everything, including my soul but this secret is better kept hidden

JC: This secret is what burdens you and once you let it out, you can be free

William: If it only hurted me, I would, but this will hurt everyone around me, so I better keep it hidden. Now stop trying to change the subject

JC: I want to be parabatai with you Will, nothing I'd want more, but the day I have to leave you... I don't want to put you through that for a few years of being parabtai. You may even find a different parabatai

William: I don't want anyone else, Jem. And what if I said I'd hurt more if you don't become parabatai with me? What if I knew that would hurt more than losing you when the day comes?

JC: Well would it though?

William: I know me, James so I can say yes, it would. So the greatest think you can do for me, is become parabatai to me

JC: Okay, then, Willliam. 

William: Really?

JC: You're barely giving me a choice here

William: Welll

JC: It's okay though. I'd like nothing more than to be your parabatai

William: I simply cannot wait until we are one

JC: And neither can I. You've just made me feel as if I have no illness

William: I hope I can continue doing that and making your days as happy as possible. Afterall, that's what parabtais are for, right?

JC: Indeed, William. That's right :)
