[7:17am] 09/11/22

Charles: I just made eggs, and toast at 7 in the morning without burning anything at all, be proud of me

Eric: I feel as though my child has just graduated

Charles: as you should

[9:32am]

Eric: there is a couple outside my window who are all but fucking eachother

Charles: ergh

Charles: I'm not a fan of too much PDA, like kissing and holding hands and nice things like that are alright because people who happen to see it just think it's cute however when you are all but fucking each other in the middle of a grocery store, it's a bit gross

Eric: what type of grocery store do you shop in?

Charles: evidently a strange one

Charles: if we were a couple do you think we'd do that?

Eric: what fuck in a grocery store, no way. Fuck in an alleyway at the back of a grocery store...it depends on the blood alcohol level

Charles: what if we were completely sober

Eric: the second option is still possible

Charles: I look forward to it

Eric: shouldn't you be teaching your class?

Charles: so you want me to go?

Eric: of course not

Charles: then you're stuck with me

Eric: I think I became stuck with you that day...holy shit it's almost been a month

Charles: no way

Eric: it feels like we've known each other for years

Charles: agreed

Eric: I should let you get back to teaching, I can't have you loosing your title as the best genetics professor can I.

Charles: a bit of texting won't make me loose that, I'm too amazing

[1:45pm]

Charles: I have the rest of the day off

Eric: that's nice

Charles: it is, today is a good day

Eric: agreed

[2:09pm]

Charles: I take back what I said

Eric: what's wrong

Charles: my mother is a dick.

Eric: what happened love

Charles: I had to speak to her. And listen to her going on and on about how I should find a nice girl to get married to and other shitty things.

Eric: are you at home?

Charles: yeah

Incoming call from Eric

*On the call*

Charles: hello, what are you doing Eric?

Eric: I can't be asked to do work and this call may cheer you up.

Eric: also, that woman will pay. Mark. My. Words

Charles: awww you sound really sweet when you are angry

Eric: at the moment you sound very depressed however when you talk normally, your British accent sounds rather sexy

Charles: not many people would agree with you there. Apparently my accent sounds like "an upper class twit"

Eric: whoever said that will have to deal with my foot being shoved up their arse

Charles: ...

Eric: are you laughing?

Charles: ... maybe

Eric: you are laughing

Eric: see I made you laugh without asking you what you are wearing

Charles: I don't think me wearing a cardigan and slacks would make me laugh

Eric: sexy

Charles: ...

Eric: I told you me asking you what you were wearing would make you laugh

Charles: fair enough

Charles: what are you wearing Eric?

Eric: a grey suit

Charles: men in suits are hot

Eric: I wish I could say the same about men in cardigans but...

Charles: I reckon when you see me in a cardigan it will change your mind

Eric: oh really?

Charles: definitely

Charles: what are you supposed to be doing at work?

Eric: something with numbers I have no idea, I haven't been paying much attention

Charles: ...

Eric: don't laugh at me

Charles: if you don't like what you do, just quit your job

Eric: no I do like what I do, I just like talking to you more

Charles: I am flattered darling

Eric: you should be

[10:10pm]
