Incoming call from Charles

-----

*On the call*

Eric: Why are you calling me at 2 in the morning

Charles: funny story

Eric: are you drunk?

Charles: very. I went out because I thought I fucked everything up so I wanted to get so drunk I'd forget what happened and potentially have sex with someone random.

Charles: but I don't really know what's going on any more and it's all your fault

Eric: how is it my fault Charles?

Charles: Even though everywhere you go there are attractive men the only person I can think about is you. Whenever I tried to talk to someone the only thing I cottbi k was "you're not Eric". And now I'm sad, lonely and in love with someone who I've never met and I don't know what to do about it because I don't know if he likes me back. Even though I've never seen you I can't help but be attracted to you.

Eric: hey, calm down Charles

Charles: I don't know what to do anymore

Eric: go to sleep, we'll talk about it in the morning.

Charles: m'kay

Eric: good, this is not the best time to have this conversation, it's nearly 3am

Charles: and I'm drunk

Eric: wow that is very shocking information

Charles: I don't think now is the best time for me to process sarcasm

Eric: go to sleep Charles

Charles: can you stay with me until I fall asleep

Eric: ok

Charles: g'night Eric

Eric: good night love
