FOR LONDON [1: TOM HOLLAND]

CHAPTER FIVE

mar
fuck!!!!

iris
no thank you
I have work to do
but I appreciate the offer :))

mar
kill me now
PLEASE

iris
last night when you were sobbing into the floor I'd have gladly accepted
but today? no
today - after keeping me awake all night - you deserve to suffer

mar
I AM suffering

iris
shame ://
what's that like

mar
horrible

iris
excellent!

mar
you know we've long since passed the point where you were supposed to ask me what was up

iris
oh?
does this mean I don't have to ask now??
heartbroken 💔
catch me crying until 3am about it
OH NO WAIT YOU'RE THE ONE THAT DOES THAT

mar
I'm sensing that you're slightly bitter about this

iris
perhaps a little

mar
did you forget about the meeting you had scheduled with your agent this morning or something

iris
why did you remember that
why did you remember that WITHOUT reminding me about it
why did you let me console your dumb ass knowing that I had WORK

mar
idk
I was really sad )):

iris
you're gonna be even sadder when you have to find a new roommate because your current one left

mar
you would NEVER

iris
okay no
the rent is suspiciously cheap here
I wouldn't
but only bc of that and not because I'm attached to you or anything

mar
awe you DO care!!

iris
jsjsjjsjsjsjs
hA
no

mar
anywho
here's my dilemma

iris
I still didn't ask to hear about it

mar
I know
I decided I wasn't giving you the choice

iris
I'm turning read receipts off and ignoring you

mar
oh please
if you were gonna ignore me you'd leave them ON so that I could SEE that you were ignoring me
you passive-aggressive MONSTER

iris
my fav nickname you've given me to date aW cute
💓 💘💗💕 💖 💞💗💕 💖 💓 💘💕 💖 💞💗💕

mar
so
thomas liked my photo

iris
huh
who's thomas

mar
you know who he is

iris
me ?? idk a thomas

mar
pls give up the game and don't make me emotionally compromise myself

iris
oH
tim netherlands?

mar
yeah sure that one
he liked my photo

iris
oh? no?
how horrible for you?
one of your followers liked a picture that you posted
who'd have thunk it

mar
I'm gonna thunk you if you carry on

iris
mar I told you
i'm a busy woman
I don't wanna thunk with you

mar
stOP

iris
this - us - it's never gonna happen

mar
iris jane

iris
I love you but not in that way
stop torturing yourself
it's time to move on
time to write a song about me and wail for a while

mar
asshOLE
let me spEAK

iris
fine
what's stirring your pot

mar
what does that even mean

iris
why are you so heated about tom liking your photo

mar
because like he liked it which means that he's seen about the EP and all of the theories
and deadass he has to know that he's London
like he HAS to
and he hasn't messaged me or even mentioned anything or left a comment about the new releases or anything
which means that he either doesn't care or I've embarrassed him somehow or he hates me

iris
maybe he's just super oblivious idk

mar
he's one of the most observant people I know, iris

iris
to be fair you don't know all that many people
your standards in that department are potentially very low

mar
iris

iris
dude ily
but we both know that there's nothing I can say to make you feel better about this
talk to tom
it's the only thing that's gonna help

mar
how about I file that suggestion away for later, way way down deep as absolute last resort
and instead I just ignore my feelings until I have a melt down and make a fool of myself

iris
or sure
you could do that too
that's just as good of a plan!!

mar
awesome!!
super glad we had this talk

iris
smh the way you straight girls work yourself up over boys is beyond me :/
thank god I'm not afflicted with that particular sickness

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm having so much fun developing these supporting characters who have more and more distinctive personalities like gAh I love iris especially she's great even if I do say so myself
