Text-thread: Louis and my plum.

Louis: hey

my plum: hi

Louis: i miss you

my plum: awwwwwwww

Louis: shush >:(

my plum: what are your plans for tonight?

Louis: none ! i don't really go out much anymore. fridays are pretty tame now

my plum: why not?

Louis: idk i don't feel like it

Louis: i'll probably just stay in bed and rub one out (or a bunch)

my plum: same

Louis: oh >:)

Louis: wanna sext?

my plum: no

Louis: that was a joke

my plum: i know

my plum: i know when you're joking lol you don't have to tell me all the time. why do you always do that nowadays? you never did that before. i know your humour, you know?

Louis: whatever

my plum: well, there's a lot to do on a friday besides clubbing. like, going on dates, as i've already suggested?

Louis: no, i don't wanna

Louis: i still really really want someone though

my plum: you know you can't be too fussy. you're not gonna find your movie moment if you keep looking for it so thoroughly

Louis: yeah but

Louis: i guess i know exactly what i want now and i won't find that in like a tinder date

my plum: you know exactly what you want??

Louis: yes

my plum: how?!?

Louis: i just do

my plum: then what is it that you want in someone?

Louis: a perky bum :'(

my plum: i knew you couldn't answer that question genuinely

Louis: if i do you'd pester me about it

my plum: no i won't

my plum: i promise

Louis: i've kind of already explained this, but. i want someone who adores me even for my faults and weird quirks, someone who wants to throw themself onto me as soon as we meet, someone who cares about me to the point where they never stop asking questions, someone who's always (not always but often) up for a meet up because they appreciate my company, someone i can chat to and not feel stupid about whatever i say, someone who's ... kind

my plum: you really think about this a lot huh

my plum: i relate though

Louis: yeah that's the six partners i want in my polyamorous relationship listed from best to worst

my plum: ...

my plum: you're never serious for more than twenty seconds, are you?

Louis: ;)

Louis: well, for what it's worth, it's the truth. i meant all of that except the polyamorous part. i'm a massive believer in monogamy and loyalty and whatever

my plum: alright alright

my plum: what makes you think you're unable to find that person on tinder?

Louis: hah

Louis: that's hard to explain

my plum: what, why?

Louis: ummm

Louis: because the person i want is someone i already know

my plum: wtf then go get them shrubbie

Louis: :/

my plum: what

Louis: idk

my plum: hey, you okay?

Louis: not really

my plum: oh :( did i do something?

Louis: no

my plum: for sure? i'm sorry

Louis: no you didn't do anything

Louis: i just need to rest i think

my plum: okay. get better soon :(

Louis: yeah thanks

Louis: text later?

my plum: obviously
