Louis: are you kidding me

my plum: are you actually?

Louis: i'll tell you my height and you'll have to decide for yourself

Louis: i'm 5'9

my plum: hm

my plum: tiny for a man but not so tiny for a woman

Louis: keeping my mouth shut for this one

Louis: although i have so much to say

my plum: hey! don't reveal anything

Louis: i wasn't

Louis: how tall are you?

my plum: 5'11

Louis: ah

my plum: is that your way of giving an unbiased answer?

Louis: yeah, that was hard

my plum: we're not very anonymous anymore, are we

Louis: i guess one day we'll have to tell the whole truth

my plum: because?

Louis: do you not think so ?

my plum: i mean, maybe

Louis: i can't go my whole life wondering who you are

Louis: you could be my own sibling, for christ's sake

my plum: i don't have a sibling who's 5'9, you're fine

Louis: we could be cousins

Louis: and i have thought about you naked way too many times for that to be a thing

my plum: SHRUB

Louis: jokes

my plum: i don't think we're cousins

my plum: where do you live?

Louis: london

my plum: oh

my plum: i have a cousin in london

Louis: see ?????

my plum: HAHAHA but do you have one from manchester?

Louis: oh no you're that far away????

my plum: it's not like we're gonna hang out anyway

Louis: ...

Louis: really? :(

my plum: jokes...?

Louis: yeah?

my plum: you actually wanna meet me?

Louis: well yeah

Louis: don't you?

my plum: i haven't really thought about it

Louis: wow, really?

Louis: i feel dumb now

my plum: okay that was rude

my plum: i have thought about it

my plum: it's just a little scary, you know?

Louis: scary how?

my plum: like, we have such a good connection, i don't want it to be ruined if we meet in person

Louis: i'm a social butterfly i fucking promise you that won't happen. i'll make it worth it

Louis: plus , we're so close. nothing could ruin it , i reckon

Louis: if you're scared we shouldn't do it though. we can wait until you're comfortable

my plum: i guess

Louis: you don't have to meet me at all of course, if you don't want to

Louis: i'm just saying i'd really really really like to meet you

my plum: hm :) that's flattering

Louis: we're close, plum, aren't we? of course i wanna meet you

my plum: yeah, i wanna meet you too. i do. just ... in a while

Louis: i'll be patient alright
