INCOMING CALL FROM corpse !
✅ ACCEPT ❌ DECLINE

"Hello!" Lorelai exclaimed, putting the call on speaker and setting her phone back down on her desktop. On her monitor sat one of the many random quizzes she had been doing for the past hour, and she read the next question as she waited for Corpse's response.

"Hi," he answered, his voice sounding strained and tired through the static on his side of the phone.

"How ya doing?" Lorelai asked.

She could hear Corpse take a deep breath on the other side of the call. "Little stressed, but overall fine."

"You can vent to me if you'd like or I can just ramble to take your mind off of whatever is bothering you," Lorelai suggested. She smiled, thinking about all of the times Marzia had said that when she would call her crying as a teenager. "It's your choice."

"Can you just keep talking?"

There was an urgent pleading tone behind his words, and a wave of empathy hit Lorelai like a tsunami. "Of course I can. Oh! So I've been taking quizzes all day and according to Buzzfeed, I belong in the first Twilight movie."

"Do you now?" Corpse asked.

Lorelai nodded happily on her side of the call even though Corpse couldn't see her. "For how bad Twilight is, I watch the movies way too much. I think it's cause of the baseball scene. It's so cool and for what?"

"I haven't seen Twilight," Corpse confessed.

"Really?" Lorelai's jaw dropped. "It's somehow both terrible and amazing."

Corpse hummed in response. "What quiz are you taking now?"

Lorelai looked up at the quiz title on top of her screen. "I'm taking a love language quiz. Almost done with it, actually."

"Yeah? What's your results?" He asked.

Lorelai clicked the final enter button and tapped her fingers on the desk as she waited for the results to load. "My primary one is physical touch. That's thirty-three percent, then acts of service is twenty-seven, words of affirmation is twenty, quality time is thirteen, and gift giving is seven."

"I think my primary was physical touch, too," Corpse said. "I don't know, it's been a while since I took it."

"If we ever meet one day we'll have to just hug each other a lot," Lorelai giggled. "It'll be really good and therapeutic for us both."

There was a beat of silence. "We'll meet one day."

"Will we now?" Lorelai asked. "Is this confirmed?"

"I'd like to meet you one day," Corpse admitted. "I don't think I could ever meet Pewds without meeting you too, anyways."

Lorelai playfully rolled her eyes. "Oh, so you'd just visit for Felix, now, would you?"

"The pugs are cute, maybe I'd visit for them too," Corpse added on. "Although I don't think I'll be leaving my house for ten years so you might have to visit me instead of the other way around."

"Well, if you ever visit Felix, maybe come drop by my room and watch Twilight with me. It's a rite of passage, after all," Lorelai said. "And if I come visit you one day, then I'll bring my laptop and we can watch it on there."

"Sounds wonderful," Corpse said with a small chuckle at the end. "So, what quiz is up next?"

Lorelai closed out of her tab and entered her already open Buzzfeed tab. She clicked on the first quiz that popped up and read, "'don't freak out, but your go-to Starbucks order actually reveals a deep truth about you'."

"We're about to get deep and personal right now," Corpse laughed.

"I'd love to know a deep truth about myself," Lorelai replied. "It'd be convenient to know these types of things."

"Read the questions aloud."

Lorelai nodded. "Alright, hot or cold? Hot, obviously. What kind of hot drink? Coffee." She paused quickly as she thought of coffee. "What kind? Black coffee. It's superior honestly."

"Do you put anything in it?" Corpse asked.

"That's literally the next question, are you psychic?" Lorelai giggled. "I put vanilla flavoring and two percent milk in it. Uhm, then the next question is do you get anything else with it, and no, I just get coffee."

"Boring," Corpse commented. "You don't even get one of their cakepops?"

Lorelai rolled her eyes. "No sir. Oh! Okay, I got my results."

"And?"

"'You like to say you're low maintenance, but you're really scared of inconveniencing others'," she read. "Fuck, I didn't think it would be that deep. I thought it'd just be like 'you're afraid of spiders' or some shit."

"Damn," Corpse exhaled.

"The fact that they aren't even wrong though, holy shit," Lorelai laughed. "God, okay, I need something upbeat next. How about 'Tell us a little bit about yourself and we'll reveal which Marvel superhero friendship you'd perfectly belong in'?"

Rustling could be heard from Corpse's side of the phone before he answered, "perfect. After this I've got to join my meeting."

"Yeah, of course," Lorelai nodded. "Whatever it is, I hope it goes well!"

"Thanks," he said. "Now speedrun this quiz. Tell me about yourself."

Lorelai's hands frantically moved her mouse around. "Okay, so, favorite color is red and favorite fruit is strawberries. Uhm, favorite city out of the ones offered is Budapest. It's really pretty I've been once it's wonderful. Uh, favorite animal is a dog. Favorite tv show is Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and ice cream has to be chocolate."

She rolled out her wrists as she waited for the quiz results to load. Her heartbeat had risen from speeding through her quiz and she could feel it pulsating in her finger for scientific reasons unknown to her. "I'd fit in perfectly with Natasha and Clint, apparently."

"You'd fit in perfectly with any of them," Corpse said, coaxing a beaming smile onto Lorelai's face. "Thank you for calling me. It means a lot, honestly."

"Yeah, of course," Lorelai replied. "I'm pretty good at rambling on and on anytime you need it."

"I'll keep that in mind," he chuckled. "Bye, Lorelai."

"Bye, Corpse!"
