Lance: Bask in the beauty that is ME!
Keith: Suddenly I'm blind.
Lance: Totally my fault! I'm just so good looking, people go blind when they see me!
Keith: uh huh
Lance: It's the truth!
Keith: I believe you.
Lance: I think it's my smile. Makes the ladies go wild.
Lance: Local Teen Smiles And The World Loses Eyesight
Lance: Read all about it on page 9.
Keith: Not first page?
Lance: The first 8 pages are dedicated to me and how handsome I am.
Keith: 8 pages is overkill.
Lance: Aw, come on Keith. Don't say you wouldnt read all 8 pages, because I know you would.
Keith: I wasn't aware I had my eyesight back.
Lance: I'll grant you your eyes just to read this.
Keith: No thanks. I'd rather stay blind.
Lance: You're a regular heartbreaker, you know that?
Keith: Does that make you a masochist for dating me?
Lance: Wanna find out? ;)

Lance: Hey!?!
Lance: Answer your phone man!!
Lance: I'm worried sick!!
Keith: Sorry, it died this morning and my charging cord broke.
Lance: You could have used a pay phone! Are you okay!!?
Keith: Yeah, I was in the building across from the fire. Completely safe, I promise.
Lance: God, I swear I died and went to heaven when I saw the news.
Keith: And yet, you're still here.
Lance: God kicked me out because there can only be one good looking man there and he didn't want to lose his throne.
Keith: Classic Lance.
Lance: I know you find me charming.
Keith: That's one word you could use.
Keith: Anyway, I'll head on home in a bit. Wanna meet me for dinner?
Lance: Already on my way.
~*~*~
Lance: Honey
Keith: Did we run out again? You could have told me before I left the supermarket.
Lance: Wha- No! I'm calling /you/ honey!
Keith: I'm Keith though.
Lance: We went over this.
Keith: So did you need anything from the supermarket before I start the car?
Lance: Yeah. I broke a bowl and theres glass everywhere and our broom is still at my moms place.
Keith: I'll get another broom then. That all?
Lance: Chocolate?
Keith: Already got it.
Lance: See, this is why I love you.
Keith: I didn't know I could buy your love so easily
Lance: For you, babe, I'll give you my love for free ;))
Keith: How generous of you.
Lance: That's me, Mr. Generous.
Keith: If you don't mind, Mr. Generous, but I'd rather we took on my last name.
Lance: Gasp! Keith, are you proposing to me!?
Keith: Lance we just moved in together last week. At least let me get used to you snoring in my bed before you jump to conclusions.
Lance: I don't snore!
Keith: ❤
~*~*~
Keith: I'm breaking up with you. Don't wait up for me.
Lance: Are you still mad about the permanent marker thing or is this the hair dye?
Keith: ...

Keith: First, I'd lock the door and close the window and blinds
Lance: mmm I like where this is going
Keith: Take off my shoes
Lance: wait…
Keith: Put my socks in the hamper.
Lance: I don’t…
Keith: Take off my suit jacket before it gets crinkled.
Lance: is it too late to get you to stop.
Keith: I was just getting to the good bit.
Lance: well, unless u planned to suck my dick, I cant think of anything else you could consider the ‘good bit’
Keith: You just ruined the surprise, Lance.
Lance: omg
Lance: well
Lance: continue
Keith: hmm
Keith: Alright.
Keith: Tie on or off?
Lance: ooh, leave it on. You look so good with just a tie and shirt.
Keith: I’ll leave my tie on then.
Keith: Next, I’ll turn to you and grab your wrist to pull you against me.
Keith: I’ll twist my fingers through your hair and slide a hand up your back, run my fingers up your spine just how you like it.
Lance: YASSS KEITH YASSSSSSS
Keith: …
Lance: Keith?
Keith: Video call me right now.
~*~*~
Lance: Are you home yet?
Keith: Don't you have anything to do? You've asked me this at least 60 times today.
Lance: I'm really impatient!
Keith: I know you are. I'll be back tomorrow, 9am sharp your time. Please don't leave me at the airport again.
Lance: Ugggh it was ONE TIME!! I'll be there, I promise.

~*~*~
Lance: Hey, I'm already here so I'm gonna snooze in the car until your plane lands! If I'm not there when you land, beep me ❤
~*~*~
Lance: Someone said your plane was delayed, but I'll wait for you inside anyway.
Lance: Do you think i need another pair of sunglasses?
~*~*~
Lance: This is a joke right?
Lance: You're gonna walk through that gate any minute now
Lance: Please respond as soon as possible...
~*~*~
Lance: Keith, I'm scared...
~*~*~
Lance: They said your plane dropped off the radar. That it just disappeared.
Lance: They must be lying, right? Right???
Lance: That only happens in movies, right??????
Lance: Please tell me you're alright.
~*~*~
Lance: There's an old lady here crying her heart out because her 3 grandkids were on your plane.
Lance: are on your plane.
Lance: Because you're still on your way.
Lance: Keith?
~*~*~
Lance: Her name is Esmé. Her grandkids are named Samantha, Jacklyn and Benny. If you see them, let them know their grandmother is waiting here.
Lance: We're all waiting.
~*~*~
Lance: It's been 6 hours since we were informed.
~*~*~
Lance: They're kicking us out, said they'll inform us if anything happens.
Lance: I told my mom not to come over. I can't celebrate when you're not back yet.
~*~*~
Lance: Just in case you didn't even board the plane, its 6pm here.
Lance: Happy Birthday to me, I guess.
~*~*~
Lance: Hey, your flight was on the news.
Lance sent an image
Lance: That's almost like saying you were on the news.
Lance: They keep saying that the chances of finding the plane is low, and survival is even lower.
Lance: That's not true, is it?
Lance: It's like they always say. The News shows are always exaggerated.
~*~*~
Lance: Mom called and is crying over the phone. She asked why I didnt tell her before, and I said because you're coming home, and she cried even more.
Lance: Dad had to take the phone from her before it broke from her tears
Lance: They shouldnt be crying. It's not like you're dead.
~*~*~
Lance: I'm not gonna sleep just in case I miss your text
Lance: Instead, I was going through old photos on my phone
Lance: Man, I took so many
Lance sent an image
Lance: Hey, remember the first date we went on? You said you've never had a crepe, and you burned your tongue when you took your first bite?
Lance: Remember how much you complained when I kissed you, because your tongue hurt?
Lance: I should get some of these pictures printed out.
~*~*~
Lance: If I could just have any birthday wish, I'd wish for a response. Anything.
Lance: Just let me know you're okay.
Lance: I don't want anything else for my birthday this year.
Lance: Please.
~*~*~
Lance: Mom called again
Lance: Hearing her cry so much is making me want to cry
Lance: It's almost like I can feel tears running down my face too
Lance: ...
Lance: oh...
~*~*~
Lance: I must have passed out at some point. Sorry for that.
Lance: Man, I'm looking at myself in the mirror and I didn't even recognise myself lol
Lance sent an image
Lance: I wish you were home right now to scold me for being such a baby
~*~*~
Lance: Remember my birthday last year? When my cousin got me that giant cake with the stripper who jumped out for a joke, and I said I wished it was you? And then you promised me that this year, I'll get that wish?
Lance: Don't break your promise.
~*~*~
Lance: They announced it on the news that they found the plane wreckage.
Lance: Completely torn apart, no survivors, but no bodies
Lance: That means you got out, right?
Lance: Please call me
Lance: I cant breathe
~*~*~
Lance: Have I told you lately how much I love you?
Lance: I love you more than stars in the universe. I love you more than there are grains of sand on the beach. I love you more and more each day. You're such a precious piece of my life, I can't imagine living without you.
Lance: Please come home.
~*~*~
Lance: Mom came over to discuss a funeral for you.
Lance: It's so absurd?? I keep telling her you're not dead.
~*~*~
Lance: You didn't turn up to your funeral today. The casket was empty, except a few photos and your favourite jacket.
Lance I begged mom not to put it in there. I told her you would be mad if you came home and it wasn't there.
Lance: I was scolded by, like, three old ladies for being disrespectful to the dead.
Lance: I kindly informed them that you're my life partner and I know you better than anyone and this is not where your jacket should be.
Lance: Who are these old ladies anyway?
~*~*~
Lance: The house is so much emptier.
Lance: It's been 2 weeks since I heard from you.
Lance: Mom comes over every day to clean and force me to eat. I'm not that hungry anymore, but she still forces me.
Lance: The bed hasn't smelled the same since you've been gone.
Lance: Mom has washed the sheets at least twice.
Lance: At the start, she moved a few of your things but I kinda blew up at her.
Lance: Sorry about that.
~*~*~
Lance: Your job sent me everything from your office.
Lance: Keith I think you just got fired...
~*~*~
Lance: I miss your voice so much. Video recordings just dont do you justice.
Lance: I wish I saved our most recent skype call.
Lance: It felt like it was only yesterday.
Lance: But I checked, it was a month ago.
~*~*~
Lance: You were on the news again. Not just the plane, but you.
Lance: Did I mention you were on the news before? Whoops.
Lance: They gave a short report of how you were important.
Lance: Are important.
Lance: Sorry, when everyone else is speaking in past tense, it's hard to remember you're the only sane one.
~*~*~
Lance: I went to a therapist today, completely under my moms request.
Lance: She physically dragged me there
Lance: The therapist told me I need to let you go.
Lance: I told him to go fuck himself on a cactus.
~*~*~
Lance: You're not coming back, are you?
~*~*~
Lance: It's been 2 months since you were meant to return.
Lance: It doesn't feel real.
Lance: Nothing feels real.
Lance: Whenever I think about you, my whole body aches and my eyes itch and my heart feels like it stops existing.
Lance: It's a little overdramatic, don't you think?
~*~*~
Lance: 5 months.
Lance: That's a long time to keep me waiting, babe.
Lance: No one talks about you when I'm around.
Lance: It's almost like you just. Stopped existing.
Lance: It feels wrong.

Lance: I found this box hidden in the closet under your clothes. I never knew you were hiding things from me
~*~*~
Lance: I haven't stopped crying for 3 hours.
Lance: I can't believe you never told me this.
Lance: I never knew you kept every dumb little note and letter and trinket I gave you.
Lance: I can't believe you have unsent letters for me. You never told me.
Lance: I'll cherish this box until you get home.
Lance: Please hurry home.
~*~*~
Lance: Happy Birthday
Lance sent an image
Lance: Sorry it's sloppy. My arms don't listen to me anymore.
~*~*~
Lance: It's almost been a year. I still don't believe you're dead.
Lance: But when I brought that up to my mom, she slapped me and yelled for me to accept the truth so I can heal.
Lance: That was a week ago.
Lance: She isn't returning my calls.
Lance: What have I done...
~*~*~
Lance: It's the year anniversary of your disappearance.
Lance: Happy Birthday to me again.
~*~*~
Lance: My friend tried to set me up with this girl called Laura.
Lance: I couldn't do it.
Lance: It's not right.
Lance: I know you'd be cool with it, but unless I heard a verbal agreement, I just can't do it.
Lance: This would be a perfect time to return.
~*~*~
Lance: This is the last time I'll be allowed to text you. I haven't forgotten you. I never will. I love you so much, but everyone I know is begging me to stop. I'm so tired. I would give anything to be with you right now. If you ever get these, send me a response. Please. I love you so much, it hurts.
