I've only fucked up a few times in the last several days, so that's almost an improvement.
( almost. there's no shovel outside, but oliver knows where he left it--so he lets himself out of the window barefoot, to walk his way over to the front door from outside of it. reaches inside to grab the shovel he'd left by the front door. )
I had a door into Nick's room, but I broke the charm when we moved. Asking Nate's not a bad idea.
( because oliver hates walking and they do have their basement with enough dark corners to put a painting no one wants to look at in. )
I do need to bother Michael more, and his truck isn't nearly as fast as you, ssoo it makes it a little harder.
Is this where I assure you that we're all adjusting?
[ His tones sound dry though, suspecting it's not what Oli wants to hear in that moment. He's not even sure what there is to say but that if the worst thing they did was fuck up lately, it wouldn't destroy them. Maybe. ]
Then have a new one put in to our place. I like you visiting, and I hope you still will.
Also I highly encourage bothering Michael whenever you can. I think he could use it too.
Not like I'm planning on disappearing. 'sides, my closet is still at your place.
( well. nick's closet, which is usually close to the same thing. oliver doesn't intend to snag nick's shit while he's gone (it'll take the smell out, it'll make him even more angry and sad, it's not the same) but he can at least use it in the same context as if he was planning on it.
shovel in hand, oliver starts down the path leading away from the front door, towards kyle. )
[ Which is what makes it so hard to cope with. Just one day they're gone and there's not even goodbyes to be had. ]
Good. Keep it there. Least I'd like it if you did.
[ He wouldn't have stopped Oli from taking Nick's things, but he's also glad he's not planning on it. He meets hum part way to take the shovel, offering a small smile. ]
You should. We want you around. Now, settle yourself in the window again and get comfortable and I'll get this started for you.
I know. I'm fun and attractive and lanky enough to make people think they could probably break me in half yet capable of taking down a bitch if they cross me, which clearly just makes me more appealing.
( he's had a few conversations about this. shovel delivered, oliver slinks his way right back to the window frame and pulls himself up onto it, sitting facing towards kyle while balanced on the edge of it before he's reaching over for his mimosa again. )
Also Michael said I could snag his hat which I'm pretty sure means something big for people who wear cowboy hats and like who am I to disappear and not take part in what is clearly a cowboy mating ritual?

So I'll probably put it back up.

[ The things he does close to that are with only two people and one of them is currently in a coma.
He starts digging where marked, quick and easy with the dirt even as he laughs. ]
Back home there's a saying. Try on the hat, try on the cowboy, so definitely mating ritual things.
Or he's trying to get Chester tangled in your hair, since he likes Michael's hat.
no subject
( who else is he supposed to put on his lap and pet while looking like a supervillain?
oliver raises his glass to down the rest of the mimosa, before he's tipping his head back to look inside the cottage. )
I guess there's the cat-hoard.
no subject
[ It's easy work for Kyle, keeping up the conversation as he makes a pile of the dirt he's removing, clearing it out of the way. ]
Cat hoard?
no subject
Persephone, Potatochip, Trisk, and Jolene. Some idiot disappeared and left me with his cats, and Theo decided he needed some.
no subject
By idiot do you mean that Nick was hiding animals here? I mean, it sounds like something he would do.
no subject
( a good boy, with some hair pets thrown in probably. )
Tate Langdon. Left closeish to the same time as Nick I guess.
