*whispers* I wrote a thing 😊 Possibly the last thing I’ll be able to write for a long time seeing as I’ll be starting a new job AND moving home soon...
I feel like I’ve committed a cardinal sin by putting the Baby Puppets in an angsty situation (albeit only a mild one by my standards), but I hope you enjoy this and any feedback would honestly make my day 💖
alex: “we met then and we became... you may say... [pause] good friends...”
miles: “good friends to best friends... at that point, anyway...”
[distracted, self-conscious pause]
alex: “um [visibly trying to gather his thoughts]... and then the friendship continued... as... as... [still struggling] as they do...”
