As is the company. Hence inviting you over to my place.

[piecrust]

When you arrive, tell me when and I'll be there. Pie in hand.

[ There is a bit of a gap between these messages, the second finally arriving. ]

It's weird without you here. Is that normal? Quiet and just different. It's my apartment, but. Maybe I'm just tired. I baked enough for a small army you know, all cherry and strawberry and blueberry. My hands are stained.

[ Q is very thankful he's now alone so Tanner can't tease him for this blush. ]

Whether or not it's normal, are you alright with feeling that way? I don't want to rush you.

[ Normal people would actually be leaps and bounds beyond this stage in this time frame. And Ned was worth the wait. ]

[piecrust]

Is it considered rushing if I just miss you? I've never really thought of that, but I like your company. Well, so I guess that means yes, I'm fine feeling this way? Well, I'm sure it will feel more natural eventually but. I don't know. I do think I like it better when you're here, though. Is that what you're asking? I'm miserable at this texting thing.

[ if only you could see the faces and the hand flailing, q! ]

[ He's lucky he's cute when he does it. ]

I apologize these will have to be a regular feature for us.

I feel the same. It's nice to look up from a screen and see you.

[piecrust]

Well. It just makes the return that much sweeter. I'll have to get creative with the pies for greetings, won't I?

But, yeah. It's... nice to see you, too. It really is. For the record, well, I'm glad you came into my shop.

I don't appreciate you being so sweet when I am unable to kiss you.

[piecrust]

[ ... well, let's try to ignore the fact that he had been sipping tea and has then since choked. ]

Well, you'll be home soon, and then we can sort out what to do for the lost time. I'll think of something.

[ which may be why, in very ned fashion, q gets a picture message next. a picture of ned making a rather silly sort of kiss face. and yes, he knows it's ridiculous. ]
