Two ☾Text ☾ Dear City

[outofthefreezer]

Dear city,

I'm worried about growing distant from my friends. Everyone seems to have settled so well, found their place.

What if we were only together because there wasn't any other options for us? What if the only real reason was because we were all affected by the same things.

[ His first instinct is to maybe poke fun. But Isaac's been okay since he got to the City and maybe, just maybe, Stiles can understand a little of his worry. So he gets the device and fires off a quick text. ]

congrats cursee. you ok?

[Isaac's pretty annoyed at himself since he realised this had happened. The mixture of the fact that it was his first curse and that it was so personal meant he'd stormed off out of the house to chill in the forest. He's almost surprised when he sees that Stiles fired him a non-snarky text, but they'd been getting on better.]

i uh, i didn't mean to do that. its stupid.

[ He doesn't text for a few minutes but eventually Isaac's device must buzz again. ]

[hischair]

depends if you were all affected and got something out of it like learning you want to stick together after

[outofthefreezer]

i got friends out of it, some other stuff. But uh, everything feels different now.

[hischair]

like you're going to mess something up but you don't know what that something is?

[outofthefreezer]

yeah, kinda. either that or i'm just not needed anymore

[anunluckypenny]

i don't think that coincidences alone make friends. friends happen because other people like you, not because your in the same place or cursed or whatever.

text;

[outofthefreezer]

you sure about that? I mean some circumstances force people to be around each other, maybe that means they're forced to be friends.

text;

[anunluckypenny]

totally sure. being around someone doesn't automatically make them your friend. that's not a thing that can be forced.

text;

[outofthefreezer]

maybe i need to remember that, try get used to being friends in this new setting.

[logistical]

I would recommend a group activity, preferably one that is fun.

[There's air quotes around the last word can you feel them.]

text;

[outofthefreezer]

are you suggesting some kind of team building exercise? because with my group of friends that could never go well

text;

[logistical]

Not specifically.

It has been my observation that hanging out serves the purpose equally well.

text;

[outofthefreezer]

hah. uh yeah it'd probably work, i keep making promises to hang out.

[lupusalpha]

It's not all your fault.

[outofthefreezer]

so where do I go about finding which parts are my fault?

[lupusalpha]

The parts that were your choice to make.

[outofthefreezer]

it feels like i haven't made many choices right now.

[makingastatement]

sometimes a lack of options is what brings people together.

text;

[outofthefreezer]

exactly. but now we have options.

text;

[makingastatement]

so stop worrying about it and get in there.

self fulfilling prophecies. you heard of them?

[outofthefreezer]

I guess, in English class... maybe this is all just in my head.
