Clinging tightly, voice breaking You gotta text me every day, yeah?
pulling back slightly, eyes brimming with tears And don't you dare forget our secret handshake, alright? Show me you remember.
Right! proceeds to show her the secret handshake
Smiling through tears, holds MauveMelancholy's hand tightly You better not forget those moves, babe.
smiles warmly at her Of course not, darling.
Sniffles, wipes away a tear Alright, listen up, babe. We're gonna make this long-distance thing work, no matter what. So here's the plan.
Oh, yes please do tell me the plan.
Eyes determined, voice filled with conviction First things first, we're gonna set up a schedule for video calls. Every weekend, we'll talk for at least an hour, maybe two if we can manage it. And we'll make sure to catch up on everything - our daily lives, our dreams, our fantasies... everything.
That sounds like a plan, love.
Grabs MauveMelancholy's face gently, searching his eyes And don't you dare think about falling for anyone else, you hear me? pauses
Chuckles lightly As if someone like me would fall for someone else when I have you.
narrows her eyes playfully You better not be messing with me, MauveMelancholy. I mean it, no falling for anyone else. You're mine and mine alone. Got it?
Bites her lip, smirking Good. Because if you even think about straying, I'll come over there and kick your ass. Literally.
Ooh, sounds threatening but i like it.
<Despite their efforts to make their long-distance relationship work, MauveMelancholy and Mary find themselves drifting apart over time.>
Feeling a pang of homesickness, texts Mary late at night Hey, you awake? Just wanted to say goodnight, love. Miss you like crazy.
Checks her phone, sighs heavily MauveMelancholy, you know I'm always up when you text me. How's my favorite expat doing?
Alright, just trying to settle in. This place is so different from home. It's kinda lonely.
Her voice filled with concern, quickly types a response Aw, babe, I hate seeing you like this. But hey, remember what we talked about, right?
Yeah, I know. We'll make it through this. Smiles weakly Thanks, Mary.
Sends a video clip of herself doing a silly dance Come on, babe! Let's put a smile on your face. Do the Mary Shuffle with me!
Chuckles, watching the video You're such a goofball, Mary. Okay, challenge accepted. I'll do the MauveMelancholy Twirl for you!
Laughs That's my love! Always finding a way to bring some fun into my life. Can't wait to see your twirl, MauveMelancholy. Don't hold back now!
Does a ridiculous twirl, holding the camera to capture himself There, how's that for a twirl? Missed you like hell, Mary.
Immediately responds with a mischievous grin Oh, babe, you never disappoint! Your twirl is absolutely legendary. You should start a dance craze with that one. Imagine us, teaching the world how to MauveMelancholyTwirl! But enough dancing for now, my love.
chuckles Alright, alright. Enough silliness for tonight. Get some rest, Mary. Love you.
types furiously You know what, MauveMelancholy? Screw getting some rest. I need some action!
