[ he shouldn't smile when his name comes up. that's bad. but he does. ]

Imagine them all naked. That's what I do.

You haven't seen the people that come to these things. Not interested, thanks.

[Unless you plan on showing up, Matt. I mean...]

What, you mean Simon isn't going to be there grinning like a twat? And anyway I thought these things were full of hipsters with their skinny jeans and their fair trade latte. These are your people, man, let them come.

[ that was definitely not jealousy bringing up the boyf, nope sir ]

He can't make this one. Has a dinner thing with a client.

[ cunt. matt went to every fucking launch. well, before he fucked everything up that is. ]

Yeah well you've got this shit covered. You'll knock their socks off. Wish I could be there, man.

Wish you could too.

[Missing him like whoa tbh]

Any chance this new job of yours would bring you around anytime soon?

They're keeping me pretty busy but I'll see what I can do. Maybe we can get brunch or whatever it is you guys in snazzy clothing get.

[ he's probably lied about how close he is to him, given he could probably just get three buses and a tube there rn ]

[Why u always lyin Matt]

Prefer to just get a pint. Catch up and all that.

[He knows it would make Matt more comfortable than fucking brunch.]

[ ugh, bastard, knows him so well. ]

You sure you don't want a girly cocktail?

[ apparently even now after everything he can't avoid terrible gay jokes. ]

Only if you make it for me. You know just how I like it.

[The way he's grinning at his phone as he types is probably wrong. He's supposed to only get that look on his face for Simon, isn't he? Simon. Right. Boyfriend.]

[ oh he could take that somewhere else. yes, he does know how he likes it. but he's not fucking touching that. at least not on purpose. probably. trouble is he's always been a bit of a flirt, and even probably with nate if he thinks about it now. he'd thought it was just teasing back then. not so sure now. ]

Oh yeah with a little pink umbrella and a twisty straw.

[ no really he once brought a pack of cocktail umbrellas just to take the piss out of him. lovingly. ]

Fuck off.

[God he misses this asshole]

I have to leave in ten minutes and I can't decide what to wear to this thing. What do you think?

[Have a selfie, Matt.]

[ oh look now he's grinning at his phone again ]

Wear something pretentious that usually works. And fuck how long is your hair? What's going on with that?

I was just trying something new. Simon says it works for me. You don't think?

[Annnnd another selfie, different shirt, and his free hand pushing back his hair now that Matt's made him all self conscious about it.]

[ fucking simon. wanker. even if he's completely right and it really suits him. SUCH a wanker. and oh god another picture. this is bad, this is weird, looking at pictures of him shouldn't make him feel weird, or have him thinking about having his hand in his hair like that. does simon do that? wanker. ]

Bit girly.

[ which is probably a compliment from him ]

Why don't you go in your pants. Shock the lot of them. Call it art, you fuckers love that shit.

You're not helpful at all. It's almost like you're actually here.

Nah if I was there the room would be 100% more handsome.

[Reading the response, Nate's stomach twists, thinking about Matt being in the room while he tries on various outfits. Being partially naked shouldn't be a big deal around your best mate, your ex flatmate, but... it's Matt. And despite everything that's happened between them, he still gets that nervous, fluttery feeling when he thinks about it. Fuck.]

Speaking of that famous Byrne modesty, have you caused any office scandal at this new job of yours yet?

Oh well you know me. I'm like an angel come to earth.

[ butter wouldn't melt. though really, he wishes he could tell him about it all, but how do you? oh by the way i didn't tell you where i was living for months and then i was liberated by a bunch of knights who recruited me? ]

Some of them kind of walked in on me fucking.

HOw does that even happen?

Well first you open a door and then you walk in.

Okay but did your coworkers show up at your place or were you fucking where you work or what?

It was before I got the job. Back where I used to work. A few of them were on a business trip. [ yeah that works, right? ]

Still not sure how a business trip involves seeing you naked.

[Well now he's thinking about Matt naked. god damn it.]

They took a wrong turn. So go on, you decided what to wear yet?
