Chad's Apartment; NYC; Saturday Night [ 06/06 ].

[senor_chado]

It was no surprise to Chad that being in a long distance (very long) relationship, especially after three years of living just a floor away from each other (interesting how they never actually lived together), but these last few days seemed even worse than usual for him. Clearly, it marked a sort of threshold, and the time that had passed since

After a bit of yelling in a completely dignified and leaderly way, Teddy had a comm in his quarters on which to call Chad. Oh god, just please pick up. Please, please, please.

[senor_chado]

Chad rubbed his eyes, trying to get all the legal jargon out of them, as he phone started to ring. He blinked a little, especially since he didn't see his phone right away, and it kept ringing, so he should go find it, which meant there was a lot of shuffling around of papers, CDs, and headphones until it was finally discovered under a few metal mixes.

"Moshi moshi?"

[notthehulk]

"Chad?"

[senor_chado]

"..."

Wait for it.

"Ted?"

[notthehulk]

Ohthankgod.

"Yeah, It's been... um... hi."

[senor_chado]

"....hi." Chad didn't smile often. He was definitely smiling now. "Miss you."

He also didn't believe in wasting time before getting to the important things, apparently.

[notthehulk]

"I miss you too," Teddy said, laying down on his bed like a girl chatting with her BF.

[senor_chado]

"You got to space okay?" Chad had to move some CDs first, but he did just about the same thing.

His bed probably complained more about it, though. And, really, there wasn't a whole lot of room in Chad's apartment to stretch out.

[notthehulk]

"Yeah, just got communications working to reach Earth." After a lot of sexually frustrated screaming. "We've been looking for survivors."

[senor_chado]

"...have you found many?" Chad asked.

He mostly asked because he felt a little bad over the fact that it wasn't the first thing he really, really wanted to know about.

[notthehulk]

"Um, a few. Not many big groups." If it helped, Teddy was antsy about moving on too.

[senor_chado]

"That's...good, though," Chad mused. "Better than nothing..."

[notthehulk]

"It is!" Really.

Teddy fiddled with his pillow.

"How are... things?"

[senor_chado]

"Things're....good," Chad said.

"Miss you."

Yeah, he already said that. So what?

[notthehulk]

"Miss you too," Teddy replied, almost sounding a bit desperate. "Really, really miss you."

[senor_chado]

"...New York's really big," Chad said, as if Teddy wouldn't know that. "'Specially with you not here..."

"But probably not as big as space."
