[kaveh isn't wrong. he'd had to decide to be careful so quickly, after meeting him-- overwhelming is a good word for midnight, in multiple ways.

that question, though, is one he doesn't think about long at all before he answers.]

Yeah. I do.

[he definitely believes it.]

When he says it-- I don't doubt him.

[fussiest]

Good.

[ kaveh says it and means it, that singular word. good. ]

I believe that he loves you too. I believe his intention is to love you well. He's kinder than he thinks he is. So long as your faith in his love is unshakeable, you have a foundation upon which you can build what the two of you choose to design together.

I've always believed that just loving something or someone is not enough. It's what you do with that love that makes all the difference in this world.

[abstractart]

Mm... I like to think we're doing okay with it so far. Yesod, too.

[they've been getting closer ever since this started, he thinks. it brings to mind, again, what kaveh just said about building something-- they had the foundation already in their history, and it's been solidifying further.]

I need to remember to ask Midnight about what you said, though. Figure out what his answers are.

[fussiest]

[ yesod, too. kaveh looks.

and then, very carefully, while excavating that thought from where all the tipsy thoughts go to die: ]

So then... well, are the three of you?

[abstractart]

Uh... not all three of us at once?

[give him a sec. he's processing how to describe it.]

Yesod's only interested in me, but he's been fine with me seeing Midnight. They're not involved with each other.

[fussiest]

Oh.

[ kaveh has to think about this for a moment. ]

Well, is there a schedule?

[abstractart]

For me to spend time with them...? Not really. I think it'd feel weird to be like... oh, I wanna go hang out at the host club, but it's Yesod's day.

Usually I just let whoever I was just staying with know if I'm switching for a night or two.

[fussiest]

I see. [ well, kaveh thinks. so long as all three of them are comfortable, it must work well. much in the way of a three-legged duck striving to become a plane.

this is where kaveh realises that he is, in fact, more than a little tipsy. he is already beginning to draw the three-legged duck on a scrap piece of paper in front of him. the pen had come from the crow's nest of his hair. ]

All three of you are welcome at the studio anytime; I'm sure you know this. Though if Midnight proves to be a distraction, I am thinking of renovating a loft of a sorts for visitors. [ yesod is polite! yesod is fine. ] There's hardly enough time during the week. You ought to spend time with them and have it count.

[abstractart]

A loft? Like- for a bed? Or.

[this is the only thing he's retaining right now sorry he's stuck on 'are you implying i should fuck at work']

[fussiest]

[ kaveh blinks at netzach owlishly. ]

There's already one, though. The hanging one, I mean. That counts, doesn't it?

[abstractart]

Well, yeah, but that's... different.

[fussiest]

Wait. What's the difference between a bed in the loft and the hanging one?

[abstractart]

I mean, it just... it just is. You and Alhaitham sit on that one too.

[fussiest]

And we... wouldn't sit on the loft one? Why?

[abstractart]

...nothing. Don't worry about it.

[fussiest]

Netzach, I'm worrying.

[abstractart]

I won't do anything at the studio!

[fussiest]

Why would that be a wo-

[ ...

.......


.................... ]

Oh.

[abstractart]

Look, you were talking about putting the loft in because of Midnight being a distraction...

[fussiest]

I only meant for him to watch! Sort of like... you know. An observation deck for when you're doing large-scale logging, or if you've a foundational class with three hundred students and you want to brag to visiting scholars.

[ kaveh buries his face into his arms. ] Please don't do anything at the studio, Netzach, there's sawdust everywhere. I put in a fire-prevention spray last month!

[abstractart]

I'm not going to! I never have, either...

[after a second:]

I don't know if making an observation space is a good idea if you wanna ban Midnight from trying.

[fussiest]

If he values having a third appendage between his legs, then he will not.

[abstractart]

If he can hold off at his own club, I think he's gonna manage.

[fussiest]

Then the loft will contain him. [ darkly. and then, a solid beat later: ] But Yesod is always welcome.

[abstractart]

Did he ever tell you his assigned floor was tech? Maybe he could help out sometime.
