Why are you so against me waiting for you to come back on the sofa?

[ what was this argument even about? ]

[evite]

what normal person sleeps on the sofa instead of their own bed?

[ russians being stubborn ]

[kgbs]

I suppose I am just not normal.

[ as if that was news. ]

I'll be on the sofa.

[evite]

i'm throwing the sofa out

[ you're the worst ]

[kgbs]

I will sleep on the floor.

[ you weren't doing anything while you were always working late. ]

[evite]

you will not

[ don't insult her hospitality ]

[kgbs]

I will so.

[ hospitality like he is a guest. ]

[evite]

[ throws hands!!! in the air!!! ]

you're impossible
what do you have against our bed anyway?

[kgbs]

Nothing.

[ the bed is perfectly fine! ]

I have slept in it before, I will sleep in it again. Falling asleep on the sofa is not going to change that.

[evite]

it's weird

[ sorry this is her hill to die on ]

you act like you don't even live there

[kgbs]

Is this really something you want to talk about while you're working?

[ a v o i d. ]

[evite]

we're already talking about it

[ and she's v good at multitasking ]

[kgbs]

I live there.

[ see, everything was fine. ]

We can cease talking about it now.

[evite]

good
then sleep in your own bed and stop sleeping on the couch like you're some exiled boyfriend

[kgbs]

Or what?

[ she was so going to find him on the couch tonight when she arrived. ]

[evite]

or i'm going to think you really want to be some exiled ex-boyfriend
and that's really going to put a kink in my plans for after work

[kgbs]

I just do not understand why this is so offensive to you. That I cannot wait on the sofa while I read or watch television. And if I happen to fall asleep, still waiting for you, why is that so bad?

[ it doesn't sound bad to him. ]

[evite]

because purposefully sleeping on the couch or the floor is very different than accidentally falling asleep watching tv
and between the two of us, you're not the one who accidentally falls asleep

[ IT'S HER, REMEMBER ]

[kgbs]

But it is not out of the question that I would especially if you are very late.

[ he does sleep, daisy. ]

You are making a lot of incorrect assumptions here.

[evite]

so, what
the problem's that i work late and you won't sleep in our bed if i'm not there?
you realize how absolutely stupid that sounds, right?

[kgbs]

I'm going to eat dinner.

[ he was going to have a sandwich from some street vendor. it would probably not be a good sandwich but he was going to eat and then go sit on the sofa and stare at the television without turning it on, probably. ]

There is no problem. I'll see you later.

[evite]

[ is that a yes? it sure as hell feels like a yes. it also feels a little bit like a dismissal.

so instead of answering, she just goes back to work, gets the pick-up order (she already paid for it, might as well), and then goes home.

she's a little less pleased to see him on the couch than she might normally be. ]

You are, without a doubt, the most obnoxious man I've ever met. [ and yet... ] And somehow, the only one I've ever been willing to live with.

[ lucky for him? ]

[kgbs]

[ he was man with many hidden depths. and he was currently stretched out on the sofa (with his feet hanging off the end because no sofa was meant for a man his size) while the television blared on about something or other. a historical documentary that he'd been following a little earlier. ]

Did you have a productive night at work?

[ at least he wasn't asleep? ]

[evite]

Yes, [ though she tries to stifle the pride in her voice. they'd accomplished what they meant to, a difficult task even in good circumstances, and she'd gotten out well before midnight. that was something to be happy about.

and yet, here they were, both bristling from a non-argument over text about something that didn't even matter. all that energy just coursing through her system, needing an out one way or another. ]

Are you comfortable?

[kgbs]

Yes.

[ he had no crick in his neck nor were any of limbs cramping. perhaps it wouldn't be a great spot to sleep for any lengthy amount of time but he was fine for now. he probably would have been fine if he had fallen asleep. ]

I'm fine.

[ always fine. ]
