[This is payback, cosmic and perfectly timed. He rolls over with a groan, trying his best not to disturb Wylan in the process, and answers with a grumble.]
Noah...Not exactly how I'd put that, but I'm alive.
We didn't talk it all out, so you'll be dealing with whatever frustration he has from that. [And that's all he's giving you at this hour Noah. If Kaz wants to go into detail, he will.] But not mad.
...I owe you. For waking you up. [He is not calling this early wake-up call even.]
[ It’s a loaded ‘Oh’ because he’s going to be walking in to Kaz and his reaction to Jespers dick but also Kaz and his reaction whatever the heck they had been talking about for almost half an hour….]
Nah. You don’t owe me anything. We’re even. Kiss Wylan for me since I can’t kiss anyone.
[He's potentially handed Noah a bombshell to deal with, or nothing at all. Two very different extremes.]
One: Do that plenty. Two: Do you want to kiss Wylan? Because comments point to the suggestion of yes. [Sorry Wylan, if you're awake and hearing any of this.] Three: I don't like debts, so you best come up with something...
Truthfully he’ll probably pretend none of it happened.
[ but he smirks softly as he walks… ]
One: I sure hope so. You’re both gorgeous. Two: I wouldn’t be opposed to it but he’s already said no. And three: There is no debt. You woke me up. I woke you up. Debt paid.
Probably. But you have a way of making us all talk in one way or another. He just might not say it all outright.
[Noah's easy to talk to, safe in a way. He knows there are reasons Kaz would trust him enough to let some truth through.]
You've asked him? [Okay, news to him. He's definitely going to ask about that later.] Debts are not paid, I woke you up with bullshit without warning. You are checking up on me.
...Off-limits hasn't really stopped anyone here from going after things. You're allowed to ask, Noah.
If he talks, I’ll give you a heads up before you see him again.
[ He hums thoughtfully, worries his cheek for a moment and shoves his free hand into his pocket. ]
More like implied I wanted to and he said no. Which is totally fine. I understood.
And you were clearly a bit wasted. I don’t hold it against you. I was joking that you owed me anything, anyway. So let it go. It’s fine. I promise.
[ Really, he didn’t mind the call. K didn’t feel the same way but Noah didn’t care. It didn’t end the way he’d hoped it would but he hat was fine, too. ]
About as stubborn as you, then. Can't keep me from coming up with surprises forever, Noah.
[He'll find an excuse one of these days--and he'll try not to be stupid about it. For Noah's sake if not for his own.]
Doubt I'd get annoyed in the first place. Sleep isn't always something that comes easy. At least then I'd be doing something more worthwhile with my time.
...Doubt I'll get back to sleep. Wylan's been staring at me for the past five minutes as if I've grown three heads. [And yet: there's a yawn, all the same.] Good luck with whatever Kaz throws at you.
Noah...[Jesper laughs.] He's probably wondering what I'm talking about at this hour. If we don't sleep it's not going to be because of any assumption you're having.
[Though that had been something that kept them up the night prior...]
I'll...probably be seeing Kaz later. Warn me if I should look to reschedule that? Or avoid it entirely.

You're going to be stubborn about it, aren't you? [One doesn't tell another to let it go unless they're prepared to dig in their heels about it.]
Trying to avoid disappointment or to keep from causing riffs?

Date: 2021-10-01 11:57 pm (UTC)[ That…is sarcasm. That sounds very not-fun to have sober. Especially since it was an accident. ]
Incredibly so. Yes.
[ Noah is patient and stubborn. ]
Both…mostly the disappointment part but…both.
no subject
Date: 2021-10-02 12:18 am (UTC)Your choice. Maybe I'll just come up with a surprise.
[Or maybe Wylan can help him come up with something appropriate later. After he complains about this call waking him up, of course.]
I'm not out here to disappoint you, or make you feel like you're causing trouble.

I’ll let you know. But I don’t think I’d worry. Either way I’ll text you.
