What is the point of making breakfast you won't eat all of?

ty!

[janehollander]

You don't have to make it.

Just make what you like and I'll have my own. It's totally fine.

[faceov]

It's not about having to, I want to.
Let me do this for you, okay?

[janehollander]

Okay but you just said what's the point of making it so I was saying it's alright if you don't. That's all.

[faceov]

I was not being serious, Hollander.
You know what teasing is, yes?

[janehollander]

Oh. Yeah.
It's hard to tell over text.

[faceov]

Is okay. I'm used to having to explain what I'm saying.

[ though it doesn't happen as much now that he's got a real good grasp on english. point is, he doesn't mind doing it for shane. ]

[janehollander]

It's not you.
I'm just really dense a lot of the time.

[faceov]

[ hold please while he makes sure he's understanding that word correctly. ]

You are not stupid. Anyone saying this is stupid.

[janehollander]

I meant more like- slow to understand... but thanks.

[faceov]

[ ... hm. ]

English is the most stupid.

[janehollander]

It is. It's weird.
But I'm pretty sure you just called me stupid by saying whoever calls me that is stupid.

[faceov]

I hate your language.

[janehollander]

I also speak French.

[faceov]

French is worse. Why are there so many letters that make different sounds?

[faceov]

Yeah, okay.
How did we get here again?

[ pardon him while he scrolls up a bit. ]

Ah, Marley, names and marks.
Would not be the first time you've left a mark on me, you know.

[sph]

What?
When?

[ cue some mild panicking! ]

[faceov]

A couple scratches on my shoulder a while ago. Everyone just thought it was latest hook-up.

[sph]

[ after lots of typing and deleting: ]

Okay well.
Those weren't entirely my fault.

[ 100% his fault, 100% not sorry about it even in hindsight, 100% thinking about doing it again now. though shane's not so into his work being credited to someone else in everyone else's minds, but what can he do? one day it'll be easier. ]

[faceov]

I was very proud of them, even if I couldn't say why.

[ and he'll gladly take partial credit. after all, he's the one who got shane so riled up he didn't realize how he was holding on to ilya. ]

[sph]

Yeah?

[ ]

You should be.

[faceov]

Think I can make you claw me again, котик?

[sph]

[ shane should really just google it, but: ]

What's that one mean?

[ priorities: cataloguing new russian words and phrases so eventually one day he won't need to ask. ]

[faceov]

'Kitten' is probably easiest way to understand in English.

[sph]

Kitten. Really?

[ does he sound offended? good, except - bzzt, wrong. he's... weirdly flattered? mildly shy. feels kind of stupid, but in a good way. ]

I'll give you more.
To match.

[faceov]

😼 You should. Next time we see each other.

[sph]

[ jane is typing... typing... typing... ]

Fuck me good enough and I might make them last longer.

[ as if ilya doesn't fuck shane stupid every single time. ]

[faceov]

I'll fuck you so good you forget everything but my name and please.

[sph]

[ fuck. ]

You sure I can't have you any sooner?

[faceov]

I have a free weekend this week.

[ he could maybe make a drive... ]

[sph]

[ immediately checking his schedule, as if he doesn't have the next two weeks memorized already: ]

I have a shoot for Reebok Saturday morning.
Oil change Sunday afternoon but I'll move that.

[faceov]

I will drive up on Saturday. Get there in the evening.

[sph]

Yeah?
I'll stop by the store after the shoot. We can make dinner.

[faceov]

I would like that.
The door code is still the same, yes?

[sph]

I wouldn't change it on you without letting you know.

[faceov]

Я тебя люблю.
Three more days.

[sph]

[ that one is far more recognizable these days. ]

I love you too.
Can't wait. Three days is going to feel like three months.

[ and a weekend like an hour, probably. ]

[faceov]

We've done three months before. We can do three days.

[sph]

I know.
I just miss you a lot.

[faceov]

I miss you a lot too.

[sph]

Teach me how to say it in Russian this weekend?
