[An attachment is being sent Jim's way. It's a picture of a dripping wet boyfriend with a towel wrapped around loosely around his hips. He's pretty warm looking from the hot water.]
Found another house with hot water. Wish you were here, Stars. ❤❤❤
[His hair is still wet and it shows him out in a hallway. He's trying not to disturb Brian or Mochi with his message. He's leaning against the opposite wall from the window as he gives a smile to the tablet.]
Hey Stars, I don't know if you're awake still. [He looks down the hall for a moment or two.] I ran into Brian. I think he's asleep right now.
[There is a light shrug.] He wears a mask. Not like the one Tim wears. This one isn't really creepy. It's just black with a frown painted on.
[It's almost silly thinking about it. Ruffling his own hair a moment as he glances at the bottom corner of the screen.] I keep thinking you'll be here. That I'll reach out and be able to to touch you like I usually do. I keep thinking about the night before and how beautiful you were.
[He's giving a sad smile as he looks at the device's camera. He really misses Jim and he feels apprehensive not being able to actually feel him. He's at the hospital and his heart aches over that.]
Anyways, let me know if you're still up. If you aren't, then I'll see you later. [He's going to lean forward to bump his forehead against his tablet and whisper something that sounds like I love you before ending the message.]
[ Jim's hands clench down on the tablet as he listens to Zell's message. He's alone in a house with Brian, the guy who kidnapped Clayton and tried to stab Kunsel. Sure, he said he'd had good reasons, but who knew what those were in his head? He might decide Zell was a liar, or too valuable to let slip away, or any number of things. It's only knowing how strong and capable Zell is that makes Jim able to relax enough to listen to the rest of the message.
A mask, and Jim is picturing that creepy thing Tim wore in the shed outside the school, the strange tense night that seemed more like a dream than anything. Jim wants to be between it and Zell, but he's a day or more's travel away, locked in the echoing hospital.
That's why all he can do is listen in slightly pained silence as Zell talks about how beautiful he was. How badly he wants to reach out for Jim.
And then -
And then -
Jim's voice is scratchy and close to the microphone when he answers. ] What did you say, Sunshine?
[His heart leaps as he gets a response. He's honestly before surprised and happy that Jim is up still. Hearing him now is infinitely better compared to hearing him from the past.]
Hey, you. [His voice is full of affection.] Which part? Where I'm with Brian?
[He almost looks around for his masked friend as he says this. That's the only thing Jim would be getting clarification on, right?]
[ Jim's still talking close to the microphone - close enough that the sound of his laughter causes staticky feedback. Of course Zell wouldn't get what he was asking or play dumb. But... Jim's pretty sure of what he heard. ]
[He loves the way Jim laughs even with the static. Also, he loves the way Jim says hey. Smiling wide as he sits on the floor. Tracing the image he has up on the tablet carefully. It's screen that isn't really warm, but he has a lot of pictures stored. ]
The end? [He thinks about what he said. It wouldn't be the part on if he's still up or talking to him later. The only thing that makes sense is the very last part. Did Jim hear something else? Rubbing the back of his head as he leans back.] Do you mean the I love you? Did you hear something else?
You mumbled. [ Jim's smiling shyly at the camera. He feels silly now that he's made Zell repeat it, but it was important to hear. It's the first time Zell's said it - the first time that anyone's said it to Jim outside his family - and just thinking about it makes his heart pound a little faster. Love seems big, and even scarier than the giant unnamed feeling it had been before Zell put a name to it. ] I really wanted to hear you say it out loud.
[It doesn't feel like the first time he's said it, but that's because he already used the word when talking to Zack. Whoops.] I will say it as many times as you wish, Stars. [And times he doesn't ask for it, but might need it. Or times that Zell just feels like saying it.
Pressing a kiss against the screen.] Sorry, can't really play anything. Might wake someone up getting my guitar. [That being Brian or the cat.]
[ It definitely feels like the first time for Jim, who's still looking somewhere between smug and poleaxed. So poleaxed that he's forgotten to say it back, but he won't realize that for a while yet. ]
You'll just have to save it for when we're in person. I expect a concert, maestro. Three instruments at once or my money back.
Don't think I've gotten the hang of playing three at once. Do you take other payment?
[Pausing as he dug through his pockets to pull out a kazoo.] I do have this. It's not very soothing though. [Giving a grin as he puts it on his mouth. Looking over to the door a moment. Who even knows if Brian sleeps, so he'll just hum a couple of notes into it. So romantic, right?]
Sounds like a guy I met once who talked like that. [ Well... not exactly like that, but Zell doens't need to know the details. It's probably enough that something about it is clearly amusing Zell. ] Either you've got to practice really hard, or we're gonna have to work something out.
[He's grinning a bit at that.] Yeah? I can do it when I wake you up in the morning if you like. [Is he serious? Is he teasing? The smile will probably say he's teasing, but he is giving a look that says he's considering it.] I'll do my best, but if your take kisses and back rubs for payment... [Then he might go with the payment option.]
If you're going to use it to wake me up, you're going to rack up some major debts, Mr. Dincht. [ The look Jim's giving Zell says that he knows Zell's joking, but also that he wouldn't put it past Zell to try it at least once. ] Shouldn't live beyond your means.
[Zell can think of some better ways to wake up his boyfriend that didn't involve the kazoo. Though Jim's words does make it a little tempting. He'll rub his chin in consideration for a moment before giving a coy look.]
Guess that would mean keeping me around for a long time until I pay you back, huh?
[It's cute when Jim does it. He feels his heart ache watching the motion. Messing his own hair up as he smiles a bit.]
Speaking of risks, there is a lot of rubble that needs to be cleaned out here. We should come back. [There is a pause.] Enjoying the shower is a plus. [Sneaking peeks of his boyfriend in various stages of missing an article or more of clothing is definitely a plus. Flushing a little bit when he thinks that as he looks away.
Zell. [ Yeah, Jim knows exactly what he's thinking about - at least, if he's flashing back to that night they'd taken a bath together, before they pierced Zell's ear. And it's not even fair to bring it up when Zell is days away and not right here where Jim can hold him. ] I'd like that.
[ He clears his throat and shakes his head. ] An old ballad. It's about a man who's going to be sacrificed to the devil if his lover doesn't hold on to him no matter what.
What? [Can you really blame a guy for thinking about his boyfriend naked? Sheepishly smiling as he looks back at the tablet's screen. It's not like he's sending Jim near nude photos of himself- oh wait. Already covered that earlier. Jim would like that. He looks happy that he still would like to clean up rubble and shower with him even after the path Zell's mind went.
And even more happy looking because Jim is actually going to sing for him.] Sounds good.
[ Jim kisses his fingertips and touches them to the tablet screen again before he clears his throat and starts to sing. His voice is nothing amazing, but it's a song he knows well and it makes the hospital seem just a little less oppressive and Zell just a little closer. ]
[Stop being so cute and far away. The kiss makes his heart do flips and ache all at once. They will have some making up to do as soon as they find each other again.
Bringing his knees up and resting his chin in his hand as he listens. He is so glad this is on video. Hes going to re-watch this probably for the rest of the night!
Once Jim is finished, he'll give a super adoring face. Jim could have a frog in his throat and Zell would still love his singing.]

Just... as soon as you get back.

[Then he's going to smile at seeing the bracelet. Tracing it on the screen for a moment.]
Wouldn't even think about getting out of it, Stars. I'm all yours.
[For as long as Jim will have him. Holding up the bracelet Jim made him and placing a kiss against the coin.]
I'll make it back to you in one piece.
