yes

and

no

[plus it meant that noah got to sleep with shirtless gansey, so...bonus?]

[casperdisaster]

[He's not complaining.]

oh good. I don't want to be a nuisance. Usually.

[mintly]

you weren't.

if you're waiting for me to take it back, you're going to get really bored.

[casperdisaster]

Just checking.

[mintly]

you really thought i was going to?

[casperdisaster]

I thought there was a chance you would diplomatically play it down, which would have been okay.

[mintly]

[there's a fair pause before gansey replies. he's kind of hurt and can't really pinpoint why, because his feelings for blue are reason enough to think he'd do that, not to mention the thing where he seems to be responsible for the balance of the group of them, any hint of bias setting the whole thing wobbling.

so he waits to answer until he's whittled the weird stab of hurt into a tiny splinter of ache to puzzle through later.]

Fair, I guess. Diplomatically playing things down is something I do. A lot.

[casperdisaster]

It's okay to need to touch someone or to be touched and then regret it later. It doesn't make you a bad person. The same goes for not regretting it.

I don't regret it. I regret the hangover a little bit.

[mintly]

You're right. I've just never considered myself in those terms before.

It was a pretty epic hangover. Being a ghost for seven years is hell on your alcohol tolerance, I guess.

[casperdisaster]

Are you ok?

It wasn't that much better before I died honestly.

[mintly]

[another pause. gansey knows he's not okay, but he doesn't think this kind of not okay is really fixable. is it worth worrying anyone any more about it?]

I'm okay with this. You.

Seriously? That's kind of adorable.

[casperdisaster]

Cool. Me too.

[Noah's not really sure what 'this' is. Friends who sometimes make out? He wasn't particularly close with the guys he made out with when he was alive, not that those memories are that clear. He likes kissing, though. He missed touching, missed that physical assertion of existence because only Blue could really give it to him when he was dead. He also likes Gansey, and they're kind of linked on a very cosmic level.

That's about when Noah decides he doesn't want to think too hard on it. He's spent the last six months being a sounding board and helping others with their problems, not having his own.]

Whelk always laughed at me.

[mintly]

[gansey has decided approximately the same thing. whatever it is he's doing with blue can't ever truly be something defined, so whatever it is he's doing with noah doesn't need a definition either. just the mutual knowledge that it's okay.]

Whelk was an ass, Noah.

Ronan's gonna laugh at you too, but that's Ronan.

[casperdisaster]

That's ok, I'd probably laugh at me too.

[mintly]

You were funny. I never knew you had such a filthy mouth.

[casperdisaster]

Some of it I learned from Ronan.

[mintly]

That explains so much. If they had contests for creative profanity he could probably place.

[casperdisaster]

He would absolutely get the gold.

[mintly]

Good person to take your swearing mentorship from, at least. He must hold back around me.

[casperdisaster]

Some of his funnier stuff, yeah.

[You don't laugh at jokes about Kavinsky having three balls, Gansey. Noah thinks those are fucking comedy gold.]

[mintly]

[sometimes gansey questions his decision to befriend people who think ball jokes are the height of comedy, but then he remembers that he loves them for some reason.]

I'm just not going to ask what your definition of funny is in this case.

[casperdisaster]

party pooper

[mintly]

definitely not if it has to do with poop.
