Who: Caesar Zeppeli & open
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: None
When: 2/27

Where I come from - or in my family, anyway, and families like mine. You give your child a special name at their baptism, the name of a saint that's meant to protect and guide them in life. It's just sort of a thing that's done, I never questioned it when I was young other than to wonder why my father chose what he did for me.

Mine is Anthonio, after Anthony of Padua. You're supposed to pray for him to find lost things, any kind of lost things, even ones that aren't tangible - lost faith, for example. It's funny but I don't think I ever actually have. Prayed to him. I always wanted to find all the things I lost by myself, which doesn't actually work that well all of the time.

The patron saint of today is Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows. He died on February 27. That's the thing, saint name days are named after the day a saint died on. So Gabriel died on the same day as me. I've been wondering if that's important - if I should recognize it in some kind of permanent way. Or if I should just try not to think about it, except that doesn't work very well either.

The other thing is that I remember having very strong opinions about some of the saints when I was younger. Catherine of Siena defied her parents and cut off all of her hair so she wouldn't be encouraged to marry. I used to think she should have done what they asked of her. Now I think if I ever had a daughter, I'd want Catherine to watch over her.

wait

what

[nextlineis]

I knew you liked kids a lot and wanted some of your own, but I didn't know you were this cute about it. (´⌣`ʃƪ)

[mylegacy]

i didn't even know you knew that

i thought you were making fun of me

what's happening who are you where did jojo go

1/2

[nextlineis]

I wouldn't make fun of you.

[nextlineis]

[ . . . ]

Well, I mean, not over that. I know it's important to you.

[mylegacy]

[. . .]

[Okay, be cool, Caesar. You can't just go find your boyfriend and rip his clothes off because he's considerate and thoughtful and calls you cute. That sets a ridiculously low standard.]

[Even if your standards are already low because you're dating a jackass. Still. Be cool.]

But I didn't tell you that.

[Pretty dumb, but not overtly thirsty. Well done. B-.]

[nextlineis]

You didn't have to, dumbass.

[God, Caesar talks about him being the idiot...]

In case you forgot, I saw you with those kids on the first planet we went to. And I see how much you light up talking about your siblings even if a lot of the time it was hard for you guys. I also don't really need to remind you how much you lost your shit over getting to hang out with me in that dream, do I?

Honestly, I'm kinda surprised you've never brought it up before now. I mean, I guess I get it with things settling with Suzie. It really wouldn't be fair to bring something like that up because it might have been too much too soon for all of us since things were changing even if it didn't really feel like much changed, but I mean before that. But on the other hand, I'm not surprised. You assumed I didn't know and unless I'm kissing the crap out of you, you're really bad at bringing stuff like this up before.

I'm not stupid though, Caesar. Not like that. I pay attention to things you like and don't like all the time because you used to be really, really, really bad at telling me.

[mylegacy]

[Oh.]

[That's . . .]

[He kind of doesn't know what to say about any of that. He knows he isn't stupid, really, but this time he's sort of inclined to agree with the dumbass assessment, because he was literally told to just say it and then he - didn't. And there are always reasons not to, but Joseph watches him all the time, because he's right, there was a long time when he was awful at saying what he wanted, and a long time before that when he just wouldn't, and now . . .]

[He was just scared, he knows that. Because he doesn't know what he's doing, but then again, none of them do, so being scared doesn't make a lot of sense. But does it ever?]

I wasn't going to not ever tell you. Or wait a really long time or anything. I was just thinking about it, to make sure it didn't come out wrong.

I don't think you're stupid. I just [COME ON......] don't really know what I'm doing, and then I think too much, and then you get there before I do, sometimes.

[nextlineis]

See? It pays not to think at all sometimes! ☆⌒（＊＾∇゜）v

You should give it a try once in a while, babe. It'd save you a lot of trouble.

[mylegacy]

Stop trying to be cute at me.

[nextlineis]

Who said anything about trying?

Besides, Caesarino, I'm fairly certain nothing I could say or do right now could possibly compare to how cute you are~ （＾3＾♪
Suzie should be worried. She was supposed to be the really cute one.

[mylegacy]

it's not cute it's practical

[HUFFS]

[nextlineis]

It's completely impractical and that's why it's so cute.

[mylegacy]

it's very practical because otherwise i might forget one jojo!!!

[nextlineis]

If you forgot it, then it obviously wasn't one you really liked. So what does it matter?

[You huge fucking nerd.]

[mylegacy]

it matters it's important

I thought you weren't going to make fun of me

[nextlineis]

I'm not! I just think you worry too much. （ʃƪ＾3＾）

[mylegacy]

You think it's cute that I worry too much?

[nextlineis]

Well, not ALL the time. I'm not that much of an asshole.

But the times you worry and eventually forget that you were worried in the first place or realize you were freaking out over nothing? That's pretty damn cute.

[mylegacy]

But I didn't forget. I still think I'm right.

You just think it's stupid. But I like it because I like thinking about things that aren't this, like how I'm good at taking care of people. Especially babies. I'm really good at that.

[nextlineis]

Then I'll leave all the hard parts for you to deal with. ( ๑‾̀◡‾́)σ»

[mylegacy]

Like hell you will.

[nextlineis]

I know I'm going to because you aren't going to trust me enough with those parts anyway. So, I get to have all the fun instead!

[mylegacy]

I trust you with everything.

[nextlineis]

Even with a small child that's completely helpless and 100% dependent on everybody else?

[...They say love blinds but wow.]
