Great news. I was completely indecisive today, and it took an unnecessarily long time to start my work.

That's the plan! Grow an ego the size of the moon, I like when you're happy.

Good luck, my love. 💙
You're gonna give me a big head, stop it!

I get it! I'll start cooking soon, okay? I'll call you then.
Absolutely. 💙

Also, I get worried. The cooking thing is still new, the feeling will go away in a week or three.

I think... you're obsessed with me. ♡
You could be mashing potatoes, and I'd still want to be sitting right around the corner for it.

Ah! It's just gonna be a recipe I found online...
Because I want to be there!!

Oh? Uh... sure! I can. Why?
Please call me before you start.
November 22, 2025 at 3:48 AM
Please call me before you start.
You better! I'm trying my hand at a recipe tonight... so I'll call you once it's done!
Thank you! 💙

I promise not to get carried away; I have three timers set.

Tomorrow, I'm gonna pick my next project to work on. It's been a while, I haven't needed one.

It's late, but I'll take it.

If it means anything, it's cool that you could defeat the concept of time if you put your mind to it...and you don't, you respect life.

You're one of the best to ever live.
We didn’t have this in Themyscira. It surprises me that so many are capable of such ingenuity!

If it makes any difference, I don’t consider the JLI as a joke.
That's Micheal Holt.

But on my old team?
I'm also not the first, that's J'onn.

What matters is that I'm going to get you through this.

Ted works beside him.

He's holding a large beetle, half open, inner parts exposed. It's elaborate. The individual parts are small, and he uses small tools to put everything into place.

A small force field wraps around it preventing the noise of the work from being heard.

+
His thumb brushes along the other's cheekbone, slowly and lovingly.

❝ Let's forget the bad scenarios for now. Let's just... live. No thinking. No bad. Just us relaxing. ❞

He grabs the remote, flipping through shows to watch with a gentle grin. He's excited. This is going to be forever...

Thank you . . .

It’s good someone’s helping me and none other than the smartest man alive.
I sure can!

It'll be super easy soon, don't worry.

I'll start with the basics and answer questions from there.
November 19, 2025 at 5:24 AM
"Absolutely! Go for it. Take anything you want."

He slowly returns the hug.

"And I'm sorry."

+
❝ If it's alright with you... could I grab a snack or something? Maybe watch a show while you do something? ❞

If you could, show me how this modern technology works?

I’m still unused to the ‘smartphone’, they call it.
Talk to me, give me details!

I'm probably willing.

I need a favor, @usbkord.bsky.social. If you’re willing.

"We'll start tomorrow.

Today, I want you to relax. You're going through a lot emotionally. I am too. I'm doing my best to keep it together, keep us moving forward."

He pats the couch beside him with each of the following words.

"This anxiety? Temporary."

+
Ted is kind.

Ted isn't going to let something like this come between them.

❝ I'm ready to learn whenever you're ready to have me. ❞
November 19, 2025 at 12:13 AM
"Cooking!"

He says it like he learned the solution for a complex scientific problem and not like his boyfriend volunteered to help him around the house.

"That's it, cooking!"

+
He wants to treat Ted as well as Ted treats him.

❝ I'll even learn how to make your favorite foods... surprise you with dessert. I don't know... Anything you want, Ted. ❞
November 18, 2025 at 11:43 PM
He knew they would hit this wall eventually.

It wasn't appropriate to bring it to the front of a conversation before.

But now that they're about to be together constantly, it's currently one of the most important problems to work through.

+
He laughs weakly when he feels S'more, reaching down to pet her.

❝ Thanks, baby... ❞
November 18, 2025 at 10:05 PM
"And I personally hate the idea of making you pay half when I can cover it."

He holds him close.

+
❝ I will. I know I can tell you these things. ❞

He smiles weakly. His hands shake against Ted's body. He's terrified of all this. Of change.

S'more lets out a concerned meow, nuzzling against Rose's leg.
November 18, 2025 at 8:59 PM
"That's exactly why.

I don't want you to spend your money on boring things. If I pay for the boring stuff, you can focus more on getting things that make you happy."

He gives Rose a hug after he hears his answer.

+
❝ I plan on telling Mason today. And... I don't really talk to Lavender much. ❞

There's a slight bitterness to his tone as he says that.
November 18, 2025 at 7:42 PM
"Great. If that changes, text me. Actually, I'm also going to keep a list on the fridge. If something is written there, I'll get it before I come back home."

He makes a note to himself about setting up the fridge.

+
He's got his toothbrush and toothpaste. Hairbrush. All his products...

❝ Umm... I think I've got everything I need, personally. ❞
