KnotMyProblem: I mean, there’s one motherfucker out there who *should* be quaking in his boots, but it sure as shit isn’t you, Gwynn

KnotMyProblem: If everything goes off without a hitch, it’ll work to all our benefits. Pinkie swear

Gwynning: Pinkie is that unicorn from the pony show. Do you mean ‘pinky’ or am I missing something?

KnotMyProblem: God, Gwynn, she’s an EARTH pony, not a unicorn

KnotMyProblem: I don’t even have kids yet and somehow I know that

Gwynning: …

KnotMyProblem: Anyway, no. You’re not missing anything

KnotMyProblem: It won’t be for a while because I’ve got to get my ducks in a row, but when it happens, Matthew will never want for love or money again

Gwynning: I trust you

Damien was in the middle of composing a snarky response to Gwynn’s poor life choices when Gwynn beat him to the chase.

Gwynning: Which is probably a terrible idea, isn’t it?

KnotMyProblem: You’ll have to wait and see

Gwynning: Is it too late to take back my heartfelt acceptance? Somehow I forgot how much trouble you are

Damien snorted.

KnotMyProblem: TOO LATE, SUCKER

Gwynning: Fuck

KnotMyProblem: You’re stuck with me

Gwynning: Why did I let myself be conned into this?

KnotMyProblem: Because I drive a hard bargain, and I do it well

KnotMyProblem: Also for diplomatic reasons, probably. Just like in the olden days, when monarchs used their children as political war pieces, I imagine my union with your son means the Glitter War has come to an end

Gwynning: I suppose so

KnotMyProblem: For now we’ll call it an uneasy truce

Gwynning: I can’t believe the conversation has veered in this direction

Gwynning: Before we start divvying up territory and establishing new tax laws, I’m going to go to bed

KnotMyProblem: Night

Gwynning: Goodnight, see you tomorrow at seven

The green dot on Gwynn’s icon disappeared, but the conversation they’d had stuck with Damien. Despite Gwynn’s initial opposition, he’d come around. Whatever Matthew had said must have struck a chord. When they were together again, Damien would reward him for his hard work and bravery, but tonight there were other matters he had to see to. First, Damien sent a text to Matthew asking when he’d like to book his flight. Next, he got in touch with Nadja to let her know what was going on.

Guess who found a boyfriend?

Shut up.It was just like Nadja to be supportive. Damien snorted. While he grinned like a fool at the screen, another one of her texts arrived.Let me guess… body pillow?

Nope
