Long may he reign. Though maybe consider exile if he keeps threatening you. I hear the bathroom windowsill is nice this time of year.

The bathroom windowsill is where plants go to die. Trust me, I’ve conducted extensive research on this fact.
I can’t help smiling.
I find myself hoarding these little pieces of Nick. Small things, like the way he typeslolwhen something’s actually funny but useshawhen he’s being sarcastic. The specific rhythm of his jokes. The way he circles back to topics hours later, like they’ve been living in his head the whole time.

Update: gave King Figward water. He remains unmoved by my offering.
AntD
Ungrateful. After all you’ve done for him.
NickKnackPaddyWhack
Right? I made him a crown! With GLITTER.
AntD
The ultimate sacrifice. You’ll be finding glitter until you graduate.
NickKnackPaddyWhack
Optimistic of you to assume I’m graduating, but I’ll take it.
AntD
How are your classes going? Did you get your grade for your marketing analytics project? The one you were stress-eating peanut butter cups about last week?
NickKnackPaddyWhack
Yeah, I got an A.
AntD
That’s awesome.

I actually had a weird moment in my social media marketing class today. You know Anthony’s song, “Duplicate?”
AntD
Of course I know it. I wrote it.
NickKnackPaddyWhack
Sorry, for some reason, I keep forgetting that I’m actually messaging Anthony Devine.
AntD
Yes, it appears your memory is atrocious at holding on to that fact.
