so, its my birthday next wednesday
& dont get me wrong? not a big deal, i guess, its just a day, i forgot it even happened last year, but
thats the whole thing. ive gone from 19 to 21 here, that's longer than i ever imagined staying, which has left me thinking about how long ive been here
what was your favorite mission? what do you think youve learned, from being here? who have you met that youre going to miss when you go home? what moment sticks with you the most? or, idk, anything you wanna talk about. we always get stuck on the negative stuff,
& i get it, its easy to get stuck there
but there is more than that. & i think that its important for us to remember that.
so, i will go first, i guess. i think my favorite mission was zeta-12. definitely. the squidges are great and i still think about it there sometimes. it was nice feeling like we made a difference there and helped that species continue. if youre curious, here is beaker and scooter now.
( there's a picture attached of two full-grown squidges, apparently holding hands and puzzling over a plant native to Zeta-12. be glad it's text mode, or Peter might be getting misty about his alien baby. )
ive learned that there is no such thing as protecting someone from the truth. im going to miss my friends. i already miss some of them that have transferred. im going to miss my boyfriend, though he may or may not kill me for using that word and then i wont have to miss anybody. and... i think woodhurst is always going to stick with me the most.
so, thats me. im sure we all have our own stories. id like to hear them, if you wanna share.

now that you came down so hard on me, when is your birthday
( two can play at the 'lets never discuss our birthday' tango, and you aren't innocent either, Stilinski! )
no subject
or I would if I had one but let's pretend I do
I can't believe you've been holding out on me all this time, think of all the astrology stuff we've missed up on
and you are so out of luck, you've gotta wait for... uh, eight months? it's in april
[ maybe don't.... think about that too hard..... or what happened in last april thanks. (he may or may not be vague on the actual date entirely on purpose, mostly because it was the exact date they left woodhurst.) ]
no subject
( Stiles knows stuff about the weirdest things and who knows astrology could go hand in hand with werewolves. he doesn't have any proof it wouldn't. both have to do with the moon???
april. there's not a lot good to reminisce on about the past April, but, while it's too much to say Peter is over it — that he's forgiven himself for everything that happened — he is trying to move past it instead of being continually stuck. )
yeah? what day?
( a beat later: )
im sorry i missed it, Stiles.
no subject
you know, in the right circumstances
[ or maybe he was just really bored one evening and decided to learn everything he could about it... just in case.
and, damn, there's no way he's going to be able to not answer that. ]
april 8
don't worry about it, seriously. I missed it too, it's not easy to keep track of what month it is when you're in different worlds, I didn't realize it had passed until we got back here
no subject
yeah, no, it's not. sort of how i missed it the first time... but i am not waiting for april, if maya is making me a cake you can blow out some candles too
( he doesn't say it, but he's honestly not sure they will both make it until April. just in case, it's worth it to sneak in a late celebration. )
